HALF OF HOMES
ON FARMS SOUND
Agricultural Engineer Be-
lieves Only Minor Re-
pairs Are Needed.

At least one-half Of the six and a
quarter million farm houses in the
country are believed to be struc-
turslly sound, except for minor re-
pairs, and about one house in six
probably should be replaced, Wallace
Ashby OF the United States Bureau
of Agricultural Engineering told mem
bers of the North Atlantic section
of the American Society of Agricul-
tural Engineers, at Amherst, Mass,
Wednesday. The sound structures
can be improved greatly by intelligent
remodeling and installation Of mod
ern equipment, he said.
Suggests Cheaper Methods.
Ashby believes that, in addition to
the usual materials, the newer prod
ucts, such as plywood, asbestos ce-
ment products and metal sheets, as
well as new forms of insulation.
roofing and flooring materials, should
be considered In a search for cheaper
methods Of constructing farm build
ings.
He also pointed out the possibility
of farmers in community organizing
their building program to reduce con-
struction costs. Under such a system
local builders could arrange for pur-
chase of materials in larger quantities
and over longer periods of time and
could. no doubt, afford to provide
themselves with labor-saving equip
ment.
New Arrangement Necessary.
With the changes in location of
roads and in surfacings and with the
shift from horSe-drawn to motor
traffic. new principles Of farm ar
rangement enter the farm picture,
Ashby pointed out. Many farm
steads, which were ideally located and
planned when the buildings were
erected, could be improved by re-
arrangement as new buildings are
erected. and, in some instances, the
old farmstead might profitably be
abandoned in favor of a new location.

tubers and woody plants, such as the
lilac, by treatment with various gases
and in some species by immersion in
warm water.
The subject has little direct interest
to the home gardener, although funda-
mentally the rest period is very closely
tied up with successful gardening in
Northern latitudes.
The Garden Clubs.
THE Takoma Horticultural Club has
just completed the distribution of
its order of Holland-grown bulbs, thus
insuring its members beautiful Spring
displays. The orders are placed just
after the narcissus and tulip shows in
Spring, while varieties are fresh in
the members minds, with <the net
result that there Is q constant in
crease in the newer and more choice
varieties. The tulip is one flower
that thrives under the shade of big
trees. which fact makes them es-
peciaIly welcome in Takoma gardens.

NEW SUBDIVISION
Greenwich Forest Project
Will Be Pushed on
Large Scale.

II was announced today that Charles
H. Hillegeist, well-known Washington
realtor. has been appointed president
Of Greenwich Forest Inc. and that
development of the wooded tract on
Wilson lane, beyond Bethesda, Md.
would be started Immediately on a
large scale.
Mr.. Hillegeist recently formed the
real estate firm of C. H. Hillegeist Co.
after serving for years as vice presi-
firm. In his latest capacity he will
have charge of the development OF
the exclusive residential community,
comprising approximately ITO acres,
known as Greenwich Forest.
Cafritz Backs Project.
It was stated that the financial
backing of Morris Cafritz, president of
the Cafritz Construction Co., will be
given the project. Water. sewers. gas
and electricity have been installed.
The approach to Greenwich Forest
Is by Wilson lane at Hampden lane.
The development has been planned to
give lots for each house a minimum
width of rs feet, and it is now the
intention of the owners to permit no
house to be constructed on a lot less
than 100 feet in width. Provision has
been made to give each dwelling a
private driveway with a built-in, at
tached garage with minimum capac-
ity of two cars.
Trees Are Protected.
Landscaping has been done by ]. H.
Small and Sons with great care taken
to protect the many trees on the prop
erty. Houses which have been erected
are set back a. least so feet from the
street.
The development lies within easy
access Of elementary, junior and senior
high schools of Montgomery County,
and is conveniently located in regard
to churches, stores and fire and police
protection. 1t may be reached by driv-
ing out Wisconsin avenue to the Old
Georgetown road and turning left two
blocks to Wilson lane.

A THOUGH dahlias frequently
~ live over the Winter in the
~ soil-there being one plant in
4 4 mind which has survived 10
consecutive seasons out of
doors-this is not safe procedure.
Neither is it good horticulture, be-
cause there is no opportunity for re-
working and fertilizing the soil
Furthermore, the dahlia is propa- =
gated by dividing the root stock, and
this obviously neceSSitates the lifting
Of the roots from the soil
Dahlia roots have much the same
storage requirements as the white
potato-that is, low temperature
with high relative humidity. An out
side storage cellar that can be pro-
tected from freezing would be ideal
but is, of course, not usually available
to the home gardener Hence there
have been developed certain simple
practices that assist materially in
keeping roots in the house cellar
where excessive drying is the most
serious problem. Dipping the roots
in melted paraffin has been found
very helpful and storage in slightly
dampened peat moss has also greatly
aided in keeping. If there is cool
room in the basement, this should be
used as storage.
A few expert dahlia growers cut
their roots apart in Autumn, but this
is a difficult operation for the average
gardener because the eyes or buds
are on the base of the old stalk. A
fleshy tuber without a portion of the
old stem attached is therefore of no
value in propagation. In the Spring
these buds expand and are easily
seen. Plants which have not grown
vigorously should not be saved for
next year, as there is strong chance
that such are diseased.
Soil Preparation.
WHERE the home garden lies on
w the level or nearly so, thus leav-
ing little hazard of erosion, it pays to
spade the soil in late Autumn with
out breaking the Jumps. Left in this
rough condition the soil freezes and
thaws frequently and in Spring is in
mellow condition for early preparation.
II cover crops, such as Winter rye
or crimson clover. are growing on the
soil, spading should be deferred until
Spring so as to gain the benefit of the
increased vegetation developed in early
Spring.
Autumn is the best season for linn
ing the garden, particularly so if one
uses the hydrated lime generally Of
fered for sale for this purpose. Applied
at the rate of one pound to each 20
square feet of garden surface, one linn
ing treatment should suffice for two
or three years. Fall application per-
mits whatever caustic properties that
may still be in the lime to be dissi-
pated during the Winter. There is
danger in overliming, but not so great
as in not lining at all, since much of
the soil in this vicinity is too acid
for many vegetables and flowers. Ger
tain lilies, rhododendrons, aZaleas,
blueberries and heaths do not tolerate
any lime and it is a mistake to apply
lime near these plants or to soil where
they may be grown in the future.
There is no object in applying fer

