EARTH HOUSES
Sir,-I have read with considerable interest the articles in your paper by R. Ammer, Wellington, on building with earth, and the correspondence arising out of them, Some of your readers may be interested to know that the. subject is very expertly dealt with by Ronald Duncan,:in his book, Home-Made Home, published by Faber and Faber, London. Duncan has experimented very successfully on his farm in Cornwall! and is not afraid of pointing out the snags as well as the advantages of such methods of building. It is passing strange in days when the housing shortage is acute in so many countries that Governments have not paid more attention to the possibilities of building in this way, if only as a temporary measure, Perhaps New Zealand will set the pace as:it has done in so many other directions. °
