CURTIS BAY ROAD
CASE BEING ARGUED
Question Of Franchise to Operate
Again Taken Up by the Service
Board.
PENNSYLVANIA is AFFECTED.
Also Has Bearing On Construction Of
Big Plant at Wagner's Point, Grant
Opposed by B. & O.

Argument in the rehearing on the
application of the Chesapeake and Cur
tbs Bay railroad to exercise its fran
chise to operate in the Curtis Bay dis
trict was begun yesterday morning
before the Public Service Commission
in Baltimore.
j. Goodman Boyd represented the ap-
plicant. while Attorney Charles r.
Webber. assistant to the general coun-
sci of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road, represented the latter company.
which is opposing the granting of the
application.
The decision of the Commission will
probably determine whether the Penn
splvania Railroad is to enter the Curtis
Bay field at this time In railroad cir
cles it is believed that the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, through a joint use of
the Western Maryland's car slip and
by cooperating with the Chesapeake
and Curtis Bay railroad, would be in
position to tap this rapidly growing
territory, which is looked upon as a
splendid source of future traffic
There were clashes between the at
torneys for both sides as to the evi-
dence that the counsel for the Chesa
peake and Curtis Bay Railroad desir-
ed to introduce to prove their case.
A feature brought at the hearing
was the offer of the German American
Tank Car Company. the largest con
Germ of its kind in America, to locate a
big construction and repair shop near
Wagner's Point in case the Chesapeake
and Curtis Bay Railroad is given the
right to operate as common carrier.
The proposed Curtis Bay Railroad
on the opposite shore from the Dawson
Chemical Company is still another
link in the proposed development of
railroad facilities in this territory.

new DEMONSTRATION
FARM AT MARTIN
N, C. & st. |. Railway Now
Has Under Cultivation 375
Acres.

In addition to the five demonstration
farms now operated by the Nashville,
Chattanooga & St. Louis Railway un-
der the supervision of Special Agrl-
cultural Agent Joseph Fl. Judd, ar
rangements have just beer made for a
new demonstration farm at Martin
Tenn, which will be in cultivation
next year. At present the company
owns demonstration and experiment
farms at Decherd, Sewanee, Murflees-
boro. Tullshoma and Dixson. the COM
bined acreage under cultivation oeing
375 and with the farm at Martin the
acreage will be increased to 425 next
year.
That the work being done by the
road in demonstrating the posi- litles
of the soils in the several localities is
having a decided stimulus to farm en-
deayors in these sections is apparent.
Another advantage which has been
noted particularly at Tullahoma and
Dickson, is that the cultivation OF
these farms by the road has caused
property values in these sections to in
crease very materially.
The farmers have been shown what
the soil will do under the proper till
age, and many Of the farmers about
the demonstration farms of the com'
pany are following the methods EN-
ployed to advantage. The work being
carried on at these farms is of such
character that the small farmer may
follow without heavy outlay. Mr..
judd says that he expects to grow the
general farm crops on the new farm
at Martin, such as clover, alfalfa
corn and tobacco, and to raise a few
head of live stock. He anticipates th'
same splendid results which have beer
obtained at the farms in the other sec
tions Of the state.
The new farm is located along th'
right of way so that persons travelling
along the road may see what the N
G. &c st. L. is doing toward the ad
vancement of the agricultural inter
ests of the state.

TO HANG PICTURES
IN WAITING ROOMS
Interesting Views and Agricul-
turaI Scenes Along the n,
C. and St. |. Railway.

Recently several hundred pictures
have been made and will be enlarged
and framed. In short while these
pictures will be placed in the waiting
rooms of the several stations along
the line of the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis Railway.
This idea originated with President
John Howe Peyton while on recent
inspection trip. The views will in
clude pictures of interesting points
along the right of way, and many of
the pictures will be of actual farm
scenes in the several agricultural Sec
tions in the territory traversed by the
road. There will be views of herds,
of live stock, orchards, ETC., and sew
eral views of scenes and crops on the
demonstration and experiment farms
operated by the company. In addition
to the attractiveness which the pic
lures will give to the waiting rooms,
they will turn the prospective passen-
gers mind toward agriculture and
show him the possibilities of the terri
tory through which be will shortly be
travelling.
1t is believed that the idea will bs
we'll received by the public, and it
goes without saying that the hanging
of the pictures will serve to brighten
the appearance of the waiting rooms
and break the monotony of the usual
list of tariff forms and time tables
which usually constitute in large
measure the mural decorations in the
average waiting room.
