MAKING THE FARM A
PAYING. PROPOSITION

Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
calls attention to the fact that cotton
production varies from less than 100
pounds of low quality cotton to 800
and 400 of high quality cotton per
acre and he shows that the individual
farmer, not only in the South, but in
all parts of the,country, gives too lit
tie attention .to what he terms "quali-
ty production and economical costs. f"
The best agricultural experts of the
country agree with the findings of
agricultural experiment stations of
South Carolina, Alabama, Mississip-
'pi and other Southern States that
quality production and economical
costs furnish the surest route toeself-
sustaining cotton, wheat, corR and all
other agricultural products. % 9
The South Carolina experiment sta
stion has. conducted Investigations
with the lse of legumes in rotation
and the greater use of commercial
fertilizers. In these experiments nj
trogen equivalent to 222 pounds of
nitrate of sode, costing about $3.50,
gave an average increase in yield of
1877 bushels of corn per acre., or, it
may be calculated, little more than
two pounds of nitrogen costing about
SO cents, gave one bushel of corn or
an average value of $1.So.
Corn as it is grown on the average
Southern farm is frequently not a
profitable crop, due chiefly to low
yields per acre. The experiments of
the South Carolina station as well
as similar tests by the Alabama and
Mississippi experiment stations, how
ever, show that it can be made so.
In Alabama the application of 100
pounds of nitrate of soda gave an
increase of rs bushels per acre, ac-
cording to Station Bulletin No. 215.
The Extension Department of the
Mississippi Agricultural College has
pointed out that the use of 100 to 200
pounds of nitrate of sode per acre
increases the yield from 10 to 15
bushels per acre.
Demonstrations conducted in Miss
issippi by county agents in fifty-five
counties on 1893 acres of land show
ed an average increase of 18 bushels
per acre. The 954 club boys report
ed on 976O acres and showed an in
crease of 25 bushels per acre. These
results were due to the use of nitrate
of soda as fertilizer.
Reports to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture back up the
state experiments, indicating that
profitable corn and other feed crops
can be grown in the South, and with
permanent benefits to the farmers.

NEW ST. MARY'S BRIDGE TO BE
BUILT SOON; BIDS BEEN ASKED


Waycross, Ga.-The construction
of the new bridge across the st.
Mary's river will be started soon, as
the state highway department is ad-
vertising for bids.
The st. Mary's river is the boun-
Diary between Georgia and Florida on
the Central Dixie highway. From
Waycross to Jacksonville and on to
Miami this highway is continuously
paved.
The bridge is to be duplicate of
the memorial bridge across the Sa-
tilla river at Waycross, which has
been pronounced by experts the best
constructed bridge in Georgia. This
bridge cost approximately $125,000.
The new bridge across the st.
Mary's will be 361 feet in length and
entirely of reinforced concrete, not
one piece of wood being permitted
in the structure. There will be eight
spans, three Of them cantilever spans.
The middle span, or the one just over
the river, will be 75 feet in length.
The bridge will contain 1,49O cubic
yards of concrete and 100000 pounds
of reinforcement steel. The bridge
will be 81 feet higher than the low
water level.
Construction on the new bridge
must begin within 15 days after the
letting of the contract and must be
completed by October /, 1927. The
entire cost will be paid by Georgia,
Florida having built the one at
Wild's landing. The present bridge
will be used as the detour bridge
during construction.

THAT successful cities must be

successful business must be managed.
THAT( a city is simply big bust

THAT successful institutions al

THAT business that shows def

duce that deficit, and goes on year
after year with d heavier burden Of
debts would be regarded by any in
telligent person as in bad way, in

