This means that dresses, basic suits, even cravats, are knitted, crocheted, or hand- woven. Designer Ann Fleischer has done a whole group of these fashions on a knitted theme, even combining them with classic cashmeres in some instances. She has used monotone or multicolored tweed- ribbon colars, cuffs and belts on cashmere sweaters and matched this trim to woven-ribbon skirts and jackets. A skirt of hand-woven ribbon in a red, white, and blue check was shown with three versions of the navy cashmere top. One black cashmere with three-quarter-length sleeves and scoop neckline kept company with a black, hand-knitted silk skirt dotted with large, hand-knitted poppies. For the first time linen yarn is crocheted in an Irish lace pattern and cut into a dress-top worn with a matching hand-loomed linen skirt. For a hand-knitted sweater-dress, the designer uses dusty pink, flame, and wine for a triangular top and pairs it with a skirt in solid wine. The hand-woven ribbon material has been adapted to men’s cravats. Women like Jo buy ties that match their own dresses and give them to their husbands. These have banded details or solid stripes. « Ann Fleischer designs an elegant hand-woven ribbon-tie, in ■" ► white, with a contrasting hand worked on a slant. This is one of the cravats she shows with her tailored knits for husband and wife style harmony. The dress combines a cashmere pullover and hand-woven black and white ribbon-skirt, collar and cuffs. , l ’— * 1 • ' > - idUt m p ' ' H .. -• - < I p|| Kj?,* - ■ f & ' * SiSS::- x»*. > > .. . < ssjSlSfc&aSigB .f ‘ • ‘ ... . .

ELEAZER Clemson Extension Information Specialist SOIL ON FIRE While I was with County Agent King of Marion, back in the early winter, the muck soil of Catfish Swamp was on fire at places. And when the wind was right, they had to close the main high way out towards Florence several times, the smoke was so bad. Upon leaving there, I stopped to see this strange phenomenon good. That muck soil is just about all organic matter. It seldom gets dry or it wouldn’t be there. But they have had several rather dry years and the swamp has been drained. So it was burning, and there seemed to be no stopping it Even a good rain has no effect on it, as it burns deep. Flooding is about all that will eventualy stop it, they tod me. I saw many trees that had been undermined and they tumbled into the holes that were left. Much of that great swamp has been drained, cleared, and put to pasture. And fine pastures they are, hundreds of acres of ’em. And some of that land is farmed in crops. But in all operations there during dry times, they have to be very careful about fire. A cigarette stump will readily start it, and it eats slowly down and under the surface, that might even be a bit damp from dew or rain. You dig in and think you have it. But in all likelihood it will soon start smoking at another pace. Strange for this part of the county. Florida has a good hit of that sort of land. It is their valued winter vegetable lands mostly, infinitely rich, but also subject to burning. But they do food irrigation on most of it, and in that way they can put fires out. That land is like a cushion when you walk on it. Irrigated fall sown grazing on some of that in Marion was very fine, otherwise it wouldn’t have come up. CORN MEAL At the Clemson House and at the Oregon Hotel in Greenwood ate corn-meal turkey dressing that was wonderfully good. Won der why we can’t have more of that sort? Much of it we get around is sticky, glue^ stuff you can hardly eat, and if you do it gives you the heart burn. Good corn mea 1 is the makin’ for a lot of good eatin'. I’ve eaten corn bread that was better to me than pound cake. While made by other cooks It is only fit for the dogs that finally get it. And corn meal souffle! Oh, boy, there you have a delight that’s al so good for the stomach. The only public place I ever saw it served was at the Fort Sumter Hotel in Charleston. It was passed around free, but usually gave out before it got to me. That was a time that corn meal had a sort of health stigma at tached to It. Back during the hard times of corn meal and white meat, we had a Ibt of pellagra caused by eating little else. But in recent times we are getting some of that lean meat too. And we have learned from the home eco nomist about food values that we can grow or get with the means we have. We still eat a lot of corn pro ducts, both meal and grits. But they too have been vastly im proved as foods. Clemson worked out simple and inexpensive means for adding the health minerals and vitamins that corn lacks, at milling time. And now we have "enriched” products from corn. Several other states in the heavy coTn-product eating area have adopted laws similar to ours about enrichment. What we need now is a lot more folks who can make those very fine things out of corn products, principally meal, for we see that messed up a lot more often than grits. THE GARDEN NOW The winds of March will soon subside. It will be the beginning of growth time then. Have you prepared your garden for that? Many things should be already planted, and now is the time for others. And then a little later is the time to put the seed or plants of frost-tender things out. Remember, the general outlook is for the things we have to buy to be a bit higher and the things we have to sell will likely be a little lower. We have to catch up that slack somewhere. If you’ve been in a grocery store lately you will realize what a good garden can be made to mean. BOYS ARE THAT WAY By J. M. ELEAZER Last week we talked here about how we used to grease the axles of our wagons and buggies, first using fresh pine resin and then later axle grease. I will remember those early axle grease boxes. They were about 6 inches in diameter and about 3 Inches deep, made of thin wood veneer sides and solid wood top and bottom. They were about like our present 1 pound coffee cans, but made entirely of wood. The grease was thick and yel low, but got black after it was worked up on the axle. It was usually kept on a ledge above the gear-room door. It resembled cheese, and the tales persisted in the stone hills of folks eating it at first, before they knew what It was. The little box it came In looked just like the larger ones that cheese still comes in. Our longest trips in buggy or wagon were to Columbia, 20 long miles away. A day was taken each way. And we never failed to take the axle grease along. For after that practically all day trip, the axes needed greasing again before the return trip was undertaken. To keep from having to lift and also get our hands and clothes dirty, we carried a short piece of board with a notch sawed from one end of it to use to raise the wheels up so we could take ’em off and grease the axles. That board was several inches higher than the axle. We would place the notched part against the axle, pull the shafts or tongue of the vehicle, and up the axle would be raised on the board. We stop ped with it on dead center, and ^there It held the wheel off the ground for the greasing operation. Everybody had some such board that was kept at a certain place down at the barn and it found constant use at axle greasing time. An industrious neighbor made him a sort of jack with a block, up right, and lever that he hoisted his wheels with at greasing time. That was better, for it wouldn’t let the vehicle run off the prop, as ours sometime did. You then had to lift a dirty axle from the ground and clean off all of the grit.
