BROWN AND ECRU ARE SMART
Warmer Shades are Given Preference
Over Gray Toned Blouses for
Fall Wear.
Though there are many gray-toned
blouses among the autumn models,
one notes n tendency to get away from
the rather overdone dove shade and
a strong tendency toward the brown
tones. In tailored suits brown Is an
extjremely fashionable color for au
tumn some of the most distinguished
French tailleur« are in coffee brown,
or fawn, or heaver brown, and, of
course blouses in the brown, tan and
ecru tones will go with these brown
tailored suits. There is one color that
simply will not go with brown and
that color is gray. Almost all other
shades may be combined smartly «»r
harmoniously—but never brown and
gray!
P.lack Is another modish color for
tailored suits and with these black
suits gray, rather than tan blouses,
will make the proper harmony. So
there are plenty of gray-toned blouses,
though brown, tan and ecru ones are
far more numerous. One ecru georgette
blouse Is trimmed with deep cream
Venice lace and Is mounted over a
sleeveless slip of flesb-tint'vl chiffon.
The vestee and square neck are In
line with the new mode and the deep
collar coming far down at either side
of the lace vestee Is graceful. The

and has a narrow folded sash wl.ich

ERADICATION OF
BARBERRY PLANT
Campaign Begun as Control
Measure, Against Loss of
Grain by Black-Stem Rust
BUSHES THRIVE EVERYWHERE
Plants Spread to Woodland, Pastures
Stream Banks and Fence RMWt
by Distribution of Seeds by
Different Birds.
(Prepare* by the Unied state* Department
of Agriculture.)
The Job of eradicating the common
uarberiy has proved to be a much
more extensive one than was antici
pated by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture at the outset of
the campaign in April, 191S. This
campaign was begun as a control
measure against the enormous losses
of grain from black-stem rust. In
years of moderate rust epidemics, the
reduction in the yield of wheat alone
has amounted to r»0.(XH).(XK) bushels,
while in 1916, the year of a very se
vere epidemic, there was a reduction
In yield of ISO.OOO.OOO bushels is the
United States alone.
Bushes Grow Everywhere.
In the grain-growing districts of the
upper Mississippi valley, where the
campaign has been carried on, it was
supposed that barberry bushes existed
chiefly as ornamental plants In the
towns nnd cities. This was disproved
during the first year of the campaign
by the finding of 170,430 bushes on
1.1(54] rural properties. About 7
.*000
of these were scattered widely over
127 properties, showing that all coun
try hushes are not confined to the
farmsteads, hut had been spread to
woodland pastures, stream hanks, and
fence rows by the distribution of seeds
by birds.
With these facts in mind, the cam
paign was more vigorously pushed in
1919. As soon as the survey of most
cities and villages was completed, a
farm-to-farm survey of certain definite
areas was begun. The results in 1919
were as follows 338,000 hushes we
found on 14.100 city properties, while
1.700.000 hushes were found on 4,000
farms. Of these last, I.OSO.OOO bushes
were ones that had escaped from cul
tivation on 1,200 properties.
During the calendar year 1920 ef
forts were concentrated upon the farm
to-farm survey. A resurvey of cities
and villages In the counties surveyed
was carried on at the same time. In
Ohio seven counties along the western

in North Dakota ten in the eastern
portion of the state.
Many Bushes Removed
In the entire campaign of three field
seasons a total of 5,444.000 bushes
have been found and 4.230.000 re
moved. Included with these. In so far
as estimates were furnished, are hun
dreds of thousands of bushes removed
from commercial nurseries during the
early part of the campaign. The
larger numbers were about 600,000 for
Minnesota, 500,000 for Iowa, 200 000
for Wisconsin, and 75.000 for Ohio.
Of the 1,214000 remaining bushes
about 1,000.000 are seedling bushes
less than 18 inches In height in a
single area In southern Wisconsin.
The work for the field season of 1921
Is to continue the farm-to-farm sur

PARTLY FILLED SILO
IS DANGEROUS PLACE
Turn Machine Blower on Before
Attempting to Enter.
Number of Accidents Occur Each Year
Owing to Carelessness and Ignor
ance of Methods of Removing
Deadly Cases.
(Prttoratf by the I'nltert StatM D«p*rtm«M
of Agriculture.)
Turn the machine blower on nnd
leave it on for at least two minutes
before anyone Is permitted to enter
a partly tilled silo. Unless this rule
is followed, the result is likely to be
dead men, says the United States
Department of Agriculture.
Annually fatalities occur among
fanners and their helpers as a result
of the workmen entering half-filleo
silos after the deadly carbon monoxide
gases have had a chance to accumu
late directly above the freshly en
siled orn. A few days ago two Illi
nois farmers were killed and another
was rendered seriously sick by slln

gases which are almost as dangerous
as the poisonous mustard gases used
during the recent war. In this itt«
stance, one of the farm workmen
entered a 50-foot silo which had been
half tilled the previous day. Some
time elapsed and when he did not
come out. another of the hands as
cended into the silo. Neither re
appeared, though the other workers
shouted to them repeatedly to come
down.
Fearing an accident, the farm owner
finally climbed into the silo. He also
was immediately overcome by the
poisonous fumes and only the fact
that others followed him, forced open
the extra silo doors ami carried him
Into the open air saved his life. The
two other men were suffocated im
mediately.
Each year, a numbVr of accidents of
this kind occur, due largely to care
lessness and ignorance of the proper
methods of eradicating the dangerous
gases. The preventive measures are
simple and efficient and, where they
are followed, there Is no danger.
No workman should ever enter a
partly filled silo, after the ensiled
com has had an opportunity to de
velop poisonous carbon monoxide
gases overnight, until the machine
blower has been started. The fresh
air dilutes and scatters the obnoxious
gases to the extent that they are
rendered harmless. After the blower
has been operated for two minutes,
it is perfectly safe for the workmen
to enter. Another precaution which
should be practiced religiously is not
to wedge the silo doors into place un
til they are needed to prevent the
waste of the ensiled corn. Many
farmers follow the practice of plac
ing most of the doors before any great
amount of corn is cut and deposited
In the silo. This prevents free cir
culation of air through the silo which,
in turn, operates to favor the accumu*
latlon of carbon monoxide and other
deadly silo gases.
