FARM
QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS

Question: Are stra Wberry
plants rooted at a eonslderaple
distance from the mother plant
different from those rooted near
the original plant?
Answer: According to E. y.
Marrow. research associate pro-
lessor of Horticulture at State
College, usually the only diff
ference between the plants at
considerable distance from the
mother plant and those nearby
is that the ones nearer the moth
er plant are usually older and,
therefore, larger. The yield OF
fruit is decidedly affected by the
size of the plant at the end OF
the growing season. For ex-
ample, runner plants rooted III
June are usually at least twice
the size of runner plants rooted
in eptember. This means that
the June rooted plants will pro-
duce from so to 100 per cent
more berries next spring than
will the September runners. The
primary difference, therefore, be-
tween plants nearer the mother
plant and those at a consider
able distance is in the size and
age of plant. The younger plants
are fully as satisfactory for set
ting in new field as are the
older plants.

Result Of the vote held at the

tional Labor Relations Board as the
result Of an agreement between
Local No. 10, UPW, and the uni
versity.
Dorothy Bailey, Local No. 10 presi-
dent, issued the following statement: !:
This tremendous victory in our
union is a result of the excellent
relationship our local has had with
Howard University since April Is,
1S46, when we signed a contract
with Howard University for the nom
teaching staff. Union effectiveness
in solving grievances for the non
teaching staff and building employe
morale at the university brought
home to the teaching staff the fact
that they, too, could benefit and
make a better contribution to the
life of the university by being
represented by our union"
Negotiations with the university
for a contract embracing the teach
ing staff will be entered into i'm
mediately with DR.. Mordecai john

BOB Americans Quit
'Peiping for Home as
Reds Cease Attacks
BY ihs Assoeioied Press

PEIPING. Feb. Gums were
silent along the Peiping- -Tientsin
railway for the second straight
day as the first Americans from
the deactivated truce headquar-
ters pulled out for home today.
A sleepy-eyed group of sos off,
GERS, men and WAC were aboard
the train when 1t left on the seven-
hour run to Tangku Port, where
they will board the Army transport
Gen. Weigel to sail for home.
1t. Gen. Alvan C. Gillem, jr..
American commissioner at truce
headquarters, turned out to see the
contingent of, but neither Ma
tional sGoyernment nor the Com
munists sent representatives To wish
godspeed to the first of the 1000
Americans to depart.
Precautions were taken even
though the route was reported quiet.
The train carried water and pro-
visions for two days and a Marine
guard took positions at strategic
places in the cars. Two Marine
planes flew escort, keeping in con-
slant contact with the fighter
squadron at the airdrome here.
State Of Emergency Declared.
Chinese press reports said fighting
f1ared in other sectors, particularly
between Paoting and Shichia-
chuang on the Peiping- -Hankow rail-
road. The reports said Hsushui,
Tsaoho and Kucheng all within an
arc 20 miles north of Paoting had
been attacked by the Reds. The
government was reported determined
to free the area of opposition to in
sure uninterrupted traffic on the
route north. 1t was speculated that
government troops from Manchuria
might shortly be moved into the
area.
A state Of emergency was declared
at Taiyuan, capital of Shansi Prov
ince, as the Communists smashed at
Shouyang, 33 miles to the west. and
cut a failline nearby Taiyuan
schools were converted into hos
pitfalls.
Gen. Gillem said he handed iden-
tical letters yesterday to Gen. Tsal

missioner, and Gen. Yeh Chen
ying, Communist commissioner. in
forming them Of the inactivation
at once of all American functions
within the headquarters.
This order also called a halt to
activities of the American branch
of the advance section at Chang
chun, capital of Manchuria.
Gen. Gillem reported that Gen.
Yeh reiterated Communist assur-
ances there would be no attacks on
the Peiping- -Tientsin Railway while
the train is taking the Americans
to Tangku.
The first group will board the
General Weigel and proceed di-
rectly to the United States. On the
train were 211s officers and enlisted
men, 23 WACS,, IL dependents and
26 civil service employees.

$500 Area Homes
Completed in As,
Survey Reveals
By Robert ]. Lewis

Washington area home builders
worked on 15,7O0 new residences
during 1916, of which more than
$500 were completed, study by the
Bureau Of Labor Statistics showed
today. Not included In these figures
are apartments provided by con-
version OF existing units and more
than 1000 dormitory units COM
pleted during the year.
Thus, builders exceeded all pre-
vious BIS expectations. The last
preliminary estimate, completed a
month before the year closed, indi-
Gated approximately $4,000 dwellings
would be under construction during
the year,@of which $500 would be
completed.
Residential construction for 1946
cost an estimated $75,367 100, Of
which $69,S17.00o was in private
building and S., 5,450, 700 was for Gov
ernment-built housing.
Private expenditures rose from
$2,859, 800 in January, 1916, to ST.
142, 800 for July, and then dropped
to $6,548,S00 in December.
Homes Completed In Five Months.
The time needed to complete a
home dropped sharply during the
latter part Of the year, BIS found.
In early 1916 private builders esti-
mated eight and a half months were
needed to finish one-family house,
started the previous May Q, as COM
pared to six months fer a house
started in July, 1916, and five months
for a house started in October. 1916.
More than 7.700 of the dwellings
were privately financed. while the
remainder were in public projects
to provide emergency housing for
veterans and low-income families.
More than twice as many homes
were completed in the last six
months of the year as in the first
half. October competitions totaled
1880, making it the years peak
month.
OF the total number of dwellings,
under construction in 1916, 10,500
were started by private industry
during the year, three-quarters Of
them one-family homes and one
fifth in apartment buildings of five
units or more. Other construction
was carried over from that starter
in 1945.
From a total OF 500 units started
in January, the number Of starts
more than doubled to 1,100 in March
and continued at about this level
through June, dropping in July. In
October 1,2l0 units were begun.
Average Cost Was $S,400.
Builders estimated that the aver
age cost of one-family houses
started in the District area in 1946
was So, 400, exclusive of land and site
improvements.
From a high Of SIC, 400 last Febru-
ary, the average construction cost
fell to $8,400 In March and to 5000
for the nine months between April
and December, builders estimated.
Thus, Government regulation of
the selling price Of new homes under
the Veterans Emergency Housing
Program led to construction Of
smaller and less expensive dwell
ings," BIS said.
The area covered by the survey,
in addition to the District, included
Alexandra and Arlington and Fair
fax Counties, Va, and Prince Geor-
ges and Montgomery Counties, Md.
This area is one Of q representa-
tive group of areas studied by BIS
to assist the construction industry
and Government agencies dealing
with housing construction. It was
undertaken in cooperation with
