Mr.. Stevens Is Not
Voicing Opinion
on C.& O.Dividend

The statement appearing an the
News Leader Friday as coming from
the president of the company to the
effect that the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway Company dividend would
not be declared at the June meeting of
the board did not emanate from MIR.
Stevens as he was not in the city. and
IL he had been here he would not
have expressed an opinion on the sub
ject, as ii is not known what action
the directors will take. The informa-
ton contained in the News Leader
article was taken from a statement
Mail of May 81. and was written by
Mr.. Charles r. Speare, railroad edi-
tor, and is as follows:
Action of Chesapeake and Ohio
stock shows majority opinion be-
lieves the dividend will be passed when
the directors again meet on June II.
Yesterday Ii was only deferred. While
approaching that point of view. which
takes into account the stockholders
claim on earnings, 1t must be said
that the temporizin of policy of
Chesapeake and Ohio directors since
last summer has been injurious to the
company's credit. Action was de-
ferred for a long time following the
war, and then the rate was made l
per cent, semf-annual. II the margin
of surplus over present dividend re-
quirements is SO narrow that the diff
ference of one months net earnings
Is to determine whether dividends
are paid or not, the conservative pol
Icy would be to pay nothing. 1t Is
fair criticism that the Chesa peake
and Ohio has paid out too close 20
dividend requirements ever since IT es-
tahlished it's 8 per cent rate"

a beloved Methodist minister and
Confederate veteran, who sustained a
broken hip on the train near Gordons-

Grace Hospital yesterday as improv-
ing. Mr.. Young was accompanied
on the journey by his wife. He is
eighty-three years old. He had
looked forward eagerly to taking part

BUSINESS OF his injuries will be una BILE
to take any jart in the reunion fes-
tivities.
Mr.. Young was on the last lap of
his journey when injured. While
his train was waiting at Gordonsville,
he rarose from his seat and started
down the aisle. He was suddenly
thrown across a seat when a shifting
engine bumped into the train. Emer-
gency treatment was rendered him
and he waas brought on to Rich
mond and taken to Grace Hospital
His wife will remain In the city with
him until he is able to return to his
home.

ADMINISTRATORS AFTER

The Administrative Board on Fri
day received . letter from the vir-
ginia Railway and Power Company
In reply to one forwarded by the
board concerning the repair Of the
tracks from Twenty-third Street on
Broad to ChiEaboraEo Park. Fresil
sdent wheeiwrtght stated In the let
ter that the company could not see
why 1t should repair the tracks at
this time. as the City Council had
granted certain privileges pending
action upon request for bfan-
ket franchise.
The board. therefore. directed the
clerk to Forward all papers In con-
nection with the matter to the City
Attorney for his opinion. with the
idea in view OF taking steps to COM
pei the company TO proceed with the
work ordered done by the board
some months ago
The board also directed the Sn-

INCREASE NITROGEN SUPPLY
Farmers Of State Of Virginia are Con-
cerned by Problem How TO Have
Soils Properly and Abundantly Fed
With the Necessary Nitrogen.
by III. III. HILL. BIachsburg

Have you ever looked out over a
field of growing corn and noticed III
rich green colorT
Ask the soil chemist the cause OF
this wealth of color and this healthy
appearance and he will say:
Nitrogen"
OF all the different forms Of plant
food required for crop production
nitrogen is the most important II Is
this element that is usually deficient
in Virginia soils. and the one that hits
the farmers pocketbook the hardest
when he goes TO the fertilizer dealer
Soil investigators are united in the
belief that nitrate nitrogen. that is
nitrogen IN availa BILE form. is the most
readily available form for plants
How this valua bic form OF plant food
may be increased in the soil is one
of the many problems that the de-
partment of chemistry of the Vir-
ginia Experiment Station at Blacks
burg is trying to solve.
The minute form OF plant life called
bacteria play a very important part
in the formation of nitrates in the soil
but In order that the bacteria may
thrive. food IL required for their
growth and development Just as the
plant requires its food. For the de-
srrstH SsSsaE&tL IA 46t %t tksCrE
useful bacteria, the soil has TO be
supplied with organic matter. Just as
in the case of nitrogen. Virginia soils
are poor IN organic matter. This is
also true of many OF the soils of our
eastern states, so that liz why soil ex-
perts are continually preaching the
doctrine OF green manuring and crop
rotation.
Nitrates may be increased enorm-
ously in the soil by the turning under
of green crops. such as clover. SOY
beans. rye and buckwheat This
organic matter rapidly decomposes In
the soil. furnishing suitable medium
for the useful bacteria to work upon
and in turn is converted into soluble
forms OF nitrogen. which are readily
available for the plants use.
The sum spent each year in this
State for commercial fertilizers is in
the neighborhood OF $S.0oo.o0o. This
lie largely due to the exhaustive meth
DDS of farming practiced. This enor-
nous sum could be materially re-
duced If more organic matter was re-
turned to the soil in the form of green
crops. Such a practice not only adds
to the nitrogen supply, but will great
ly improve the physical condition OF
our soils.
The maintenance OF the. 1erfiiity Of
Virginia soils depends primarily upon
three things: first, the making. care
full saving, and intelligent application
OF barnyard manure: second. the
maintenance Of the supply OF humus
in the soil by proper rotation OF
crops. and especially by the use Of
grasses and iegumfnous crops: and
third, upon thorough and judicious
tillage. These three practices. and
lining. are the main props OF soil
fertility.

