RAILROADS ON EASTERN
SHORE MAY Be MERGED
Over Six Hundred Miles Of Tracks
May Be Operated By Pennsy
Company.

While railroad officials here said
they could make no predictions as tC
the future of the Baltimore, Chesa.
peake and Atlantic Railroad as the
result of the death of Turnbull Muir
dock, president and general man.
ager of the road, reports and rumors
are current in both transportation
and business circles in the city.
The report most frequently repeat
ed was that the Pennsylvania Rail
road will assume direct operations
of the B. C. and A as well as other
rail lines on the peninsula and that
all railroads south of Wilmington
NAV be placed under one directing
official. This would mean the merg-
ing of operations of rail lines with
a combined mileage of 628.9, serving
nearly every town of size in this
section.
It is assumed that A. ]. County,
vice-president of the Pennsylvania
and also of the B. c. and A., will
act as Mr.. Murdock's successor until
final arrangements are made. If the
presidency of the road is filled by an
OL0eT OUlCldls LA4C ~~~~sS
he made within a few days, 1t was
said, but should such a merger occur
several months will Sfpass before
definite plans are announced.
The Pennsylvania Railroad for the
past few years has held control OF
the B. C. and A. stock and recently
the former company purchased the
latters bonds, so that the destiny OF
the B. c. and A. is in the custody
of the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Should all Eastern Shore railroads
be merged into a single unit for
operating purposes it is believed that
the B. c. and A. and other branch
lines would be used as feeder lines
for the main road south from Will
mington to Cape Charles and Nor
folk.
The roads which would be affected
by such a merger would include the
following:
Delaware and Norfolk divisions,
including the Cape Charles and Girls
field branches, a coverage of 221.9
miles; Chestertown and Centreville
branch, 549 miles; Oxford Branch,
54 miles; Cambridge Branch, 1928
miles; Newark and Delaware City
Branch 1913 miles; Delaware, Mary
land and Virginia Railroad, 1919
miles; B. C. and A., 1921 miles.
The only other railroad on the
peninsula, the Baltimore and Della
ware Coast, operating from Denton
Md, to Lewes, Del, is privately
owned.
The B. C. and A., and its sub
sidiary, the Baltimore and Virginia
Steamboat Company, also operate at
present twelve steamers between
and Love Point, Baltimore
and Claiborne, Wicomico River Line,
Plankatank River Line, ChOptank
River Line. The water routes cover
$50 miles.

INJECT BACTERIA
TO HELP CROPS,

Cultures Being Prepared to
Carry Out Remarkable
Promise.
BIZ NEA Serric

BIZ NEA Service
MADISON, Wis, April 29.-Little
colonies of bacteria injected into
some of the growing crops will save
the farmers of the United States
millions of dollars year at a cost
Of only a few thousand.
This is the remarkable promise
made to the country's farmers by
Ira T. Baldwin of the University of
Wisconsin, where he is preparing
cultures for just such use.
S4,OOO,OOO Saving
Iegume incubation is what Bald
win has found of especial interest
for the present. Experiments he has
made show that for the State Of Wis
consin alone incubation of alfalfa,
among the legume crops, would save
that State more than 100000 a
year at a cost of about $4,000.
Little nodules of bacteria inocu-
lated into this growing crop take in
the free nitrogen of the air, which
the plants themselves cannot use d.
rectly, and turn it into the nitrates
that are SO useful to plant growth.
For this the bacteria take the sugar
that the legumes have converted
within their leaves.
Both Prosper
BY this simple trade of sugar for
nitrates, the bacteria prosper and
the legume plants grow more health
lily. Thus, Baldwin found, the addi-
tional nitrogen fertilizer gained by
bacteria incubation, increased the
protein from 227.5 pounds in a ton
of hay to sos pounds. At cents a
pound the increased protein value is
$4.37 a ton.
With an alfalfa crop Of some go
100000 tons a year, the country
would experience quite a saving, in
that legume alone.

The law which was sponsored by

five years experience except for
grave reasons. Some school authori-
ties, however, have been reluctant
to renew contracts for the sixth year
because it automatically places the
teacher on the indefinite tenure list.

TITLE INSURANCE

The large number of inquiries

Company daily regarding title in

of j. l.. Morrison, sales director of

anxious for q detailed explanation
of this important protection. With
this in view, Mr.. Morrison has is

animation of the findings, plus a

safeguards which cannot be included

he is buying a marketable property.
1t protects the property involved
against possible loss by some minor
flaw which might be discovered in
the title. 1t greatly facilitates quick
er and easier loans on property.
Only by including title insurance in
the transaction can these and many
other requisites be possible.
little insurance is now being used
exclusively in several of the larger
States. 1t is being used extensively
in many communities throughout
the Nation. In fact. in some loca-
tons it has taken the place of abb

because of the advantages it offers
that this condition will some day
exist throughout the United States.
THAT the people of Indiana are
fast realizing the necessity, conven-

shown by the fact that the great ma

Car-owners have found that it pays
to provide a satisfactory garage in
which to house their automobiles

ment and term arrangements which
make it convenient for car-owners to
pay for the garage.
The new garage is of frame con-
