TOM FITZGERALD
CONES IN FOR STRONG PRAISE
IN CONNECTION WITH THE
EXCELLENT FREIGHT SER
VICE OF THE q. AND o.

q
The average passenger does not see
much interesting in a string of
freight cars as they are whirled past
him on the road. but. to the shipper
and business man-and railroad man
generally--the rapid.moying freight
train has all the life and potency OF
the cablegram In the hands of those
unaccustomed to the novelty of ca
Diagrams.
I This is rapid age and saving time
In all directions is like the utilization
of waste products SO that nothing be
lost. consequently in the rapidly Of
to.day's pace Of life the fast freight
has its proper place. The B, and o.
management. fully alive to the needs
Of the hour, has placed in effect fast
schedules on the basis of sixty hours
between New York and Chicago and
provided the right sort of men and
materials to get best results from these
fast freight trains, with correspond.
ing rapid service for Cincinnati, st.
Louis and all prominent intermediate
points by means of dropping off and
picking up through cars. This system
permits such rapid filing of orders,
such, quick returns from sales, such
satisfaction of buyers that the power
full hish-class locomotives and air
brake freight trains are prominent
factors in the earning capacity of the
B. and o. and the alert soliciting
forces find most valuable ally for
increasing tonnage in the time record
the operating department of their
company has established with the
trains Of well-known numbers.
The travelling men from the East,
working through the Middle West,
Northwest and even to the Pacific
Coast, expect to be told by their Gus
timers Ship B. and o. 81" while
from the West to the East train "B.
and o. "a" is the magic number.
The iaconic announcement is made
at B. and o. headquarters from day to
day "All fast freight trains on time"
an achievement without parallel
and possible only because the entire
working force of this great system is
in sympathy with the aims of the
management and while tom" Fitz.
gerald, as General Manager, does not
personally see that there is no lost
motion with the long strings of freight
cars in the yards or on the road,
yardmau and trainmen work as If
he were looking on; and, as one. man
put it, They just naturally can't dis
appoint their best friend.v
With the freight and passenger
trains on time every day, the officials
of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
have every reason to feel proud of such
a good record. Credit for the estab.
lishment of this service is directly due
to the hard work and most efficient
management of Mr.. Thomas Fitzger-
aid. General Manager of the road, in
cooperation with Mr.. Geo. L. Potter,
third vice president, and head of the
operating department.

To Teach Boys How to Farm.

William L Amoss, director of the de-
partment of farmers institutes of the
Maryland Agricultural College. accom-
panied by Charles L. Goodrich, has been
before the Board of School Commission
ners of Carroll county with a proposition
to make the public schools of that county
the basis of test for an experiment,
having for its object the introduction of
a system If instruction in scientific farm
ing in all the public schools of the
state.
Mr.. Goodrich, who is a practical far
mer, from a scientific standpoint, and the
author Of valuable book on the subject,
gave the members of the board, some Of
whom ale prominent farmers. a detailed
outline of the plan proposed and also
told them some practical things about
scientific agriculture of which they had
not had previous knowledge
The plan, in brief, is this: During the
fall and spring terms MIR. Goodrich will
visit three of the schools in that CO unity
once every week and instruct the teach
ers and pupils of the sixth grades in
scientific methods of farming. Schools
convenient to farms using modern agri
cultural machinery will he selected, and
the pupils will be shown this machinery
its various uses will be explained. Then
the soil will be considered and the con-
ditions under which it will be best able
to pr"duce the different products raised
in farming; the best methods of p eparing
and Of planting the seeds, cultivating
after planting, where cultivation may be
necessary, and in fact. all the details es
sential to scientific farming.
In the interims between the fall and
sping terms the pupils Of the grade un-
der instruction will be required to ex-
pertinent by planting and cultivating farm
and garden products in pots and boxes
under the direction OF the teachers. The
experiment will be carried on without ex-
pense to- the school board, and will not
be tried IN any other county until it shall
have been thoroughly tested in that. The
proposition was accepted by the board.

Maryland and Virginia are now the only
states of this country where the tobacco
is bought by the French government by
contract; it was formerly also purchased
in this manner from the States Of Ken
lucky and Ohio, but the tobacco from
these latter states is now bought direct
ly by commissioners. who act in this
country for France. The Virginia tobac-
CO costs the. French government more
than the Maryland tobacco, as itais gener-
ally of higher quality.
1t is understood that should the tobac-
co of this state show up we'll this year
and the quality and color prove good the
present contract may be inc creased
