in the fertilization of crops. One may
be valuable for one plant or soil. and
another valuable for different plant
and soil. The quantities of each COM
ponent used would also vary with
different conditions of crops. An i'm
telligent farmer, understanding these
matters, buys and uses his fertilizers
accordingly. A fertilizer may come
up to the total guaranteed percentage,
and yet be entirely unsuited to the
purpose for which it was purchased.
1t was to meet exactly this need of
intelligent farming that these acts
were passed"

BUILDING REPORTS
DENVER AMONG FEW CITIES TO
SHOW AN INCREASE.
Federal Labor Survey Shows Decrease
of "a Per Cent in May, as Com
pared With Last Year.

Denver's official reports Of building
permits issued during May is only
thirteen less than the same month
last year, but the values show an in
crease of SO per cent. Official re-
ports of the building permits issued
during May in 119 of the principal
cities turnout the country show a de-
crease of $25,602, 110 or "a per cent.
The decrease is general turnout the
country, but among the few cities
which report an increase over May
of last year is Denver.
The cause for the universal decrease
in building is found in the high price
of labor and building materials and
the pressure Of government work, as
well as in the general disinclination
to build during the war period.
The building situation is, however,
beginning to show some strong fac
tors, as many have come to the con-
clusion that building materials will
not get any cheaper, and are holding
off no longer. Furthermore, high
rentals are making constructive work
less unattractive.
A statement issued this week by
the federal employment service in
Washington, shows many men skilled
in the building trades are idle thruout
the United States.
The federal labor survey shows that
carpenters, plasterers and others were
found to be without work in thirty
one cities. Carpenters are in demand
in a few Southern cities where gov
eminent building operations are in
progress.
