ASK CHANCE FOR ALL
Young Real Estate Men Are
Against Smith Amendment.
SHOWS FAVOR, THEY SAY
Limiting of One For Rent or For
Sale Sign on Property Classed
as Being Unfair.

Despite the elimination of the proposed
annual license fee of So for each piece of
property on which a for rent or ''for
sale" sign is displayed from the amend
ment attached IT, the District appropria-
ton bill by Senator Smith of Michigan,
real estate brokers and agents of the Dis
trict are still bitterly opposed to the
amendment and several delegations of
them have been hard at work at the Capt.
tol today endeavoring to have it entirely
stricken from the measure before it be-
comes law.
The brokers and agents oppose the
amendment on the ground that it pre-
vents competition. The amendment pro-
vides that hereafter not more than one
painted sign shall be placed on any piece
OF property in the District of Columbia
advertised for sale or to rent, and then
only when the owner of the property and
the Commissioners of the District of CO.
lumbla consent thereto. The amend
ment originally provided an annual fee
of 50 on each piece of property on which
Il sign is placed, the fee to be paid by
the owner

HEARING ON MERGER CASE
Demurrers of the Washington
Utilities Company to Be
Argued Next Friday.

Hearing on the demurrers filed by the
Washington Utilities Company and other
defendants to the injunction suit brought
by the District of Columbia to prevent a
proposed merger of the local public serv-
ice corporations will be held next Friday
before Justice Barnard in Equity Court
No. 1.
The case was on the motion list fol
hearing today, but at the request OF
counsel Justice Barnard granted a delay
Of one week.
Claim of the Defendants.
The defendants claim the bill of the Dis
trict does not show any interest of the
municipality in the proposed merger OF
any wrong done or proposed against the
complainant for which it would not have
adequate remedy at law.
Corporation Counsel Thomas claims the
consolidation act. by which the Washing
ton Railway and Electric Company &C.
ouired certain local corporations, set a
limit to the acquisition of public service
interests. He also states that the District
will be hampered in the collection of its
taxes if the merger be permitted.

Would Limit Number of Signs.

L believe most real estate men of
Washington will welcome a law standard
izing the size of for rent and for
sale signs and also limiting their use
on any piece of property to a reasonable
number In this way the chief oh jec-
ton to signs-namely, their unsightliness-
Will be removed. y standard could be
provided for such signs as to their size,
color and the nature of their wording BY
such law both the old and the young
firms would be given a fair DEAL
There are many brokers who say that
if the Smith amendment is retained in the
bill they will find other means of letting
the public know d piece of property is for
sale or for rent. Flags of different colors
have been suggested. By this arrange
ment each firm would have to have a
flag with a distinctive design on II that
would identify the agent to whom it be-
longs.

Opposed by Younger Men.

Senator Smiths amendment is particu-
| larry opposed by the younger real estate
| brokers and agents, who declare that
should it become a law it will work a
great hardship on them.
Although every agent in the city is
opposed to the measure" said a real es-
tate broker and agent today, the young
er agents who are endeavoring to work
up a business are the most bitter in their
opposition. The enactment of this amend
ment will mean that the old broker who
has an established business will be the
only one who can place his sign on pieces
oil property. knowing when a piece of
property is to become vacant or when
unimproved property is to be placed on
sale. he can go to the owner and obtain
consent to place his sign on the property
in question. An agent who has Just
started in business would seldom get
an opportunity to display his sign under
the proposed law.

USES OF LIME IN GEORGIA.
John a. Fain, Professor Of Asronomy

Query--How much lime, general
~ speaking, is needed for sour soil
In what form is IL best applied, wher
would you apply?
A sour soil means a deficiency OF
hme. To supply the need, lime may
be applied In either the ground rock
form or the burned lime form. II
ground lime is applied, from one to
two tons will be required depending
upon the acidity of the soil, and
from 1000 to 1900 pounds of burned
lime.
Ground lime is slower in action
but easier handled and when it can be
had at less cost it is preferable to
burned lime.
Burned lime should be applied a
few weeks before planting. but ground
lime can be applied at any time.
1t has been determined that the fol
lowing crops are benefited by lime ::
cantaloupes, peas, peanuts, tobacco,
sorghum, alfalfa, clover, barley.
wheat oats, most Of the grasses and
a majority of the fruits. Crops class
ed as Indifferent to lime are rye, po-
tatoes, millet, red top grass, corn and
cotton. Experiments prove that wa
termelons are injured by it. Corn
while classed as Indifferent, has, how
ever, shown in a majority of cases, to
be helped by it. At the college farm
an acre treated with lime produced
1872 bushel of corn, while an acre
not treated with lime produced 81
bushels per acre. The soil is a Cecil
sandy loan and clay.
Where lime is used, special atten-

used for this purpose are winter
oats, spring sown oats, COW peas and
soy beans planted in succession and
peanuts and artichokes.
The Georgia farmer should not have
to purchase as much fertilizer as he
is now buying. BY growing legumes,
nitrogen is taken from the air and
conveyed to the soil and by turning
under a green leguminous crop every
three years sufficient humus will be
obtained. Then If the Georgia farm.
er will feed all OF the rough litter
produced on his farm, he will have a
considerable store of manure to ap-
ply to his land.

WHY THE MULE?
M. p. Jarnagin, Professor Animal
husbandry.

A mules work in ten years Is
worth about $500. A farm draft mare
and her progeny are worth in ten
years more than $500. Then why
the mule?
You pay 5000 and more for a mule.
Raise a horse from your own mare,
and you will have netted a saving of
$125 to start with. Then why the
mule?
The value of the mare and her prog
eny in ten years as given above, is
estimated on the basis that she will
produce half horses and half mares,
and will foal the average number of
times, and furthermore that her work
will be only two-thirds that of the
mule-liberaI enough allowance, it
will be admitted, in favor of the
mule.
The draft horse, home grown, is
the solution of the question of eco
nomical farm power in Georgia.
