ents in the soil. That is, each
nutrient must be in adequate sup
ply in relation to other necessary
nutrients before plants will grow
well. While each element has its
own job to do, no single nutrient
can do the whole job itself.
If soils are short of phosphorous,
additions of nitrogen alone will do
little good. Conversely, if nitrogen
is in small supply only phosphate
applications won't give the de-
sired results.
To find out exactly what your
soils need, have soil test made.
Your county agent or farm advisor
can tell you how it's done.
If you want higher yields, lower
costs of production and higher

Of. territory for the project and on
this information Plans and De-,
sign will prepare the plans for the
project.
In the meantime the Division of
Tests is furnishing information
concerning the type and condition
of the land to be used for the
project and the Right-of-Way Di-
vision is procuring any land need
ed for the project.
The Construction Division en-
ters the picture with the compile
tion and approval of the plans for
the project by noting if any util-
ity lines must be changed or mov-
ed, and then holding conference
with the representatives of the
utilities concerning these changes.
Following the awarding of a.
contract for the project these Di-
visions continue in action. The
Division of Tests must examine
all materials to be used on the
project before they are used and
also make many tests of these
materials while the work is in
progress.
The Construction Division is in
charge of the project while the
construction work is in progress
with the inspectors for the pro-
ject being provided by the County
Division of the county in which
the project is located.
In event the project was being
partially financed by Federal Aid,
then the Federal Aid and Re-
search Division was engaged on
the project from the time the
plans were completed until the
project IS accepted and placed in
service.
In the meantime the Admins
trative section of the Chief En-
gineer's Office is following the
cost of the project to see that
this cost remains within the linn
itations set aside for the work.
Most of the planning for the CO.
operation between the various Di-
visions on a project is provided
at staff conferences conducted by
Mr.. Haber at which each activity
in the project is reviewed and the
Division heads leave those con-
ferences knowing just what is ex-
pected of their Division concern
ing the project and the estimated
dates when their work on it is
to be completed.
When Mr.. Haber rearranged the
members of his staff recently, and
changed some of the Division
heads, he explained that he was
seeking a competent staff to ham
die the large amount of construc-
ton that was confronting the
Highway Department in the i'm
mediate future.

Dig That Crazy hooking Bird
BY JAMES BIRcHFIELD


That crazy hooking bird is
back again.
All day long he makes passes
at the back window from the
firethorn bush against the house.
He isn't satisfied to eat his fill
of berries and let us eat our
dinner in peace. He has to al
ternate eating the firethorn ber-
ries with sallies at the window
pane.
You would think that he
would knock himself out, He
hits the glass with quite a thud,
and after a day or so. ! would
think that he would be sore all
lover.
But not this bird. He never
gets enough. He wakes us at
daylight every morning with his
incessent humping against the
glass, and he is there flying
against the glass at dusk each
evening.
We had this happen once be-
fore. A hooking bird kept tap
ping at our living room window
one summer. Finally, the
weather being warm, we opened
the top of the window and let
him fly into the house.
He came in. flew around,
perched for a time on a chair
back and then retired to his
rosebush outside.
From then on he used to
I pay us daily visits in our living
room. This went on until he
either tired, or found mate and
something better to do some
place else.
But this is not window open
ing weather. And II this bird
doesn't soon go away to Florida
he is going to drive US all nuts.
Jack Smith has given me q
tip about treating posts that
have been set in concrete.
The trouble about setting q
locust post in cement is that it
invariably rots of where 1t
enters the cement. 1t won't last
as long in the cement as it will
II 1t is set In the ground.
Obviously, you don't set a post
in cement to make it last, but
because 1t holds a gate or is q
stretch post and needs to be
flrmer in the ground than you
can lamp 1t.
Now Jack says you can protect
q post that is so set with a simple
! caulking gun. He learned the
trick. he said, from his grand
father.
What you do. Jack said, is to
take a caulking gun and run q
line of caulking material around
the post at the cement level.
This makes a water-tight seal
and prevents standing water
seeping into the wood where it
goes into the cement.
1t also forms a shoulder and
helps carry the rain away from
the bottom of the post.
Try It," Jack said. "and your

Avoid Excess
Watering of
House Plant

BLACKSBURG, Va. - Water
ing house plants too frequently
may cause damage to the plants,
says S. B. Femme. extension plant
pathologist at VPI.
He explains that heavy wa
tering in such a manner that
the roots remain water soaked
for long periods will ruin the
plants. Roots must breathe so
1t is necessary to give plants the
proper amount of water but ia
cilities should be such that the
water will drain quickly SO the
soil will be aeriated.
One important factor to re-
member is that house plants are
in a different environment than
those growing outside.
Rooms frequently are kept
very dry and warm during the
winter while outside the plants
would be maintained in a more
normal condition and during the
nights the humidity often would
be high, providing conditions
more favorable for normal
growth.
Reporting plants may help if
they develop a diseased root
condition. Putting them in
clean. sterilized soil may do the
trick.
To sterilize a small amount of
soil. he suggests putting 1t in
a shallow pan and baking 1t in
the oven at about $50 degrees
for 30 minutes.
After the soil is sterilized. the
soil should be allowed to aeriate
for about two days before it is
placed in pots for new plants.
1t ordinarily is not necessary

plants for disease control.

Walt Disney presents Kirk Dug las, Paul Lukas, James Mason and Peter Lorre in Jules Verne's 10000 Leagues Under the Sea. :" in CinemaScope with Stereophonic Sound and color by Technicolor.
 This astounding movie, showing at the Orpheum over the weekend, is said to be Walt Disney's most m bilious production to date. Verne, who lived about hundred years ago, is considered today as foreseeing the atomic submarine.
 This elaborate production is an amazing visualization of the auth or'S famous novel of the submar. inc Nautilus Manned, by strange crew of which the moody Captain Memo was the master, the craft travelled from tropic waters to ice fields-keeping close to the ocean bottom.
