SAFEGUARDS TO
PROTECT BUYERS
OF HOMES URGED
Local Committees Being Or
ganized to Watch
Profiteering

Washington, June 26. y Local
committees engaged in the Own
Your Own Home campaign, which
the United States Department of
Labor has been conducting since the
first of the year, have as one of their
chief functions the safeguarding of
the interests of builders and invest
ors against profiteering in land val
ues or building materials.
Wherever town or city has un-
dertaken to stimulate building as
part of the nations reconstruction
program, the interests of the COM
mitteeS have been co-ordinated in
such way that spectators in real
estate or contractors willing to eX-
plot the builder have had little
chance. Real estate exchanges,
chambers of commerce, mortgage
investment companies and building
associations have worked together
for the common good. With the
first idea that shortage of housing
gives an opportunity to start con-
struction work, which provides en-
ployment for returning soldiers, the
Own Your Own Home movement
was started in a few enterprising
cities.
100 Cities in Campaign
1t quickly spread until now more
than 100 cities are regularly en-
rolled in the campaign while sew
eral hundred more are cooperating
in the work of stimulating bust
ness. In cooperating with the
United States Homes Registration
Service, whose local committees
have provided valuable information
and support to building enterprises.
important results have already been
accomplished. Towns of every size
have taken an interest in starting
these improvements. Where there
was not an organized effort, activ-
ity has been encouraged, and each
month shows surprising progress in
all parts of the United States.
The Own Your Home campaign
has been primarily an effort to re-

vive building, but naturally it has
awakened ambition to buy as well
as to build. Here, again. it has
been emphasized that local general
committees of the Own Your own
Home campaign should appoint var
ious subcommittee to deal with
special branches of homecoming
enterprises. On such subcommittees
it has been stipulated that there
should serve representatives of or
ganized labor, of building and loan
associations, of the United States
Homes Registration Service and 9TH
er civic agencies, as we'll as rep
resentative of real estate interests.
Where Harm Is Done
1t is recognized that more harm
than good might easily be done in
a community by persuading men to
carry financial burdens heavier than
they can bear successfully. Any
family may be forced to pass
employment. 1t is pointed out,
therefore, that prospective purchas-
ers should not be encouraged so to
bind themselves financially that they
will jeopardize their entire savings
should periods of unemployment or
misfortune come to them.
Nothing more surely discourages
home ownership than the practices
of what are commonly known as
mortgage sharks" who lure pros
pective home owners into bad in
vestments and then foreclose on the
first default. Local Own Your Own
Home and Build Now committees
are being counseled to warn men
and women against unscrupulous
persons and organizations and to
recommend only mortgage compa-
MES whose methods of business are
reliable. Special subcommittee to
advise on mortgages are always de-
sirable and the members of these
should be publlc-spirited citizens,
familiar with financial problems and
able wisely to direct delinquent
purchasers as well as interested
buyers.

Corn silage and concentrates are
highly recommended as fattening feed
for steers. Experimental stations re.
port that silage and oil meal or cot.

cheaper than corn or even than hay
or corn with concentrates or silage

II is admitted that a steer cannot
be finished for beef properly and to
the best advantage on an all-silage
diet. But the most polished steer on
the market is not always the most
profitable one. High priced feed may
surcost the high priced carcass.

II is practically impossible to try to

Thousands Of dollars worth OF seed
are wasted In unsuccessful attempts
Specialists recommend that fields on
the decline should be plowed up and

Even though the seed terminates
periods different from those Of the old
plants. while ordinarily the young
plants are smothered out before they
make much growth. Even where an
alfalfa field is patchy and covered
with practically bare spots, II is not
advisable to attempt TO reseed except
by breaking up the entire field and
again sowing down with alfalfa.
Not Profitable to Cultivate.
