Moran for Work In Favor Of

Deploring the condition OF Washing
toms suburban roads, and statI,y that
once the concrete paving ended the
work OF the District engineers fell far
behind similar road construction In
other cities OF the United States, the
members OF the Brightwood Park Citi-
zens' Association have petitioned the
District Commissioners TO extend the
concrete paving OF Georgia avenue
through their district. .
1t was stated at a meeting Of the
association last night that Georgia
avenue is one OF the main thorough
fares leading to Washington, and that
the present condition OF tho road as
such at present falls far behind what II
should be.
At their first meeting in the Bright.
wood Fark school house last night. the
association sent number OF recon-
mendations to the District Commits
sioners concerning civic Improvement
In their section OF the city. Not only
did they ask to have Georgia avenue
paved with concrete. but the grading
and widening OF Illinois avenue, Ken
nedy street. Longfellow street, Madi-
son street. and Hamilton street was
recommended.

next year. All colorly tobacco is
scarce in this crop.
Now friends what is first and fore
most In making a crop as outlined
above? l will say first the plant
lands. The plant situation cost
South Carolina possibly Il million dol
lars or more this year. Be certain
and prepare your beds good this time
and avoid them being destroyed as
they were in February of this year,
select new lands protected by wood
land from the North and West winds,
if. you can. l think new lands re-
quire less burning and will always
give a better result. Get land with
medium moisture, not crawfishy or
too loamy, try and get rather close
dark fine soil. BE certain and cover
your land good and by all means do
not leave 1T unfenced as tho. cows and
hogs, when they are wedding it for
you, while you are fishing next spring
will destroy your plants.
