Money isn't the only thing In farm
Ing for Thomas Roy Brookes, who has
. 100 acre farm near Emmorton, Md.
He also has fine herd OF pure bred
Jerseys and flock Of pure Bred Dorset
sheep. He believes In keeping pure
bred stock because they are not only
more profitable than "monRrela" but
also make farming more enjoyable and
full OF pleasure. He gets an extra
price for his milk because of It's better
quality, and top prices for his hot house
lambs which he markets. In Philadelphia
and New York, Ut the age Of eight
weeks. The lambs are dropped In
October and November and marketed
during December and January.
Mr. Hrookes carries on a fivs-year ro-
tatioa, consisting of sern, corn and oats,
wheat, clover and timothy, He manures
and lines once during each rotation,
applies fertilizer TO his corn and wheat
crops, thereby increasing the produc-
tive ability of his fields. The manure
10 applied to the timothy. which after
one year. isplowed up for corn. Crimson
clover is planted In the corn and the
land Is plowed up the second year for
silage corn and oats. After the oats
and silage corn crops, his fields are
disked for wheat In which crimson
clover IL seeded.
Five acres Of canning tomatoes are
grown each year. From 200 to 400
bushels per acre are harvested, which
are marketed at from rs TO 80 cents
per bushel. Alfalfa has been grown
For number Of years and Mr.. Brookes
10 gradually increasing bis acreage.
Ovef three tons per acre Of cured hay
ere harvested annually.
Top dressing grass has been found
profitable by Mr.. Brooke who has been
using 200 pounds per acre Of fertilizer
running high In ammonia. He has
twenty acres In permanent pasture and
finds that the Increased value Of the
grass from top dressing more than pays
for the money expended.
Acid phosphate Ia added to the manure
by Mr.. Brookes, at the rate OF about so
pounds To the ton, as recommended by
various experiment stations, especially
by Director Charles r. ThorDe, Of the
Ohio Experiment Station. He uses
500 pounds Of fertilizer per acre on his
corn and like amount per acre on his
wheat. 81 believe In thoroughbred
stock and In fertilizers" says Mr..
Brookes. my father had larger
farm than have, with about the same
amount Of live stock and therefore he
used more fertilizer, because more was
needed 10 keep up the fertility. use
most Of the manure or the clover toim-
prove the crop Of hay and the rest on
the pastures. /"

In order to avoid colliding with an
automobile which came suddenly out Of
q side road young lady whose home is
near Chester swerved her car TO the side
Of the road near Churchville on Tues
day afternoon and crashed into con-
crete culvert. One Of the occupants Of

badly joltsd. A passing car picked up
the unfortunates and hurried them to

a physicians care The machine was
80 badly wrecked that II was found
necessary to leave II along the road

made It impossible for each driver to
hear the others warning signal. while
the sharp bluff cut off the view Of the
road. Fortunately the machines were
moving slowly 80 the damage TO both
cars and passengers was slight.
"A terrific collision occurred at Graf.
toms Shop, near Forest Hill, on Sunday
evening when MIR. Jacob Gross new
WHY'S Knight machine crashed into an
Overland driven by Mr.. Allen Smedley.
Mr.. Gross was running down the state
road to the Churchville services and,
owing to high hedge. failed to see the
Smedley car as II turned out the Rock
Spring road. Before either driver could
swerve the two machines crashed to-
gether and seven Of their twelve occu-
pants were thrown to mother earth In
far from gentle manner. Strange to
say none Of them were injured. The
Gross machine was damaged to the ex-
tent Of several hundred dollars, and the
Smedlsy machine completely wrecked.
Mr. Charles Stubbs had most I'M
pleasant accident near Rocks while
returning from the Churchville services.
On the way home the machines lights
went out and Mr.. Stubbs borrowed q
lantern with which to feel his way
along. At narrow point In the road
q team driven by Mr.. Charles Dallam
and brother was encountered. The
youths pulled out a. far rs possible. but
In the dim light the driver Of the ear
