The American building advisor William A. Radford explains how a 36 by 40 foot eight room house can fit four bedrooms with downstairs living space. He notes that larger rooms add cost and may force downsizing to meet means, and praises well designed stairways for convenience and sanitation in a family home.
Editor A Radford argues that nonexperts should study architectural drawings to understand designs, roofs, stairs, and layouts. He stresses how roof style affects value, the importance of efficient plans, and how kitchen workspaces and access influence daily labor for households.
The pamphlet warns blue roobrot fungus as a rapidly spreading alfalfa disease likely to become highly destructive. It outlines infection begins in one plant then spreads outward by spores blown by wind, with a recommended control of frequent cutting and removing hay to reduce spore spread and protect new shoots.
Describes disease progression for alfalfa including leaf spot rust and downy mildew, noting signs such as yellowing leaves and fungal mats on roots, spread patterns, and the effectiveness of lime or sulfur treatments. Warns farmers and experiment stations to seek practical eradication methods, with examples from Iowa, Hunter's Island Kansas, and Tennessee outbreaks.
Guam will host an experimental station to investigate and encourage resources. Dr W H Evans of the office of experiment stations visited the island and selected Agana as the station site. The center will operate under the office's supervision with H I V Costenoble as agent in charge.
A collage of vintage ad lines and anecdotes appears, featuring kitchen starch claims for Defiance Starch, a Santa Claus disbelief by a boy, Castoria safety notice, a weather joke about rain, a party invitation, a bromide laxative slogan, a blue and white laundry product promise, and a quip about marriage to a boss.
