Yours very truly,
DAVID j. LEWIS.
Secretary GurIey Makes An ExpIa-
nation.

Mr.. Editor AS there seems to be more
or less misunderstanding regarding the
abolition of the 24-trip and 5O-trip family
tickets and the playground trip ticket from
points above Rockville to Washington, will
you allow me space for brief statement
on the subject.
The Metropolitan Branch Commuters
Association, in filing its statement in be-
half of the commuters and other patrons
of the Metropolitan Branch before the In
terstate Commerce Commission, laid spe-
cial stress on the importance of retaining
the 2-day ticket in the zone between Rock
vile and Washington Junction, and also
pointed out that considerable additional
cost would be entailed on those using the
new 10-trip ticket as compared with the cost
of the 24-trip and 50-trip family tickets
Everything was said that seemed to empha-
size strongly the facts in the case and it was
hoped that the Commission would suspend
the operation of these rates, which went
into effect December IS, as well as the new
communication rates. The association in
tends to do all in its power to secure fav-
orable action before the Interstate Com
merce Commission in this phase of the
passenger-rate question, and believes that
it may be possible to accomplish good re-
suits, provided the people along the Metro
politan Branch who are interested will give
hearty support.
Very truly yours,
J. G. GURLEY,
Dec. 70, 1914. Secretary.

Wheat Loss To Be A Big One.
From the Frederick Post.

From the Frederick Post.
Frederick county farmers will lose thous-
ands of dollars next year when the wheat
crop is harvested because of the Hessian
fly. The loss may aggregate more than a
hundred thousand dollars. With the ex-
ception of small section, practically all
wheat in this county is infested with the
insect. Twenty farmers are known to have
crops in which the fly has not made in
roads. These men co-operated with Farm
Demonstration in planting wheat on and
after October 6.
A tour of inspection of the county has
been made by Demonstration Remsburg and
DR.. August Stabler, of the Agricultural De-
partment, Many crops we're examined
with the result that number were found
to be badly infested with the fly. DIR.
Stabler says that conditions existing in the
county illustrate that the theory of planting
wheat late is effective and farmers would
do well to cooperate with the officials of
the department.
THE United States Government should
make it a misdemeanor for farmers to
plant wheat before a certain fixed period
fixed by the government" said one man.
He declared that not only is the Hessian
fly injurious to the crop in which it ap-
pears, but it spreads to the adjoining farms
and over the entire county.
Sometime ago Demonstration Remsburg
announced that there was fly on the farm
of his father. and adjoining farms in Mid
dletown Valley. Since that time he has
made thorough examination of wheat
crops in this county. He finds that the
insect appears in practically every wheat
crop.
In some instances the second brood has
appeared and in this advanced stage has
gone into the wheat. Warm weather has
been responsible for the activities of the
insect. The prevailing weather conditions
will halt all development for the winter,
but in the spring the fly will appear.
Hessian fly is dangerous insect. An
infested crop loses from 10 to so per cent
of its value. With this years yield of
wheat estimated at nearly 100000 an
accurate amount of the loss in money is
seen if the fly causes the minimum loss
10 per cent
Nothing can be done now to extermnate
the pest However. the farmers can pre-
vent the fly next fall by sowing late, as
specified by the department.

To Inaugurate Road Movement.


