REsssy 70 srAar PENINSULA rAaas

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company
has decided : to establish experimental
farms all along the Delmaryia Peninsula,
and to place in charge Of these farms the
very best farming talent which can be Sc
cured. President McCrea has determin.
ed that the railroad shall take its part OF
the responsibility for the cultivation of
the farming and trucking lands OF the
peninsula.
The object OF the railroad company is
TO demonstrate. to farmers and truck
ers the best and most profitable crops TO
grow on their different lands, and to es-
tablish closer union with the farmers
and truckers OF the Peninsula, TO confer
with them as TO the best crops to grow
and to help them in the selection of the
beet markets for the shipment of their
produce.
These experimental farms are to be es-
tablisbed as follows: One on the Della
ware Division, one ON the line of the
Baltimore, Chesapeake and Atlantic Rail-
way, one on the line of the MARYLAND,
ON the New York, Philadelphia and Nor
folk Railroad. Il is the intention of the
Pennsylvania Railroad to purchase good
farms and establish thereon the best ex-
perts in She different lines of agriculture.
The corps OF experts will be composed OF
men WHO can give the best advice as to
the kind Of crops the different soils will
best produce, as to plant and the way to
plant them, as TO fruits, berries and grain
crops, add the best kind of fertilizers to
use and the best methods OF cultivation;
in fact these farms will be ct the disposal
OF the farmers and for their information.
President McCrea is of the opinion
that there ara hundreds Of Thousand OF
acres Of land on she peninsula which
are not producing what nature intends
them TO produce aud that these farms
should, within few years, 30 educate
the people along the more improved lines
10 increase the output OF produce and fruits
enough to cause the railroads to double
their train capacity Of the present time. q
A party OF railroad people, consisting Of
the Delaware division, Superintendent
Rodgers, of the New York, Philadelphia
and Norfolk Railroad; Snperintendent
Polk, of the Baltimore. Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railway, and the Maryland,
Delaware and Virginia Railway, and
other Pennsylvania officials ere making
close inspection OF al the farms along
the lines Of all the divisions. They are
accompanied by w. T. Allen, OF Sails
bury. aud Orlando Harrison, Of Berlin,
expert farmers. Ii Is thought that these
experimental farms win greatly benefit
