DIRECTIONS GIVEN
TO REPOT CUTTINGS
Mixture of Half Sand and Half
Garden Soil, Flower Pets and
I Dibber Required.
BY ELLEN EDDY SHAW.

It is time now to repot some cut
tingS which have been in sand in a pot.
Materials needed are sand and SOL,
dcwer pots and dibber.
In order to know when a cutting is
ready, you will remember that you were
told to take hold Of one Of the terminal
leaves Of the cutting and tweak it, Just
rs If you were pulling some ones ear.
II there is resistance to this tweak you
will know that roots have started. With
a pot label, or dibber, take out your
cutting and you will note from the two
nodes just beneath the surface Of the
soil that roots have started.
II they have not started, put the cut
tings in a warmer place than they have
been in 1t takes a little extra heat to
force out roots. You will note that some
of the cuttings, especially the coleus,
have some nice shaggy roots on them,
Make a mixture of one-haf sand and
one-haf garden soil to repot cuttings,
Why this. mixture? Because cuttings
Shave already been started in sand, In
(which there is practically no food. II
Us impossible for young cutting Just
really in its baby stage to be given al
cnce strong food, such as soil has In 1t
You will remember that plant food Is
dissolved in water and plants must take
in liquid food, therefore the watering OF
plants is largely for the dissolving OF
food elements, In order that the root
hairs may soak up the food in this
form. So we have a mixture Of hall
garden soil and half sand in which tc
pot our cuttings.
After cuttings have grown q while, we
transfer them q second time, putting
them finally into a good garden soil.
There are one or two things to note
IN the taking up Of cuttings from the
sand and potting them up. First, fl
xhe pot up to one-half inch of the top
aeveling the surface of, and then make
q hole. Into this hole the cutting is tc
be placed. But you say, How deer
shall 1 put it?" Put 1t as low as pos
Bible-that is, up to or as near as pos
sible to its lowest leaves. But agair
some of you may say, Why do we bury
all that stem?" The answer is: Tht
more stem that is put beneath soil, tht
more roots we shall have. 1t is much X
the advantage of every young plant II
have as much stem as possible below
soil.

BUILDING METHODS
UNDERGO CHANGE
Decreased Rate of Popula-
ton Growth Forces Sounder
Economic Plan.

A sound economic plan for the build
ing industry to replace the haphazard
methods of the frontier trading post and
the mining camp by which cities and
towns of America have been built here
tofore Is forecast as a coming necessity
for the building industry by Thomas
S. Holden, vice president, F. w. Dodge
Corporation, in the Architectural
Record. Decreased population growth
rate is the force that brings about this
necessity, according to the article.
Stressing that the principal reason
for the slow comeback Of residential
building is the Stacking Of population
growth, Mr.. Holden estimates that at
least 35 percent of the s70,000,00O, 900
construction program Of the past decade
was for the benefit of new population.
Population experts estimate that in
stead Of 100000 population increase
as in 1920-1930, the current decade
will show an increase of only 5000 900
persons, a decline which began In 1924.
Ten Year Program.
II construction of all kinds for new
population in the current decade Is to
be reduced in proportion to the estt-
mated reduction in numbers OF new
people to be added to the population,
and If construction is undertaken for
existing population in exactly the same
amount as previously, Mr.. Holden esti-
mates that the total program for the
ten-year period 1930-l939 would be

that these figures are not to be con-
strued as forecasts of what will actually
happen, but as measures Of a handicap
set to the construction program of this

nomic changes that has taken place"

GOOD DESIGN VALUE
GREATLY ADVANCED
Robert D. Kohn, Head Of Institute
of Architects, Discusses
Subject in Message.

During the past 20 years there has
been a great advance in public ap-
probation of the value of good de-
sign, in so far as ordinary building are
concerned, even the most commercial
ones, it is declared by Robert D. Kohn
of New York, president Of the Amer
lean Institute Of Architects.
In q message to the Washington
Building Trades Employers Association
read at its banquet this week, held In
honor Of E. H. Rosengarten, retiring
president, Mr.. Kohn asserted also that
without doubt there has been very
marked progress made, not only In the
quality Of design of public buildings
but In the design of almost every other
kind OF structure.
There has been a great develop
ment In new materials and methods OF
construction and even greater progress
In making the exterior design of build
ings give expression to these methods
and at the same time arrange them
harmoniously so as to bring in those
elements of beauty without which no
building is permanently satisfactory,
he wrote.
Credit for this advance, he said
should be attributed to the contractor
subcontractor and the builder as well
as the architect.
To further advance the beauty and
efficiency of modern construction, he
urged closer cooperation and better
understanding among all elements OF
the building industry, including the
architect, builder, contractor and SUBJ
contractor.

 RED CROSS FLOUR TO
 NEEDY QF WESTWARD

The U. s. Coast Guard cutter Tallapoosa, which arrived in port Saturday for the purpose of taking aboard fuel and 500 sacks of Red Cross flour, departed for the West ward late Saturday to distribute the flour among the needy thru out that district. Flour will be dis tributed at Kodiak, Karluk, Sand Point, Unga, Belkofsky, Unalaska, Kanatak and SquaW Harbor.
 After the flour has been distri- buted, the Tallapoosa will go on patrol duty and will escort the northward migrating seal herd through Unimak Pass to the Der ing Sea rookeries, and expects tC return to her home base at Jul neau by May q.
 The Tallapoosa only recently wis tied the Westward, having beer called to go to that area and search for the MS Eunice, missing fol many days. The motorShip turned up safe, however, with a tail shaft broken nd her steering geal jammed. The Tallapoosa lowed the Eunice and her party to Unalaska

LUCAS WILL STUDY AND SURVEY MOOSE
 HERDS RENAL AREA

An investigation of moose herds on Kenai Peninsula will be made by the Alaska Game Commission. The purpose of the study is to gather all possible information about the food habits of the anl- mals and the causes for the hlgh rate of mortality among the calves.
 Henry Lucas, registered Alaska guide, who is thoroughly familiar with the country, has been em- ployed to carry on the work for the commission. He is expected to spend two or three months in the field under the direction of Com missioner Andy Simons. MT. Lucas left Seward Saturday.
 The Kenai Peninsula herds are said to be the biggest concentra- tiOn to moose in the entire world. Estimates on the number in the district vary from $500 to 10000. The Game Commission believes the lower figure is nearer correct.
 For several years, the commission and spoTtSmen acquainted with the district, have been puzzled to ac- count for an apparent high death rate among the calves. The num- Der that survived to the yearling stage was regarded as much toe small, and no known natural causes were found that would account fol high death "a te among the calves.
 For the past two or three years the commission has wanted tC make a close study of the field, but was unable to obtain sufficient funds. A short time ago, inter ested conservationists in the States made a contribution for that pur- pose, enabling it to go ahead with out further delay.
