HOME FINANCING
IN ENGLAND IS HIT
Modifying Clauses Are Held
"Jokers" in Long-Term
Mortgages.

English home financing plans often
contain jokers which would not be
tolerated in this country, according to
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator.
Examining additional reports on the
English housing program made by DR..
Ernest M. Fisher, head of the Division
of Economics and Statistics, and
Richard U. Ratcliff. his associate, who
made a recent 60-day survey in Eng
land, Mcdonald said:
when you look for a long-term
mortgage in England it's hard to find.
So-called long-term mortgages at pre-
sumably fixed interest rates have mod
flying clauses which are a joker on
the borrower.
"One of the most common jokers Is
that these so-called long-term mort
cages are callable at six months
notice by the lender in case interest
rates rise.
Interest Rate FIuctuates.
'"The second form which the joker
takes is that the interest rate is not
fixed at all but f1uctuateS in accord
ance with interest rates charged by
the Bank of England.
Finally, another form which this
Joker commonly takes is that the
interest rate described In the mortgage
instrument is one rate, while gen.
tleman'S agreement is entered into
with the borrower to charge him a
i,,tn To ho hof ad
in the mortgage.
THE insured mortgage of the Fed
eral Housing Administration. on the
other hand, bears an established rate
of interest not to exceed per cent
plus one-half of per cent for in
surance and one-half of l per cent
for service charge. This is fixed and
the mortgage, which may extend for
as long as 20 years.
Ten Years Behind U. S.
England is 10 years behind the
United States in its housing program.
Many factors Influenced the delay
of home building in England, includ-
ing the war, the rent restrictions act
and a serious shortage of skilled
building mechanics Immediately after
the war. In addition, building costs
advanced from 800 to 400 per cent.
1t was only after the government
stepped in with subsidies that the home
building industry revived.
What is happening today in Eng
land happened in the United States
in the 20s. At that time we had a
building boom, followed by a crash,
which taught us some lessons England
has yet to learn. 1t is pretty well
agreed that the decline in English
building already has set in and it
may be that England is facing a
situation similar to that which the
United States encountered in 1929-30.
"The passage Of our own national
housing act, the creation of the Fed
eral Housing Administration and the
introduction of such important pro-
tective devices as the long-term, in
sured mortgage, with its provision
for amortization, indicates the United
States has advanced to a point well
beyond England's experience. The in
sured mortgage is exactly what it is
represented to be and is actually a
long term mortgage without modifying
clauses"

report states. John Bovine, the son
of Thomas Bovine of Matlock, Der
byshire, England, was born in 1927
and migrated to Massachusetts, with
his father and sister in l649.
Visiting Flushing soon after his
arrival in America, he decided to
establish himself there. He became a
substantial merchant and in 1856
married Hannah Feake, related to
the Winthrop family Of New England.

THE GARDEN
DEPARTMENT
BY Ferdinand Wiener

March is just around the corner
yet it seems the winter will still
continue for a long time. But the
feeling in the air is different
Something's brewing and that's
spring! So prepare for the break
the weather man will soon give us
If the snow banks haven't en-
tirely covered your fruit trees, now
is a good time to begin pruning
them. Choose a mild day, and there
will be less danger of accidental
breakage of limbs. Pruning may be
done any time from now on until
the buds swell. Grapes may also be
pruned now, and until the sap be-
gins to flow.
Dormant spraying may also be
done now. One must choose mild
days though. I wonder how many
we are going to have. Miscible oil
sprays are now on the market for
that purpose. Lime sulphur may
also be used, using a heavier solu-
ton than for summer use. Follow
the manufacturer directions
which are generally given while
with the container.
If the top layer Of soil in seed
pans and boxes consists of layer
of sandy loan or sand, the seed
lings started or transplanted in
this medium will be less likely to
damp off" than if heavy soil alone
is used. This is especially true if
the plantlets are kept we'll summed
and the top surface fairly dry.
Question: OF what value is n.y.
drafted lime in the garden?
Answer: Hydrated lime tends to
sweeten soils, breaking down the
vegetable matter therein, also soft
ening clayey soils. Apply to the
surface at the rate of ten to fiji
teen pounds to the hundred after
blowing. Dig or rake in. Hardwood
ashes contain much lime, so they
may be used in the same manner.
They are rich in potash, and are
useful for the following crops:
melon, tomato, bean, pea, corn,
pepper, etc.
Question: My dalhia tubers are
shriveling and rotting. What is the
cause?
Answer: Dalhia tubers may
shrivel or rot from too much mois-
ture or not enough. Cut away dis
eased parts and give better ven
tilation. When tubers rot the air
is too moist. If they shrivel, it is
too dry. If shriveling, keep pans of
water in storage quarters to mois-
ten air. To give still more mois-
ture, suspend strips of old burlap
or old blanket from nails or hooks
in pans of water on the floor. This
will moisten the air in a surpris-
ingly short time. When the shrivel-
ed tubers have regained plumpness,
reduce the amount of moisture.
Answer to last weeks question:
Theobroma, Greek for good of the
gods" is the botanical name of
about a score of tropical American
trees, small in height, from which
chocolate and cocoa are obtained.
Cacao, pronounced "kakao" the or
iginal Spanish and generic name
applied by Tournefort, is now dis
placed by the Linnean name Theo-
broma.
Is bamboo a grass or a tree? See
next weeks answer.
