New Bus Line For
Olney Seen Likely
By Civic Group
Second Meeting On Pro-
posed Line Will Be Held
Monday - Offer Made By
Safeway Trails, Inc.

Possibility of securing bus trans
nortation for Olney district and
the surrounding territory bright
ened considerably this week after
meeting on bhe subject Monday
night in Silver Spring brought
forth an offer from an out-of-
town bus line to establish line
if guaranteed a $50 day mini
mum.
AS a result of the progress
made at the first conference, a
second meeting has been called
for Monday night at the Silver
Spring county building to which
residents of all points along Geor-
gia avenue extended north of
Montgomery Hill are being in
vited.
An invitation also has been
sent to the Capital Transit Com
pany which now operates most Of
the bushes that traverse Mont
gomery County. The present
Capital Transit Line on Georgia
avenue, however, extended north
ward only to the Forest Glen
road a short distance beyond Sill
yer Spring.
The offer to establish q new line
for minimum of $50 day was
made by William A. Roberts,
fomer Peoples Counsel of the
District of Columbia and now at
torney for several bus interests.
His offer was made on behalf Of
Safeway Trails, Inc, which has
a bus terminal at 18th street and
New York avenue, N. W., in
Washington.
Under the Roberts proposal his
company would send buses on
four round trips to Olney each
day at a rate of 2 cents per mile.
On this basis, it was estimated
that the fare would be about 30
cents to Norbeck and the Manor
Club and about 40 cents to Olney.
1t was intimated by Mr.. Rob-
erts that if the line is established,
his company might consider ex-
tending the route northward
through Brookeville to Cookesville
in Carroll County where it would
connect with another line operated
by the same company running
from Baltimore along the national
pike to Western Maryland.
The new Olney pike, if estab-
ished, would be a strictly rural
route and would not take on or
discharge passengers south of the
northern terminus of the present
Capital transit line.
1t would, however, provide bus
transportation to residents Of
Wheaton, Layhill, Glenmont, Nor
beck and Olney who now have no
public transportation system Of
any kind and must depend on
automobiles.
The meetings on the bus prob
lem are being called by residents
Of the areas affected. William F.
Carlin, realtor of Silver Spring,
mas been named temporary chair
man. Others who are taking an
active part include Mrs. Clara
May Downey, proprietor of the
olney Inn, and Vincent Tutching,

County Farmers
Store Wheat
At Germantown
Farm Bureau Sponsors
Move With Extension Serv-
ice and Conservation Com
mittee

Cooperation on the part of the
Farm Bureau, Agricultural Con-
servation Committee and the Ex-
tension Service, University of
Maryland, made it possible for
Montgomery County farmers to
store wheat and obtain a Govern
ment loan on it. The first storage
certificate presented to the County
Agent was for wheat stored by
the President nf the Montgomery
County Farm Bureau, Mr.. James
D. King, Germantown.
Loans are contingent upon
three conditions:
az 1t must be produced by
the farmer who presents it for
storage.
(2) Free of liens.
(3) Produced on the farm
which did not exceed the 1889
allotted acreage for wheat.
With these provisions satisfied,
loan rates are according to the
grade of wheat.
No. 2 wheat, 73c per bushel.
No. 2 Wheat, light garlicky,
Tic per bushel,
No. 2 Wheat, heavy garlicky,
67c per bushel.
No. 8 Wheat, Tic per bushel.
No. Wheat, light garlicky,
69c per bushel.
No. 3 Wheat, heavy .garlicky,
65c per bushel. @
Before presenting the wheat
to the warehouse for storage, the
office should be notified to make
sure that the wheat qualities for
a loan. It may then be hauled
and a certificate presented to the
county office showing the number
of bushels and grade established
by the warehouseman, after
which, the money will be obtained
from a local bank, secured by a
warehouse certificate.
These loans are made with the
provision that the farmers will
receive the difference between the
ultimate selling price and the loan
price, plus storage and interest
charges. Should it not bring
within seven months a sufficient
price to satisfy these charges and
leave a profit, it becomes the
property of the United States
through the Commodity Credit
Corporation. 1t also hedges the
farmer against price lower than
the loan value, in event Of de-
clining market value.
Storage for the wheat is pro-
vided by the Liberty Milling
Company, Germantown, managed
by A. R. Selby, whose elevators
have a capacity of 100000
bushels. Others who have taken
advantage of this move are Basil
Mobley, Derwood; Charles Green,
Gaithersburg; and Joseph G.
Howes, Germantown.
Started about six weeks ago,
offers since have been made from
Richmond, Roanoke and Lees
burg, Virginia. The distance
being too great to these centers,
the Montgomery Farmers pre-
vailed upon the Germantown Com
pany for storage.
Designed to aid small farmers,
this is the first county storage
of Government Wheat in Mary
land. o. w. Anderson, County
Agent has charge of issuing
certificates.