.FONT|CELLO PARK LOTS
ARE SELLING RAPIDLY
Richmond Fire department Buys
Land I'm New Division for Engine
House Site.

James T. Cosby, real estate agent
who has charge of the sale OF the
Fonticello Park lots. announced yes
&c rday that he had just completed n
most important deal in Connection with
this property by the sale of four lots
in block Al to the Richmond Fire
Department. This property is located
at the corner of Thirtieth and Balm
ridge Streets and comprises a plot
14s by 122 liz feet.
1t is understood that the property
has been acquired by the Richmond
Fire Department for the purpose of
erecting modern fire house thereon.
The architecture of the proposed
building is to he that of modern
suburban bungalow, so that ii will
harmonic with the residential prop
erty that will he erected in this vi
cinity. and the equipment of the fire.
house will be the very last word in
point of efficiency.
Mr.. Cosby closed the deal In active
competition with other reel estate
agents in Richmond.
At noon yesterday the sales of Fon-
ticello Park lots had reached prac-
tically fifty per cent of tsne entire
subdivision and but for the lncle-
ment weather that prevailed Satur-
day there is no doubt that 1t would
now be we'll beyond that figure, for
the demand for this property is ac-
tive.
NJ. G. Mann. one Of the best known.
real estate agents in Manchester. was
yesterday associated with Cosby for
the sale of the balance of the Fonti-
cello Park property. Mr.. Cosby states
that he expects 10 COMPLETE the sale
of the balance of the subdivision with
in the next three weeks. This looks
entirely probable in view of the fact
that he has made a record of selling
fifty per cent of the property since
May IT, when the sale was officially
opened.

GOV. WILLIAMS
NOW DEMANDS
EFFICIENCY
THREATENS TO INSTALL
TIME CLOCKS IN ALL
DEPARTMENTS

Oklahoma City, Okla. May 3.Tho
efficiency plan of Governor Williams
is to be expanded at once by econom-
les in time in the several state de-
partments. II is the intention OF the
governor to see that every employe
of the state puts in eight hours a day
at work The eight-hour rule has
some times been lost sight of, and in
order to check the time of employees
it is expected that time clocks will be
installed III the several departments
and that rules will be made to enforce
attendance at the office during the
prescribed hours under penalties 10
be imposed for delinquency.
1t was noted on the occasion of an
automobile, race in this city recently
when check was made in one of the
|offices employing a large force Of
clerks the number absent during the
afternoon was rather too great to be
considered an incident of the service.
Governor Williams is calling atten-
ton to all heads Of departments to the
necessity of economy and efficiency
in this matter of office employees and
the rule is being passed along to the
stenographers and clerks, much to
| their discomfort. The promise made
in the campaign and in the inaugural
address of the governor, that there
would be no loafing on the job and
THAT persons who drew state money
during his term of office as wages
would have to earn it, is to be fulfilled
to the letter. The employees are com
| ing into long hot summer with the
| thought impressed upon them that a
lpublic job is no private snap. And
the specter of time clock such as
| the industrial concerns employ is
!haunting the baseball fans and the
moving picture haDitues whose desks
| in the state offleeS are not always
pleasing places.
Efficiency in the work of night
watchmen Is also in the new plans. II
has been the practice for each Of the
executive departments to employ a
watchman who managed his own time
land upon whose work there was no
check. The new plan that is to be.
| come effective at once is the intsala-
| ton of signal boxes in all the rooms
and the employment of one man who
must register at each box at stated
Intervals. The recent removal of Of
| Ifices to central location has made
this plan feasible to an extent that it
would not have been before
