Slacks Suit
Elegance for resort wear.
By VERA WINSTON
IT LOOKS like a general ac
ceptance of the slacks suit since
the stores are ordering it in
every fabric, and style for work,
for lounging and for smart wear.
The suit shown comes under the
latter category. The beautifully
tailored slacks are of creamy
white gabardine teamed up with
a matching jacket that is nice
with a skirt or over a dress. Here
the jacket is worn with blouse of
shocking pink crepe with a tur
quoise and white print. There is
a pleated edge to the wide shawl
collar.
Grow More Alfalfa
For Excellent Hay
Alfalfa produces exceptionally
high quality hay and larger total
acre yields than other legumes,
making it an excellent crop for
planting to offset the existing feed
shortage, says Dr. E. R. Collins,
in charge of agronomy extension
at State College.
Alfalfa can be grown on moder
ately-heavy, well-drained, and fer
tile upland soils throughout the
state. It is not suited to bottom
soils because it gets “wet feet”
when the water table is high. It
must be grown on good land be
cause it is not a “poor land” crop.
Collins advises that now is the
time to select the land for the
sowing of the crop in September.
Disk it with a “bush and bog"
harrow, leaving as much of the
vegetation on the surface as pos
sible, and prepare to disk once
or twice more before seeding.
A sample of the soil should be
taken now and sent to the Soil
Testing Laboratory at Raleigh for
a recommendation on how much
lime is needed for the crop. It
should be applied immediately
since limestone does not quickly
neutralize soil acids.

C., last Tuesday, is reported to be
