The proposal to turn the Arlington
| Experimental Farm INTO park at the
southern approach 10 the new Ar
| lington Memorial Bridge has ELECTED
| recollections as TO the InoraSs ap
! pearance of that tract some few years
| ago.. and to how il came to be used
as an experimental farm. The credit
! for this development is due to M. B
| Harlow, a longtime civic leader In
| Washington and Alexandria, who Is
also originator and persistent worker
| for the monumental highway from
Washington to Mount Vernon.
| Twenty years ago. while Mr.. Har
low was treasurer of Alexandria city
and active in its civic affairs. In com
pany with the late James E. Clements
pioneer In Alexandria. and the late
| Frank Hume OF Washington. he wa.
standing In the portico Of the Lex
Mansion in Arlington National Gene
| terry. Stretched out before them was
a miniature everglades. then part Of
the Arlington estate and in charge Of
| the War Department.
Mr.. Harlow complained about what
a shame 1t was to see such condition
existing at the southern entrance tc
1 ~ - k,s
asked, What can we do about it?'
| Then they held council, and Mr.
Harlow suggested a conference with
Jerry Rust Of Iowa, then Secretary
of Agriculture. They Immediately
proceeded to Mr.. Rust's office and Mr.
| Hurlow asked him, IF we can ge,
that land transferred to you from the
War Department can you use it for
en- experimental farm?" Mr.. Rus,
allowed he could. Then the Harlow
delegation waited upon the late Rep
resentative John F. Rixey, who then
While the House committee on agri
| Congress. AS result of these negoti
| atoms Mr.. Rixey introduced a bill au
| thorizing and directing that the trans
| fer Of this land be made from the WaI
Department to the Department of Ag
riculture, and subsequently Secretary
Rust asked for and got an appropria
ton for cleaning up the land and de-
/ veloping the experimental farm, one
interesting feature of which now is q
great national rose garden.
Although he is not boastful, Repre-
| sentative William B. Bowling. Demo
crat. of Lafayette, Ala, Is extremely
proud Of the fact that he is fifth In de
scent from the famous John Sewer
Governor Of the State of Franklin and
six-tfne Governor Of Tennessee, noted
| indian fighter and hero of Kings
Mountain.
While the House committee on agri.
culture was conducting hearings dur.
ing the last week On cooperative mar.
keting legislation 1t was brought TO
the attention Of members by Secretary
Jardine that reports from - State
agricultural colleges show that 20 of
| these colleges are giving ~ courses of
study which deal specifically with ag-
riculturaI cooperation. Eleven other
colleges are giving SO courses In which
cooperative marketing Is made a part
of the courses in marketing and eco
nomics.
