OVER MUCH TALK
TIRES THE FARMER
SAID HOWARD GROSS AT CONSER-
vATION CONGRESS.
Farmer Needs Demonstrators Who
Will Meet Him on His own Land.
Department Bulletins of Small
Use to Him Practically.
Associated Press.

Associated Press.
Indianapolis, Ind, Oct. A. In an
address before the National Conser-
vation Congress, Howard Fl. Gross.
president of the National Soil Fer
tility League, today said that the
placing in each county throughout
the country of trained farm demon-
strator was the best possible plan for
improvement Of agriculture in the
United States.
Experience has shown that the is
suing Of bulletins by the Department
of Agriculture and the Experiment
stations have little influence on the
farmer" said Mr. Gross. "They are
not written in the language of the
farm; they have comparatively no
value in reaching the actual tiller
of the soil.
eve have our farmers Institutes
and the railways run their lecture
trains. These have done some good,
but they have all fallen woe:ully
short of meeting the situation.
"The farmers are tired Of talk,
talk, talk, they demand something
more Show them a concrete example
to prove your contention and if the
results are satisfactory they become
Immediately interested.
"Hence, the time has come when
this vast fund of useful knowledge
must be taken 10 the farmer in the
personality Of a farm demonstrator
who will meet the farmer on his own
land and show him how to under
stand and apply the best methods
known to science; talk must go over
into action. We must reach the
present farmer.
ITO this end the National Sol
Fertility League was organized fol
I the purpose of creating genera
and more vital interest in the subject
of agricultural development and tC
secure the cooperation OF the Fed
1 eral government and the seyera
states through the colleges of agricul-
ture upon plan that will ultimately
place in every county trained farm
demonstrator to assist the farmer tC
understand and apply the latest ant
best methods of cultivation of theil
/ fields. This is accepted as the bes'
possible plan and rapid progress has
been made in inaugurating it."

dore Roosevelt occupied the witness
chair before the senate committee
investigating campaign expendi-
lures, for three and a half hours to-
day, and defended himself and his
administration against what he
termed Infamous charges and hear
say evidence"
Not only did Colonel Roosevelt
deny the allegation of John D. Arch
bald, that the Standard Oil company
gave a hundred thousand dollars to
the republican national campaign
fund in 1904 under the impression
that Roosevelt knew Of and approved
the contribution. but the former
president put into the records of the
committee a sweeping denial that he
ever solicited funds from any one.
He declared that no money was
received in the 1904 fund with any
express or implied promise of favors
from the administration, and denied
that excessive funds were used in
the 1904 or 1908 campaigns, or that
money had ever been used improper
ly in his behalf so far as he knew.
In reference 10 the Hartman fund
Of two hundred and forty thousand
dollars in 1904, Roosevelt declared
/ the statements of J. p Morgan, Geo
R. Sheldon and others fully corrobo-
rated his earlier statesments, thai
his fund was solicited expressly fol
the New York state fight, and not
solicited for his own fight for the
presidential nomination that year.
Hartman took the initiative il
raising the fund, declared Roosevelt
so he could help the state campaign
The sessions of the committee to-
day were picturesque The colone'i
progress into the building wa'
marked with cheers from the throns
that surged through the corridors
and policemen kept a thousand o.
more persons in order while a hun
dred more fortunate ones occupied
chairs in the committee room.
William Loeb, jr., Roosevelt
former secretary, occupied the sea
the former president left while h
testified, and he turned repeated,
to Loeb to ask as to facts
Loeb took the stand when the ex
animation of Roosevelt was complet
ed to corroborate the statements 0

For Those Who Purchase at Battery

opening their new Staten Island
property-Battery View Park-Wood,

ure which Is, 70 say the least, unique
Realizing that the building Of homes IL
the chief factor Of Increased values, they
have boldly offered 10 deduct one-half tho
purchase price OF a lot for every Gus
toner who builds within two years. Rec
ogniZing, too, that with tho construction
OF homes the value OF each individual one
Increases. they have provided that pro-
spective honeseekers need pay only 10 per
cent Of the cost Of the house and land
before beginning construction, and even
this 10 per cent can be paid by install
ments.
With such inducements Battery View
Park should build up with great rapldity,
as It enjoys one Of the pleasantest loca-
tons on Staten Island-a hillside slipping
toward the bay, from which the skyscrap-
ers OF Manhattan can be plainly seen be-
yond the shipping that crowds the water
ways Moreover, II In only a thousand
yards or so from the Staten Island ter
minus OF the new subway-a matter of
ten minutes' walk, or four minutes on a
trolley car, of which two lines pass the
property.
II might be added that this end of Stat

the property. The Silver Lake Park-the
Central Park OF Staten Islands, just be-
yond the property, while the Richmond
