Park Board two additional tracts of land along
| Herring rung have been purchased by the
| Board for $2l ,005. 10 from Grace Turner and
| others and will be utilized as soon as possible
for public suburban parks. The first of these is
| located on the Hartford road, near the run, and
contains 284 acres the second is on the Belair
road near Herring run, and comprises 1924
acres.
General Latrobe says that the Board could
not think of building parks upon these sites
until after the passage of another park loan,
and that the purchase was merely the consum-
nation of negotiations which Major Venable
entered into last spring before retiring from
the Board. At present the tracts will be al
lowed to remain as they are, but as soon as
sufficient funds are raised work will begin
transforming them into handsome parks.

Mr.. LEAFS Method of Seeding Alsike.-
Mr.. Thomas J. Lea, manager of the Sheppard
and Enoch Pratt Farm, near Towson. writes
us as follows
Seeing the notice that THE UNION had been
called down about farmer sowing only z
lbs of alsike clover per acre, will answer that
/ have used only alske on this farm for the
last seven years. The rule is to SOW II lbs of
timothy and lbs of alsike, cdretattty n1tIed.
Then put in with drill at seeding time in the
fall. The last two years our clover has crowd
ed the timothy so badly that we are using only
5 lbs. alsike in the mixture this fall. The hay
crop has been very satisfactory. All the above
refers to corn land seeded to grass. Have not
seeded any fallow land to wheat and grass for
over twenty years."
