Storage Made Available
For County's Loan Wheat

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ROCKVILLE, Md, July 29.-Otto
w. Anderson, county agent, an
nounced that wheat storage has
been made available to growers so
that they may obtain loans against
their 1899 crops.
The amount loaned will depend
upon the grade of wheat. What
is known as No. 2. light, garlicky
grade would command a loan of II
cents plus transportation cost to
Roanoke, Va.
Under the plan the grain will be
shipped under milling and transit
freight rates and stored to the &C
count of the grower. The wheat
stored may be reclaimed at any
time within seven months should
the price advance sufficiently to
pay storage and handling costs and
leave balance in favor of the pro-
ducer. If prices do not advance
the wheat would belong to the Gov
ernment, with no refund claim
against it at the end of seven
months, unless the grower wishes
to pay off the loan.
According to Mr.. Anderson the
number of applicants makes it prob
able that shipments will begin
within the next few days.

BALTIMORE, July 29. - New
fashions in Army equipment may
bring back old fashions in fighting
The Army will test its new fash

Virginia fields of Bull Run, where
Stonewall Jackson won his fame in
1861 and made it secure-with the
old-fashioned fighting-in 1862.
Gen. Jackson's men were success
full at the second battle of Bull Run
or Manassas as it is known in the
South-because they were trained
to march faster and longer than
the enemy They could sweep
around another army, raid its COM
municatlons and move out of dam
ger before they were caught.
Next month in the Sd Corps Area
maneuvers, the Army will pit an
other fast unit, using the new
fashioned motorized equipment
against two larger. slower forces.
The fast unit. a provisional division

trucks and supported by tanks and

Little Falls
Trunk Sewer
In Operation
Pollution Curb
In Bethesda Area
Is Completed

Completing the elimination of pol
luton in the Bethesda drainage
area, the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission this week
placed the Little Falls trunk sewer
in operation.
j. Donald Clagett, member of the
commission. announced the sewer
has been connected with the District
of Columbia system below Massa-
chusettS avenue extended. He said
the project cost about $4,000.
With one exception. Mr. Clagett
said, the Little Falls trunk sewer ends
the pollution problem in suburban
Montgomery County. The remaining
project to be built is the Woodside
outfalls sewer, which is on the
schedule for construction as a P. W.
A. project. Work on it will begin
within few weeks, according to
Mr.. Clagett.
In addition to the Little Falls
project, other major trunk sewers
built to eliminate pollution in Mont
gomery include those in Rock Greek
and Long Branch.
Incinerator Job to Be Let.
While concentrating on pollution
work in Montgomery, the Sanitary
Commission has been laying the
groundwork for erection of an in
cinerator in Prince Georges. A con-
tract for the incinerator, the first
to be erected in the Washington
suburan sanitary district, will be
let next month, according to J
Darby Bowman, commission secre-
tary.
Although the incinerator will be
located in Bladensburg and is in
tended primarily to care for refuse
disposal in Prince Georges, the COM
mission is reported to be trying to
work out arrangements to have
Montgomery refuse handled there
until an incinerator can be built
in the latter county. The refuse
problem has been causing consid-
cradle difficulty in Montgomery.
Pipeline in Operation Soon.
Meanwhile the Sanitary Commits
sion announced that its pumping
station and pipeline at Mink Hol-
low, near Ashton, Md, providing
water for suburban Prince Georges
and Montgomery Counties, would
be placed in operation next month
Designed as the first step in a
plan to obtain a water supply from
the PatuXent River, the pumping
station will have a daily capacity
of 100000 gallons. The water will
be pumped through 10000 feet OF
pipeline from the Patuxent River
to the headWaters of the Northwest
Branch of the Anacostia River.
The new installation, which will
cost about 100000, is expected to
eliminate dependence upon the Dis
trict water supply. Harry Shaw
deputy chief engineer, said the com
mission has found it necessary since
May to connect with the District
supply, purchasing sometimes as
much as 100000 gallons per day
An average of only 100000 gal.
Ions of water has been furnished by
the Northwest Branch this summer
he said.
