CROSSING PARLEY

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
KENSINGTON. Md, January L.
Disclaiming responsibility for delay in
elimination of dangerous grade cross
ing here, Mayor L. B. Ernest and the
Kensington Town Council in letter 70
the Maryland State Road Commission
urge that conference be called for
consideration of the matter.
The letter was sent yesterday. as the
outgrowth of a special meeting Of the
Town Council held December 10.
Emphatic denial of blame for delay
in having the crossing eliminated Is
made in the letter, which points out
that although the town authorities
have been agitating for a removal of
the dangerous grade crossing at Ken
sington for nearly two years, no steps
have been taken"
Route Data Is Requested.
''The town." the letter continues. has
never been supplied with any complete
official engineering information or sur
veys of all proposed routes upon which
it could base a recommendation as to
the location of the new crossing. nor
has it been asked for such a recon-
mendation" Under State statute, the
letter points out, 'the only thing the
town government can do is to petition
for such elimination"
At the special meeting of the coun-
Gil a resolution was adopted suggesting
that engineers of the various govern
mental and private bodies interested
in the proposed elimination be request
ed to provide data based on complete
surveys. showing all suggested routes,
and submit such data to the munici-
pality. Mayor Ernest and the council
pledge themselves to "a conscientious
study of these surveys and plans" and
promise to make recommendation
based on their study.
Further Accidents Feared.
Concluding. the letter petitions the
State Roads Commission to call a con-
ference of interested organizations. as
provided for by statute, for consldera-
ton of the matter without delay. las 1t
is felt that another serious accident at
this crossing after the time which has
elapsed since the agitation for its elm
ination was started will reflect upon
prominent officials"

FARMERS ADVANCE.
THROUGH VIRGINIA
Agricultural Developments
Gain, With Great Strides
Made in Stock Raising.
~ the Associated Press.

1y the Associated Press.
/ RICHMOND, January Virginia, in
1928, made substantial gains in agri-
cultural development, with probably
outstanding advances being made in the
dairy, poultry and sheep industries, ac-
cording to officials of the State Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Although total crop valuation for
1928 showed decrease from that of
the preceding year. officials believe that
the State has maintained its steady
stride in developing along permanent
and substantial agricultural lines. Dur
ing the year just closed. Virginia pro-
gressed toward still greater diversity in
farming. thereby, in the opinion Of OFF,
cials, insuring the State added agri-
cultural prosperity.
Live Stock Gains Ground.
Live stock continued in 1928 to rise
TO greater prominence in agriculture in
Virginia. Live stock and live stock
products in 1928 contributed more than
40 per cent of the total farm income,
with live stock prices being generally
as favorable as in 1927 making the total
farm income during the year just closed
almost equal to that Of 1927, with more
favorable weather.
Dairying has shown considerable
progress in Southwest Virginia, where
four cheese factories and two milk con-
denseries established during the year
have created greater demand for milk.
The poultry indsutry during 1923
forged ahead steadily and this phase
of farming now is grown into one OF
the most important in the entire State,
The industry has shown especial gains
in the valley district and in Accomac
County.
Poultry Grade Standardized
Adoption of standard grading anC
inspection for poultry products is be
lieved by officials to have aided thi
industry probably more than any othe
one factor in the State. Under thu
new regulations poultrymen are re-
warded for producing products Of Su
perior x4;ality with higher prices.
