ties of Another Road.
rBy Telegraph 10 The Tribune

Baltimore, Sept. 15.-Severe charges
against the Pennsylvania Railroad manage
rient are made in a circular issued to-day
By a committee for Northern Central Rail
way stockholders, Of which committee \.
Z. Waters, of Townsend, Scott & Son, an

Il is alleged. in effect that the Pennsyl-
vana Railroad. which is in control of the

ally distracted from the latter's treasury
investment securities with a par value of
&, 100 and pledged them as part security
for the s4s000.00O loan obtained in Paris in
1N6. the proceeds of which went entirely to
the uses of the big corporation
on these and other grounds shareholders
Of the Northern Central are urged 10 re-
iect the proposition to come before them on
October A. This provides for a lease Of
the property to the Pennsylvania Railroad.

TO IMPROVE HARLEM RIVER
Sinking Fund Commission Approves
Plans of Department Of Docks

Plans Of the Department of Docks for
the permanent Improvement or the Harlem
River waterfront between 140th and 225th
streets were approved at a special meet
ing or the Sinking Fund Commission yes
terday. The plans contemplate the build
ing Of six modern piers and two long bulk
heads between 140tn and 155th streets, and
the erection Of ten piers with extended
bulkheads and a basin between Sherman
Creek and 20fst street and the Ship Canal
and 18th street.
J n Butterfly, representing % lots be
tween Sherman Creek and 20lst street, op-
posed the adoption Of the plans on the
ground that private interests were pre-
naring to build Il big terminal there similar
10 the Bush Terminal in Brooklyn. He
said the city could derive greater revenue
from such i terminal than from the pro-
Ilnsed piers.

sections, will get their shoulders to
the wheel and put up an exhibit that
will be an honor and a credit to the
country, in which these annual meet
ings were first called together; not
only this but the country which gave
birth to the man who founded it, or
at least did more to advance the dry
farming methods along scientific lines,
than any other. The Campbell system
of dry farming is not more than a
dozen years old, yet the theory and
practice of it, to a greater or less de-
gree, have in that short time spread
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-11-01

To raise grain and grass without
rain and without irrigation is the
great and all important subject for
the solution of which twelve hundred
delegates, representing $50, 200, 600
acres of dry lands in the United States,
400, 600, 900 acres in Canada and total
of 1000, 900, 600 acres throughout the
world, met for the fifth time, on
October 3 to 6. This last meeting
was held during the Interstate Fair
at Spokane, Washington. In addition
to the congress which met in general
assembly, there we're classes holding

tates, the delegates from Alberta
stepped in and took first prize for the
best display of agricultural products
grown under the dry farming system.
Will it happen again? This is the
second time it has happened. Surely
the people of the United States, the
citizen farmers as well as the business
men in the many communities sup
ported by the farming in these various

county won first county display and
Stevens county under the auspices OF
the big federation of commercial clubs
won second. 1t seems easier to find
fault with most things of this world
than to point out the beautiful part
in which they excel. If there is one
crop in the United States which above
all others has helped to bring wealth
to hundreds of thousands of farmers
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1910-11-01

engaged in the practice Of dry farm
ing, surely this crop is alfalfa. Alfalfa
is dry country crop that has excelled
all others. Hundreds of thousands
of hogs have been brought to maturity
on almost no other feed, yet the
showing of alfalfa at this dry farming
exhibit at the Interstate Fair, was
confined to few bales and very few
exhibits of the plants in the nat 1ral
form. Wheat was the prevailing ex-
hibit, and Canada brought down
something over five hundred bushels
in the bulk form and almost half as
much oats. In addition she had
enough wheat on the natural straw to
fill an ordinary farm building in the
country.
A few implements for the successful
operation of farms by this system
were exhibited in the tent and one
might say that almost the entire dis
play of machinery at the Spokane Fair
we're implements designed for this
particular purpose.
Prizes and premiums to total of
cen Thousand dollars were awarded
and all the awards were announced
on or before October 9th. The judges
of the various departments were as
follows: Grains and grasses. Profess
