OMAHA AMONG
FEW CITIES IN
BUILDING GAIN
Sharp Slump Noted From
High Level in New Con-
struction Work for
1920.
; Cumulative deterrent factors have
operated to diminish materially the
prospective building whiih might
have been in store for 1120. May
building statistics reflect this decline
very plainly. Returns from J-'
cities to the American C'ontraMor
give an estimated valuation of only
$128,370,237 as compaifd to a valua
tion of $199,155,821 from 200 cities
for' the month of April.
There is only a 20 per cent gain
t.er May operations of 1919, where
as April operations slwed 115 pet
ccot Rain. Ot course in 1919, May
showed a total far in exreSs .of April
because during both mouths the long
suinsr ttpwarf to the rmord-break-ing
June and August months was
in progress. There is no evidence
if a June peak this year. Possibly
the peak has been passed in April.
Certain it has unless the railroads
can be made to function.
The decrease from April activity is
nunc noticeable in the larger cities.
A comparision of 178 cities for the
two mouths reveals losses in 108
rml gains in 70. The only large
i-'tie showing' gains arc St. Louis,
X'evv Orleans. San Francisco. Seattle,
Omaha. Tiufallow and .the Borough
of UrooUyn. ,

A comparison of activity in 14
identical cities' for the first five
Months of 1920 with activity in 1919
. ;id with average activity from the

The most significant conclusion to
he drawn from this comparison is
that while 1920 operations started
ou a very favorable basis as com
pared to 1919 operations and pro
gressed to a marked peak in April,
the May recession has brought ac
tivity within 20 per cent of 1919 ac
tivity at a time when nothing; but
further recession seems to be n
store.
The average value of permits per
city for May, as may be expected,
has decreased about in proportion
to the recession total for the total
of .cities. The figures are $668,500
per city as against $995,800 for
April, $784,000 for March. $585,000

uary. Watermelons
By FRANK RIDGEWAY.
; -With the proper kind of soil and
an early variety of seed, water
melons planted now will reach ma
turity before frost. A sandy loam,
or a light soil containing plenty of
humus, is needed to grow melons of
high quality. . .
If only a few hills are planted in
the home garden the soil may be
easily fitted for melon?. If the soil
is heavy, work well rotte4 manure
into the hills before planting. Plapt
'the seed in hills made by digging a
hole about twofeet in diameter and
deep enough to allow. room for a
forkful of decomposed manure in
the bottom. When the hole is filled
. the top of the hill should be two or
three inches below the surface. Hills
made in this way do not dry out so
qwckly. The hills should be about
eight feet apart each way to allow
room for the vines.
Plant eight seeds evenly distrib
uted in each hill. Cover the seed
with fine soil to a depth of about
one inch, and firm the soil (with the
hands or a board. When the melon
seed is planted a row of lettuce
should be sown around the rim of
the hilt. This serves as a trap to
patch cutworms that are so destruc-
IU IUC 9rUUIIK9 Ul vine Livua. i
A circle of lettuce should be planted
tive to the seedlings ot vine crops,
. around the hills of cucumber, canta-
loupe, and similar vine cro'ps.
The success with melons often
depends on the care giver) the plants
when they are small. Keep the
crust broken around the young setd-
lings. The ground should be culti
vated between the hills at least once
a week. Stirring- the soil immediate
ly around the plants is especially
important. . If the weeds are kept
down and watering is thorough the
,. pantvwill grow rapidly . at this
time.
,- The vines will "soon begin to run
ni : all directions, 'and when they
nearly cover the ground hoeing will
' have to be discontinued. At. this
t stage, usually late in July, they
should be handled carefully in mak
; hig the last 'cultivation between the
rfews. Lay them over out of the
L middle and give the ground a shaN
low cultivation;
If properly cared for the . melons
"I should be ripe in August, and bear
' ing should continue until frost kills
.' the vines.

