One of the very un~ise not to say foolish
results of the interest in trottng develop
ment, aided most probably by local preju-
dice, is the building of two half mile race
tracks in the town of Lyman in York County
The horsemen in tina, town wanted track
but split upon the question Of location. A.
no arrangement could be made two tracks are
now being built within half a mile Of each
other. one by each rival faction. As proba-
bly, one track in that town would be more
than sufficient for all the trotting that will
ever be done there, and as there are already
three or four other tracks in that county, il
is plain to see that one or the other of these
new track. must ere long be abandoned
after the expenditure of good deal Of time
and money. 1t is a pity to have local rival
ries result in such a foolish waste Of effort
and contribute so alsrmingly to unfriendly
feeling.

1t is exceedingly rare to ind 1 public
journal which dsapproves of liberal ex
penditures for the agricultural interests in
State or nation. The New York Sun 10 one
of these exceptions, as it severely criticises
Secretary Rusk for asking an increased ap-
preparation for his Department for the mex:
fiscal year. This additional increase 10 to
make available more clerks and experts.
more money for the library and museum Of
his Department, and for studying and re-
porting the cattle markets and diseases Of
live stock in the country. Secretary Rusk's
ideas are in the line of the advanced work
which his Department is doing. the addition
al sum asked for is moderate when the
vastly increasing demands of the Depart
ment for expert work are considered, and
they tend toward the more thorough educa-
lion of the farmer. Congressman who re-
gard the interests of their constituents ia shis

Rusk's appeal solid support.
