Recent surveys made by the govern
ment bureau of soils have shown that
one kind Of soil characteristic Of the
strip, known as the Norfolk fine sandy
loan" probably covers a total area Of
not less than 100000 acres. Less than
1 percent of this total area is now &C
cupied for the production of truck crops
and not so much as One-fOurth Of the
whole is used for any agricultural pur-
pose, unless here and there for grazing.
This gives a notion Of the possibilities
of the future extension of what is al

known as cabbage soil, and IN the

is the chosen soil for lettuce.

WANT TO CARRY PISTOLS
Many Persons, Alarmed at Re-
ports of Robberies, Make
Applications.

Claiming they have been alarmed by
the reports Of assaults and robberies
committed on the streets during the last
few weeks. a number of persons recently
have applied to the clerk Of the Police
Court for permission to carry firearms.
Others have made inquiries of the police.
but were told that permits could be issued
only by the judges Of the Police Court.
At recent meeting of the Northeast
Washington Citizens Associa ton the
question of arming residents of the city
was discussed. based on a motion offered
by w. S. Bransom. He suggested that the
police be appealed to for permission to
carry arms. and expressed surprise when
he learned that the police were powerless
to grant such authority.
Chief Clerk SebrinG has explained to
the applicants that something more than
a request is necessary for permission to
carry a revolver, referring the applicants
to the provisions of the law on the sub
ject.
Section $50 of the code gives the judges
of the Police Court authority to grant
written permission to carry weapons in
the District, and the permits may be
granted for a period Of not more than one
month at any one time. on satisfactory
proof that there is necessity for granting
them.
The law further requires that the APP
plicant shall give bond in such penal
sum as the court shall require for the
keeping of the peace, save in case of
necessary Self-defenSe, during the contin-
uance of the permit.
