Washington, Oct. 2.-Arthur Goss,
director Of the agricultural experiment
station at Lafayette, has forwarded to
the department of agriculture a report
Of the activities of that station during
the last year. He mentions that the
stations new building has been COM
pleted, and express es pride in the fact
that he has the largest building in the
United States exclusively devoted to
experiment station work.
In telling of what the station accom-
plished the last year, he says: THE
Investigation Of rust was actively pro-
secuted and a large amount of mater
ial and data were collected from diff
ferent parts of the country. The life
histories of a number of species were
worked out. The work on hog cholera
was along lines approved by the con-
ference of department and station vet
erinarians held at Ames, la. The vir-

weeks ago she married Lester Metz of
Leesburg, youth about her own age,
The marriage was surprise to the
friends of both.
Miss Clyde was engaged to marry a
man she had kept company with for
many months. The man was not a
resident Of Milford. The date was set
for the wedding, and her relatives and
friends were at work on her wedding
trousseau.
Bantered Into Marriage.
Metz met the young woman in Mil
ford and bantered her to go to Warsaw
and be married. She agreed and
seemed to live happily. Metz left home
Monday on business and returned to
find his wife had packed her trunk
and left. She had taken nothing but
her own personal property. She had
not even taken the wedding gifts the
mother of her husband gave her
Mrs. Metz told a Leesburg teamstsr
that she was going to Goshen to buy
some goods, and was taking the trunk
with her to pack the goods in. She
left no note of explanation. AS far
as can be learned she said nothing to
her friends or relatives.
Mr. Metz found that she had left
the Winona interurban line at Milford
junction. Inquiry at the B. and o.
station there revealed that she had
bought ticket for Syracuse, N. Y,
Mrs Metz was we'll known in Elkhart
and KosciuskO county.

results Of rotation and other plant ex-
periments on the station farm. which
have been running about twenty years
are to be summarized. The breeding
experiments with wheat, corn and 9TH
er crops are being extended. Twenty
experiments carried on IN different
parts of the state indicated that win
ter barley is likely to be a good crop
for Indiana. Experiments with soy
beans with reference to seed produc-
ton gave relatively large yields. The
use OF soy beans to mix with corn is
increasing in the state. The use of al
falfa is also rapidly growing. Some
800 farmers are cooperating with the
station In experiments with different
crops. Crop rotation and fertilizer ex-
periments are being made in co-opera-
ton with the chemist in southwestern
and southeastern Indiana. In Hamil-
ton county the comparative efficiency
of corn cultural implements Is being
tested.
and forestry the experiments in spray
ing melons were continued in the re-
gion south of Vincennes. Increasing
attention is being given to the diseas-
es Of watermelons and cantaloupes.
The onion industry in the northern
part of the state is being investigated
as we'll as problems connected with
the canning and shipping Of tomatoes.
Experiments were undertaken with
pecan trees in southern Indiana,
where these nuts grow wild but have
not been cared for. The growing of
catalpas and black locusts is being
encouraged.
Animal Husbandry.
"In animal hustandry the expert
ments with beef cattle included (D
influence of age, (2) value of silage,

ton seed meal. and (4) long versus
short feeding periods. New lines of
work are experiments to determine
the requirements of brood sows and
the feeding of pigs from weaving time
up to $50 pounds on rations varying
from part middlings up to nearly all

THE present policy is to organize
the station business as far as possible

COMPANIES ENTER
PLEA OF DANGER
Fear of Derailment Given AS
Reason for Non-Equip-
ment With Tenders.

Danger Of derailment while traveling
at high rates OF speed is the formal OBJ
lection which the Washington, AleXan-
dria and Mt. Vernon Railway and the
Great Falls and Old Dominion Railway
Companies make to the carrying out of
the order issued by the District Elec-
tric Railway Commission that all street
cars operated in the District, other than
trailers, be equipped with automatic or
platform-opersted pickup tenders and
wheel guards not more than four inches
above the rails.
When the order went into effect No
vember 1 the companies refused to COM
ply with il and have not done $50 since.
Yesterday they were granted d hearing
before the District Electric Railway
Commission to explain why. Repre-
sentatives Of both companies were pres
ent and went into the details of the
proposition.
II was pointed out that the automatic
tenders and wheel guards are imprac-
ticable for suburban use, for the rea-
son that they would be forced down
close to the track on sharp turns, which
would result frequently in derailing the
cars.
The commission, IT is expected, will
make q decision within the next few
days, either modifying the order or re-
quirins that il be complied with by the
companies.
