TALL STALKS

Flowing Of a field in which
corn, hemp or some other plant
Is fully grown and standing as
high as 10 feet, hitherto consid.
cred an impossibility, has been
made practical by the invention
Of a new type of "plow guide
by two engineers of the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.
Leonard G. Schoenleber and
Archie H. Glaves, of the Bureau
of Agricultural Engineering, are
responsible for the new device.
Described as a "U-shaped loop,
slightly conical, made of sheet
metal usually about one-sixteenth
Of an inch thick" it acts as a
funnel for guiding standing
stalks into the bottom of a fur
row in such a manner that the
pillow turns them under the soil.
A public patent on the inven-
ton has been granted. and farm
officials hope that manufacturers
will soon place it on the market.

SANITATION
IN COUNTY
Sewage Outlets in Two Towns
And Open Sewers Will
Be Eliminated

Long-complained-of sewer con-
ditions in Prince Georges County
will be remedied by the $650,000
loan and grant given the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission by the Public Works Ad-
ministration.
In addition to work on the
sewer system in the county new
water mains will be lai d,
strengthening that system in the
area, according to Robert B.
Morris, chief engineer Of the
sanitary commission.
Will Complete Trunk Line
Included in the work will be
completion of the Northwest
branch trunk sewer from Grape
Street in Mt. Rainer to Baden
burg where it will connect with
the Northeast branch trunk sys-
tenn.
This will eliminate all sewage
outlets into the branch in Hyatts-
vile and Colmar Manor.
The northeast branch trunk
sewer will be extended from Bla-
densburg to Riverdale, doing
away with open sewers in EdmonS-
ton and Giverdale.
EXTENSION PLANNED
Later it is planned by commits
sion officials to extend the sewer
trunk line to College Park and
Berwyn.
A force main will be constructed
at Bladensburg and new trunk
line will be built in Mt. Rainier,
connecting with the town system
and emptying into the northeast
branch south of Colmar Manor.
Chief among the water projects
to be started with the funds will
be the laying of 80 and 36-inch
pipe from the present terminus
in Takoma Park to College Park.
The new main will run along Uni
versity Lane.
This will provide sufficient wa
ter at all times for the residents
of the county with no fear of a
drouth, officials made known.
The line will pump drinking
water directly from the Burnt
Mills dam in Montgomery County.

Destined for Rebuff

RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 6 U.S0.
Despite the aggressive campaign
waged by Virginia Republicans, all
indications today pointed to the
Old Dominion returning a one.
sided victory for the entire Demo
cratic slate in the general cleo
ton tomorrow.
Although the so-called Demo,
cratic machine" headed by Sen
ator Harry Flood Byrd, has been
under heavy fire from G. o. P.
spokesman, there was no doubt in
the minds Of political observers
that Virginia would remain in its
traditional Democratic position.
In addition to Byrd, appointed
TO fill the unexpired term of Sen.
ator Swanson, who retired to be.
come Secretary of the Navy, and
who is now up for election, Vir.
ginia voters will elect a governor,
lieutenant governor, attorney gen.
eral and numerous local officials.
Byrd is opposed By his cousin,
Major Henry A. Wise. It has
been a bitter campaign, with Wise
hammering on the fact that Byrd
opposed the beer bill and other
measures urged by President
Roosevelt.
Judge George C. Peery, Demo
cratic candidate for governor
has been asSailed for laxity in the
State corporation commission, OF
which he was chairman until last
spring. He is opposed by Fred
w. McWane, Of Lynchburg.
In the race for lieutenant gov.
ernor, James c. Price is opposed
by j. Powell Yoyall, and Clarence
r. Ahalt is the G. o. P. candidate
for attorney general against John
r. Saunders, incumbent.

Richmond Faces
Car Fare Increase

RICHMOND. Va, Nov. 6.-With
the State corporation commits
sion apparently determined to
divorce the transportation and
power services of the Virginia
Electric and Power Company and
make a substantial reduction in
power rates, Richmond is con-
3ronted with the problem of saw
ing virtually bankrupt trolley and
bus line facilities.
Increased fares or a subsidy
for the transportation services
may be decided upon. Higher
fares would provide an oppor-
tunity to cut power rates, as the
company's transportation deficit
would be reduced, it is believed.

Roberts hit at the testimony Of
Harold E. Doyle, land valuation

QuiZzed For Two Days
Doyle has been on the witness
stand before the Commission for
week, giving the values he sets
on land owned oy the gas COM
panies, and has been undergoing
oss-examination at the hands Of
Roberts for two days.
Attacking the experts testi.

"That the said values and
appraisalS made by the said
Harold E. Doyle were not such
values as may be considered for
rate-making purposes, but were
in fact the estimates of the
witness based upon the Specula-
tive assumption that the lands

Of them, were for sale and that
purchasers existed ready, will

Public Opinion Is Looked On AS
Lever To Bring Him Into NRA

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-Chal-
lenged by the passive resistance OF
Henry Ford the administration
appeared today to be moving toward
spectacular test to determine
whether public opinion will swing
an effective club to enforce the
national recovery program.
There are large teeth in the re-
Covery act. But the adminiStla-
ton knows that in the final show
down, its program stands or falls
upon the measure OF popular sup
port behind it.
Unless President Roosevelt should
unexpectedly reverse General john
son there will be no attempt to in
woke official measures against the
pioneer of mass production and
high wages. Officials do not want
to make a martyr of Ford. Rather
the public will be encouraged to
pass by salesnen whose cars bear
no blue eagle.
Some have urged General john
son to make an example of Ford
and snap NRA's teeth Oh. lhia
prominent industrial figure who has
chosen to go it alone The automo-
bile code is in effect and Ford has
rot signed, therefore, under the
law the President could draw up
code and impose it on Ford.
But sensing the danger of stir-
ring up sympathy for manufac-
turer whose high wages and short
hours have been a trademark in
industry for 20 years, administra-
ton opinion here appears set
against any strong-atm action
which might be construed as pei
