Short Crops in State.' A majority of the North Carolina crops this year are considerably short of last season's, which ranked possibly fifth among crop productions of states,, according to the latest re port of the State's Co-operative Crop Reporting Service.

There is no end to the fanciful ways in which they are made and nothing is too extravagant In the way of trimming them. For din ner and theater wear they have ad vantages and they appear in brilliant and light colors, and in combinations of two colors in materials, with dec orations that call into play many ad ditional hues. The peplum blouse, the apron blouse and the smock have a gay future ahead of them. Georgette crepe, chiffon and net with chantilly and gold-run lace? new ly recruited In their company are the filmy mediums in which evening blouses are made. Worn with skirts of black satin they achieve a toilette that may be worn with assurance. Among color combinations, - emer ald or even more vivid greens with black are distinctive. Copper colored crepe with gold lace, champagne with black embroidery, peacock blue and light green show the fondness for vir ile colors. There is a new sort of dec oration that looks like the finest bead- vork done in many colors. But It is Velvet Becomes Satin's Rival s ' ' I ' Just how It happens has never been explained, but it happens every little while that a certain style seizes the at tention, simultaneously, of women all over the 'length and breadth of the land. Merchants wake up some morn ing to find that apparently every wom an has made up her mind over night that she wants one kind of fabric, one particular color, one style. Just now it seems that every woman wants a velvet gown, in addition to the satin frock for which there has been a uni versal demand. It seems that the shops saw' this wave of demand rolling In, and that designers and manufac turers were prepared for It, Designers require supple materials for frocks and they have determined on chiffon velvets In very wide widths, and the finest grades of velveteen, as best suited to their purposes. These are used for afternoon and , evening dresses. The heavier grades of vel veteen will answer for suits, but the more flexible stuffs are liked for every thing and chiffon velvets are In such demand that they bring very high prices. The best grades of velveteen are by ho means cheap. By way of recompense, velvet .frocks are very simply designed and fussy decorations are conspicuous by their absence on them; so that the minimum of goods is required. v These points are .apparent In the pretty frock for afternoon, shown at the left of the two pictured here. It is of wide, light-weight velveteen In marine blue. This skirt has six round plaits set on at each side widening the hip a sort of paint put on in dots set close together and appears in motifs on girdles of georgette like the blouse. Blouses In one color are enlivened with rich-girdles of gold or silver bro cade. Embroideries in silk and in beads, often used together, and oc casionally mock jewels and gold tissue confess that nothing is too splendid for the blouse which is to be worn in the evening, and narrow bands of dark fur find themselves placed to the best advantage on lace and georgette. Two pretty examples of the mode are shown here. In one of them crepe de chine appears with satin in an odd, original model with woodbine leaves in silk and beads, embroidered on the satin. It has an apron at the front, bloused at the waistline and bordered with the embroidered satin. The long sleeves flare at the wrist and are fin ished with a satin band. Pale gold and turquoise blue are, as always, hap py together in the blouse at the right. Blue beads give a good account of themselves as a trimming and the sleeves challenge us to pronounce them the most graceful of the many styles that help to make the selason interesting. lines and this arrangement of the ma terial is borrowed from a Paris de signer who introduced it early In the season. Aside from this small vagary, it is plain. The bodice has a plain back and surplice front filled in with flesh-colored georgette. One side of the front is extended into a soft girdle, finished at the front with a handsome beaded ornament. The long sleeves have a turned-back frill of velveteen. The small muffler collar is a separate affair that swathes the neck in soft folds and buttons at the side. It may be taken off indoors. Satin gowns reveal that their design ers are more .or less devoted to draped skirts, the model pictured being among the simplest of these. In this frock a smock of satin, split to the waistline at the left side, is covered with a sun burst pattern and points made of silk braid couched on. The design is' an Aztec inspiration pure and simple and a long girdle of satin ending in tassels repeats it. A plain turndown collar and deep cuffs of the satin are impor tant details in this frock and help to account for its distinction. Batik decorations in all their high colorful effects will unquestionably be seen to a great extent "In autumn blouses, overblouses ad negligees ot all kinds. - 1ECK BROKEN BY AUTOMOBILE New School Building to be Erected at Wadeaboro at Estimated ' , Cost of $75,000. . ; Wadesboro.

STOCK BELOW DANGER POINT Farmer in Patterson Township, Dur ham County Knows That His Assessment Was not Too High. Durham. The life of the assessors is not always assessing. , It is calcu lated to spring surprises, as in the case of Robert Hopson, in Patterson township, which occurred in the past few days. Spence Suitt and Gene Shepherd, tonwships assessors of real estate, were in Paterson township, and assessed Mr. Robert Hopson's farm of 48 acres at $1,800. Mr. Hopson objected to the figures in emphatic words, and said he would sell his farm at that price, and consider that he got a good price for1 it. The two assessors took him at his word, and took his farm right there . and then. Before the deed could be made out In their names they sold the place for the sum of $2,000.
