The grain shipper in the Sou therm states has u> contend with one problem peculiar to that region which Is bo,yond Us control. let be can Indirectlj «ert an influence toward its ersdlUon. The problem Is weeru* to corn. While the matter rests primarily with the farmer, and while he is a heavier loser than the shipper, the business of the Utter U handicapped. Against the Increase of live weevils to corn the shipper can use only precautions ry measures while the grain U to hU elevator or to transit after shipmenu The aim should be to destroy them before the grain Is shipped. When this U not dpne the weevils may increase enormously to hot weather, should the car be deUyed to transit or not be unloaded promptly on Its arrival at the term In nl market. If the grain, when Inspected at the terminal market. Is found to be “Infested with live weevils or other Insect* Injurious to stored grain," It will be graded sample grade under the application of the federal graue*. Cora shipped as No. 8, for Instance, might easily fsll to sample grade because of Its being Infested with live weevils. A point that the grain shipper must consider U that the corn may go Into storage on its arrival at a terminal market. No terminal elevator company win put com containing live weevlht into lla bins unless intending to treat the grain at once to order to kill the weevils. While the grain dealer can destroy the weevlU Un his elevator or warehouse. this does not affect the source of supply which Is on the farm. • It has been estimated that weevils cause an average annual loss of 10 per cent of the corn crop In the Southern states. This lo.®* can be prevented. The control of weevils, It Is said. Is simple. It Is discussed at length Farmers’ Bulletin No. 1029 of the United Slates department of agriculture. Every grain dealer should send for a

copy.

It Is obvious that the grain dealer’s interests are identical with the farmer’s to the matter of the eradication ef the weevil. Therefore, the grain dealer should Jota the farmer In a fight against the pest-

Raspberry, lemon, almond— these are the new colors for summer frocks, the colors which suggest the rich or delicate tone* of fruit. Just off Fifth avenue there is a Httle shop which Is making a specialty of summer frocks—especially those tha' one naturally associates with after noon tea or garden party. They ere shown In a wide range of materials, which embody all the new shades. The designs are quite simple, and. what is more, quite suitable for summer mornings or afternoons.

With tbd exception of pongees the products of the Chinese looms are not popular abroad, except to oriental countries, being too heavy, although the patterns are wonderfully beautiful .and ihe colon exceedingly

The pongees are woven in the homes of the peasants, and'us they come from many loom* no two pieces are ever exactly alike to weight, fineness, color and texture. The shantungs come from the Liu tang district, and the nanshal from the Nighal district. These pongees are made from the wild silk of Manchuria, where the silkworms are not cultivated and fed on mulberry leaves as in the rest China but feed at will on oak leaves. In the spring the eggs hatch on the branches of the oak tree* and the coons are gathered about September. On attaining their full growth silfcwonns seek something to which tach themselves to order to wind themselves up In their silk envelopes.
