excessive rainfall of July blasted the
prospect, and the tomato crop of 1917
will probably stand as a record, but
little above a total failure. The can
ners of Milf Jrd have had less than
one-quarter of an ordinary seasons
pack up to tne present. and the result
is disappointing to both grower and

Test Soil In Selecting Site.

A problem that should be solved by
the wise prospective purchaser of n
building site Is whether the soil at the
depth of the cellar is gravel, clay. sand
or simply rubbish and tin can filler. 1t
is always advisable 10 make such a
test, even IN a familiar neighbOrhOOd.
The general character Of the neigh
hOrhOOd, type Of residents, restrictions,
II any. and whether the lot will appre-
ciate in value and prove a good invest
ment are other important factors to be
considered in choosing a home site.
The amount Of money available for
building investment will to some ex-
tent determine the choice OF the sites
location. Sentimental, business or pro-
fesSional reasons frequently cause the
selection of q site over one just as well
adapted for desirable home location.
The advice Of a good architect IS Of
value from the very beginning Of the
desire to construct q home.