THAT continued, increase in debt
would make it very evident that con-

Park Commission act. by changing 1t
into a city and park planning commls-
sion. AS a. matter of fact. the ma
chinery for this nter-governmenta
cooperation is being put in motion
now, in an unofficial way. Repre-
sentatives of the governors of Mary
land and Virginia have been nomi-
mated to form a regional development
committee, with the city and park
planning committee of the National
Capit.l Park Commission as the
nucleus.
Committee Soon to Organize.
1t is expected that this entire COM
mittee will shortly hold meeting to
organize and to discuss preliminary
plans for the WAX of the body. This
committee. it 10 proposed, will be
legaliZed by the acts of the Govern
ment. and Aa.ryland and Virginia
Legislatures, and the commission
then will proceed with its work of
pla inning the great metropolitan area.
Each geographical division will main
tain it's present entity, and the com
mission mere'y Kill work out plans
which will he advisory, but when
each is expected to carry out IN
principle The adoption by the
MARY Ia nj lBefiSidluIe III EoiiiS- ~ 90
lation will furnish the implement
with which to carry out the regional
Improvement work there, and Will
help materially in avoiding some OF
the mistakes of other localities which
were discovered only after they had
developed.
Regarding the zoning in Maryland,
it was the consensus of the legal
minds of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation that so long as the
acts of the coming authorities bear
definite and substantial relation TO
these essential elements referred TO
by the Court of Appeals of Maryland
the essential features of both the
standard coming act and the regula'
tons promulGat ted hereunder would
be sustained by the highest court OF
MARYLAND 1t seems sufficient to point
out that the protection OF the
health. morals, safety or welfare OF
the community is in the basis for the
exercise of the police power possessed
by municipal and county govern
ments generally, and that this funda-
mental principle has been repeatedly
recognized by the highest court of
Maryland.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1926-02-28

THE discovery that it * practical
by city coming to carry out reason
able neighborlY agreements as 10 the
use of land has made an almost in
slant appeal to the American people.
When the advisory committee ON
zoning was formed in the Depart
mpnt of Commerce in september.
1921. only As cities and towns. win
less than II .nOO. 600 inhabitants. had
adopted coming ordinances. BY the
end of 1929. a little more than two
wears later. coming was in effect in
21S municipa lities. with more than
$4,000. 600 inha hitants. and new ones
are being added to the list each
month.
In this rapid movement the fun
damental legal basis on which zonlnE
rests cannot he overlooked. Several
of our States. fortunately. already
have coming enabling acts that nave
stood the test in their own courts.
This standard act endeaVors to pro-
vide So far as il is practicable to
foreSee that proper coming can be I'M
dertaken under it without injustice
and without violating property rights.
xThe committee did not make IT pun
lie until it had given ii the most eN-
acting and painStallinS study in re!a :
tiOn to existing state acts ana court
decisions and with reference to zon-
ing as Il has been practiced ana
found successful in cities and towns
throughout the country. Practlca
zonerS who have been associated
with a ma joritY of Zoned cltleS were
consulted for their opinions. and the
committee itself represents the pro-
fcssional commercial, and civkc So
cioties most interested in zoninS
problemS.

RY WILLIAM j. WHEATLE ley.

Zoning legislation for Montgomery
County. Md. will he pushed before
the Maryland LEGISLATURE when 1t
meets at Annapolis next year by the
montgomery County Civic Federation.
The federation is fully awakened TO
lrumpt adoption of such law at TINS
time in order that this section may
sake on an orderly growth in connec-
zion with the llans to make ii part
stf the metropolitan district of Wash
inGton.
The federation also will suggest to
the authorities of Prince Georges

hat they. too, work for such leGiSla-
ton.
The section bordering the District
has experienced phenomenal growth
during the past few wears, and those
having it's Improvement a heart real
i've that the time has arrived when
some form of legislation must he pro
vided for adequate streets and high
WAYS and regulation OF commercial de
Nelopment.
The entering wedge in the ZoninS

ab.ing act and which has successfully
been put into effect. but this act does
not embrace btHcf StCtloIlS vi WV

Part Of Great Movement.
While primarily a part of the move
ment for developing n great regional
area al ioining the Capital, the pro
poeal is a part of the idea which Is
sweeping the country and within the
past two years has gained remark
/ able Roadway. The forces of the
county are undismayed by the deci-
sons Of the Maryland Court of An-
peals in deciding two cases in Bal
timCre where coming was thrown out
because it was operating under a city
ordinance and not under an enabling
act of the Maryland Legislature.
Even in those decisions the court con
coded the right of the STATE to re-
strict the use of private property If
tho restriction hears some definite
and substantial relation TO the public
health morals. safety and welfare of
4 the community.
The law proposed for Maryland
will follow The standard coming en-
abling act recommended by the De-
partment of Commerce committee on
coming, and as AN evidence of the
spread of the idea the statement of
Secretary Hoover. of the department
of Commerce accompanying the re-
port on coming in the United states