ACRICULTURISTS
ATTEND LARGE
JUNE MEETING

More than $50 leaders in agricul-
ture, representatives of Maryland,
Delaware, Virginia, North Carolina,
and eastern West Virginia., attended
the third session of Southern States
University held at Richmond, Va, on
June &c and q, according to L. E.
Raper in charge of the University.
Among the speakers heard on the
program were DR.. T. B. Symons, Act
ing Dean and Extension Worker, Uni
versity of Maryland, College Park,
Maryland; DR.. Gordon H. Ward, Ag-
ricultural Economist; DR.. T. B. Hutch
eson,, Agronomist, and G. w. Hold
away, Professor, Virginia Polytechnic
Institute, Blacksburg, Virginia; and
w. G. Wysor, General Manager, South
ern States Cooperative, Richmond,
Virginia.
DR.. Symons declared before the
group that through cooperation high
er standard of living for farm people
had been assured; he stated that "a
cooperative life meant a more album
dant life"
DR.. Ward assured the listeners that
farmers were showing more enthus-
iasm each year over the results OF
their cooperative activities and de-
clared that greater number of neces-
sites would soon be made available
to the farmer through cooperatives
because farmers were demanding it.
Dr.: Hutchinson stated that the only
way fertility would remain on the land
would be that all crops raised on that
land be consumed on that land and the
family be buried on that land. mas
much as this is practically impossible
declared DIR. Hutchinson, fertility must
be added to the land each year.
Mr.. Wysor pointed out to the group
the important part they were playing
in making the lives of farmers more
secure through helping to bring about
more economic farm operation.
The first session of Southern States
University was held three years ago
at which time it was felt that the
gathering together of leaders in the
agricultural field would prove a val
liable asset in the advancement of the
cooperative movement.
Southern States Cooperative, q
farmer-owned and controlled organi-
cation with 100000 members living
in the five states before mentioned
now operate in the interest of farm
ers three large feed mills, three large
fertilizer plants, one of which is the
largest iNthe world owned by farm
ers organization, and three seed and
farm supply warehouses.
This cooperative, since its organi-
zation sixteen years ago, has grown
from farmer membership of 500
members who put through their or
ganization a 100000 business, to a
100000 membership who last year put
through their organization more than
a $4,000, 100000 business.

Unsuccessful in reaching an agree
ment yesterday, representatives OF
union building laborers and contrac-
tors will hold another conference to-
morrow at 1920 am. in an effort to
avert strike of 1900 workers sched-
uled to begin Monday.

Pun-Americu Race to Colombo
Planned by Argentinon
Auto Club Executive Would Sturt Drivers
From New York and Buenos Aires in 1912

tell of the widely varied and color
full countries to be seen.
It's an a part of the vast projected
highway between the Americas,
however, and that is of paramount
interest to Senor Anesi. In 1898, in
Buenos Aires, Senor Anesi published
a book, La Carretera Pan Ameri-
cana" which tells of all the roads
through the two continents and
many countries of the Americas.
All the seemingly endless miles OF
roads to Bogota from New York,
and from Buenos Aires are passable
now, Senor Anesi says, with the
exception of few stretches.
Impossible Jungle En- Route.
Most notable of these, and the
one which presents the most diff
cult problem is some $50 miles be-
tween Chepo. in Panama, and the
northern border of Colombia, in
South America. Here, he points out,
is pure and impossible jungle. with
no road, not even mule path.
But he is determined that a punv
stretch Of territory measuring less
than 300 miles will not stop a race
which has as its course some 10000
miles altogether. IF there is still
no road there in 1912" Senor Anesi
says, then we will ferry the cars
across to the nearest road"
Senor Anesi has been in the United
States for several months, touring
the Eastern States, with side trips
to Cuba already completed. After
the convention here, he and Sonora
Anesi will get in their car and take
another tour to Cuba, and then to
Monterrey, Mexico. From there, his
thoroughly American driver, Bill
Leary, will drive them to California,
north to Vancouver and still fur
ther north to Alaska, where the
noithernmost point of the Inter-
American highway is located.

President Better;
To Work Tomorrow

President Roosevelt's head cold
and sinus affection were reported
today to have been considerably i'm
proved. but on the advice of his phy-
sician he will remain in his quar-
tiers on the second floor of the White
House until tomorrow.
DR.. Ross T. McIntire, Surgeon
General of the Navy and White
House physician. said today that the
President was very much better and
that his temperature had been re-
duced to less than q a degree and
that he expected the President to
be up and around tomorrow and
would consent to his doing some
work at that time. 1t is likely also
that the President on Sunday after
noon will go for a cruise down the
Potomac, returning to the White
House before dark.

Long distance auto racers will
have their fill of their occupation If
the plans of Carlos P. Anesi go
through.
Senor Anesi is purposeful and
planning citizen of Buenos Aires, Ar
gentina, and, in his capacity as first
vice president of the Automobile
Club Of Argentina, represents that
country at the general assembly of
the International Association of Rec
ognized Automobile Clubs, being
held here this week
His ambitious proposal is to have
staged an auto race to start sim
ultaneously from New York and
Buenos Aires, with the finish line for
both section to be in Bogota, Co.
lombia.
For this really immense under
taking, Senor Anesi has set definite
date OF October II, 1912. He ex-
plains that If a definite time to
start is not set. departments of roads
in all countries have an annoying
habit of putting off work to be done.
Then, too, in 1912. the 45Oth ami
Versary of the discovery of the
Americas by Christopher Columbus
will be celebrated. and the estab-
llshment of the finish line in Co.
lombia is in recognition of the dis
covery.
The unadorned statement of fact
that such a race is even projected
does not however, reveal the tre-
mendous undertaking such an event
will be.
Through Several Countries.
Starting from New York, a racer
would travel through at least a
dozen Of the United States. and then
through arid and then mountainous
Mexico, through Guatemala and San
Salvador, through Honduras, Mica
ragua. Costa Rica to Panama. These
names list easily enough, but don't
