GOOD TEA FARMING RESULTS.
Experiments Conducted by Govern.
ment Highly Satisfactory.

The governments experiments in tea
farming this year were highly satisfac
tory to the Department of Agriculture
officials On the 100 acres In South Caro-
lima where the bureau of plant industry
is conducting the work there were pro-
duced this year about 1900 pounds of
tea, worth fully 81 pound. While this
was not a record yield. the season having
been too dry for that. there would have
been a record, it is confidently declared
by DIR. Rodney w. True. in charge of the
work. if conditions had been favorable.
With the invention this year of a tea
plant pruning machine. which worked
successfully. only one process IN tea
growing must be done by hand. the ac-
tual picking. The increased demand in
the southern ftates for this American
tea has produced a market for all of it
within a limited distance from the place
where it is raised.

BLOCK TO NAVIGATION.
Sunken Barge in Patapsco River to
Be Removed by Dynamite.

The barge Margaret +. Vane, which was
sunk about two weeks ago in the Pa
tapsco river. near Baltimore, in a col
lision with the steamer Columbia, and
which was blocking the channel to con-
siderable extent is to be removed by the
army engineers. and tomorrow has been
fixed as the time for the blowing up of
the vessel. Large charges of dynamite
are to be used. and for the past week
the engineer officers have been getting
everything in readiness for the pyro-
technic display.
The calculations of the engineers are
that with the explosion of the quantity
of dynamite that will be placed in the
hull of the sunken barge, it will be SO
ripped and torn apart that considerable
portion of it will come to the serface
and float off. and that which remains
sunken will he too small to I'm any way

The Elizabeth +. Vane was an unrig-
ged vessel of :;73 net tons register. She
was built at Elkton. Md. in 1905 and
was owned at Crisfield. She was well
known at this port and Alexandria.

RODGERS ENDS FLIGHT
ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Aviator Travelled 4,231 Miles
in Eighty-TWo Hours and
Four Minutes.

PASADENA, Call November 6-Havins
winged his way from ocean to ocean
across the North American continent,
Calbraith p. Rodgers. the aviator. at Flo
o'clock yesterday afternoon landed at
Tournament Park, finishing his worlds
record-beating cross-country flight In
order to put finishing touch to his great
flight Rodgers has planned to fly his
Wright biplane from here to the Pacific
ocean and make a landing on the beach
at the edge of the water.
Rodgers. who is called giant among
aviators because he is the tallest man
flying an aeroplane, started his flight
from Sheepshead Bay race track, i'm New
York city. Sunday. September IL. at 4:oJ
o'clock in the afternoon. His getaway
was one of the most beautiful sights
ever afforded by flying machine in the
east In a straight line he flew over
Manhattan Island and headed toward d
glowing sunset into the west.
Actual Flying Time.
1t took Rodgers just 1924 minutes, or
cighty-two hours and four minutes of
actual flying time, to cover the 4,231
miles of his journey-about fifty-one and
one-half miles an hour-although he was
forty-nine days in reaching his destina-
ton.
When Rodgers started his flight he was
looked on by those actively interested in
aviation as a novice. He had been flying
for only few months, but during that
time had succeeded in winning the first
prize at the aviation meet in Chicago for
having remained i'm the air the longest
number of hours during the entire meet.
The beginning of his coast to- coast flight
was a succession of unfortunate acct
dents. but he was SO determined that he
would make the trip he had started out
to accomplish that nothing less than
physical inability to continue could have
Stopped him.
Doesn't Get Hearst Prize.
BY concluding his flight from the At
Iantic coast to the Pacific Rodgers cstab-
fishes for America the second world $
record for cross-country fight. Harry y.
Atwood, i'll his st. Louis to New York
trip of I,5jJ miles, held the previous
record
1t was Mr.. Rodgers intention when he
started out on his flight to attempt to
win the Hearst prize offered for the
aviator who made the trip first. But Il
dispute arose over the conditions that
governed the awarding of the prize and
MIR. Rodgers was very much vexed over
the matter He finally said he would fly
to the Pacific anyway, but not under Mr.
Hearsts auspices. The Armour Company
of Chicago financed in part Mr.. Rodgers

Change in Laws Needed.

The need of changes in the present
building laws was demonstrated today in
the police court, when Joseph Bradley
was cited 10 answer for failure to take
out permit for charging stable. Mr.
Bradley testified that after he learned it
was necessary to obtain permit he went
to the city engineer and the latter told
the consent of city council. He then
learned council would not meet until
November II. He has stopped the work
and the court dismissed the case
Mr.. Bradley has i'm the meantime made
application 10 council for permission to do
the work. His work will therefore have to
remain unfinished until council can act
on the application. This delay could be
obvated, it is declared, by empowering
the city engineer to issue permit for
such q work.
