Okayed by Council

Three sidewalk construction
projects costing $3.50 will be
constructed in the Upper County
under a 100000 sidewalk pro
gram tentatively approved by the
County Council for the fiscal year
beginning next July 1.
In all some $3.50 feet of temp

built in the upper county. The
County will pay the entire cost
of these walks.
In Potomac, LOO feet of side
walk would be constructed be-
tween Falls Road and the Po-

cost of $2,400.
The largest project in the rural
area would be the construction
of $500 feet of walkway on Route

Farm Earnings Here Depend
On Spring Cultivation
Practices, Committee Says

water can be saved by contour
strip cropping. Without conser-
walton, soil loss was four times
greater on test corn land than
with the contour strips. Water
loss was 81 times greater on the
test plots when conservation
practices were not used.
Combined research has shown
that water run-off is cut almost
in half by comforting instead of
up and down cropping. On
pasture, run-off is less than half
of that from row field, and
when contours are used with
diversion terraces on field with
80 percent row crops, run-off is
reduced by more than tWo-thirds.
In the experimental research,
at peak rates over a period of
several years, water run-off was
estimated to be 48 cubic feet per
second on a 10-acre field with 100
percent row crops, compared with
% cubic feet for row crops on
the contour, % for pasture and
only Is cubic feet per second
when 80 percent of the area was
in row crops on the contour with
diversion terraces.

Crop production and farm earn
ings in 1854 in Montgomery
County will depend greatly upon
the cultivation practices adopted
this spring, according to expert
ence and research data reported
by the Committee for Conserva-
ton Now.
With farm prices depending
upon conditions beyond the
farmers control, such as con-
sumner demand, total production
and markets, farmers can still in.
fluence net income by the use of
the more efficient methods, the
Committee said.
Such natural conditions as the
amount of rainfall before and
during the crop growing season
also. will have a bearing on farm
earnings. The Committee pointed
out that farmers can partly con.
troll moisture conditions with
practices which store water in the
soil rather than let it run off.
The possibilities for increasing
net income through conservation
practices are shown by soil re-
search conducted by the Agricul-
tural Research Service of the
U. S. Department of Agriculture
in Maryland and adjoining states.
Experimental work at the Uni
versity of Maryland farm has
proved that soil, fertility and

Too Many Council
Meetings Scored
By Walker

The new County Council policy
of holding shorter but more
numerous sessions has agar
drawn blast from Grover
Walker.
Mr.. Walker Tuesday opposed
the scheduling pointed out that
would mean the council would
meet Monday night, Tuesday
afternoon and Wednesday and
Thursday nights that week.
Every meeting of the council
costs taxpayers $50 for each
councilmen who attends. That
means the meetings that week
could cost some $3.50.
Until the present president,
Harold F. Hammond took over,
the council had been holding all
day sessions on Tuesday.
Mr.. Hammond, who has said he
is unable to attend Tuesday morn
ing sessions regularly, met re-
Gently with County Manager E.
T. Beall and came up with a plan
for a short luncheon session fol
lowed by an open session at /
pm.
He said by getting rid of adj
ministrative details and shorten
ing the meetings, the council
would encourage good candidates
to run for office this year.
But some councilmen are not
so sure that they are making
the job so inviting when they plan
four meetings in one week.
The April Z meeting public
hearings on three street projects
in the suburban area-was neces-
slated because of the large num-
Der of hearings that must be held
before May /, Mr.. Hammond
said.
Mr.. Walker, however, all along
has insisted the council could
make care of a great deal of its
regular business on Tuesday
and schedule more hear
ings in the afternoon, So far he
has gotten little chance on the
Hammond controlled council to
get support for his views.

when it adopts the Budget.

-Four Arlington Registrars Sue
To Void Office Abolition

Efforts by four Arlington Pre-
cinct registrars to void an act
by the County Board last March
which abolished their Offices were
being made in Arlington Circuit
Court today.
Two suits. one involving Agnes
Briscoe. Katherine Dinges and
Elizabeth Summers and the Sec
ond, by Mary Further, were being
heard simultaneously by Judge
Walter T. Mccarthy.
They are among 81 local reg
istrars whose offices were abol-
ished by the Electoral Board
after the County Board passed a
resolution on March 90.
They claim that a special act
OF the 1854 General Assembly
prohibits the county from abol-,
isMng the Offices. =
Evening star., 1954-12-09

Attorneys Oren r. Lewis and
Frank L. Ball, ST., contended, on
the other hand, that the 1854 act
is invalid and unconstitutional
because the Legislature failed to
re-enact the entire section of
the law dealing with registrars
but. instead. attempted to modify
it by adding new language.
They also contended that Ar
lington Circuit Court previously
has ruled on the question and
therefore the issue has been set
tied. They referred to an earlier
suit brought by Commonwealth's
Attorney William j. Hassan, in
behalf Of the public. seeking to
declare the county boards reso-.
luton invalid. The court ruled
against MIR. aHsSan last spring.
Judge Mccarthy was expected
to rule later today.

The answer is no."
Despite political criticism of
the Eisenhower administration
and the 83d Congress during the
recent campaign. the incoming
Congress, he predicted, will not
repeal or materially change any
laws passed during the last two
years.
The Arlington legislator praised
the new tax law as an effective
overhauling of the outmoded
Internal Revenue Code. He
predicted the new Congress
would not cancel the Dixon
