An Outing in the 'Sos
Via Streetcar

Tnere was little WINDOW
shopping along F street on
Sunday in those days. many
Of the displays being hidden
behind drawn curtains, giving
the street the atmosphere of
a deserted village.
One of the exciting events
after crossing the wooden
bridge over Rock Creek was
changing horses at the car
barn on P street. We felt
real sympathy for those tired
animals which had brought
us thus far on our journey.
They were certainly not aris-
tocrats of the horse family
and often looked a bit
scrawny. However, they were
in a class by themselves and
gave their lives in the public
service.
That reminds US that on
steep hills a third horse was
hooked on to increase power.
He was fittingly known as the
Hill Horse"
After leaving the car in
Georgetown. we walked down
the steep hill to the Aqueduct
Bridge and thence across to
Rosslyn. On our way, we
crossed the Chesapeake g.
Ohio Canal, where a long line
of boats were tied up along
the banks, mules grazing
alongside. Boatmen and their
families we're strolling along
the toWpath or gathered
here or there, discussing
whatever it was canal people
talked about on their day Of
rest. The boat-decks were
gayly decorated with the
weeks wash.
Here we also looked with
WanderluSt at the three and
four maSted schooners moored
to wharves along the Poto-
mac. These vessels were un-
loading ice shipped from
the Kennebec and Penobscot
Rivers in Maine to be stored
in warehouses in Georgetown
for future delivery.
The press. in those ancient
days referred to our beloved
stree tears as "unwarmed,
half cleaned, i'll ventilated
and otherwise uncomfortable,
of slender capacity and few
in number" Be that as it
may, they were a delight to
youngsters and a JOY ride
from the turntable to George
town and return on a Sunday
afternoon was an event long
to be remembered.

~ l16 Iii llllIlB udyS Vi LLlc
Il '80s, streetcars served two
purposes; to get you TO and
from your place of business
and to afford a 10y ride" for
children.
1t was as youngsters that
we found them a source OF
delight. especially on a Sun
day afternoon.
Our ride would begin at the
turntable at Ninth and East
Capitol streets, then the ter
minus of the Metropolitan
Railway; our destination, far
off Georgetown.
The car was drawn by two
horses, the driver also acting
as fare -taker.
Almost the same route was
followed then as today, but
there has been a most de-
cided change in equipment,
scenery and places OF interest.
Then there was much bounc-
ing of the car due to its short
wheelbase. This we greatly
enjoyed. There was, too, much
grinding of brakes as frequent
stops were made on signal to
take on or let off passengers.
At times we would really
pick up speed. The rate must
have been at least six miles
an hour. We were very fond
of the horses and thought
them quite intelligent. They
could sight a prospective pas
senger a block away and al
ways stopped of their own
accord at railroad stations,
hotels and the foot of hills.
Georgetown was farther
away from our starting point,
measured in time, than 1t is
today, and our trip, including
a stop-off at the end of the
route, took the better part OF
an afternoon.
Many of the buildings
pointed out to us at that time
are gone. We can only imagine
Grant Row." where the Lii
brary of Congress now stands;
the stop at the Baltimore g.
Ohio Railroad Station, New
Jersey avenue and C street
NV; the British Embassy on
Connecticut avenue and the
Chinese Legation at Dupont
Circle.

why there is a car shortage now is
also factor in relieving the storage
situation. There was a heavy move
ment of old wheat out of the state
during July. The cars that hauled
this wheat aren't back yet but they
made much room available in farm
bins and elevators.
The bureau of agricultural eco
Monies reported that in July of this
year there was AZ percent less grain
stored on farms and elevators in the
state than there was in July, 1949.
We start the season then with more
storage space than in some previous
years.
Further factors that will help to
relieve the situation are the lateness
of the season and the variation in
the maturity of the crop, which will
extend the harvest period.
More Barley
A complication, however, will be
the heavy production of barley this
year. Many producers put acreage
taken out of wheat into barley and
the crop is good. Most of this grain
will have to be stored on the farm.
Few elevators will be able to accept
it for storage and, with the car
shortage, little can be moved for
cash.
This special problem is being met
to considerable extent in the Tri-
angle area by the 0,000-bushel
storage capacity set up by the Com
modify Credit Corp. this summer.
(See story page IT'D
But the storage situation will be
critical in the state this fall How
seriously it will affect any one grow
er will depend to a large extent upon
how much bin capacity he has on his
place.

Car Shortage, Bumper Crop
Stress Farm Storage Need

HAVING PLENTY of on-the-farm
storage will be mighty important to
grain producers again this fall. 1t
has been for the last several harvest
seasons and it will be no less, per-
haps even more, so this time.
First, we have what is now esti-
mated to be the second largest crop
in the history of the state coming
on. Second, there's serious short
age of box cars to move it. That
may or may not mean that noun
tains of wheat will again have to be
piled on the ground for time.
There's no doubt that we'll have
near record amount of grain to
handle and there's also no doubt that
the box car shortage is serious, per-
haps more serious than ever before.
Here's the way one major railroad
serving the grain area of the state
put it:
Half as Many Cars
Last year during the third week
in August one division of the rail
road loaded out 1924 cars of grain
During that same week this year it
loaded out only 615 cars. In both
cases the number of cars loaded rep
resented all the cars available for the
given week. That would mean then
that there are fewer than half as
many cars available this year as last.
OF course, the season was earlier
last year and more cars were needed
during that week. The 615 cars
loaded this year more nearly met the
demand but railroad officials adj
mitted that an additional $50 cars
were ordered that week, which they
could not provide.
More Space

grains by controlling seed-borne
smuts and scab.
Crop experts everywhere recommend
"Ceresan." It's been the standard for
many years.
Cross and IesUmes, TOO, benefit
from seed treatment. Under many
conditions, treatment with half
pound of Du Pont "Arasan" enables
100 pounds of alfalfa seed to pro-
duce better stand than 800 pounds
of untreated seed. "Arasan" seed
treatment shows similar benefit for
most other legumes and grasses.

Scores Act to QuoIify
Under New Rulings of
CopitoI Health Agency

Scores Of dairy farmers in this
area were moving today to qualify
for shipping milk to the Washing
ton market after July /, effective
date of the ban on milk importa-
ton from farms not inspected by
the District Health Department.
The Health Department said it
had received inquiries from ap-
proximately 100 producers. mostly
from the Eastern Shore of Mary
land, since the Commissioners yes
terday decided to allow permits
to farmers using chemical steril-
ization methods.
Until yesterday, local regula-
tions required sterilization of
equipment by steam. This cut off
many producers who were. not set
up for that method.
Test Charts Lacking.
Health officials said the farmers
inquiring about applying for per-
mits to ship here did not have the
required tuberculosis test charts
to submit with their applications.
Many of these charts are on file
with the Maryland Health De-
partment.. and the producers
planned today to obtain photostat
copies. These farmers potentially
could add some $4,000 gallons of
milk a day to the District market.
The Health Department expects
to start sending out inspectors to
these farms Monday.
The ban effective July l will
cut off some 10000 gallons of
milk a day from the District mar
ket. 1t ends a wartime measure
adopted in 1912.
Miller Asks Law Repeal.
Meanwhile, Representative Mil
Ter. Republican, of Nebraska yes
terday introduced bill in the
House to permit importation of
milk from any point in the coun-
try where the product conforms
to the requirements of the United
States Public Health Service.
That bill would repeal the pres
ent District milk law. 1t would
authorize new regulations which
Mr.. Miller said would permit the
Health Department here to ac-
cept inspections of dairies by
health departments of other
States.
