well as anotner on top of the ground- each of them is capable of f ceding aeveral thousand em- poyeos en a scientific and efficient one of the problems in connection with this factory was the supply of labor the number of w at band was limited- this has been ov by bringing workers there tfi large numbers of buses and by buddmg dotettttortes and nouses the oosraftorics are made up of single and doable rooms compact but well fur- sashed and comfortable the buu4- tstgs are of stone or bnck and appear ed to be fireproof and wfitrt the h some of which we were shown through are small but bright and comfortable and planned to make the most of every bit of space tbe are certainly a big hnprovetnent on the average workmans home we also visited aircraft factories aircraft engine factories and other munition factories one morning ue arrived nt one of these factories the entrance wasl not ver impressive in fact it look- d more bke some residential flats than a iactor yet we spent most of the day going from building to building lo see various operations in tirogress a fine lunch was served to us in the executive offices the ex act number of employees cannot be tttien but u was in the tens

makeup ulnucsillj enough to look pretty rather than like paast kara and ju shonkl b a vvr large proportion of the workers are women many of them doing jobs that tt wa once thought could only be done by men before the war these women were hair dressers barmaids waitresses school teachers shop assistants domestics nnd workers in smaller industrial plants- others had never worked be fore some of the machinery in this fac tor made in the united states but much of it bore toameplates of british firms the general appearance and opera tion of this and other factories is about the same as in similar factories in canada and the united states however closer study shows that op erations are probably more broken down and acattered than on this side of the atlantic there u a good ma son for this in using so many work era with little experience in their particular work it was easier to teach them one simple operation than it wduld have been to teach them to handle a complicated machine which uould do aeveral operations at once the system is also more flexible if home part is knocked out by enemy action or otherwise the entire- pro duction will not be stopped these factories are unexcelled for precision of ctntuunanshlp and their production targets are continually be ing sxteded this la coins to be a big factor in over the hun ialaat wpot are tnat the germans ur n over the superiority of tlw nnfttab in prec and quantity adapted seeds mixture at the rate of 3 to 4 pnmt per ijooo square feet according to the thinness of the turf after the seed has been uniformly acattered over the

then onry fan districts w frost has caused heaving the rottlnc should be done after tne frost is out off the ground and before the soil be comes too dry- heavy eous never be rrollod when very wet proper fertilization fat n very im portant part of the lawn ance program the chief demand off the grass bdng for nitrogen turf requires the application of phos phorus and sometime potash us well as nitrogen a recent order of the wartime prices and trade hoard prohibits the sale off fertilizers con taining chemical nitrogen for use on there is too restriction on the use of organic fertilizers as yet and these may be used on lawns with itlsfaetory results the lndiscriin- inate use of fertilisers on turf is not recommended because as much as possible of the available fertilizer should be reserved for food produci iff a lawn u in t vigorous healthy condition fertilization may be greatly reduced or eliminated with out injuring it seriously lawn own ers who do not object to white clover may encourage tt by the application off phosphoric and potasslc fertlttzersl and in some cases lime a high pro portion off clover in the lawn will re duce the amount of nitrogen that it is necessary to apply in order to main tain healthy grass the best time to apply fertilizer in the spring is just before the grass starts its new- growth lawn mowers should be repaired and sharpened well in advance of the growing season mowlnje should start early and at o time should a long heavy growth or grass be permitted cutting back such a growth always gives the grass a severe setback the grass should never be cut to a height of less than one inch a heght of m to 2 inches is much to be prefer red particularly during the warmer months in first great war ahhowjb mat an bag a meaerr as it la
