SAYS Development Is Retarded.

Galen L. TAFT of the American Univer-
sIty Heights Land Company declared
that because of the present car service
the progress of development Of the sec
ton is not as rapid as it would be if
through car service should be established.
Attorney Talbot of the Washington and
Rockville railway interjected the ques-
ton, 1.-The service is the same as when
YOU located in the section fifteen years
ago. is it not Mr.. Tait?"
YES" he replied, 1.-The development has
been in spite of the car service. The
place. you doubtless know, is now part
Of the city of Washington. Fifteen years
ago it was not
Mr.. TAFT also stated that the situation
along the line now seemed to be on the
order of taxation without transporta-
ton.
AS Mr.. Mcneil concluded, the railway
company, through Attorney Talbot and
Secretary Bowen, entered general denials
as to the jurisdiction of the commission
in the matter, and that there was need
for such a service as proposed.
They then sat back in their chairs and
the residents of Georgetown took up the
cudgels.
Samuel R. Swindells, who lives in
Cleveland Park, and is in business at
5000 X street announced that the present
service suits him. He said he wants no
more of the through service, because
when it was in vogue he walked home
half of the time.

lively To Acquiring Pr.
vdte Stock

After tho regular monthly meeting
of the directors of the Martinsburg
and Winchester Turnpike Company,
this morning. the directors went be
fore the County Court TO discuss With
them the present status of the turn
pike.
The turnpike directors explained to
the Court what to them seemed to be
a feasible method for settling the TAX
ing over of the stock by the county
They suggested that the county place
a figure of twenty dollars share as
fair price for the stock of the turn
pike company that is owned by midi
vidual stockholders, making n total
of 5000 for the 401 shares. That
the county pay one half of this sum
now and the other half in one year
with interest ON the deferred payment.
That the value of the tangible prop
erty the county would receive in the
form OF cash crushers, toll houses
and lots would amount to as much
as the first payment That they could
continue the collection of toll for n
couple of years and have sufficient rev

priggish weakness and the fore
runner Of early death (which the
more to be feared, l cannot say.)
The artists have pictured Christ
with a weak or feminine face.
Sentimental preachers have dis
gusted young men by picturing
an effeminate sweet Jesus The
monkish idea of religion--that is,
as a delicate, dyspeptic, long
faced thing, standing apart from

WHY MANURE Is so MUCH
NEEDED ON SOUTHERN
SOILS.

In comparing farm manures
with commercial fertilizers, we
realize that the nitrogen, phos-
phoric acid and potash IN the
former may not be so valuable
pound for pound, but VIXEN we
take into account the vegetable
matter present aid its mechanical
effect on the soil and also that it
is applicable t. all vari, ties of
soil and crops, its superiority
cannot be questioned. If the fer
tility ard value of soils depended
mainly on the amount of mineral
matter in them. them fertility
might remain unimpaired for GEN.
turtles to come. The mineral mat
ter can only be exhausted from a
soil by cropping, if we except
small quantities of soluble mat
tiers, which are sometimes lcached
OUT If certain soils. All cult
waited soils lose more or less min
eral matter through crops re-
moved, but this loss is very slight
whel compared to the loss Of nit
rogen and organic matter, which
are lost rapidly both by teaching
and oxidation. The lack of Or
ganic matter is, in my judgmen,
the primary cause Of the low pro-
ductive power of our Southern
soils. Organic matter is much
easier retained in Northern than
in Southern soils. This is mainly
owing to heat and moisture of the
South, which carries on the de-
composition more rapidly in
warm than in a cold climate.
And since cotton culture is such
a misunderstanding process, it
renders the outstanding Of this
valuable principle as perhaps the
most important process in South
ern agriculture.
A well kept manure heap may
be safely taken as one of the sur

cess in farming. Neglest of this
resource causes losses which,
though vast in extent, are little
appreciated.-Prof. f. r. Lloyd,

The past week has been dis

The corn crop is turning out
favorably and a good yield will
be harvested throughout this Sec

tinues to improve steadily as the

been as favorable as could have
been wished. The sugar cane
crop is still backward however,

Rice harvesting has commenc ed
