Didn't Have Much to Say on the CUES
ton AT the last meeting of the Junior Gun
power Agricultural Club the principal subject
for discussion was: what are the effects fol
good or evil upon the Eastern farmer from ths
The members had little say on the question
and the general opinion was that they knew
little about it except what they read in thu
papers.
Mr.. Upton H. Tarbert said: eve have hac
some experience with the combination undel
the name of the United Milk Producers As
ISOLATION and found some benefit from it
whilst with many there was an i'll effect Eve
since the trust failure the price of milk ha!
been good. 1t is acknowledged, though, tina
cheap milk cannot be produced, owing to th'
high price of feed. We pay no more for Goa
oil than we would have to pay If there was ~
Standard Oil Company. II gets rid OF the mid
dIeman, the oil is handled cheaper and we ge
the benefit. Our machinery can be bought
reasonable figures"
Mr.. e. E. Scott said 1--WE are getting on
machines cheaper now, owing to the factorie
running all the time"
abroad at lower figures so as to get rid OF tn
machines or implements on hand and keel
men employed. We are not approached by a
MANY agents since the combination OF th
harvester companies. We can buy binde
for $l15 and the repairs of several machine
and implements can be bought at one place
We can get what we need more directly. Tn
lessening of the expense OF manufacture ant
distribution is an advantage to the farmer"
To Extend Electric Line.-The Baltimor
San says it is reported that the United Railway
and Electric Company contemplates running
its Charles street line out Charles street exten
ded, instead of out st. Paul street. from Twenty
fifth street, as at present. The Johns Hopkin
University authorities are said to have reques
ted the change in order to make direct con
nectiou with Homewood, the new home o
the university.
Residents on St. Paul street differ in thei
views as to the desirability of the change
With the extension of st. Paul street from
Thirty first street to Merryman's lane. it is ex
pected that the street will become boulevar!
! and the idea is being advanced that for thl
| reason it would be desirable to have the track
| off the street. On the other hand, the argu
ment is made that the removal of the track
would hinder the development of property. :,
The charter especially provides that nc rail
| way tracks can be laid on ST. Paul street, be
| tween Baltimore street and the city limits ex
cept where tracks are already laid. As it
| said to be the purpose of the United Railway
| and Electric Company to run out to Merry
mans lane and thence TO Roland Park, tn
| only available route is by way of Charles stree
| avenue, unless the st Paul street provision
repealed by the Legislature.
