"SACRIFICE SALES"
CURBED BY SYSTEM
F. II. A. Publication Cites Merits
of Insured Mortgage
Plan.

One OF the greatest potential advan-
tages Of the insured mortgage system
lies in the fact that, by it's very ma
ture and operation, Sacrifice sales"
OF foreclosed real estate will be min
1mlzed and temporary collapses in
home real estate values will be pre-
vented to great degree in times
when demand Is weak, according to
an article appearing currently in the
Insured Mortgage Portfolio. Federal
Housing Administration publication,
The article brings out this point in
. discussion Of the solvencv of the
mortgage insurance fund which is the
bulWark OF the insured mortgage svs-
tem. Preliminary actuarial studies,
based on all data available. the article
stated, indicate that the insurance
premium charge of one-half of i per
cent not only will be sufficient to
MAINTAIN solVency of the fund, but
Will provide a margin from which re-
FUNDS may be made to mortgagors
(borroWers) at the maturity of their
group accounts.
AZ tiiLo SolllttLIOQ, Cle article
continues, ut should be remembered
that when property securing an in
eured mortgage is foreclosed bv the
mortgage 0ending institution and
transferred to the Federal Housing ad-
mlnistrator In exchange for per cent
debentures, as provided by the ma
tional housing act, the principal re-
eelpts from which these debentures
subsequently will be retired will be
derived, not from insurance premiums.
but from the ultimate sale of the fore.
closed property. In the great major.
aty OF such cases, the principal of the
ioreclosed mortgage loan will have
been reduced below It's original so or
smaller percentage OF the prop-rtv,s
appraised value. Hence, even with a
crop IN property values comparable to
the recent depression, the margin of
Losses covered out of premiums should
be relatively small"

celeries, like Pascal, are deep green
and must be blanched.
Caullf1oWer presents somewhat diff
ferent problem in that no one cares
to blanch the leaves, but simply the
heart. This is done by drawing up
several OF the large outer leaves over
the head while it is very small and
tying them together with narrow tape
or soft tWine. This umbrella of leaves
keeps out the suns rays and permits
the formation of the delightful white
heads that We so greatly admire.
Often celery and endive are blanched
by lifting the mature plants from the
garden and placing them in a dark
cellar In the course of few DAYS
the green color will disappear and a
delightful white product will result.
The Portulaca.
THE sight of beautiful bed of red
portulaca located on thin. dry soil
makes one realize that this plant is in
a class by itself when it comes to max
Ing a gorgeous display in full sunlight
and in relatively poor soil. In fact, the
portulaca thrives best in environments
too poor and too dry for its more lux
uriant neighbors. The blooms are
short lived and OF little or no value
for cutting. but, massed in bed, they
are striking and effective II one has
dry location, unfavorable for other
plants, he should try sowing a bed Of
portulaca next Spring.

Garden Notes.
r OSA RUGOSA produces beautiful
fruits as well as flowers and at
this season the orange yellow hips, as
the rose fruits are called, appear like
edible fruits. AS matter of fact. the
apple and the rose are related plants.
The TugoSa roses are sturdier than
most other species and one never sees
the plants beset with black spot or
other troubles common to the usual
garden rose.
OF all the brilliant Summer ANIMALS,
the petunia makes about the gayest
olIoNlilS VI dll, ESPECIALLY "IltIl pldtlyeu
in masses of single color, such as pink
or blue. The petunia revels in full
sun and perhaps this is why it is seen
more often in gardens along the ocean
shore than in shaded suburbs Heat
is no handicap to the petunia, but
seems rather to provide the ideal
environment.
Up to the present time this has been
very fine home gardening season
Lawns have kept in good condition
with little watering and all kinds of
Towering plants have made fine dis
plays. This more or less compensates
for the unfavorable seasons that haze
been met occasionally in the last six
or seven years.
When cutting patches of crab grass
in the lawn, it will pay to follow the
first moving with an iron-toothed rake
This will bring many Of the branches
into an erect position in which the
tops may be cut off. All the moved
material should be raked off the lawn
and placed in pile to rot.