HOUSE BULGING
IS HELD BACK BY
MONEY SCARCITY
Realtors See Serious Housing
Situation Here This Fall
As Result of Curbed
Credits?
A. T. Elmer, member of the ad
vertsing corrynittee of the real estate
board, and other realtors, believe the
money tightening that occurred six
Weeks ago is gonig to make the nous
bg shortage more serious this fail
than it was a year ago.
"I know of sejieral men," Mr.
Elmer told the committee last week,
"that intended building new apart
ment houses this year, but they
didn't build because about the time
they were ready to start money fe
came hard to get.
"Although the money market is
now beginning to lighten up, and
probably will be normal in anpther
month, it is too late for starting new
apartment houses this year.
"I simply mean that the demand
is growing, with no additions to the
supply of places to rent."
In spite of the growing shortages,
Mr. Elmer is opposed to any very
large increases in rents.
"My firm has recently lost some
clients by . refusing to handle their
property at the increases they were
demanding in' rents.
"A few ownerswill take advantage
of thest shortages and. make raises
in rents- that are not necessary in
order to meet their increased costs.
"Unless' considerable building of
homes is done by individuals, I an
ticipate a much m6re serious house
shortage than aj any previous time."
Mr. Elmer says several realtors
are advising their clients notB to
make excessive increases in rents.
W4dk Legged Chicks '
It is'comon for chicks only a few
days old to lose control of their
leg muscles. They are unable to
stand erect. At feeding time they
are tramped on, and either die or
fail to. grow properly, and are al
ways undersized. '
Leg weakness is believed to be due
to various causes, including indiges
tion, too much heat from improperly
ventilated hovers, something lacking
in the feed, and not enough exer
cise. . .
It has been noticed that with the
improvement of, outdoor conditions
the trouble is not so serious. It is
more dangerpus to overfeed young
chicks tham to underfeed them, es
pecially during wet weather when
-t . -. i i . . .
ch,c.ks,-.re. keptr,n os.e. c.n:
finement. Chicks confined to limited
space should not be given more feed
than they will clean up in a com
paratively shofj time. Meat scraps
and tankage are desirable and even
necessary 'for chicks, but such pro
tein feeds should be given with great
care. Experts claim too much feed
of this kind may cause stiff legs
and twisted necks. '
Leg weakness usually can be pre
vented. For the chtcxs kept ip the
back yards of the ctty or suburban
homes there probably is no better
practice thait to keep pieces of grass
sod and hard coal ashes in the runs.
K overfeedlnor is avoided and the
Nchicks are forced to exercise regu
larly, leg weakness will give little
trouble. '' :
""Leg weakness improves rapidly

'Setting Hens
Hens that have not been set b
the first of June should be put back
in the laying pen. This is usually
a troublesome season in the laying
pens for most poultrymen, for many
times a third or more of the hens
are broody and consequently fall in
the class of !, nonproducers. Hens
that are bropdy do not pay their
feed bill. ' . . .
-Broody hens should be broken of
the habit of remaining on the nest
as soon as possible, ..for they will
not lay. The sooner tr is done
the sooner they will go back to lay
ing. Various methods have been
tried in an attempt to break the hen
of her broodiness, but none have
been found that is so simple and
effective as the old fashioned system
of confining them to a small coop
where there is no nest. A coop
raised off the ground and one with a
slat bottom is the best. Straw or
other nesting material should be
kept out of the coop. Some with
hold feed from them while they are
confined but this is not necessary.
Plenty of fresh water should be kept
in the coop and a week or ten days
of such confinement will usually
break the average hen.
As soon as she is 'released from
the cpop' the hen should oe started
out on a regular laying ration, such
as the one recommended by pouliry
men of the Ohio university poultry
farm. For a scratch use three parts
corn, two parts wheat, and one part
oats. Give a light feed in the morn
ing and a , full feed at night. It
should be fed in a litter. Along with
this feed a dry mash made of corn
meal, four pounds; wheat mid
dlings, six pounds; wheat bran, four
pounds; meat scraps, four pounds;
oil meal, one pound; alfalfa meal,
one pound; charcoal, one - third
pound, and salt, one tablespoon. The
mash should be kept before the birds
all of the time, and in order to pre
vent the hens from scratching it out
and wasting it, feed should be fed
in a hopper. . Gren feed, such as
cabbage, mangels, grass clippings, or
similar plants, must be Riven freely.
Grit and oyster shell may be fed
in hoppers.
Fred L Heyn Opens Real
Estate Office of His Own
Fred L. Heyrt, who, after return
ing from the army, had office space
with the Benson & Myers Co.. has
taken rooms at 443 Omaha National
Bank. building. Mr. Heyn was as
sociated severaj years with the Ben
son & Myers Co. He became a
member of the Real Estate board
several months ago, going into busi
ness for himself, but until this
month was unable to obtain office
space.
Pasture Crop
When live stock and grain farm
ing are combined, as in the middle
west, a crop rotation which in
cludes a pasture crop is necessary.
No factor is so vital or gives so
much trouble as the management of
clover and grasses in the rotation,
"particularly clover.
Running too many animals on the
pasture is one of the most danger
ous practices on' grazing land of any
kind. The careful farmer never al
lows his live stock to. run in the pas
ture in the spring until the sod is
firm and the grass has made a good
start. . Patches rooted up by hogs
should be leveled down and re
seeded. Poor grasses and weeds may be
eliminated and clover and good
grasses substituted if the right kind
of plant food is applied. Nitrogen'
fertilizer is needed for grasses. It
stimulates the growth of Kentucky
bluegrass, while potash and. phos
phoric acid tend to bring back
clover. Since clover .is desired,. the
fertilizer should be rich in potash
and phosphoric acid. From 200 to
400 pounds to the acre is a profitable
amount for top dressing pastures.
It is best to spread, it on the ground
when the grass turns green in- the
spring. ,
A fertilizer containing 12 per cent
phosphoric acid and 4 per cent nitro
gen is recommended for a pasture on
a sandy loam soil. For a loam soil
a fertilizer with 2 per cent less nitro
gen is about right, while on a clay
soil phosphoric acid alone is most
profitable,