emulation of plant refuse that could
have been burned or buried.
Rose Protection.
7 Asst Winter killed q great many
rose plants in this vicinity. some
Of which at least might have been
saved with little forethought. Last
week something was said of the de-
STABILITY of mounding bush roses with
soil to a depth of or more inches.
With climbers this does little good be-
yond possibly helping to save the plant
from complete killing. 1t Is possible
to wrap the canes Of tender climbers,
UGH as Emily Gray. Jacotte and Gar
denia, with straw, tying it in place
with twine. However, this is tedious
operation and would not be practical
except to save a few valuable plants.
1t seems more likely that rose growers
will have to turn to the harder va
rieties. Winter killing of DR.. w. Van
Fleet, Paul's Scarlet Climber and
other usually sturdy varieties may not
occur again in the present home gar
dener's lifetime.
In the Far North 1t is common TO
take the canes off the trellis and lay
them on the ground for covering with
straw and soil. This is. however. q
practice for regions where these roses
cannot be grown otherwise. and not
for Washington and vicinity where
killing of the sturdier garden roses Is
a real phenomenon.
Rest Periods.
OF THE wise provisions OF Nature.
~ none Is more important than that
of dormancy in seeds and plants. In
most Northern and in many Southern
plants there are periods Of varying
length, according to the species, when
the plant will not resume active
growth no matter how ideal are the
growing conditions. Were it not fol
this peculiar condition many Of our
plants would break into growth during
warm days of Midwinter and be killed
with the inevitable return Of bitter
weather.
In the green house, however. this
rest period often becomes serious
Evening star., 1934-10-20
Insulation Saves Money.

Modernizing heating pipe and hot
water tank insulation means saving
on the overhead. 1t cuts down on the
fuel bills by conserving heat. Un-
covered heating lines and hot-water
pipes, or even just the uncovered
joints, mean a loss in money to the
owner. 1t is real economy to inspect
hot-water and steam pipes regularly
and see that they are well insulated.

tilizers in the Fall except to beds of
narciSsus, tulips and other Spring
bulbs which grow very early and more
or less through the Winter. Nitrogen
fertilizers, such as nitrate of soda and
sulphate Of ammonia. leach rapidly
into the lower soils and are more or
less wasted when applied in Autumn.
Autumn CoIors.
A JOURNEY through the neighbor-
a ing counties during the last few
days affords a revelation of beauty
that compensates for the coming Win
ter. Magnificent colors in the dog
woods, gums and oaks make a garden
of the whole landscape. The beauty
of the expanding foliage and flowers
in Spring is closely rivaled by the
Autumnal foliage, The question as
to the origin of these superb colors
has received the consideration of some
eminent plant PSYCHOLOGISTS, including
DR.. A. B. Stout Of the New York Bo-
tanical Gardens. Further north it
has been generally accepted that frost
is a factor In color formation, but
this is certainly not true in this area,
where the colors often arrive before
the frost. 1t is believed that the color
pigments may be in the leaves only to
show up when maturity has removed
the green chlorophyll. The capacity
for coloring varies with species, reach
ing maximum in the gums and hard
naples.
The Angels Trumpet.
or THE numerous subtropical plants
~ grown by local gardeners, none is
more interesting than the angels
trumpet, so designated because of the
long white, snowy flowers, sometimes
nearly foot in length. Year after
year Winn T. Simmons delights visi-
tors at the Takoma Horticultural Club
Dahlia Show with q display of this
magnificent flower. The plant is so
tender that it is necessary to lift It
in late Autumn and place it in tub
of soil in the warm basement. A
member of the Solanum family. which
includes the tomato, petunia, egg
plant and white potato, the angels
trumpet surpasses them all in size
and beauty of the flowers and is Ger
tainly worthwhile material for the
home gardener who enjoys growing
unusual plants. 1t would be interest
ing to have an inventory of the odd
species Of plants grown by local
gardeners.
Clean-Up Time.
4 FTER the killing frost, the garden
becomes a dreary looking object
and the sooner the dead plants are re-
moved and the stakes pulled and
stored for another year, the better. not
only from an aesthetic. but a practical
standpoint. In many of the plants
there live the spores Of various leaf
spots and other diseases. If the plants
are permitted to shed their old leaves,
these often become a source of trouble
for next year. If, on the other hand,
the plants are gathered into heap or,
better yet, buried in a pit, the leaves
rot quickly and many Of the spores are
destroyed.
Many home gardeners find it in
creasingly difficult to grow certain
flowers as the years pass. Much OF
the trouble may be traced to an ac-
