HOME IMPROVEMENT AT SYRA- 

 CUSE, N. Y. 



Last year the Chamber of Commerce 

 inaugurated the plan of offering money 

 prizes to the occupants of small houses 

 for the best kept lawns and surround- 

 ings, and general appearance of the 

 place from June 1st to Oct. 1st. !t 

 was a great success, many entering 

 the contest and the influence was so 

 marked and so much good accom- 

 plished, that this year the prize list is 

 greatly enlarged and is as follows: 

 Three first prizes of twenty dollars, 

 three second prizes of ten dollars and 

 seven third prizes of five dollars in 

 each class. Class A is for homes as- 

 sessed at $800 or less, class B for 

 homes assessed at $800 to $1,200, and 

 class C for homes assessed at $1,2"00 

 to $2,000. 



The judges will consider appear- 

 ances throughout the season, care tak 

 en. and the freedom of back yards 

 from rubbish and unsightly buildings. 



The committee is composed of Prof 

 J. A. Shea, chairman. W. P. Baker, 

 P. A. Burton. G. H. Clark and E. M. 

 Kotz. To Prof. Shea must be given 

 the credit of starting the movement, 

 he has done a great work, improvinn 

 the homes in the neighborhood of 

 Lincoln School, of whjch he is prin- 

 cipal. . 



The Pierce Arrow Motor Car Co., of 

 Buffalo, N. Y., are building new shops 

 in that city, and are installing window- 

 opening machinery throughout. The 

 interesting part of this to the average 

 grower is the comparison of the num- 

 ber of ventilator machines, fittings, 

 etc., that go into this job, and in the 

 ordinary sized greenhouse. There are 

 1490 sash that ventilate in this new 

 automobile plant and it requires 29S0 

 arms and rods, and 1.3.'j machines lo 

 operate them. One inch and 1 14-inch 

 shafting is used throughout and, to 

 support this shafting, 1940 hangers are 

 required. A special gear box and 

 driving device were designed for this 

 job, but with a view toward green- 

 house needs, however, and it has been 

 suggested that we may see some of 

 this new vent machinery in the mam- 

 moth houses of glass which the King 

 Construction Company are building.
