In New England, New Jersey and
some other thickly settled sections of
the eastern part of the United States
what are known as farm colonies are
multiplying. These agricultural col
onies are generally made up OF for
eign-bOrn peoples who come from the
same district in Italy, Russia or Hun
gary. Farming areas of 1000, 1000
and sometimes 5000 acres are pur-
chased and divided up into ten and
twenty acre allotments. On each of
these small farms a family settles
and engages In the growing of fruits
and garden vegetables for the supply
of the larger eastern cities, says the
Baltimore American. Many aban-
doned New England farms are thus
being restored to productive usage.
Quite recently a 1,000-acre tract OF
land N Cecil county, located along
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal,
near Chesapeake City, has been pur-
chased for Polish farm colony. This
land Is to be cut up into ten-acre al
lotments, or into about one hundred
small farms, upon which as many
families will locate. The colony, it
will be observed, is about midway be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia,
and Is in easy communication with
both cities by water route, as well as
by rail. Maryland has inviting induce
ments for many such colonies. In
southern Maryland large areas suit
able for cutting into small farms may
be obtained at comparatively low cost.
This land, in most instances, is splen-
didly adapted to the growing of fruits
and vegetables. The soil is of far bet
ter average quality than the sandy
soil of New Jersey. Upon ten acres
of land farmed intensively not only q
living can be made, but ultimate af-
huence may be attained.

DEADLOCK HOLDS
LEGISLATURE UNABLE TO COME
TO AGREEMENT AFTER HOURS
OF WRANGLING.
BILL MAY CAUSE FIGHT,
Deficiency Measure and Amendment
to Penrose Resolution Expected
To Delay the Adjourn
ment.

!, Washington, D. C. A few score
weary members of congress, and an
impatient president Of the United
governmental situation following Sat
urday nights prolonged and fruitless
struggle to adjourn the session Of
congress. The outlook for this weeks
SESSIONS of house and senate promised
an even more chaotic legislative con-
dition than obtained in the fight that
began Saturday morning and contin-
ded until nearly church time Sunday.
Disguised with adjournment failure,
many members of the senate took
early trains for their homes. Senator
Penrose predicted that there would
be much less than a quorum in the
senate the early part of this week,
and house leaders were satisfied that
that body would be nearly 40 mem
bers short OF the number necessary
to transact business.
FilIibuster May Be Renewed.
The double filibuster which COMPEL
ed the abandonment Of the plan to
end the session of congress is ex-
pected to be renewed when the houses
re-convene.
Senator La Toilette made known to
friends that he would insist upon a
record vote on the adoption of the
Penrose resolution for an inVestiga-
ton of campaign contributions OF the
Standard Oil company in 1904 and of
the correspondence between John ID.
Archibald, George w. Perkins and
members of congress.
Senator Chamberlain who led The
other senate filibuster, the object of
which was to force the house to agree
to the payment of 100000 of old
state claims, will have the support of
many senate Democrats if he renews
his insistence to hold congress until
these claims are paid. The house lead
ers are determined to fight the claims
until December" if necessary.
Trouble Ahead.
Either of the senate tilibusters hold
trouble for any plan of adjournment.
If Senator La Toilette should insist
on a record vote, it would become
necessary to secure a quorum. In
such an event he could hold the SEN
ate indefinitely because it would again
be unable to make an adjournment
agreement with the house.
The general deficiency appropria-
ton bill is agreed to on all points
except the 100000 of claims demand
ed by Virginia, Maryland, Oregon
and Texas and the extra months pay
for employees of the house and sem
ate. Chairman Fitzgerald of the house
conferees, renewed his declaration
that under no circumstances would
the house concede the payment of
any of these.
A bare quorum of senators was in
Washington UP to the adjournment
failure, and less than quorum voted
on each proposition brought before
that body during the night.
Half a dozen senators slept in their
chairs through the latter part of the
session, others wandered YEARLY
about the senate wing of the capital,
from the chamber to committee rooms
and back again. About three o'clock
the senate restaurant ran out of food
and the senate went hungry.
