community in Richland County. One
Of the hig features of the meetings vas
detailed and complete discussion On

potato work was to get six farmers
to treat their seed potatoes by the
Corrosive Sublimate m ethod. These
farmers are distributed over the coun
U. The treated seeds we're planted
along side of the untreated seeds
These plots were visited once during
the growing season to determine the
condition of plots ana number of dis
eased plants Later on another visit
was made. At this visit equal lengths
Of treated and untreated rows were
dug and weighed and the acre yield
computed This was always carried
out in the presence of the owner
Samples from each plot were carried
to and exhibited al the County Fair
Appropriate posters were put up SC
that everyone could see the results
The average results showed an In
crease of "a bushels per acre Of the

other visit was made to each of the
plots. This time it was to be neigh

A campaign for Alfalfa and Sweet
Clover was put on. Nineteen Alfalfa

TRAVELETTE
By NIKsAH.

on THE ROAD To BALTIMORE.
THERE used to be an excellent road
/ from Washington. D. c., 10 Bal
timore, Maryland. The decline Of this
turnpike began when the former city
went dry, and has continued ever
since. until now the erstwhile smooth
concrete presents to the wheels Of
the long suffering nivver a topOg-
raphy like the Rocky mountains.
There are places where the motorist
can make speed, but he is always
checked suddenly by a chuck hole al
most deep enough for certain OF the
smaller cars TO disappear in
The strange thing about this road
is that its popularity has in nowise
been impaired by its deterioration.
on the contrary, every Saturday night
sees more cars passing over Il than
the Saturday night before NeIIner
has the famous dead mans curve any
terrors for -sse WashingtOn-Balt
pilgrim; although a number OF lives
have been lost here. and the Nary
land authorities have now decorated
il gruesomeIy VITA red lanterns. a
skull and cross bones, and red danger
signs.
The scenery along this road does
not seem TO explain its popularity
either. This IS for the most part q
