This Is the season for the planting
OF late-crop potatoes-June 25 te
July Is The recommended varieties
are Dakota Red, Sequoia, Smooth
Rural and Smooth Russet. 1t Is
doubtful If there will be much seed
available, but this should not worry
the Victory gardener. When every
one else Is planting, as shown by the
shortage of seed, it would seem wise
to devote the space to other crops
for winter use-late cabbage, kale
spinach, broccoli. rutabaga, etc.

The beginning gardener may
isish to try an old garden prac-
"orapellino" potatoes. This
consists OF loosening the soil
oper hill OF potatoes and then
i0ith the fingers seek out and
remoDe the larger potatoes. 1t
does not in5Hre the plant il care
fully done, and the young potd-
toes are Dery tasty. Sweet po-
tatoes may be harvested the same
10dy.
A great many gardeners are per-
turbed over the rolling" of the low
er leaves on their tomato vines. This
should not be a cause for concern
unless there are evidences of disease
on the leaves. AS long as the leaves
have normal healthy color and
show no signs of disease or insect in
jury the rolling may be blamed or
the weather.
Many gardeners are not pery
optimistic. They are using stakes
2 to 3 feet tall as support for
their tomatoes. When pruned to
a single stem and Ueu tended,
the ordinary tomato pine should
grotO to the top OF 6-toot stake.
While plants are small is the time
to see that the stakes are firmly
anchored in the ground. A stake
that may seem solid enough in dry
ground, may be no support at all
after soaking rain has moistenec
the soil. When growth is pretty well
attained they will offer considerable
resistance to the wind, and wher
laden with rain, unless the stake i;
firmly driven into the ground, they
are apt to blow over.
Not all garden supply houses
are stocking the mineral OIL

Chris L. Christensen, dean Of the
University of Wisconsin College of
Agriculture, has resigned to become
vice president Of the Celotex

ment, it was reported this week.
He is an authority on farm building,

pointment that the deans "long

should prove Invaluable in driving
forward the program Of product
and market development by the

"One Of the building industry's
postwar problems will be manufac-
turing large-enough quantity Of
materials to supply the demands OF
new construction and rehabilitation
at home and abroad A great un-
tapped reservoir Of raw materials
for supplying these needs can be
found on the farm" he added.

Mortgages Covering
7O6 Dwelling Units
Insured by FILA

The Federal Housing Administra-
ton last month insured mortgages
on IL privately financed large-scale
rental housing projects for war
workers in the Washington Metro
politan Area, District Director Wal
ter c. Cox announced today.
The mortgages total $3,044,4 400 and
cover 706 dwelling units. With con-
struction on most of them well
along the way" the apartments are
Glendale. Ramsey, Burton and
Green, all In Alexandria: Fort Gre
BILE, in Southeast Washington; Hal
ley Gardens, in the Southeast sec
ton Of the District; Bradley Boule-
ward, Bethesda; Prospect Gardens,
Brentwood, and Lehigh, in Arlihg-
; ton County. HALEY Gardens is in
three sections, while Fort Greble has
two sections, bringing the total to
IL apartment developments.
Under FHA Inspection.
Financed under the war housing
amendment to the National Housing
Act, they will come under FHA in
spection, Mr.. Cox said. Sites select
ed for the developments are we'll
within easy committing distance"
of downtown Washington. They
range in size from % to 1856 units.
In May the FHA insured mort
cages of S2,732, 800 on 10 similar
projects. These large-scale rental
housing projects are in addition
to one to four family homes now
under construction.
Last month, Mr.. Cox said, 1856 ap-
pllcations were received for mort
gage insurance involving $798, 300 on
homes in this area However, the
need for conserving critical ma
terials for direct war production pur-
poses has placed greater emphasis
on the large-scale rental project
IN attempting to meet the housing
needs of essential war workers.
The construction of multi-family
apartment projects offers greater
opportunities for maximum con-
eervation of critical materials and
mechanical equipment through such
factors as the use of back -to-back
baths and kitchens and single
plumbing stacks serving a number
Of family units.
In addition. sites suitable for
large-scale projects usually are To-
Gated in developed neighborhoods
where streets, sewers, water sys-
TENS and other utilities already are
installed, thereby eliminating the
need for the use of critical mate
rials for such purposes.
Since July. 1912, when operations
began under section 606 of the act.
the Washington Office has insured
mortgages totaling s1s,665, 400 for the
construction of As large-scale rental
projects in the local area. The num-
ber of family dwelling units in
volved totals approximately 4,4oo.
These projects are all privately
financed, and many already are
completed and occupied by essen
tial war workers.

Postwar Boom Is Seen
In Fabricated Houses

The huge postwar housing market
offers "a golden opportunity" for
prefabricated houses to show their
worth, says the current issue OF
Steel News, publication of the
United States Steel Corp.
The article said that because of
the continued use of age"old meth
DDS Of construction Americans have
been getting less for their money in
housing than in almost any other
product"
Housing was part OF survey made
on 13 customer industries, repre-
senting in a normal year about four
fifths of the steel companys busi-
ness. by George w. Wolf, president
of the United States Steel Export
Co.
He found Americans are ready for

ton Of the mass production tech.
nique which put automobiles, radios
and mechanical refrigerators within
the means of millions.
The mechanical problem OF pre-
fabrication should offer no obstacle
since house is really much less in
tricate than an automobile Such
difficulties as satisfying the demands
of the public for variations in floor
plans and in exterior appearance
should be easily overcome.
I'm fact, 1t is confidently predicted
that within five years after the war
one-half of the single family de-
tached houses will be of the pre-
fabricated type. The importance of
this to the steel industry will be
far-reaching, the article added.
It was predicted that a prefabri-
Gated one-unit kitchen and bath
room heating combination may be-
come a volume factor in business.

THE WAY TO

Reports from the American
Association OF Petroleum Geolog-
lists and the American Petroleum
Institute indicate that there still
remains uneXplored approximate
ly l,OOO.OOO.OOO acres of geologi-
cal formation in which oil may be
found in the United States. Not
only does this vast area remain
unexplored. but today oil is being
produced from sands found at
depth of 1875 feet. and present
equipment makes it possible to
drill to depth exceeding $1,000
feet-as contrasted to 50 feet for
the first we'll drilled in 1880. In
addition to OH resources being
plentiful. scientists are cOntinu-
ally increasing the power of gaso-
line. thus tending to conserve

At present the belief seems pre-

latory agencies that the price o!
oil has nothing to do with oil pro-
duction. But protracted oil short
age will be the fault of man. rath-
er than the fault of nature. if oil
prices are held at levels which
prohibit exploration and develop
ment. and disregard production
costs. AS long as that fallacy is
maintained. the oil shortage will
