Public Buildings Falling Down

The government at Washington is
ings. There are not enough regular or
permanent buildings to house the
working force, and much Of the work
of the nation is being done in the
temporary buildings which are so ex-
ceedingly temporary that they are fall
ing down or would fall down if repair
work were not constantly going on.
This repair work interrupts the ma
tion's business and is costly in more
than one way. 1t seems that only by
steady tinkering can the temporary
buildings be kept on their feet or their
legs or their slender supports. In a.
news story in The Star it was said:
The trouble with these temporary
buildings is that they were built with
out foundations. and on piles, and
such construction must be renewed
about every three years. 1t is being
urged by the Public Buildings Com
mission that it is very poor economy
to spend thousands Of dollars a year
for putting in new underpinning when
in three or four years the building
would be unsafe for government
work.
Just now it is likely that more than
5000 government employees working
on income taxes will be forced to quit
work in large groups for five or six
months while the temporary building
which houses them is having its un.
derpinning renewed. If there is to be
less government in business and more
business in governmentra good start
can be made in providing adequate
quarters for the government in Wash
ington. Various departments are call
ing for help and have been doing so for
years. There are overcrowded rooms
and crowded cnrridnrs and h,,raauS.

1t is estimated that from 10000 to
10000 negroes have migrated from
each southern state 10 the north
within the last year. The reason
generally assigned is that they are
attracted by the high wages and bet

The exodus has become a serious
problem in some southern localities,
as it shortens the labor supply both
on the farms and in the industries

taken up the matter with Secretary

BUILDING UP CHICKEN FLOCK
Special Matlngs Is Most Economical
Way of Increasing Production
and Good Quality.

The quickest and most economical
way to build up flock Of chickens
for higher production and standard
qualities Is by special matlngs. A
large per cent Of the record flock keep
ers of the state are said to be special
mating this year and several have an
nounced their intention of having from
four to six such matings. Some Of
these already have been made, but for
the benefit Of those who still have the
Job of picking out their breeders, the
following hints are given:
Select strong, healthy birds Of high
egg production.
Pay attention to standard color and
shape.
Give hens which have gone through
a season of heavy egg production the
preference.
The male should be superior to the
female, If possible.
A great many poultry breeders have
an exaggerated idea of the necessity
of new blood. 1t Is a very poor and
dangerous breeding practice to get in
new blood just for the idea Of getting
In unrelated stock. New blood should
be introduced II It has the ability to

be permitted to become so thick that
they prevent proper ventilation and

very destructive to paint and the
shade of vines helps to preserve 1t.
There are several devices Cor grow

necessary to paint the house. A trellis
can be made with hinges near the
ground, or a chicken wire placed over

may be taken down, vines and all.

CROWDED GARDEN
IS GREAT FAULT.
Plants Are Small When First Ap-
pearing Above Ground and
Are Poorly Spaced.
FOLLOW PACKET DIRECTIONS
Yield Of Many Vegetables VIII Be
In Proportion to Chance They
Have to Develop-Transplant
Whom Leaves Touch.

Overcrowding, perhaps, is the great
est fault of the average gardener. Be
cause the plants are small when they
first appeared above ground, he will
not space them properly, because they
look lones jme with an expanse OF bare
soil between them. However, they
VIII grow fast, and at maturity will
use all the space allowed them, and
usually are growing into and over each
ether.
Follow Directions.
This ranlt should be corrected when
the transplantlng is done, or II the
seeds are sown in the open ground, by
judicfous thinning. Follow directions,
which are always contained in seed
packets as to proper distances, to the
letter. Work with tape measure or
yardstlck. The crop of many vege-
tablea will be in proportion to the
chance they have to develop. The
bush lima bean Is an excellent object
lesson Many gardeners have given
up the bush lima as not being produc-
tive enough to justify its space. But
give the individual bushes IL inches
apart, so they will have a chance, and
there will be a bountiful crop with
ordinarily good soil and moisture con-
ditions.
The rule to follow In transplantlng
seedlings is to move them as soon as
the leaves touch. The first transplant
