FOR LOWER GAS
IN CLARENDON
Rate Of $3.50 Exhorbltant,
They Claim, While Capital
Pays $1.O5.

CLARENDON, Va, March IL
The Clarendon Citizens Association
at its meeting last night initiated
fiRht for lower gas and electric
rates for this section.
II was claimed by Acting Prest-
dent Sharpe that the present charge
for electricity was slipped through"
on the citizens. The rate was fcr-
msrly 10 cents per kilowa.t, but the
electric company officials appeared
before the Public Utilities Commits
son, Sharpe said, without 1t being
generally known and obtained the
right to charge 20 cents for the first
five kilowatts and 10 cents for the
remainder. Sharpe pointed out that
this virtually means an added dollar
Tor the consumer.
J. Thomas Manning. in urging that
q lower gas rate be sought, pointed
cut that the rate in Washington IL
now only $1.05, while in this vicinity
It IL $3.50 gross, with 10 cents off II
the bill 10 paid within ten days.
Others who criticised tho charge
Of $3.50 declared that that figure
was allowed by the State public
utilities commission during the war
when prices for gas manufacturing
were at their peak, and that now,
with reduced labor and material
prices, the Rosslyn Gas Company,
which supplies Clarendon. Balieton,
Cherrydale, and other nearby COM
munities. should reduce the rate 10
ut least $1.25.
It was also announced at the
meeting that the new fire truck pur-
chased some time ago will be in
stalled In the engine house today.
Cherrydale's fire department min.
strel men will hold final reheArsals
tonight and tomorrow for their I'M
nual black.face frolic, which will he
held in the auditorium Friday and
Saturday nights of this week. On
March 30 the fire department mem
6ers will hold their sixth annual
banquet. which will be attended by
State and county dignitaries.

GOOD TREATMENT PAYS BEST

w. H. Peters. professor Of animal

sizes the fact that the most profitable

beef the greatest amount Of feed, and
not the one that can subslst on the
least and poorest ration.
There are thousands Of two and
three year-oId beef cattle that can eat
plenty OF feed" he says, but many of
them are not able to manufacture
much beef out Of It, largely because
their growth was stunted, their

conformation lost through lack Of
proper and sufficient feed when they
we're calves.

ACID SOILS FOR

prepared by the United States Department
of Agrieuiture)
Cranberry culture Is recommended
as n profitable industry under suitable
conditions aud In certain climates by
specialists Of the United States De.
partment OF Agriculture. At recent
conference OF extension workers the
possibilities, advantages and draw
backs in cranberry growing were dis
cussed.
The bulk Of the present cranberry
crop Ia grown on the acid soils and
peat bogs Of Massachusetts,. parts of
New Jersey. and New York, Wiscon-
SIN, Michigan, and near the mouth Of
the Columbia river In Washington and
Oregon. Some cranbsrries are also
grown In the mountain districts In
Virginia and West Virginia.
Preparation Expensive proeesa
Preparation of the land for cram
berry growing Is an expensive proc
ess. All trees and roots have to be
removed from the marsh and burned
and the fields graded. ditched. dyked
and sanded. Before the war, swamp
land could thus be cleared ana pre-
pared for about $500 to s700 per acre.
At present prices OF labor and ma
terials, this work will cost anywhere
from 5000 TO $1,000.
The ground must be suitably To-
Gated and prepared carefully because
II is important to have a good water
supply and good drainage facilities.
The water is also used for controlling
insect enemies. II is necessary to have
a reservoir from which the bog can
bas flooded. In New Jersey some grow
ers say that leaving some weeds In the
bog is not Objectionable as they sup
ply shade for the plants. In Wlscen-
sin Indians from the reservation pick
the berries. In New Jersey thousands
of Italians come out TO do the pick
ting. In Massachusetts, Portuguese do
most of the work.
Ward OF Pests and Diseases.
II Is essential that the cranberry
grower be prepared to ward Off In
sects and diseases. both Of which are
very destructive. In New Jersey.
where conditions are favorable for the
development Of certain fungous dis
eases, proper spraying with bordeaux
mixture was found to control the dis
ease and Is generally practiced.
Ordinarily, the price Of cranberries
per barrel is from 30 to $40, although
during the past year as much as $40
per barrel was obtained for small lots.
The number of barrels produced per
acre ranges anywhere from Is or 20
to 100 or sometimes 200. A reason

Striking Development In Fsdsrai-stats
Campaign for Live Stock

prepared by the United statss Departnent
OF AEricultureD
Noteworthy progress during the last
three months In the federal-state cam
paign for livestock Improvement is re-
ported by the bureau Of animal indus
try, United States Department Of Ag-
ricuiture. The most striking develop
ment is the increasing tendency for
purebred.Eire users to acquire pure
bred female stock as well. In the
period Of January to March 81 or
this year, $40 persons filed with the
department signed enrolment blanks,
indorsed by county agents. showing
the use Of purebred sires exclusively
for all classes OF live stock kept. This
number Is an Increase Of 254 over the
previous three months and Is nearly
three times as many as for the same
period In 1921.
Although the department has
stressed chiefly the use Of purebred
sires, records of the Better Sires, Bet
ter Stock" campaign show gradual
rise In the proportion Of purebred fe-
male animals. including cattle, horses,
swine. sheep, goats and poultry. The
proportion Of purebreds to the total OF
female animals kept now exceeds 30
per cent A decline In the proportion
of scrub females In herds headed by
purbred sires accompanied the rise in
purebreds.
The greatest activity during the
quarter was In Ohio where 532 per
sons were enrolled-more than half of
the total Nebraska came second with
1886 enrollments, Washington third
with 126 and Kentucky fourth with
l24. A new state, Michigan, entered

A large increase in the number of

order to check and relieve the cpl

During October and November of

highest point, the discovery was
