meeting of the Commissioners
The committee asked the
the Metropolitan Police Dep
period in traffic regulations for
new drivers.
They also called for a two
hour course for pedestrians as
an alternative to a fine when
there has been a traffic violation.
Traffic Director George E. Ke-
neipp recommended the training
period for new drivers, which
would include data on traffic
laws and the reasons for their
Importance. Mr.. Keneipp esti-
mated that some 10000 new driv-
ers would receive this training
each year.
Change Asked on Hackers
The committee also asked that
a change be made in the policy
concerning the re-application of
cab drivers whose hackers iden-
LITIGATION cards have been re-
voked. A driver now may re-
apply every six months indefi-
nitely. The recommendation
asks that drivers be allowed to
re-apply at two six-month in
tervals. If turned down both
times, an interval of a year would
have to pass before another APP
plication could be made. If turned
down a third time, a two-year
interval would be required be-
fore a driver could apply again.
After four turn-downs, a three
year waiting period would be
required.
The committee discussed rec
concentrations of the traffic and
safety committee of the WASH
ington Board of Trade, but did
not express its opinion on the
report pending action of the
board of directors of the Board
of Trade.
A main provision asks the
commissioners to request a free
survey by a manufacturer of
business tahulating machines of
all data in various existing traf-
f1c records.
Such a survey. it was ex-
planned, could lead to a central
filing system which would pro-
duce speedily all of the data on
any driver.
9 Mr.. Keneipp expressed the
opinion that the heart Of the
matter, in such a central records
system. would lie in merging the
records of the Central Violations
Bureau. which records parking
violations. and the Central Driv-
er File. which records more Sc
rious moving violations.
He declared he feels nothing
could be accomplished by this
and added, Il doubt if you'll find
one State in this country" that
handles its records this way. 1T
would indeed be pilot study be-
cause you wouldn't find another
one like it"

An actual on-the-farm test is the
best way to prove the value Of a
new product.
Frank w. Gilliam's farm Is one
Of the pilot farms in Prince Edward
County that tests new varieties and
methods in agriculture.
Gillian is currently testing time
of harvest for dark-fired tobacco
In recent years he has expert
mented with Anderson wheat varie-
ties. 426 corn variety. and run high
analysis fertilizer tests.
E. F.. Striplin. Prince Edward
county agent. said Gillian is one
of the top tobacco growers in the
area and the Virginia Experiment
Station picked him to make the
time Of harvest" experiment. The
various experimental tobaccos will
be sold December 10.
1t was at the suggestion Of j. w
Huntington. president of Dunning-
ton Tobacco Company, that the
tests on proper time to harvest to-
bacco were started G. M. Mathews
tobacco specialist at VPI. arranged
the details
The experiment was started last
year and continued this year Dry
weather has interfered with the
tests this year Striplin pointed
out The experiment is set up to
cut part Of the tobacco early.
another cutting 10 days later and
the last when the tobacco Is com
pletely ripe. Because Of the mid
summer drynesS, only two cuttings
were made this year
Striplin said if the experiment is
run for several more years. this
years results will probably be
thrown out as not average.
Last year, the medium ripe Oh
second cutting showed up best.
said Gillian. The buyers liked it
best.
However it appears that money
wise, the late harvest brought just
as much or more income Some of
the tobacco in the first and second
cutting was too green" Gillian
added
Striplin explained that no definite
results can be picked from expert
mentinp lust one wear bllt the tests
must be run over a period Of years
to get definite pattern.
Gillian operates his 1872 acre farm
by himself, using hired labor oc-
casionally at harvest time. He also
swaps work with several of his
neighbors on jobs that require more
than one person
With IS acres cleared on his farm.
