pert, to help him out, and II neces-
sary, the matter will be carried to the
very heads Of the department for solu.
tion.
An interesting feature Of the work Is
where certain farmers agree to show
on an area not less than an acre In
extent the best known practises Of
growing crops. They enter the work
from the standpoint of public spirited
citizens who desire to aid the county
and the government. Detailed cultural
plans prepared by the county agent
are followed out, record Is kept OF
the work and all the farmers in the
county are called together for field
day, held to have the lessons pointed
out.
As an example Of the conditions
which the county agents have to meet,
the preliminary records sent in by the
agent who has recently been stationed
in New Hampshire county are of In
terest. In the four townships Of the
county there we're found to be 226
farmers. 80 Of these being general
farmers, 11S dairy farmers, 40 poultry
farmers, and nine fruit farmers. The
80 general farmers averaged, after the
deduction Of per cent for interest on
the investment, q residue Of $500 for
their years work. From this they had
to buy their fancy groceries, clothes
for themselves and family, magazines,
papers, and the like. The dairymen
averaged q surplus Of $252 poultrymen
SAT and fruit farmers $1156. These
figures could not be taken as showing
the relative value of the yields of the
different industries, for in one class q
farmer who made q failure of his years
work would bring the average down.
while in another class the years prof.
its might have been unusually high be-
cause of temporary conditions.
With the number of agents in the
field constantly growing. 1t is estimat-
ed that the annual yield from the
farms Of the country is in fair way to
an increase that will reach into many
millions Of dollars.

END OF INSURANCE
INQUIRY IS IN SIGHT
EmpIoye Of Underwriting Firm
Says Bad Business Is Not
Temptation to Companies.

The beginning of the end of the In
surance Investigation, which has
dragged along since the Christmas
holidays, was staged 1 nthe rooms Of
the House District committee today
when the defendant" insurance com
panies resumed the Introduction Of ev-
idence in support Of the First National
and Commercial Fire Companies. and
the underwriting Arm Of Tuttle, Wight
man & Dudley.
Unless the committee introduces addi-
tional witnesses, the prospects are that
the probe will end this week. The COM
mittee probably will require several
weeks to write its report.
Spencer johnson, supervisor OF under
writing in the firm Of Tuttle, Wightman
& Dudley, was a witness before the
committee today, and furnished the de-
tails of the underwriting methods Of the
concern which handles the business Of
the Commercial company.
Passed On All iRsks.
He testified that Tuttle. wightman &
Dudley had strong "prohibitive list"
meaning that they proposed to build up
slowly and conservatively, without in
curing hazardous risks
Mr.. Johnson said he passed on all
risks and gave them conservative"
consideration.
els theer any tendency to accept busi-
ness for the sake Of the premium and
without regard to probable loss? ask
ed Attorney Carusi.
None. whatever said Mr.. johnson.
Congressman Redfield interrogated
the witness at length regarding insur-
ance underwriting and agents con-
tracts. An agents pride. said Mr..
johnson, caused him not to accept bad
risks.
"Of course there are some careless
agents" said Mr.. johnson during the
general discussion of the subject.
Bad Business No Temptation.
Answering questions by ar. Carusi.
the witness asserted there was no
on the part of the Com
mercial' or Tuttle, Wightman, and
Dudley to take bad business
CONGRESSMAN .Redfeld asked Mr..
Johnson IL the company had sought to
do business in Massachusetts,, Maine,
or Wisconsin.
Mr.. johnson said the ratio of loss in
Maine and Massachusetts, was too large.
the company would not attempt to do
business in wisconsin except In NIL
He gave a list of the best fve" fire
insurance States as follows:
which has a ratio of loss
Of only 2S per cent: Colorado. 3S11 per
cent: New Jersey, S9.3 per cent: Ohio,
Il per cent, and Oregon e per cent.
Montana, he said, had loss ratio aver
age of 30.5 per cent, but the premium re-
tH-Es are small.

THIRD STOCK SUIT
To Be FILED AGAINST
GAS LIGHT: COMPANY
New Litigation Against WASH
ington Company Is Planned
by Stockholders.

A third suit against the officers and
directors of the Washington Gas Light
Company, in connection with the own
ership of the stock of the Georgetown
Gas Company, Is expected to be filed In
the District Supreme Court within a
few days. 1t is understood that one or
more stockholders of the Washington
company will bring the suit to compel
a distribution to the stockholders of
whatever rights or benefits they may
have in the stock of the Georgetown
company. which the Washington COM
pany has continued to hold undivided.
without dividend and without exercise
of any right to vote.
Owing to the absence OF President
Weaver, of the Georgetown company.
the suit. which that company contem-
plates bringing to force the issue of the
right Of the washington company to
hold its stock, has been DELAYED in fiji
ing, but upon his return within a day
Or two the papers are expected to be
filed with the clerk of the court.
The third suit Is to attack the ques-
tion Of stock ownership in the George
town company from an angle different
from that contemplated in the George
town company's suit and from that IN
the suit OF Thomas Hume.
There has been much negotiation
the threatened filing of the Georgetown
suit, which may possibly result in an
amicable adjustment of all differences.
and, perhaps, a basis may be found
upon which permission can be asked of
Congress to combine the companies.
Benjamin Minor. counsel for the
Washington company, will not discuss
the proposed suits until they are filed.
and President Letter refers inquiries
to the company's counsel
