The bureau of Plant Quarantine and Entomology of the Dept. of Agriculture, has perfected treatments that keep tiny thrips from ruining Gladiola blooms, it worked them out by subjecting the bulbs to various treatments, planting the bulbs in a large field at the experimental station at Beltsville, MD, and examining the plants as they bloomed. The bulbs were numbered and the records of the treatment they received before being planted. A record of the condition of the flowers on the plants from each bulb was also kept. These records showed that treating bulbs with naphthalene flakes - easily obtained at stores dealing in chemicals - killed all thrips present in the [..] the flowers are examined when they reach full [...] is noted and their size is measured, [...] the left and G.V.

Bureau of Standards puts ruge insulator through pressure tests. Washington, D.C., Nov. 30. H.L. Whitemore, (left), chief of the Engineering Mechanics section, National Bureau of Standards, and Dr. A.H. Stand, make a final check of the huge 1600[?] pound porcelain insulator before subjecting it to 2,180,000 pounds pressure in the Bureau's hydraulic jack. The insulator, one of the few of its size in existence, will serve as a base for a 640 foot mast at Radio Station WGY, Schenectady, New York. One of the insulators successfully stood the pressure to 800,000 pounds while the second broke when the pressure was boosted to 2,180,000 pounds. The hydraulic jack is capable of exerting 10,000,000 pounds pressure

Demountable employee housing.This brand new type of housing accommodation was developed through several intermediate steps and experiments in prefabrication, in answer to the TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority's) need for housing for temporary use on construction projects in remote localities. The scheme permits fabrication at a distance from the job (about 600 miles in this instance), thus reducing dependence on overtaxed accommodations at the construction project. After completion of the project, the demountable housing is quickly removed elsewhere. Some of the earlier TVA demountables have been moved three times from project to project. The design shown here is particularly light in weight due to full use of the recently developed stressed-skin system of plywood construction. It is built largely of weatherproof plywood. The large bay across the front greatly enhances the size of the living room. The trailer houses, on the basis of experience to date, are entirely competitive in cost with traditionally constructed housing of the same floor area. On account of being constructed in shops rather than in the field, they are produced with much closer tolerances, considerably better finish, and with equipment designed and constructed with greater detail and superior utilization of space