From the Frederick Citizen.
Backed by solid delegation from Mont
gomery county, leading taxpayers residing
along the old Washington and Frederick
turnpike, stand ready to inaugurate a
movement to provide a through highway
between Frederick, Montgomery county and
Washington. Recently the Frederick Board
of Trade made an effort to have a road
built between these points, via the Buck
eystown pike. This matter was tabled
after the State Roads Commission reported
that nothing could be done in regard to
the matter.
About six or seven miles of road are re-
quired to convert the Washington and
Frederick highway into a stone one. About
twelve miles of road must be constructed
to complete the Buckeystown-Dickers
route.
At recent meeting of the Board of
Trade, Geo. r. Dennis, Jr., of Frederick said
that the association should not 90 on record
as favoring or deciding upon any specific
route for such road. He did suggest that
the Washington and Frederick turnpike
would make the most direct route, with the
least expenditure of money. This highway
runs direct from Frederick to Washington
and then connects with the boulevard to
San Francisco The Buckeystown road
connects with Washington by circuitous
route
AS matter of business, men of Fred
erick and Montgomery counties want a
connecting road. Trade has been diverted
from Frederick merchants through the use
of automobiles A fine macadam State
road from Montgomery county into Wash
ington has tendency to send business
to Washington and Baltimore.
Residents living along the Washington
and Frederick pike declare that the Leeis-
lature would have ordered this section of
road to be taken over by the State had the
Frederick county delegation been solid for
the proposition. 1t is claimed that Mont
gomery and Washington county delegations
were back of the scheme, but that the
Frederick county delegation would not
stick.
Residents of Urbana district declare that
the Washington and Frederick pike is the
most natural route to take in planning for
a highway connecting the two counties.
The route is the most direct and extends
directly from Frederick, through Frederick
Junction, Hopeland, Urbana and Hyatts-
town. The other, round and about route
passes through Buckeystown, Licksvile,
Dickerson and that vicinity.
The Washington and Frederick pike is
used by the Government in moving troops
to and from Washington and Gettysburg.
1t is the road over which General Brad
dock came into Frederick.

More Trotting Than In Any Pre-
viOus Year.
FREE PURSES THE FUTURE CUSTOM.

More trotting meetings we're held in
America the past season than in any other
year in the history of the sport Up to
December |. w. II. Gocher, secretary of
the National Trotting Association, had re-
ceived reports of 1868 meetings held this
year on tracks in the United States and
Canada. How closely harness racing in
terests are bound up with the fairs, big
and little, is indicated by the fact that rs
per cent. of all the trotting meetings held
last season took place between August
and October u.s. This is the period during
which nearly all the fairs are held. and
it is probable that more than rs per cent.
of all the races between these dates were
trotted on the fair grounds of the States
and the Dominion.
The 1868 meetings of the season were
held on something like 1900 different tracks.
About 1900 of the meetings were on half
mile tracks. There are 90 mile tracks i'm
the United States and Canada, but some
of these are used only for training purposes
and not for racing. Meetings we're held on
AZ mile tracks this year. There are in
the United States and Canada four trotting
tracks of one-third of a mile in length.
Three of these are at South Woodstock,
Conn.,, North Washington, Pa. and Russell.
Ontario.
Mr.. Goucher attributes the unprecedented
number of trotting meetings this year to
the new rules of harness racing, which do
not penalize horses for records made in
losing races. These rules and the new
time allowances have, he says, brought
hundreds of outclassed horses back to the
circuits, to the mutual benefit of their own
ers and the associations holding the meet
ings. Despite the return of all these horses,
however, the average number of starters
in race is steadily and rapidly falling
off.
From the increased number of races
and growing scarcity of horses am led to
believe the day is close at hand when en-
trance fees will be done away with at all
fairs, if not everywhere else" he said
STARTERS are already in such demand that
Nashville, Tenn. Allentown. Pa, and some
other fairs have made all purses free and
open. ! think you will see more of them
do so next year. The trotting races are the
great attraction for the public at all fairs.
and there is no good reason why the horse
owners should continue to pay for the
privilege of giving the entertainment.

Higher Fares Suspended.

The Interstate Commerce Commission on
Friday last announced that it would sus-
pend, pending hearing and investigation,
the proposed increases in Communication
fares on the Metropolitan Branch of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. These in
creases were scheduled to 90 into effect on
December 2lst When the railroad COM
pany gave notice of its intention to make
the increases there was strenuous objection
from the commuters on the Metropolitan
Branch, practically all of whom are en-
ployed in Washington or are in business
there. An organization was formed and
formal complaint filed.
The order of the commission suspends
the increases from going into effect until
April goth and meanwhile the commission
will determine as to whether or not they
shall 60 into effect on that date. After an
nouncing the suspension the commission,
in its order, says:
THE suspended schedules provided for
increased Communication fares between
Washington, ID. c., and points on the Bal
