Sledders on the Streets.

Not in q long time have so many
girls and boys been on the streets with
sleds as were TO be seen everywhere
last night. The deep snow caused
great deal Of meTriment.
The snowfall nipped in the bud the
aspirations of skaters, covering the
creek out st the Zoo with inches of

Their Fearful Ests Of Speed In Space
Is Somewhat PuxxiinS.
The average velocity Of stars ranges
from about six kiio,neters, or between
three and four miles. per second for
young" stars to about thirty kilOme-
ters per second for old" ones. But
notable exceptions occur. At Mount

found to move with velOcities Of AL.
40, l79. 233. 3f6 and even 325 kilo-
meters per second. the highest speed
yet known.
These high velocity stars are some
times described as runaways because
they seem to be quite beyond the con-
troll of the gravitational power Of the
universe. At their speed the attrac-
ton of the entire known stellar sys
tenn would be wholly insufficient to
check the stars career through space.

COUNTY AGENTS ENTER
UPON CONFERENCE.
Gilbert B. Porter, Local Agent, Re-
spends to Address of Welcome by
President Patterson.

President Patterson.
College Park, Md. Jan. 17.-Coun-
ty agricultural agents from the IL
Maryland counties enjoying the help
of this agency, met at the Maryland
Agricultural College today, for a
weeks conference. President Pat
terson delivered the address of well
come. Gilbert B. Porter responded.
At today's conference G. H. Afford,
State agent of the Farmers Coop
erative Work of the Department of
Agriculture, delivered his annual re-
port. The report, in part, is as fol-
lows:
The II demonstration agents in
Maryland did work with LA farm
ers as corn demonstrators. The total
acreage of corn grown under the i'm
proved methods advocated by the
county agents was 1,1S1. The aver
age yield per acre on the 1,1S1 acres
was 47.91 bushels, or an increase ov-
er the average for the State of 20.56
bushels. If every acre of corn in the
State produced as much as the aver
age yield on the demonstration acres,
13,302,565.72 bushels of corn would
be added to the 10-year average pro-
duction in this State.
Tobacco is grown as a CONNER
cial crop in only of the z3 counties
in Maryland. 1t is grown on only 8
per cent. of the farms of the State.
The average production per acre, ac-
cording to the last census, was 6S4.5
pounds and the average value per
acre $3.50.
"Only one of the IL county agents
conducted tobacco demonstrations.
John H. Drury, tobacco expert, had
four tobacco demonstrators. The
average yield per acre was 1900
pounds, or an increase OF 515.5
pounds over the average production.
If the advice given by MI. Drury re1-
alive to the preparation of the soil,
the planting of improved varieties
and the proper cultivation had beer
carried out on every acre devoted to
tobacco, the value of the tobacco
crop would have been increased by
$1,559, 026.16.
''The IL county agents had 1Os
wheat demonstrations. The average
yield per acre on demonstration
farms was 1885 bushels, or an in
creased yield over the average for
the State of 1876 bushels per acre.
'The county agents of Maryland
realize fully that only occasionally
will man continue to succeed who
fails to give some kind of livestock
a permanent place in his farm OPP
erations. This being true, the agents
have devoted large part of their
time to encouraging the farmers to
grow more and better livestock.
Thirty-six pure-bred dairy bulls ana
118 pure-bred dairy heifers have
been brought into the State by the
county agents demonstrators. FIVE
hundred and forty-one COWS have
been tested to determine the profit