TJie Evans hospital of Columbus,
Neb., recently awarded to Home
Builders, Inc., of Omaha, the con
tract for the $150,000 Evans Hospf
tal building. Grabe & Helleberg,
architects.
W. Boyd Jones, manager of the
Home Builders construction depart
ment, says that work has already
been started, the foundations and
basement being well under way. ,
Is Three Story Building.
The building is to be constructed
entirely of reinforced concrete and
brick. It will be three stories in
height exclusive of basement. -.
The placing of all administrative
offices, emergency wards, X-ray
laboratory, kitchen and garage, with
ambulance approach on the first
floor, allows use of the second and
third floors for patients.
Site Declared Ideal.
On 'aC commanding site, the hospi
tal is removed from the noises of
business and traffic, with nothing to
impede free access of sunshine and
ventilation.
Colonial in style, the exterior of
the building is to be finished in oak-
bark vari-colored brick, with terraj
coito sins, oeit courses, and cornice.
The interior finish will be simple in
characterr
The hospital will: be under the
personal direction of the Drs. Evans
of Columbus.
Onion Maggot
Tobacco dust is a simple and 'ef
fective remedy for controlling the
onion maggot. This pest is perhaps
the most destructive insect to
onions in this section. It often de
stroys the entire bed or field and is
becoming a serious drawback to the
raising of onions. f
The onion maggot livs on the
bulbs, and causes subsequent decay.
It does its destructive wok beneath
the surface, beginni ng on the young
seedlings soon after they start
growing. There is no entirely sat
isfactory means of combating it. A
preventive measure is .the rotating
of vegetable crops so the land will
not be planted to onions more than
once in three years.
Trouble may be expected from
the onion maggot during the next
few weeks or longer, for two or
three generations may be expected
during the growing season. The
orion maggot, like those of the
cabbage, corn, radish and turnip,
hatches from eggs deposited by
flies resembling the house fly but
smaller. '
The stems and leaves of tobacco
pulverized into a dust and scattered
close to the onion plants form a
cheap common remedy. This has
not always given satisfactory re
sults. It has been found the flies
like sheets about as well as the or
dinary house fly, and poison baits
have been prepared to kill the flies
when they come to lay their eggs
on the young plants.
The arsenate bait is considered
most effective. It is made by dis
solving one-fifth of an ounce of
sodium arsenate in a gallon of boil
ingwater and adding a pjnt of
cheap molasses. This amount will
be sufficient for the average onion
bed in a small garden.
If there is no danger of poisoning
poultry, the bait may be applied in
large, scattering drops. However,
the best plan is to put the bait in
four or'five small pans or can lids
and scatter them over the onion
bed. Keep the pans supplied with
bait until the danger is past. To
make it safe for poultry the pans
should be covered with screen of a
mesh too small foe bees to enter,
but coarse enough so the flies can
set -..

PEAS
The pe'a is a member of that
I;
amily of plants known as the
egumes, which by means of nodules
on the root.gather nitrogen from
the air to enrich the soil. This has
given rise to "the erroneous belief
of many gardeners that ground on
which peas are raised will not need
manure or other fertilizers. This
is wrong. The plant adds nitrogen
to the soil, but it takes large quan
tities of phosphoric acid out of the"
soil.
Peas as a rule do best when plants
ed early in spring while the ground
is cool and moist. They never do
well in hot weather. They do not
even come up well if planted in hot,
dry soil. Smooth peas should be
planted as early as possible. With
the present late season there is still
time left to plant them.
Wrinkled peas are larger, tender
er, and of better quality than the
smooth varieties. They should be
planted before hot weather. Peas
need a fairly rich soil, but it must
not be too rich or they will run
to vines. This is also true if they
are raised in a shady place.
When planting has been delayed,
as this season, gardeners have found
it wise. to scatter a small quantity
of nitrogen fertilizer on the oil to
give the peas a quick start. The
nitrogen manufacturing bacHeria do
not begin work until the soil warms
up..
An application of acid phosphate
is especially important on the soil
for peas, as a lack of this element
often limits their growth. Good peas
are always1, well filled and plump.
The filling and plumping is aided
greatly if potash is appied along
with phosphoric acid, as- the plants
are hardened off, v especially the
pods, and this makes tnem more
resistant to diseases,
i The common practice is to scatter
bits of the garden fertilizers, usually
a 3-10-2, over the ground about a
week before planting. The young
pea plant is extremely tender and
easily injured if kept in contact with
either manure or fertilizer for any
lengtlTof time.
