These great arsenals of the air

More than 29,000 parts go into

single Flying Fortress. Three and
a half Vntiles of electric wiring—
twice the length of the San Fran-

aluminuni| alloy tubing are re-
quired.
Five hundred designers must

Fortress is some 4,000 miles; top
speed in excesss of 250 miles an
hour.
The signifcance of these figures
is emphasized when they are com-
pared with airplane performance
in the World War. During tha
conflict, the maxiifmum airplane
tomb load was approximately 700
ton miles. Today it is well over
20,000 ton miles.
Plane engines ranged up to

LITTLE ROCK, Ark., June 2
—Home loans totaling $9,115,896
have been made since January 1st
by the 119 insured savings and
loan associations in Texas, the
Federal Home Loan Rank of Lit-
tle Rock reported today.
This is a gain of $404,501 over
the volume of lending done in the
same four months of la^t year
The loans thi° year were made to
4,040 Texans, as compared' with
4,400 made in 1940. The figures

Peas, Beans and Lupins,
Benefit from Bacteria
Peas, beans and lupins belong to
a family of plants known botanl-
( ally as legumes. They have the
unusual attribute of taking nitro-
gen from the air and secreting it
In the root* in little bumps easily
seen when the plant is pulled up.
These are usually referred to as
nodules. A special form of bacteria
performs the work for the legumes
of taking the nitrogen from the air.
In some toils these bacteria are
absent or deficient and it is neces-
sary to inoculate it with a culture
containing It. To accomplish this
the seed is treated before sowing.
To gain the maximum yield from
peas, beans and other legume*,
particularly In large plantings, the
seed may be Inoculated with nitro-
gen culture now commercially
avaikiVe and aold by all teed
hou" the cant containing com-
plete dirSSttai for Its use. The
various legumes require different
cultures, clovert and alfalfa
Ing legumet at well at peas and
beans. It would be an interesting
experiment for the home gardener
to plant a row of Inoculated peaa
and beam and another row wnieh
has not had the nitrogen inocula-
tion and note the difference in the
vigor end growth of the two row*
and the difference in the cropt har-
vested from the treated and ill-
treated rowt.

Saving? and Loan A sociation, by
which the local area is served.
Generally more loans are made
by the associations for the con-
struction of new homes than for
any other purpose, but the Bank
leported that in recent months
there has been a decline in thj
volume of loans of that character.
In the first four months of 1940,
<hc Texas associations made 1,-
4 SO loans totaling 79(5,954 for
the construction of new homes,
ana in the same period this year,
the numiber decreased to 1,177,
totaling $3,032,218, a decline of
$704,000 in that type of loan.
Apparently the interest of horns
ekers has shifted somewhat frotn
the construction of new homes to
th purchase of existing dwellings.
Since January 1st the associa-
tions made 1,394 loans totaling
$2,839,681 to assist Texans in
the purchase of homes already
constructed, whereas, in the same
period last year they made 1,058
loans totaling $2,007,4477 for
that purpo}e, being a gain for
19411. of $772,134. Other loans
totaling $599,792 were made to
593 borrowers for the repair and
improvement of old dwellings.

Gladiolut bulbt may be planted
until June 15 In our northern states
with reatonable assurance of get-
ting flowers before frott, and thia
assurance becomes a certainty
when bulbs of the prlmulinus type
are planted.
The primulinus varieties are not
to large as othert. They have
slender stems, and the flowers are
small, but they excel in daintiness
and in exqulalte coloring, espe-
cially in salmon shades. Some of
the salmon pinks in which they
abound are exquisite in the border,
planted in small groups, with blue
dowers as a foil. These bulbs in
mixture will always harmonize be-
cause all of them have a binding
touch of yellow in them.
The first primulinus gladiolus to
be sold in this country was distrib-
uted in 1908. It was a yellow. Thi!
color is rare among gladioli and It
was discovered that when this va-
riety was crossed with larger-flow-
ered varieties the seedlings result-
ing all had a touch of yellow. Ex-
tensive breeding experiments are
being carried on to produce these
desirable colors in larger flowering
varieties, but the primulinus hybrid
of the present is a very excellent
flower.

faded flowers are picked off there
will be fresh blossoms until the last
bud opens.
The primulinus type seldom needs
staking in the border, but the large-
flowered varieties are likely to need
support. Deep planting of the
bulbs will sometimes obviate this,
but deep planting is not advisable
in very heavy soil. From four to
six inches deep is the recommend-
ed practice, four inches in heavy
soil.
The gladioli need the full sunlight
and plenty of water if they are to
develop their best flowers, and they
should not be planted too closely.
Eight inches apart is close enough.
sault on Cyprus, last British
stronghold in the waters of the
eastern Mediterranean, as well as
Alexandria and the Suez canal,
the stubborn twelve-day British-
Greek defense was said to have
accorded the British valuable time
to strengthen their other middle-
eastern defenses.
Evacuate to Egypt.
The 15,000 battle-worn and bat-
tered British imperials evacuated
to Egypt were believed to include
only imperial Australians and New
Zealanders. There was no indica-
tion that the Greeks, possibly foui
divisions, had escaped.
(The British strength on Crete
had been estimated at between
30,000 and 50,000 troops and the
report of the evacuation of 15,000
seemed to indicate tremendous
casualties.)
Major Gen. Bernard C. Frey-
berg, leathery New Zealander in
command of the allied defense of
Crete, was believed to have gone
to Egypt with his forces.
