CWEET POTATOES are pOtash-l loving
~ crop. They need plenty of potash in
fertilizer to produce big yields of the
chunky No. rs that bring the best
prices. This was proven by nine years of
continuous experiments conducted by
the Virginia Truck Experiment Station.
In these experiments Is different
combinations of nitrogen, phOsphOric
acid and potash were compared. AS the
potash in the fertilizer was increased
an increased average yield of prime
sweet potatoes resulted: 3% potash fer
tilizer yielded 21O bushels per acre,
6% potash yielded 242 bushels, 9%-
253 bushels, 12%-276 bushels and 15%
potash yielded 2S9 bushels.
Your fertilizer man recognizes the
Importance of furnishing you with a
hieh-potash mixture for sweet potatoes.
That is why he recommends the use of
1910 fertilizer for the crop. Remem-
Der, potash is the quality producing
element in fertilizer.
3-S-IO produces better yields of No.
sweets of the uniform size that the
market prefers. Use 1910 fertilizer for
your sweet potato crop in 1884.

ucts marketed and s6o,00O,000 IN

reau of Agricultural Economics esti-
mates in the first Of new series Of
monthly reports on cash income from
farm products. The total cash in
come in January 1884 was Al per
cent greater than In January 1888.
The income from products mar
keted in January, not including bene-
fit payments, was 4 per cent higher
than in December 1888 and % per
cent higher than in January year
ago. The principal increases in in
come in January over December were
in the income from fruits and vege-
tables and meat animals, which more
than offset the decreases in income
from cotton and cottonseed, dairy
products, poultry and eggs.
The estimates of cash income will

favorable showing for the full year
ending January l, 1884, indicates sub
stantial improvement in many cases
during the last half of the year. Sew
eral reports show that assets have
been increased or maintained sub
stantially at last years level by the
employment of Federal Home Loan
Bank funds in new loans to home
owners, thus increasing the asset
item, mortgage loans and, of course,
contributing to needed credit expan-
sion.
Seen as Barometer.
"These 1874 associations from which
we have January l reports constitute
S1,423, ,382,274 of the total building
and loan assets. approximately 18 per
cent of the estimated total for all
building and loan associations in the
country. Their records may thus be
taken as trustworthy indicators Of
general conditions in these thrift and
home financing institutions and the
fact that IL per cent of them ap-
parently came to the turning point
upward during the past year is an
other witness to the fundamental
soundnesS OF these institutions. Con-
ditions in 1888 were not altogether
conducive to improvement in their
balance sheets Moratorium legisla-
ton, wide misunderstanding of the
purposes of the Home Owners Loan
Corporation and the continued need
of hundreds of thousands of savers to
houidate their building and loan saw
ings because of extended unemploy-
ment were ali elements tending to
keep the associations from immedi-
ately benefiting, although there was
q net gain in general business actiV-
ity in 1888.
cit is therefore pleasing surprise
to find in at least 10 States concrete
evidence that some of the building
and loan associations are showing
definite gains in assets. These States
represent the New England section,
the Pacific Coast, the Southwest,
Southeast and Middle West, so that
the improvement does not seem to be
dependent upon the peculiar condi-
tions in any one or two sections of
the country"

NEW MACHINE OPENS WAY
FOR UNDERGROUND BUILDING

will open a new field in construction,
since 1t will be safe to build under
ground halls larger than any now
existing.
With the present tendency to-
ward conditioned air and artificial
lighting in place Of daylight. there
will be little objection to buildings
under ground" says Prof. Bucky's
report. The temperature below
ground is almost constant at 81 de-
grees Fahrenheit.
In certain localities, much larger
openings are possible underground
than above, so that with the safety
of such buildings absolutely proven
by tests on miniature prototypes. an
era of underground amusement halls.
and possibly even Office buildings, may
soon be under way. Especially in
locations where strong rocks are
plentiful, as in New York City, are
these underground buildings advan-
tageous."
Evening star., 1934-03-17

Underground buildings "of unpre-
cedented size" may be constructed
with safety by the use of a machine
designed by Prof. Philip B. Bucky of
Columbia University.
In a progress report of an investi-
CATION carried on for the Engineering
foundation, research organization of
the national engineering societies. at
the Columbia School Of Engineering,
Prof. Bucky says that this machine,
known as a ''centrifuge" and in
tended primarily for safety work in
mines. substitutes centrifugal force
for gravity in testing materials.
A model, built of the same materials
as the structure to be tested, is placed
on the centrifuge and whirled at such
speed that centrifugal force tends to
pull the model to pieces with the
same relative energy that gravity
would exert to pull down a larger
building.
Prof. Bucky predicts that the device

you ever realized that each flower
contains a perfect scheme?
Color is merely a form Of vibra-
ton of light carried to the senses.
Different colors have different speed
vibrations. For example, red has
the greatest speed, $500 vibrations
faster than white light. Violet has
the slowest vibration, which is 1,50O
vibrations slower than white light.
The remaining colors are arranged
on a scale between these two.
If you see one red hat in a crowd
of 100 hats that are brown and black,
the first one that you see is the
red because it is faster and brighter
color.
Red should be used for accents,
that is, just dash for large space,
such as the collar on dress. It
must be used with discretion. 1t has
an exciting effect and used in large
quantities is apt to irritate a ner-
vous person. Violet has just the op-
posite effect.
