Waynesboro. Va, January 15.-On
Monday, January 10. actual work was
started on the grading OF ten miles
of macadam road leading southeast
Ward from Waynesboro on the right
of way of the first graveled road in
Augusta county. which old road was
built eighty-siX years ago in pursu-
lature, passed March S. 1924, and
which road passed over the Blue Ridge
Mountains over u grade of some / 2

the grains of tho Valley to the sea

road has become impossible,
The State Highway Commissioner of
Virginia has selected as q new location
the temporary track of the Virginia
Central Railroad. which in the late
Titles operated q narrow gauge rail-
road over the mountain during the

1porary track has a maximum grade
every hundred feet and Is to-day In
tact. and with increased width will
be made serviceable for the macadam,
and this road will be again main
thoroughfare for traffic between these
prosperous and growing sections of

MUCH Be TER CORN
AN D MORE OF IT
That Seems to Be the Watcllword
All Over Old Virginia
To-Day.
GOOD WORK IS. APPRECIATED
Times-Dispatcll's Effort to Awak-
en- Greater Interest in Corn
Culture Brings Fruit.
GOOD WORK is. APPRECIATED
BY FRANK s. wooDsON,

II lLsAGNN etNOODSON,
The Times-Dispatch really did not
know how wisely 1t was building when
about year ago it1started a move
ment TO create a greater interest in
the matter OF corn-growing in vir-
GINA. OF course. The Times-Dispatch
knew that the lands OF old Virginia
could grow the best corn in the world,
and somehow 1t believed that II the
farmers OF the old State would give
strict attention to the best methods
aof corn culture and the best methods
OF seeding corn and producing from
drst-class seed and all that kind OF
thing. the time was near at hand when
Virginia would break the records OF
the Western States, or any other
States, In the matter of corn growing,
but really it did not have a super
abundance Of faith in its ability to
stir the corn growers. and the far
mers generally, up to realization of
their advantage and do it in the
short space Of year.
The Times-Dispatch did believe, and
did think, that In time Virginia far
Smers would wake up to realization
of their possibilities. but it hardly
expected them to do It In so short
time.
More Than Expected.
AS a matter OF fact, this paper
thought that the plan it set on foot
to induce a big exhibit of corn at
the State Fair would be but starter.
None who attended the State Fair
were more surprised at the wonderful
corn exhibit than the people OF The
Times-Dlspatch establishment,
That exhibit brought out as was.
never brought out before the possl-
bilities of Virginia as q commanding
State, and the thing that Is most to
be reiolced over Is that tho exhibit
and the good things that have been
told about3it have aroused IN interest
In ccrn-mak1ng that was never before
known OF In Virginia.
Great Big Side Shows.
4 District corn shows and county corn
shows have been held since then In.
various parts of the state, and they do
say that some Of these exhibits have
really "out-exhibited" The Times Dis
patch Corn King show at tho State
Fair, The Time dispatch has several
letters from good friends who have
attended these county exhibits. In
exhibit" and then, as If to kinder
apologize to this paper they add that
they could never have gotren UP such
exhibits had 1t not been for tho pace
that The Times-D Dispatch set. Good
enough. The apology was not ncces-
sary, Tho object Of this paper was
to encoura ge scorn-growing in Virginia.
II It has done that 1t is happy. and 1t
would rejoice to know that every
county and district exhibit since the
date OF the State Fair has been a
continuous Improvement on that ey-
hthit. Al I ii

OYSTERMEN
TO WASHINGTON
Will Attend the Hearing on
March 2.
THE DATE IS CHANGED
Secretary Wilson Will Hear Oyster
men of Jersey on End
of March.

Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
notified the New Jersey oystermen that
the date of the nearing of the protest
against the order of the pure food com. i.
missioner against laying out of oysters,
has been changed from next Monday to
Tuesday, March 2nd.
The Cumberland County oystermen,
vitally interested in the matter, will
make demonstration before the Sec.
retary that should prove impressive.
These Cumberland County oystermen,
shippers, planters, boatmen, all realize
that unless the order of the Commits
sioner is reversed, that their great
business. their property, their liveli-
hood is all wiped out and that millions
OF dollars worth of property will have
practically no value.
The association of Maurice River
oystermen will have their case pre-
sented to the Secretary by Walter H.
Bacon, who has an intimate knowledge
OF the industry and all pertaining to it.
Oystermen who have followed the bust
ness for years will give testimony be-
fore the Secretary, showing him the
entire business in detail. Oysters will
be taken along and the benefits of
drinking" bivalves will be demon.
strated.
1t is not unlikely that fully seventy
hve or one hundred oystermen will
visit Washington, attend this hearing
and show the very great interest in the
matter that is felt.
AT the same time the oystermen of
Atlantic County and those in Ocean
County Will visit Washington and at
tend the hearing.

about g. 80 o'clock.
Mcintyre had been drinking Monday

between four and five o'clock he came

at the time, but his little daughter, a
girl about IL years old, was at home.
He laid down on the couch, saying
to his daughter. I'm going to take a
long sleep and I don't want them to
bury me for six days. = 1 don't want
you to wake me up
This frightened the little girl and
she went for her aunt, Mrs. Harley
Garwood.
Mrs. Mcintyre arrived soon and find

she became alarmed also. and calling
in other neighbors efforts wereEmade.
to awaken him. but without avail, and
doctor John G. Loper was called by

laudanum poisoning. He remained
with the man, until l. 30 this morning
at which time he left him in an i'm.
proved condition.
Among others who stayed all night
with the man were baggage master
William Fl. Mires and Mrs. Mires.
Everything possible was done for
him, but about an hoar after DR.,

Mrs Mcintyre said this morning that

Mr. Bacon pointed out the fact that

MUCH MONEY
FOR NEW GAME

Newark ws:-Something like
SIS. 900 has been expended by the Fish
and Game Commission for hardy
young birds that are to be liberated in
this State in the coming Spring. OF
these 1000 will be English pheasants
and 1000 Hungarian grouse They
will cost about So each and will be
specially selected, of an age to mate
and hatch young, and the supposition
is that when next November arrives
there will be 5000 old birds and sbout
30, 900 young ores, unless the number
killed by hawks, caught by foxes or
destroyed by other predatory animals.
That will be an average of about one
bird for each of the 55, 900 licensed
gunners, not counting the parents and
progeny of the birds left over from
last years cunning The game birds
in the States have very little show these
days The pretty quail, one of the
most useful birds living. is about done
for, and the imported pheasant and
grouse can never take and wholly fill
Bob Whites place, And in the face
of all the facts there are those who
want to repeal the gunner's license law
and let the taxpayers pay the $1S, 900
above referred to. together with all
the other costs and expenses of the
Game Commission.

EDITORS MEET.

The semi-annual meeting of the New
jersey Editorial Association was held
in Trenton on Monday last. Among
other things the Association favored
legislation regulating the publication
of railroad timetables ana some impor-
tant changes in the libel law, Resolu-

strictly cash basis was best for rail-
road magazine and all other forms of
advertising.

Walter H. Bacon, Esq, appeared be-
fore Council. and for a time interested
the members with statement showing
the work of the Park Commission and
what had heen accomplished by way
of improving the property.
The address by Mr. Bacon which was
a plain, business like statement of
facts, was brought about by the recon-
mendation of the Commission to Coun-
Gil for building of two concrete bridges
over the Raceway. AS Mr.. Bacon
put it. he was present last night to
with the members in an i'm
portant matter.
Mr.. Bacon explained to Council the
necessity of the bridges, as the present
structures were considered in a dan
gerous condition, and had been re-
paired and pat,hed until it was impos
sible to do more.
Mr.. Bacon explained that the bridges
desired would cost the city S3346.
This Mr. Bacon explained, was more
money than the Commission had and
the suggestion was presented to Coun-
ell to help in the matter.
Mr.. Bacon then took some little time
in presenting figures from the books of
the Comptroller. showing that in the
years since the Park has been owned
by the city it has cost for its mainten-
ance and operation less than $1,000
year. Mr.. Bacon, himself had been
greatly surprised with the small ex-
