Textile Strike Fails
 To Affect Waterbury
All Employees of Local Plant Reported for Work To-
 day-Watertown Co Files Similar Statement

Waterbury and surrounding towns were today unaffected by the textile strike situation, with work going on as usual in all plants connected in any way with the tex. tile industry and with issatisfac- ton beiny voiced in any case.
 The I. Dibner dress manufacture ing. company on West Clay street had all hands at work as usual and reported that the nationwide tex tile strike had not affected its pro- ductlon In any way.
 The Watertown Undergarnent company had its 330 employees at work as usual and does not antici- pate any difficulties from its work CTS.
 There are no actual textile manufacturing plants in this part of the state, though a number or firms are connected with allied trades while others rely on textile companies for materials.

Informed that Secretary Ickes
looks with favor on the applica-
ton for 100000 for the widen
ing of F Street Northwest, be-
tween Seventh and Ninth, the
National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission today started
making plans for the removal of
steps on the F Street side of the
old Patent office.
Three plans for the widening
OF the street were put forward,
one calling for removal of a
quarter of the steps at a cost
Of $4,000.
This would result, however, in
only widening the street from
ga to Is feet, resulting in an
unbalanced thoroughfare.
Two Other Plans
A second plan called for re-
moval Of half of the steps, at a
cost Of around $4,000, while the
third called for removal of the
entire steps at cost of 500, 900,
giving a 32-foot roadway on each
side Of the street car tracks.
Informed of Secretary IckeS'
stand, members of the commits
sion said they will "insist" on this
plan being adopted.
The commission gave tentative
approval to traffic recommends
tons recently made to the PUG,
by Harland Bartholomew.
Proposals that the Washington
channel be deepened to 24-feet
were also approved, as were recon-
mendationS that the harbor regu-
1ations be brought up to date and
rig1dly enforced.
Problem Up To Cammerer
The whole problem of widening
F Street is now before Arno B.
Cammerer, director of National
Parks. He will attempt first to OBJ
tain funds for revamping the
facade Of the old Patent Office
Building.
Here again Mr.. Cammerer faces
another difficulty, namely, the OBJ
lection OF the Fine Arts Commits
sion. Legally, of course, Mr.. Cam.
merer could override this objection,
since in matter of this kind the
Fine Arts Commission yields no
official power but merely acts in
an advisory capacity.
Funds Now Available
1t developed today, however, ac-
cordlng to a spokesman for Mr..
1ckes, that there are sufficient
funds to care for a project like the
widening of F Street. At his press
conference yesterday Mr.. Ickes
stated he had received the appli-
cation for the money and the ap-

such a service with fewer than
three ships.
The successful operation of these
four liners between New York and
Europe made it clear during the
last five years that any major
steamship company had to have
big, fast liners of this type to
maintain prestige, regardless Of
the fact that the most propitious
operation would still fail to keep
them on the profit side of the
ledger.
The superliner in recent times
has come to be regarded more and
more as a matter of prestige

The almost universal practice OF
applying calcium sulphate or the
so-called gypsum Or landPlaster to
peanut foliage is not always justi-
fled.
This is the opinion of DR.. H. B.
Mann, fertility agronomist for the
North Carolina Experiment Station,
who says, "On soils that have not
been receatly lined and are low in
calcium, the use of gypsum on the
foliage at blooming time, or of lime
before planting, is necessary before
a satisfactory crop of peanuts can
be produced.
However. on soils that have
been heavily lined, high yields of
good quality peanuts can be secured
without the use of either lime or
gypsum
DR.. Mann supports his opinion
with the results of an experiment
conducted on two sandy loan soils
of the same series. In one test, the

soil had never been lined and was
acid. The other soil had been heavi-
'ly lined and was nearly neutral.
On the first or acid soil, without
any treatment, the yield of peanuts
was $40 pounds to the acre with a
Smelling percentage of Al percent.
Most of the nuts were either pops
or had shriveled kernels. The sec
ond soil, which was neutral. with
out any further lime or gypsum
treatment, produced 1904 pounds
of peanuts per acre with a Smelling
percentage of Is percent. There
were few pops Or shriveled kernels
in the lot.
When 400 pounds of gypsum per
acre was applied to the peanut foil
age on the first or acid soil, the
yield went up to 500 pounds of pea
nuts per acre with a Smelling per-
centage of IS percent. The same
amount of gypsum applied to the
second or neutral soil did not in
crease either the yield or the she'll
ing percentage.
