Garden Notes.
Last week mention was made Of the
plate Of pears and apples grown on
a single tree that was exhibited at the
Takoma Horticultural Club. There Is
mention in the Rural New Yorker
of September is on a tree at Fred
ricton, New Brunswick, which car
ries 123 varieties of apple and four
Of pears.
A suggestion for an antiseptic paint
for covering wounds after pruning
is raw unseed oil thickened with bor-
deaux dust. Both may be purchased
from local hardware dealers.
Home gardeners should be inter-
ested in the Fan-bearing red rasp-
berries which mature their berries at
this season. St. Regis or Ranere is
the variety most commonly listed in
catalogues. The berries are borne
only on the tips of new canes, which
fruit again the next Spring on the
section below the Fall-bearing tip.
Many of the choice varieties OF
lilac are budded on privet roots for

Activity Equal to That ot

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
September 29.-Arlington County is
experiencing building boom equal to
that in 1928, according to a record
of building permits which is kept in
the Office of the county manager.
This record shows that SO far this
month there have been 20 permits is
sued for new homes which are esti-
mated to cost $92,961. Remodeling
and additions to homes accounted for
l3 additional permits, with total costs
estimated at S5,575.
The recent annual report of the
commissioner of revenue showed ap-
proximately $1.O00,000 worth of new
homes constructed during the fiscal
year ended June 80, and the percent
age of construction has considerably
increased since the end of the last
fiscal year.
The trend in home building has
been toward dwellings of the smaller
type but designed to give them an ap-
pearance of luxury. Among these
there have been a number of Cape Cod
cottage architecture.
Since total construction costs are
running as high as during the time
when large homes were being built,
the report indicates the construction
of considerably more houses than dur
ing the boom.

Decline of $10,o 900, 600, 900
in Spending Power Traced
to Construction.
A decline of about $40, 900 100000 in

A decline of about $40 900 900 900 in
national spending power has resulted
from the falling off in construction,
according to studies reported by Ar
thur G. Holden, chairman Of the
Committee on Public Information Of
the New York Chapter of the Amer
ican Institute of Architects.
The difficulty Is essentially a credit
problem, according to Holden, who
asserts that "the situation calls for
analytical thinking and planning SO
that an end may be put to the vicious
stalemate which is producing social
and industrial stagnation." Re-em-
ployment In construction industry. he
declared, is of first importance in re-
ducing the relief costs of New York
City.
Worse in New York City.
"Between 1928 and 1898, the spend
ing power of those dependent upon
private construction alone declined
by $4,000 .0oo, ,000," his report points
out. Add to this the decline of So
900 100000 in construction connected
with transportation and utilities in the
shorter period from 1880 to 1888, and
the decline in Federal, State and local
construction OF $4,000, 100000, and
there is evident total decline OF
about $4,000, 100000 in primary
spending power, due solely to the
Stacking off of construction throughout
the United States.
In New York City. the situation is
proportionatly graver. In the year
1926, over a tenth Of the total con-
struction contracts let in the United
States were for work in New York
City. This is not strange, since New
York was serving as the chief outlet
of the products of the Nations indus
try. From 81 .125 900 900 in contracts
let in New York in 1926, the total
dropped to less than 100000, 900 in
1888.
Relief Cost Is Cited.
1.-THE record Of construction volume
for the city reveals that the great bulk
of work has been private construc-
ton. Well over half of this has con-
sistently been residential construction.
Figures showing employment in con-
struction in New York emphasize the
importance of immediate re-employ-
ment in the industry as means OF
reducing the mounting expense of the
emergency relief pay roll.
From $17000,000 to $40 100000
monthly is being spent in the city for
relief. This is at the rate of 5000, ,000,-
900 per annum, with taxation the sole
means for liquidating the expenditure.
| If the city borrows to meet relief ex-
penses, the refund ultimately must be
made out of taxes, and delay only
adds to cost by piling up interest
charges.
1T is shown that the construction
industry was paying out in wages
alone about O,0O0 900 to $40, 100000
monthly between 1924 and 1881. Con-
struction wages alone averaged S40O,-
900 900 a year, or over twice the
amount of present relief rolls"

because the privet leaves are easily
distinguished from lilac. Hence plants
which fail to grow from the implanted

Many rock garden plants grow so
rapidly that it is necessary to sep

the plants from virtually smothering
themselves. This is especially true

One home gardener who brings q
little Of his scientific knowledge into
his horticultural enterprise, states
that he has had splendid success with
perennial phlox simply by busting the
plants with Massey sulphur -arsenate
of lead dust whenever he duSts his
roses for black spot. There are three
different foliage diseases of phlox-
mildew. septoria spot and leaf blight.
As a result, with moisture at all
abundant during warm weather. the
plants lose their lower leaves and be-
come badly weakened and unable to
carry strong flower clusters. This
particular home gardener states that
phlox is by far the most satisfactory

young seedlings may be budded in a

supply the buds and raffia. With
two cuts the worker makes a T in

and quickly inserts bud so cut from

increased rapidly in the Washington
area in recent years since the park
system has begun to use this species
so freely as plant material for the
circles and roadsides. The small size
of the plants and their adaptability
to pruning makes them very useful
landscape material. The pink tubu-
lar flowers appearing in great pro-
fusion from June to November are
relatively inconspicuous but, set
among the reddish foliage, make alto
gether an attractive combination.
According to Dr. Baileys Encyclo-
pedia of Horticulture, the abelia is
a native of East and Central Asia,
with two species occurring in Mexico.
He states that the plant may be in
creased by hardwood cuttings taken
in late Autumn or by soft wood cut
tings taken in Summer. The abelia
is not fully hardy much farther north
than Washington. Together with
crepe myrtle and buddleia and a few
other species that reach their north
ern limits in this vicinity, the abelia
helps to give local color to Washing
ton horticulture.

Budding.

OF all the peculiar phenomena of
plant life, none is more interesting
than the capacity of tissues from
different plants to unite and con-
tinue growth as single individual.
Were it not possible to make this
transfer of tissues. all our fruit trees
would be seedlings and there would
be no such thing as Bartlett pears,
Winesap apples and Elberta peaches.
The original tree of these varieties
has long since perished, but a part
of each still lives in the budded or
grated trees of our orchards and
gardens. Most of the budding is

Mems Association today launched
a renewed battle for an appro-

Although the necessary funds
for improvement in the Southeast
section were promised by the re-

appropriation is not included in
the 1885 budget. The association
met last night and formulated

MILK
OFFERED POOR

A definite offer of 1900 gallons
of milk a day to be processed and
distributed to relief families was
made to Elwood Seal, Assistant
Corporation Counsel, today by Ed
ward L. Koepenik, treasurer of the
Embassy Dairy. This offer, said
Mr.. Seal, is the first definite pro
posal toward using surplus milk
for relief purposes at a price lower
than the market.
Mr.. Koepenik told Mr.. Seal that
his surplus milk fluctuated in
amount, but that 1900 gallons a
day could be counted on at the
present time. and that if the Com
missioners' plan for milk distribu-
ton is adopted he will be glad to
process" as high as 10000 gal
Ions of milk a day for relief fam
lilies.
Mr.. Seal said today he intended
to find out exactly how much sur
plus each large dairy company has
on hand daily and how much of
this surplus each will be willing
to turn into a milk pool for relief
purposes.

IN PENAL
HOUSES HERE

There were 4,3O7 prisoners COM

District of Columbia from January

OF the total, 1868 were men
and 345 women, the ratios per

old being: Men, 2,135.8; women,
