STEAMER MAJESTIC OFF
FOR SERVICE WITH NAVY
To Be Stationed in Hampton Roads
Until Repairs to st. Johns
Are Completed.

Under the terms of the charter of the
steamer st. Johns to the United States
naval authorities, she was to have been
ready for service yesterday. Repairs to
her could not be completed in time, and
the steamer Majestic yesterday left
here for Norfolk to take the place of
the st. Johns in the government serv-
ice until the st. Johns is ready for duty.
There is a report in circulation in ma
rine circles here that the Majestic may
remain in government service. and the
matter has been taken up by the Vir-
ginia corporation commission on the
ground that the withdrawal of the Ma
jestic from river service would do in
jury to the Virginia territory she
serves. 1t is claimed that the service
of the Majestic is the only means of
communication that a large portion Of
Westmoreland and King George coun-
ties, Va, have with the outside world.
and that her being out of service would
work a great hardship The steamer
Wakefield has taken the place of the
Majestic on the river, but usually at
this season of the year, it is asserted.
both the Wakefield and Majestic are
running on river routes, making six
round trips each week.
Recently, when a steamer line out of
Richmond, ON the James river to Nor
folk, chartered the steamer PocahontaS
to the government, the James river
landings were left without steamboat
service. The Virginia state authorities
brought the matter to the attention of
the government authorities and the
charter Of the steamer was cancelled.

Shad Season Closing.

Under the laws Of the District, shad
and herring from any source cannot be
brought into the District after June l.
and as far as Washington is concerned
the spring fishing season on the river
is over for another year. Dealers who
have shad and herring on hand have
until June 10 to dispose Of them, and
after that day it is unlawful to offer
the fish for sale. The season just clos
ing the fishermen say, was a fairly
good one as far as the catch of shad
was concerned. Herring, however,
were scarce, and salt herring will
bring fancy prices this fall and winter.

HOW MODERN FARM
IS RUN SHOWN AT MA. C.
Thousands See Demonstrations in
Connection With Commencement
Exercises.

Demonstrations in scientific farming
and it's allied industries and laying OF
the corner stone of the new Agricul-
tural building by the Grand Lodge of
Masons of Maryland featured the
earlier part of the Farmers day exer-
cises at the Maryland State College to-
day. The various demonstrations were
particularly interesting and instructive
to the thousands of farmers from all
sections of the state, and the greatest
crowd that has ever attended any event
at the college watched the impressive
ceremony conducted by Worshipful
Grand Master of Masons Shryock of
Maryland in dedicating the new build
ing "to the development of the agri-
cultural resources of the common
wealth.
Farm Supt. Z. H. Brinkley, aided by
representatives of several firms manu-
featuring farm machinery, showed the
various uses of machinery on the farm
and particularly - demonstrated the
value of tractors in blowing and har-
rowing. Also, machines which cut and
plant potatoes without any aid, except
from the man running them, were
shown, as were almost all kinds of i'm
provements for running the farm by
gasoline and power rather than by
hand labor.

Cotton Men Offer Facilities.

A committee representing the Inter-
state Cottonseed Crushers Association
has offered the government the entire
facilities of the organization for the
period of the war. In conference with
Herbert C. Hoover the committee en-
phasized the possibilities of the cotton
yield as food crop, and declared the
government had underestimaIed it's
value in the food-growing campaign.
Mr.. Hoover was told that the cotton
crop was one of the nations best food
sources and that an ordinary acreage
besides the cotton staple would yield
approximately $4,000 900 pounds of
cottonseed oil, 2,225,000 tons of meal,
100000 tons of hulls and 100000
bales of 1inters, the latter invaluable
for ammunition. Besides the great
value of the meal for animal food, it
was stated that recent experiments
had shown 20 per cent of cottonseed
flour mixed with so per cent of wheat
or corn would make a palatable and
reducing the demand on the corn and
wheat supply.
