Clubroot is not manifested in the
top in early stages of development, but
may always be seen on the roots if it
is present at the time the plants are
taken from the seed bed. An abnor-
NAL swelling in any part of the root
is an indication of the presence of this
disease. In its later stages the swell
ing may involve the entire root, as
shown in the illustration and will in
variably cause the production of a
poor head.

knot of a wide variety of plants, so
injurious in the southern part of the

Realty Investment
Proved Safe Time
And Time Again
of Those Who Parted
With Holdings Not SO
Long Ago Have Reason
to Repent Their Mistake
By Daniel H. Jackson

The real estate field was never in n
healthier condition. Active real es-
tate men constantly in touch with the
market and understanding conditions
governing realty will agree with me
that the future for realty is good.
There is no question that it is the
safest and most staple investment in
the world. This has been conclusiyelv
proven time and time again. Manv
persons who sold their realty holdings
a few years ago in order to invest in
stocks. bonds and other securities have
since had occasion to repent. MANY
of these other investments have de.
preciated in value. The loss in some
cases have been almost as much as q
third of their original price. On the
other hand many of those who were
wise enough to hold on to their realty
are now enjoying good and steady in
comes, besides seeing their invest
ments almost doubled in value.
The future of real estate is very
bright. Values of good located real
estate continue to rise. Too many
buildings cannot be erected The cost
of construction will continue high for
many years and will never be as low
as pre-War times

Ne,o Year VIII Be One of Best Real Estate
Has Had Since 1907, Says II. z. Do,vling

Robert Z. Bowling said yesterday
that he is of the opinion that the COM
ing year will be one of the best the
real estate market has had since 1907.
He believes that business in general
Will be more active.
Eearly in 1918 Mr.. Bowling told real
estate men to be prepared for big bust
ness and a lot of it At that time the
market was not a happy one for either
the broker or the owner who had to
sell. The activity which began soon
after that statement was made verified
his predictions. The years 1919 and
1870 brought almost unprecedented ac-
tivity.
Mr.. Bowling now thinks that the
year 1922 will prove to be a better one
than any the market has had in recent
years. He thinks that in the coming
year investors will be the leaders in
the market and that such speculation
as we had in 1919 and 1920 will not be
repeated.
He bases his conclusions that busi
ness will be better next year on the
trend in general business and on OBJ
ociNdllouS Ol unuefllne forces that
are making for improved conditions in
the real estate, financial or industrial
markets.
Turn Started Last Spring
"Last spring / came to the conclu-
sion," Mr.. Bowling said, chat condi
tlons were due for a change for the
better. The largest industrial cor
porations were then engaged in rcor-
ganlzlng their methods of financing
and operating the great industries Of
the country, and there has been a
steady Improvement in almost all lines
since early in the summer.
.! think that a great change will be
noticed from the very beginning of
te year. ! do not expect 1872 to eoua.
IN general business, the record estab-
llshd in 1919, but I look for trade
revival on much sounder basis.
Money Conditions Favor Realty
Money conditions favor investment
IN bond and mortgage. Municipal and
railroad bonds are rising in price and
this has been the tendency for some
months. To my mind this upward
movement in the bond market will
tend to turn money to real estate. for
the investors will no longer be able
to get the abnormal rates of interest

we may expect great revival Of bust
ness.
1T is my belief that this country is
suffering from the commercial sins OF
other countries. In South America and
other places banking systems broAe
down in 1928; they could not pay for
their imports from this country, and
the result was the closing down of en-
terprises and industries here. There
was nothing fundamentally wrong WIN
American business; we are not over
producing in any big way. The great
basic industries have gradually cut
down their production and enormously
reduced their debts.
1922 Holds Surprise for Many
II think that the year 1922 will be
surprise to most people. If am not
greatly mistaken, business will be good
from the very start of the year, and
will grow stronger as the year pro-
crosses.
"Real estate in New York is in fine
shape entering the new year. 1t is in
the soundest condition l have known
since 1907 1t may not be known gem
orally, but there is less mortgage on
Manhattan real estate to-day than
there was ten years ago. Thousands
OF mortgages have been reduced from
20 to 40 per cent during that time and
equities, of course, have been in
creased. Too much stress cannot be
placed on this point for the mortgages
were reduced during periods of depres-
sion. People got into the habit of pay
ing off mortgages.
81 think that the amortization plan
is splendid for both sides because it
forces periodic reductions, which avoid
the danger of the sudden call of the
loan at time when money is scarce.
"The old mortgage system did not
help mortgage conditions generally.
What Past Has Taught
81 do not think the city is over-built,
except possibly IN certain small sec
tions; neither do believe that the city
is as short of apartments as people
rave been led to think. We must pro-
vide buildings for an increased popula-
ton and an increased business.
We have depression now and then
for year or two that leads us to think
times will never improve, but in look
ing back over the history of the past
thirty years we see that after each
depression comes new wave of
progress that is greatly higher than
those we have had before.

