as possible to where it will be
used in the Kitchen.
An unusual example Of this is
a Intersection. sliding door
compartment above and behind
the kitchen sink. In one of the
compartments is stored soap and
other cleaning materials used at
the sink. Most housewives have
to keep such materials in the
space beneath the sink which
means a long bend down every
time something is needed.
A second compartment holds
la storage bin for vegetables
which are prepared for cooking
at the sink. The metal bin is
designed so that it may be re-
moved easily for cleaning.
The third compartment is con-
fnected to outdoors by a hatch
so that the milkman can deliver
the milk almost into the hands
of the housewife. The compart-
ment has a copper bottom and
drain which makes it possible
for him to put ice in with the
milk on hot summer days when
the family is not there to put
lit Immediately in the refriger-
ator.
Special Compartments
All three of these compart-
mentS are sunk into the outside
wall of the house and in winter
both the milk and vegetables are
kept at a temperature somewhat
below that inside the kitchen.
Another example of Mrs.
Thye's views on kitchen plan
ming is evident in the trash dis
posal arrangement. She feels
that a receptacle large enough
to hold all the cans and waste
paper that kitchen inevitably
produces wort fit comfortably
into the room. AS a result, one
of the cabinet doors under the
counter in her kitchen leads to
the furnace and utility room on
a lower level where a tremen-
dous box catches anything
thrown through the cabinet
door. The box Is ample to hold
all the trash that can accumu-
late between collections.
Lighting Is also paid careful
attention in the kitchen. A tubu-
lar light runs around the room
almost directly over the edge OF
the counter and about a foot
below the ceiling. 1t is shaded

Her consideration for the

Mrs. T'hye says that if she had
to design her kitchen again under
the same circumstances, she
would do it exactly the same
way.
However. the decrease in the
number of people living at the
house has eliminated the need for

There are also certain new de-

Farmers Told
To Recognize
Erosion Tips

Most modern farmers recognize
gullies and large silt deposits as
trouble that requires attention if
their soil is to remain productive.
But there are many less obvious
signs of erosion that will even.
tually eat away profits as well as
soil if not corrected, suggests

IF these telltale signs appear

come the problem.
Following are some of the less
recognized signs of erosion de-
scrlbed by the conservatonist as
trouble signals.
Appearance of new stones and
yravel on the surface after field
las been cleared is usually a sign
that fine soil has washed away
from over and around the stones.
Frost heaving may bring small
stones to the surface in poorly
darined areas, but if the soil be-
meath flat stone is a little higher
than the surrounding soil, form
ing a small pedestal under the
stone, it is an indication that sur.
rounding soil has washed away.
Further exposure Of boulders
or bedrock also indicates a low
cred soil surface. For the same
reason, plows may strike tile
drains that were originally laid
deep enough to be safe from dam.
age.
Exposed tree roots are another
sign of soil washing, since tree
roots do not ordinarily grow
above the surface. And bare spots
often develop on pastures where
close grazing and trampling by
livestock have paved the way for
erosion.
On many knobs, ridges, and up.
per slopes, crops are of poorer
quality than those grown on the
area below Leaves are lighter
colored, plants are shorter, and
yields are lower. Low fertility and
lack of moisture resulting from
loss of topsoil cause these condi.
lions. Soil accommodating above
trees, stones, and hedges on
slope is further proof of soil loss
from the upper areas.

Check Market
Corn Prices.
Bradley Says

Maryland farmers should watch
the market closely so they can
sell their 1855 corn crop to best
advantage, says Chester S. Brad
ley chairman of the Maryland
Agricultural Sterilization and
Conservation Committee.
The government take-over date
for corn in Maryland is May Is,
Mr.. Bradley reports, and farm
ers may sell their corn before
that date or wait until the corn
is actually delivered. By selling
his corn before it is taken over,
a farmer may be able to get a
better price for it than the ST. IA
a bushel supported by the gov
eminent. Out of the government
price the farmer must pay his
own Smelling and delivery costs.
According to Mr.. Bradley, un-
verified reports indicate that corn
is selling on the farm in some
sections of the state at $1.68 or
better per bushel. If Maryland
farmers can sell their corn on
the farm at this price, they will
be better off than at the govern
ment price of ST. IA, because there
will be no Smelling or delivery
costs, he said.

tract being developed on a
higher elevation for new home
sites.
Apparently in this case the top
soil had generally been removed
from the higher land, resulting
in a considerable muddy run-off
during heavy rains.
The legal difficulty in cases of
this sort usually comes in trying
to decide whether or not the use
of the land complained of has
been accompanied by reasonable
precautions to prevent damage.
In one actual case, a property
owner constructed a reservoir on
his land which leaked into ad-
joining property and caused
damage to a mine shaft. In this
instance it was fairly easy for the
court to determine that the first
landowner was liable for the
damage his acts had caused.
In another case, however, suit
was brought in an effort to force
Ia property owner to regrade his
land. which remained in a nat
ural state, so as to alter the
normal run-off, or pay for water
damage to lower property. Here
too. it was easy to rule that there
was no liability on the part OF
the upper landowner who had
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-07-29

done nothing to affect the drain
age from his property.
Trouble arises in cases falling
between these extremes, such as
complete inattention to property
in developed areas with resultant
Iovergrowth of unsightly and
harmful vegetation.
There now seems to be a tend
ency to hold landowners liable in
the more aggravated type of
case. Even in some not-so-
aggravated cases liability has
been imposed. In Mississippi. for
example, a family pony became
poisoned when it ate leaves from
a yew tree overhanging. from a
neighbours yard; the neighbor
paid. And in Vermont a furniture
store also paid for damages
caused when it did nothing to
stop snow from sliding off its
roof onto an adjacent home.
So far there has not been
much disposition to impose
liability for the mere overgrowth
of wild vegetation. But the di-
viding line in many similar cases
is often so thin that there is no
way to predict how a suit is apt
to turn out.
