NAVAL ACADEMY INN
NEAR CAMP MEADE BURNS

While futile efforts were made by
Camp Meade fire department to
extinguish fire at Murray's Inn,
at Naval Academy junction. the
entire structure was burned to the
ground late yesterday afternoon.
The lack of an adequate water sup.
ply made 1t impossible to stay the
blaze.
Members Of the fire truck and
eighteen utility men also sent from
the camp removed the valuables,
however, and saved q garage that
ignited from a spark. Electric
trains of the w. B. & A. were de-
Iayed q half-hour.

When you stroll along the
streets Of L. A., Los Angeles, you
are sure to be stared at.
Everybody is on the lookout
for movie stars, and everybody
seems to think that everybody
else Is one, so IL You haven't got
map like Marion Davies, that
doesn't mean you amt . star
you stiII have . chance Of being
mistaken Tor q funny face Of the
films.
Stare and be stared at seems
to be the rule Of the road, and
from the way some Of 'em were
staring at me while was staring
at them it's q cinch they think
I'm Flora Finch, while I think
they are Bebe Daniels.
Sometimes when you think
they are staring at you and you
don't like to look them full I'm
the face for fear they will dis.
cover too soon that you aln't who
they think You are, you win dis
cover when yOu do look right ut
them that they are an0ta exactly
staring at y0u but into vacancy,
which, Of course, some aNiIl be
catty enough to say Is Unb and
the Same thing In myscase.

Cabbage Will Respond
Nicely to Use Of Lime

The gardener and orchardist is
constantly surprised at the responsive
ness of plant life. Some plants re-
spond to one treatment and some an
other, but certain it is that the
requirements Of each kind Of crop
grown must be studied rather than
to treat all alike.
In the study of fertilizer require
ments by the Ohio experiment station
both at Wooster and Marietta 1t is an
outstanding fact that cabbage will re-
Spond markedly to the use of lime
Where one ton of ground limestone
is applied to the land each year, and
no other treatment is given there has
been an average increase for eight
years Of tx tons of cabbage. In con-
trast to this the tomatoes have given
only little over cne-fourth ton in
crease. Likewise, when lime Is used
with either manure or chemicals the
increase from lime Is striking. 1t is
a coincidence that lime is also a spe-
cific for club-root of cabbage and
gives additional reason for applying it.
Spinach is another crop that will
give big return for the use Of lime
on an acid soil. The difference be-
tween lined and unlimed spinach is
so great as to lead one to think heavy

When farmers adopt purebred sires
to head their herds and fiocks 1t Is not
long before the percentage Of pure
bred females increase notably. This
encouraging tendency toward more
rapid improvement of live stock has
been brought about by the United
States Department of Agriculture in
the Better Sires-Better Live Stock"
campaign.
Scrubs Disappear.
OF total Of more than 100000 fe-
male animals listed by farmers who
have agreed to keep nothing but pure
bred sires, more than 35 per cent
are Of pure breeding. On these farms
scrubs have practically disappeared.
For the larger animals the reports
show that only "a per cent of the fe-
males are scrubs, and, Of course, the
males are of pure blood, as that Ia the
basis on which the farms are listed
The poultry flocks owned by these
farmers are particularly well bred,
only 1.3 per cent Of the female birds
being listed as scrubs. More than 6S
per cent Of total of 10000 birds are
entered on the list as standard bred.
Among the herds Of swine there are
very few scrub sows-only IL per
cent. Nearly-two thirds of them are
purebred.
The federal-state effort to improve
the live stock and poultry Of the ccun-
try has now brought in membership
campaign that represents nearly mill
lion head Of animals and poultry.
Farmers who have become members
have sent in interesting accounts Of
their experiences in improving their
animals and their bank accounts. Other
farmers who are taking part in the
work are invited by the department to
send in their individual experiences as
well as those of community organiza-
tions engaged in the improvement Of
live stock. Definite facts and figures
should be included whenever possible.
