Farmers Institutes In Southern
Maryland.

The annual meetings of the Farmers
Institutes of the Maryland Agricultural
College, under the supervision of the
new Director, Richard S. Hi, will
this wear be held first in the Southern
Counties of the Western Shore.
On Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 9Th
and 9th, the Pennsylvania railroad will
provide a special train to be used by
the Department of Farmers Institutes
from Bowie in this county, to Popes
Creek, in Charles County, for the pur-
pose of holding Institutes at the diff
ferent Stations. This plane brings the
Institutes in close touch with a ~large
number of farmers, and while as much
work cannot be done at one place as
if an entire day were given, yet many
suggas lions can be given to larger
num,er of farmers This train service
will include two night meetings, one
at Upper Marlboro, in the hall and
one at La Plata where illustrated
lectures will be given on poultry and
other subjects. Day Institutes will fol-
low at Harris Lot on December Z, Leon
ardtown the 8sh, Prince Frederick tne
9Th, and Annapolis the 10th.
Governor Crothers has made arrange
ments to be present and make addresses
at Leonardtown, Prince Frederick
and Annapolis. The well known views
of the Governor in reference to Country
life and it's conditions should appeal to
the community through which the
meetings are to be held, especially in
Calvert County where the Governor
will visit for the first time.
The Chesapeake Beach will run its
first Institute Special through
Prince Georges, Anne, Arundel and
Calvert Counties stopping at Ritchie
and Browns Dec. 18th, and Lyons
Creek and Owings on Dec. 18th. The
workers who will accompany the Dlrec-
ter are al well trained in their respec-
tive lines and are men who have made
success at home The following sub
jects will be treated: Hay and Pasture,
Grasses, Alfalfa, Corn and Wheat,

Deceit
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser., 1910-12-02

At midnight Saturday night the new
Pennsylvania Railroad station in New
York city was thrown open for busi-
ness, through trains passing regularly
under the Hudson river. Passengers
canJnow alight in the heart of the
metropolis without change for the first
time. This is so much an age of won
ders that it is difficult to realize the
magnitude Of this undertaking, which
is practically without parallel in any
country or any period of time. The
work on the tunnels was begun on
June 10, 1903, and the work on the
Pennsylvania station was started May
/, 1904, SO thst six years and seven
mon tbs have been consumed in carry
ing out the latter task.

A Limited Parcels Post

Admitted parcels post for the rural free
delivery routes will be recommended
by Postmaster General Hitchcock in his
forthcoming annual report. In an
nouncing this the Postmaster General
foresees the establishment of general
parcels post throughout the country
as soon as the postal savings system
is thoroughly organized.
A rural parcel post Of the kind pro-
posed, if successfully conducted, pro-
baby would lead the department to at
tempt a more general system. Mr..
Hitchcock believes, however, that be-
fore the parcel service is extended to
the whole country definite information
should be obtained as to the nature
handled. He accordingly urges that
in conjunction with the experiment on
rural routes, a further inquiry be
authorized by Congress in order that
the department may be in better
position to develop the system on con-
servative lines. He recommends, that
a special appropriation for the inquiry
be granted at the coming session.
AS preliminary step in the develop,
ment of such service, Mr.. Hltchcock
will ask Congress to authorize the de-
livery on rural routes of parcels weigh
ing as high as II pounds, which is the
weight limit for the international parce
post. This form of service, it is main
tained, can be conducted with little, il
any, additional expense to the govern
ment. 1t will not require the appoint
ment of more carries, for those already
employed have the necessary equip
ment is the way of horses and wagons
! to distribute the parcels, as well as the
ordinary mail Rarely is the latter o
sufficient volume to take up more thar
a small portion of the mail space in the

GREAT SALT LAKE.
An Immense Fresh Water Sea Some
Thousands of Years Aoo.

In glacial times Great Salt lake was
4 magnificent fresh water lake the size
of Lake Huron-that is, about $4,000
square miles-and had its outlet into
the Port Neuf, the Snake and the Co
lumbia rivers. This was at least 10000
years ago, but since that time the eli
mate has become arid, and not enough
water has fallen over the Great basin

Consequently the lake hns ceased 10
1ow from its outlet and gradually dried
up from over thousand feet deep to
fifteen feet and from $4,000 square
miles In area TO less than LOO.
Ii Is now seventy miles long and
about thirty wide. but Is beautiful
still and Is the home OF myriads Of
sea birds and other waterfowl. Ii Is

1000. .O00, 900 tons of salt.
When the lake is high the salt is SO

weather, such as will enable the
streams to carry off the waters with
out a great rush. That there is some
danger must be admitted, and now
is the time for the authorities of
every city that is threatened or like