belief that many structural improve

Harry Fischel blazed the way in
Broadway, between Herald and Times
squares, when he took the Hobart prop
erty, at Thirty seventh Street, and
erected big structure there for the
garment trade. The Hobarts did not
sell, but leased on terms which as
sured them a very fine income for many
years to come. Mr. Tischel's Judgment
has been upheld, for he has resold the
building and the leasehold on terms
that have fattened we'll his bank ac-

Avenues Opportunities
Seventh Avenue has come along like
prairie fer. The establishment of
the garment center there was one of
the big events in real estate history of
this city. 1t is compliment to the
civic pride of the men behind the prof
ect. for it was to save the Fifth Ave
nue. zone that they moved west. 1t is
the first time in the history of our
country that this thing has been done.
BY one stroke great industry was
moved and two districts were bettered
over night. Seventh Avenue holds
many opportunities for the builder,
speculator and the inventor. No one
can go wrong in buying on Seventh
Avenue. for values will have to move
very much higher before they will have
discounted the future growth of that
district.
Madison Avenue is the auxiliary of
Fifth Avenue. 1t is teeming with pos
sibilities. North of Forty second Street
the character of the development is
evident. l believe that the avenue
south of Forty-second Street to the
Murray Hill restricted section will at
tract the same character of business.
South of Thirty-fourth Street the silk
interests are firmly established. Twen-
ty-third Street is gaining new concerns
and value also. Store values in Four
teenth Street never were so high The
building of the subway ,mder Four
teenth Street connecting it with the
Eastern District of Brooklyn has placed
premium on street floor space there
for the business future of Fourteenth
Street is not in doubt.
l repeat that the treasure which we
are all seeking is buried in the central
district and it is waiting for builders,
operators and investors to come and
take it. l maintain that the surface
has hardly been scratched and that
fortunes made in the last decade in the
streets and avenues between Four
teenth and Fifty-ninth streets are only
small part of the hidden treasure. |

Greenpoint Shows
Promise of Boom
I'm Near Future
By Robert f. Patterson
President, Noah Clark, Inc.


Greenpoint as site for manufac-
turing and as an Industrial center is
being recognized by the keenest minds
in the country.
Nothing short of amazing has been
the determined drift to the northern
extremity Of Brooklyn, and so great
has been its growth within recent years
that experts say it now ranks as the
second largest industrial center in the
United States, taking into cons idera-
tion that it occupies only about two
square miles. United States govern
ment reports show that the volume of
business in Newtown Creek, one of it's
boundaries, exceeds that fthe great
Mississippi River.
The early opening of the State Barge
Canal terminal, on the Greenpoint side
of the East River, at the mouth of
Newtown Creek, means much to the
section.
There is no doubt that the increas-
ing demand for commercial space is
based to large extent on this pros
pect.
1t is generally agreed that with a
marginal railroad along the water front
to connect all shipping points Green
point would progress even beyond the
most optimistic anticipation.
Real estate interests are convinced
that there is urgent need for more
factories and lofts, and they base their
belief on the large number of INQUIRIES
along this line. Already it has a popu-
lation of 25O,0OO.
Those concerned in finding outlets
for their capital in either factories or
apartments could do no better than
watch closely the exceptional xppor-
tunity offered by Greenpoint.
