Housing Problem Ser
iOuS in All Localities
Plan Adopted by Seattle Business
Men Being Watched With In
terest All Over Country

More homes, and then some more
homes, is the big problem now con-
fronting the people of Sank Centre.
The housing problem here, like that
of most every locality in the United
States, is one which is causing no
little amount of concern.
Everybody own your own home" is
something of slogan in Sank Centre,
but this, too, is problem which must
be met on solid footing.
Out in Seattle, Wash, the Chamber
of Commerce has adopted an ideal
plan for the promotion of a home
building program. That body recently
published the following account Of
their method of procedure:
"Our war board appointed J. F..
Douglas chairman of committee to
conduct a campaign which would en-
courage house building.
The Metropolitan Building Com
pany provided the entire ground floor
space of one of it's large office build
ings as headquarters, and group Of
men with special knowledge was gath
cred together and the name More
Homes bureau was chosen.
"The work was based on a survey
we had made, showing the probable
additional population we could expect
by Jan. 1, 1919. From this survey We
decided that we should aim at the
building of 5000 homes.

House. We decided to use these

House. We decided to use these
methods:
Il. To organize second mortgage
company, as there was none in the
city at that time, which would lend
reasonable sums on second mortgage,
especially to persons building their
own homes. The theory was that the
amounts should be limited to approx
mately 5000, payment to be made in
monthly installments.
2. To organize popular campaign
to pledge property owners and bust
ness men, whether they were property
owners or not, to build one or more
houses as civic duty.
Lists were compiled showing every
property owner owning five or more
vacant lots, every person having a
real property value of 100000 or over
and a great many men of NO large
financial responsibility, but who, it was
thought, might be able to build homes
for themselves.
From these sources we completed
list of about 5000 prospects. The
names and addresses were transferred
to pledge blanks, and, starting Septem-
Der 3, we put $50 business men into
the field as canvassers to secure signed
pledges. When the campaign, which
lasted five days, was finished, we had
pledges for 1850 houses or their equiv
alent in apartments"
More than 1000 had been built by
November 1.

rid Of quackgrass. Extra epense re-
quired by extra tillage will in most
cases be largely made up by the in
crease yields. Buckwheat in success
sive years or alternating with corn
or potatoes, is a good antidote for
quackgrass, and silage corn planted
each. year for several years on an
infested tract will if well cultivated
drive out the false grass.
Sprayed Potatoes Give Best Yield
your potatoes with bordeaux
mixture. That is the advice Of Floyd
Riggs Of Bertha, Mimi, who grew 40
acres of good Early Ohios in 1919.
Mr.. Riggs experience is related in a
communication addressed to extension
division men at University Farm by
G. H. Atwood, county agent of Todd
county. The composition Of the spray
was $3.50, in other words five
pounds Of copper sulphate (blue Wit
roll five pounds of good stone lime
and so gallons of water. Each chem
ical should be dissolved in % gallons
of water, stirred thoroughly and
poured together into 50-gallon bar
rel. The field was sprayed five times
June IL, 10 and % and July z and
10. The crop, which yielded 100 BUSH
els to the acre, was sold in Septem-
Der for $1.29 a bushel. The cost of
raising amounted to $60.5O an acre;
the profit was $6S.50 an acre. Mr..
Riggs has been spraying with the
mixture Cor several years and says
there is no question but what it has
paid. In 1916 he kept a check and
found that on unsprayed plot yield
ed only about half as much as the
sprayed plot of equal area. In 1917
the unsprayed plot yielded about
two-thirds as much as the sprayed.
Mr.. Riggs hill-selected several bush
els of high yielding potatoes last fall
and expects to improve his crop this
yea.