bad times" the authors write, young
couples who would normally marry put
1t off. The vacancies that they would
have filled up by their establishing
a new family unit remain vacancies.
But as times get better the marriage
rate increases and vacancies are re-
moved" A chart of the accumulated

Louis is shown. 1t reached a startling
peak in 1884. At present people are
getting married faster, and the "re-

Governments Role.
For reasons such as this the Gov
ernment cannot do much about build
ing activity.
THE Government can to some ex-
tent stir up or dampen building ac-
tivity," the authors say, "but the cycle
for all practical purposes, is outside
Government control. The supply and
demand for space is the prime mover
in the building cycle. The amount of
building can be decided only by l3O,-
100000 people, but it may be presumed
that in this cycle they will act as they

Versely, when building construction
has been at low ebb, as has been the
case in recent years, it takes years for
the required building to be completed.
The building industry further In
creases the depths OF it's own slumps
by the fact that, If for some reason
the industry is not active, it throws
SO many persons out Of work that the
demand for buildings is reduced.
Building Influences Business,
Since building flUctuates for rea-
sons inherent in its own nature. and
since it is so large, we should expect
that building will influence those
activities which are regarded as mir.
rors OF general prosperity. 1t does.

and their ancestors have acted In
the past.
"The other great influence on pros
perity Is the price level. This is now
in the hands Of the Government
through setting the price Of gold, and
1t is fair to assume that the commodity
level will not be allowed to drop too
far
THE building industry is a vital
factor in business activity. 1t is
characterized by its size, which makes
it second in Importance; by its fluc-
tuations, which are violent, and by
its clearly defined cycle of about 18
years. Buildings last for many years
and If there are too many it takes a
long time to wear them out. Con-

a is demoralizing to the home
gardener who recognizes the injury to
various trees and shrubs as that caused
by the japanese beetle. This omniv-
orous insect is so numerous that even
spraying with poison does not appear
to be fully successful. Grapevines ap-
pear as If they had been whitewashed
because of the heavy coating of ar
senate of lead. The Japanese beetle
is serious pest and one that soon
will present local gardeners with
major problem. as the insect is already
in the vicinity. 1t seems largely
question of how soon the population
will be built up to a menacing posi-
ton. DR.. E. N. Cory, State entomolo-
gist for Maryland, has repeatedly
called attention to the increasing pop
ulatIon of japanese beetles in this
general vicinity. The Federal Depart
ment OF Agriculture has published
bulletins on the life history and con-
troll OF the Japanese beetle and is
working asslduously on parasites and
other methods Of control. However,
IKE many other introduced pests. the
japanese beetle has displayed unusual
aggressIveness. probably because its
natural enemies were left at home.
The unfortunate feature is the great
number Of different plants that the
japanese beetle feeds upon. This
makes 1t difficult to select a group of
plants for the garden that are i'm
mune to injury. Unfortunately. too.
the beetle causes great injury to lawns
by feeding on the grass roots during
the period of the larval development
IN the soil. Only by applying very
large applications of arsenate of lead
can this type of damage be prevented
one would wish to be optimistic with
regard to the Japanese beetle, but it
is difficult to be after seeing the ugly
work OF the beetle in nearby Penn
sylvania.
Blanching Vegetables.
JUST how or when gardeners dis
covered that blanching certain
vegetables greatly improves their eat
ing quality is not known. but at all
events 1t is an old procedure with
such plants as celery, caulif1ower and
endive. Removal OF the green chloro-
phyll takes with it certain bitter fla
vors and makes for tenderness. Blanch-
ing OF celery may be accomplished in
several ways, the simplest of which
is to put soil up against both sides
OF the row, covering all but the ton
leaves Sometimes wide boards are
used tor the same purpose and there
are individual paper tubes that may
be placed over each plant Some
varieties Of celery. such golden self
