at Upper Marlboro, the question as
to the ACCESSIBILITY Of starting Com

in dvissb'e just at this time. Tie
tobacco situation was very thorough

those who have been making investi-
cations into the matter. 1t was de-
termined that, to certain extent, the
situation could be relieved by better
stripping, better han ling and pack
ing of the crop and by an increased
production per acre; it having been
repeatedly demonstrated that crop
producing 1000 pounds to the acre
will run more uniform as to grade

pounds to the acre, 80 that there is

is simply preposlerous. Few of those
present on Saturday realized what
tn proposition meant and since then
the x-payers all over the County
have been bowling at such an idea.
The proposition Of Mr.. Mitchell at
the la~i meeting to build the road
from La Plata to Riverside, running
through three districts, giving to the
peoule in ivo districts the benefits OF
goo roads which the other districts
have been and are w enjoying and
his plan of raising the money and
paying up the was practical. Unde'
his proposition means of retiring

was likewise practical aud small
