Torrance of a contract and which in
voIved the validity of the title to about
175 acres near GAINESVILLE. has been de-
cided by Judges Urner and Motter in the
circuit court here in favor of the plain
tiffs.
In March, 1910 the Misses Linthicum
sold to Ballenger the farm of 175 acres
and the purchaser made a payment of
$500. He refused to pay the remainder
of the price agreed upon-$5.1 9l Son
the ground that the title was defective.
principally for the reason that the land
could not be accurately located from the
title papers.
The decision of Judges Urner and Mot

to be good, but directs Ballenger to pay
the remainder Of the money before Sep
TENDER %. otherwise the property Will
be sold at his risk.

The Plaintiffs were represented by At

CALL ASSESSMENTS
| ON REALTY EXCESSIVE
Criticism by Speakers at
Meeting of North Capitol
Citizens Association.

Charging that real estate assessments
in this city are excessive. and unjust.
Barnard Waters. an employe of the Dis
,trict government. last night criticised the
District assessors at a meeting of the
ISOLATION. Mr.. Waters, declared that the
Assessment on his own house. on street
between North Capitol and LIST streets
northwest. had been Increased $500 un-
justly. He said there were other houses
in the same block on which the assess
ment had been raised from $500 to So
higher than it was.
I'VE have asked the chief assessor for
an explanation" said Mr.. Waters, land
he replies that the new assessments are
based on the cost Of erecting such build
ings at the present day, and not on the
actual building price.
Il have looked into the matter thor
oughly, and l am informed by a well
built new for the amount which 1t Is now
assessed. The house Is five years old and
certainly is not worth as much as a new
one
Charges Are Seconded.
j. w Frizzell of IL v. street seconded
the charges ;,f1ade by Mr.. Waters. He
owns four houses on street, which, he
said, were rccertly assessed at 81, iD. He
and several others visited the assessor
and had the assessment reduced 500 on
each house.
Il was told said Mr.. r'rizzell. tia,
the reason for the increase was because
we had not been paying high enough
tax"
Mr.. Frizzell declared that when he
called at the District building on severa
occasions in lsgard to assessments. he
had great dimculty getting any informa
ton from the men in the assessors office

Crimson Clover

The use Of crimson clover
throughout the Middle Atlantic
and Southern States has increased
enormously in the past few years,
due to the fact that it is unques-
tionably one of the most valuable
crops for late summer and fall
seeding.
Crimson Clover, in addition to
its great value as soil improver,
makes splendid winter cover
crop, excellent grazing during the
late fall, winter and early spring,
and is one OF the earliest, best and
most nutritious crops that can be
put in for cutting for early green
feed.
Crimson Clover also makes a
hrst-class hay crop, provided it is
cut just as it IS coming into bloom
before the seed forms. 1t can be
used for any OF these purposes,
grazing, early green iced or hay,
and even then the condition and
productiveness OF the land will be
improved to a wonderful extent
wherever it is grown.
For fruit growers, and for use
in orchards, as green cover and
soll-lmproving crop. crimson clo-
yer is unsurpassed, and the larg-
est and most successful orchardists
in Virginia, Maryland and Della
ware are using it extensively every
year, with the best and most sat
isfactory results.
Increases corn productiveness
wonderfully. Many of our best
farmers are sowing crimson clover
at the last working OF corn, plow-
ing the crop down end Of the fol-
lowing April or early in May and
planting corn again with increased
yields each successive year.
AS a winter, spring and early
summer grazing crop, crimson clio
yer is unsurpassed. A great many
OF our cattle raisers in this section
depend upon crimson clover for
their early grazing and fattening
OF sheep and cattle, until their
regular pastures come in to use.
For truckers and market gar
deners crimson clover saves ferti-
iizer bills supplying humus and

nitrogen to the soil, increasing
productiveness and the quality OF
crops to a wonderful extent.
For dairymen, crimson clover is
indispensable, furnishing the earl
lest green food or making splen-
did nutritious hay. 1t increases the
flow and quality OF the milk as
we'll as improving the butter both
in color and production.
Farmers who are growing
crimson clover are increasing their
acreage whenever and wherever
possible, as they find it altogether
one OF the best and most satisfac-
tory crops grown upon the farm.
Crimson clover is usually sown
at the rate OF about IS lbs. to the
acre, during July, August or early
in September. 1t is also sown to
the very best advantage at the last
working OF corn or other cultivat-
ed crops.
The Sowing OF Crimson Clover
III corn or other cultivated crops
give an ideal preparation. In fact,
1t is surer to get a stand in this
way than if the land is freshly
plowed and specially prepared, as
freshly plowed land is usually too
porous, causing the seed to be COW
cred too deeply and not giving the
little plant sufficient root-hold at
ter it does start, and a good firm
seed bed is OF prime importance to
secure a good stand. When Grim
son clover is sown by itself, the
best preparation is to prepare the
land some time previous to seed
ing. and then wait for rain to fall
on the prepared soil before SOW
ing the seed. AS soon after a rain
as the land is dry enough, a light
harrow should be run over the
soil in order to break the crust,
then SOW the clover seed, covering
forwards with light brush har-
row. If this plan is followed out,
II will almost invariably secure a
good stand and good crop of Grim
son clover, no matter what the
weather may be afterwards.

get over that in time. Then |

thing I've learned in college. All
the girls do it here, and tho it's
rather shivery at first, | like it.
