it's necessary to consider this when
you're color scheming. This same an
gle applies to the material used in
the construction Of the body of the
house. But in this case all materials
(clapboard, brick, shingles and stuc-
COZ can be successfully paint coated.
Fifth to be considered Is the trim
OF your house. The amount of trim
needs careful consideration - some
houses have q greater quantity than
others. The trim ON a house which
is overburdened with 1t can be made
less noticeable If it Is painted the
same color as the body OF the house.
THE sixth factor is the previous
color treatment. Naturally you will
desire different color scheme than
your house has had before"

RENTAL HOUSING
INTEREST RISING
New Project in New York
Is Expected to Boom
Other Fields.

Income and business opportunities
In rental housing projects are cur
rently attracting a growing interest
on the part Of investors as well as
professional groups and financial in
stitutions.
Recent announcement by the Metro
politan Life Insurance Co. of plans for
constructing $35,000,000 rental
project in New York City's Borough
Of the Bronx. to house between $4,000
and 10000 families, is expected to add
impetus to other developments in the
rental housing field throughout the
country.
This project, the largest integrated
urban development thus far under
taken, although not being financed
under the F. H. A. plans, demonstrates
tho extent to which acceptance of
rental housing as a field for sound
investment has grown since the first
efforts Of the Federal Housing Ad-
ministration 20 promote activity along
this line.
Applications Cited.
Expanding operations in the con-
struction Of rental housing also are
indicated by the fact that since pas
sage OF amendments to the National
Housing Act in February the Federal
Housing Administration has received
approximately 125 applications for
insurance on loans totaling about
$65,0OO,000. During the first quarter
OF 1888 loans on IA large-scale projects
were closed. involving approximately
$l0,000.000 of mortgages, and on Is
additional projects financing was ar
ranged with mortgages of $14,OO0,0O0.
These projects are being constructed
under section 207 of the National
Housing Act which provides for in
surance by the Federal housing ad-
ministrator of mortgage loans used to
finance such developments.
One OF the outstanding aspects of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. prof.
ect is that it will be financed COM
pletely by the company and will not
involve mortgage loan. While it is
thus outside of the Federal Housing
Administration program, the COM
pany's investment of policyholders
funds in a long-term project of this
kind, without the aid of F. H. A. mort
gage insurance, strengthens the evil
dence Of the investment soundness of
such projects.
Two Types Of Capital.
In the case of projects constructed
under the provisions of the National
Housing Act, two types of capital are
ordinarily required. One is the mort
gage or primary capital which may
constitute as much as 80 per cent of
the total cost. This capital generally
Is loaned by large institutions, such as
life insurance companies, and the
mortgages may be insured against de.
fault by the Federal housing admin
tstrator.
The remaining 20 per cent needed
TO construct project is the equity or
secondary capital. This 20 per cent
usually consists chiefly of land and
the value Of technical services and
only in part OF actual cash. The equity
capital comes from various sources, in
cludlng individual investors. owners
OF land, professional men working on
the projects, and others.
Projects initiated under the National
Housing Act are designed for rent to
families of moderate or low incomes.
This rental stability. in turn, protects
the mortgage and equity capital and
tends to provide steady annual re-
turn for the investors.

BeyschIag Tells
Sugar Beet
Irrigation Plan

Sugar beets should be irrigated
until shortly before the harvest ac-
cording to Frank Beyschlag, farm
advisor. Based on the experience
of growers in other areas he says
that the last irrigation should be
given about two or three weeks
before harvest although with some
soil conditions it may be given A
month or more before the harvest.
In the University Of California
curcular on sugar bett production,
available on request at the farm
advisors office, Dr. w. w. Robbins
states that sometimes the last IT.
rigation is made six to eight weeks
before harvest, with the thought
that this procedure insures salts
factory sucrose PERCENTAGE. In such
cases the percentage may indeed
be increased but the loss to the
grower, as a result OF decreased
tonnage, is often greater than his
gain from increased sucroSe per-
centage. If a beet has been kept
growing without interruption thru
out the the growing season, it will
mature normally despite a late ir-
rigation, although such irrigation
may postpone the date of maturity.
The harm from late irrigation comes
when the beets have lacked water to
the extent of injury to both foliage
and roots, SO that new growth is
stimulated and consequently the
sucrose precentage is lowered"

Station Need
Here Noted

The necessity for the continuance
of Meloland Experimental station
in Imperial Valley was discussed az
a special melting of Farm Bureau
directors Saturday morning at the
station.
Because thbe directors deemed
the station one of the principal
sources of agricultural development
if- the county the group planned
to seek support at a regional meet
ing in FL Centro on April 2.
1t was brought out at Saturdays
meeting that the Meloland station
was one of the last county expert
mental farms maintained by the
University in California as the ten
dency is to concentrate experiment
tai work at Davis. Because the re-
suits obtained in other districts do
not often apply to Imperial Valley
conditions, the university has con-
tinued the station. 1t is under fl
nanced, however, and will be un-
able to continue the present work
without additional funds.
Because of the great benefits that
have accrued to Imperial Valley
agriculture due to the work of the
station, including the introduction
and development of such crops as
flax, white federation wheat, dou-
BILE dwarf milo, sugar beets and
vetch, it was felt by the directors
that the station should be main
tanned, at least, at its present state
of efficiency.

Agriculture Dept.
To Act Against
Salt Concentrates

The widespread condition of salt
concentrations found in irrigated
soils throughout the west, and re-
garded by many as the most veXing
problem before western agriculture
today, is to be vigorously attacked
by the United States department of
agriculture through facilities pro-
vided by the University of Califor-
MIA.
Under provisions of the Bankhead
Jones act Of 1885, providing regional
laboratories for fundamental agri-
cultural research. the department
is to take over the university'5
RubidouX laboratories in Riverside
for intensive investigation of sa-
line eXcesses in western soils under
irrigation.
The laboratory, which is the old
citrus experiment station. has been
under lease to the department
bureau of plant industry.
A director of the new enterprise
has aleready been selected in the
person TO Or. o. c. Magistad, dir
ector of the Hawaiian Agricultural
station and former associate soil
chemist at the University of Ariz-
ona.
