RAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR HEAVY DAMAGE
Tobacco, Garden Produce Farmers Estimate Losses
 at Half Million

Excessive rainfall during June, July and August carried away 8 half million dollars worth of fer tilizer from the tobacco and vege- table fields of Connecticut, accord- Ing to an estimate made by Dr. M. F. Morgan of the Agricultural Experiment Station at New Haven. The more than seven inches of rain passing completely through the soil in the two months period was equal to .he amount normally percolat- ing through in six months, based on the average rainfall lof the past nine years.
 This estimate was made by MT. Morgan as the result of lysimeter studies in progress as the tobacco substation at Windsor. Analysis of the leachate drained from tobacco plots showed that all of the nitro gen supplied in the nitrate form with the fertilizer treatment has been lost. In addition, about half the nitrogen available from organic nitrogen sources was carried away from the plants.
 This amounts to total Of be- tween 100 and 120 pounds per acre, quantity sufficient to satisfy the requirements of crop for normal growth, Dr. Morgan said. Unless additional side dressings of fertilizer were made to offset losses after the heavy storms, 1t is estimated that only 60 or 70 pounds of available nitrogen per acre remain flor the crop. This figure is 6 little more than enough to i'll half it's needs.
 In terms of money this means @ $250,000 setback for tobocco farm CTS, Dr. Morgan pointed out. Vege- tables and other intensively fer tilized crops grown on the lighter soil have suffered similar losses, he said.
 On the other hand, the teaching under grass cover crops has been negligible. The dense network of fqeeding grass roots apparently held bac kthe soluble materials. Culti- vated crops. such as tobacco, had not had time to develoip so thick a root system before the heavy rains came.

City To Negotiate
 Loan Of $250,0OO
Abnormal Conditions Described By Controller Makes
 Action of Board Necessary

1 abnormal conditions" and a less than-expected payment of taxes, the condition of the budget through placement of the $300,000 sinking fund thereon, payment of 1937 bills and other matters as reason for reversal of his contention.
 He stated that tax receipts were "$200,000 under normal, but his report for the first six months of the year shows that receipts to the surplus resource sinking fund amounted to $164,270 in 1887, noth- ing this year; on tne other hand only $91, ,535 was collected at this time last year in state refunds and grants as against $134,987 this year by the controllers figures.
 The actual difference -in receipts of current taxes is explained by one instance of the withholding of full payment of the years taxes by a large manufacturer. Formerly, this concern had made complete pay ment in May of the taxes for the year, but this year withheld the approximate $200,000 of the second (October) installment, thus making the entire difference in the approxi- mate $3,124,000 collected to June 90 this year and the $3,361 ,000 collected by the same time in 1887.
 $250,000 On Lists
 By Board of Finance approval a series of notes to the total of $250,- GOO, payable November 10, after the second installment of taxes is paid, will be used against that amount of the $501 ,000 balance in the street and general improvement bonds on deposit at the Colonial Trust Com pany. There will be no interest charge.
 Commissioner John H. Goss point cd to precedent TOT this type of borrowing by citing similarly devised transfer of bond funds in the amount of $400,0O0 to the gen. eral fund on notes in February, 1881. The procedure IS for the mayor and city treasurer to Issue the notes on the boards authorization in the form approved by the board yes- terday.
 Prompt Payments
 Controller Rowland said that he had changed procedure of other years, mot because of charter re- quirements but because thought 1t good business" and had placed the bond funds in separate accounts from which now he will have to borrow" in order that payments can be made promptly for payrolls and current obligations. :"
 The controller earlier this week was ordered to pay truckers and renters of equipment to the city bills amounting to many thousands of dollars, some of which were due from the time he took office, Jan- uary 3, this year, many for 16 weeks and longer.

Controller Sherwood L.

 This procedure is one which has been customary in other years and formed part of Controller Rowland's attack program in the matter of his predecessor, former Controller Dan- iel J. Leary.

HOME BUILDING
 TREND UPWARD
Decline Experienced in 1887 Compensated By
 Early 1888 Activity

Washington, Aug. 12.-An upward trend in construction of home! was pointed out today by the Fed eral Home Loan Bank Review upor the basis of records of the U. s Labor Department, collected iron cities of 10000 and more popula. ton.
 The building index for May reached 29 G926 equals 100), tho Review said, an increase of 25 pei cent over the corresponding montt of last year and 6 per cent above April of the present year.
 After very sharp declines in 1937 the article pointed out, there was q tendency during the early months of this year for the descent to level off and recently there has been an upward turn.
 Increase Activity
 Tn othc words" the Review said "the rapid decline in residential con- structlon during 1887 has been partially compensated for by an in- crease in activity during the past four months.
 Construction costs have tapered off much more during the past year than has the rental market-both of these series showing signs of stabilizng somewhat during the February May period. However, a downward trend in these series is still in evidence, especially in the prices of building materials.
 With the exception of brick and tile, all groups of wholesale buiId- ing material prices indexes indi- cated either decline or remained stationary during the month of May"
 Numerically, 15,300 dwelling units were provided Il May in cities of 10000 or over, an increase of 800 over April and 600 more than in May, 1897.
 Below Record
 Although the number of dwelling units constructed has risen during the past three months in line with the number of units built in the corresponding period of 1937," the Review said, "thc May total esti- mated cost of these units is still $4000,000 below May, 1887.
 "In the United States as a whole 243 family dwelling units were provided in May per 100000 popu- lation. This represents an increase of slightly less than one unit over last month, and a simila rise in the rate over May, 1937."
