CONFERENCE SPURS ARLINGTON ROADS iLeaders of Two Factions i Announce That Differences Have Been Averted. . Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. CLARENDON, Va., January 26.—Ap- parent differences between two dele- gations which have announced their in- tention of attending the public hear- ing on the Virginia State road alloca- tions at Charlottsvill next Tuesday have been averted it was announced yesterday by leaders of the two factions, with the result that additional funds will be sought of the State for the construction of two important highways through Arlington County. The two leaders, proponent of the widening and surfac- ing of Glebe road, and Dr. Samuel M. Johnson, president of the Lee Highway Association and advocate of the im- mediate construction of the Lee Boule- vard, had a conference yesterday after- noon that lasted for two hours and re- sulted in the reaching of an agreement, it was said. Undismayed by the fact that but $180.000 has been tentatively allocated to the county for road construction in 1929, $100,000 of which is to be used in a continuance of the Lee Highway and the other for the widening of the lower Washington-Alexandria road, the delegations will request additional al- locations that will be of sufficient size at least to make a start on the two other road projects. Memorial Bridge Problem. Neither Glebe road nor the Lee Boule- vard was included in the tentative allocations, leaving the Virginia end of the new Arlington Memorial Bridge a problem that must be solved before next year, the time announced by Col. S. Grant, 3d. director of public buildings and public parks of the Dis- trict, for the completion of the bridge. Dr. Johnson hopes to persuade the Btate road commission to apportion at least enough money to build a sufficient portion of the Lee Boulevard to con- nect the end of the new bridge with the northwest corner of Fort Myer Reservation, at which point temporary connections can be made with other State roads until sufficient funds are available to carry the road on to Falls Church. Dr. Johnson announced that most uf the deeds for a 200-foot right of way have already been secured and scored recent rumors that he had abando: ~his hope for a 200-foot right of v and was now ready to accept a 100-foot right of way. Foreman and his delegation are equally confident that the widening and paving of Glebe road is a project that needs immediate attention. Almost Impassable in Places. This highway, Foreman said, is the only road that spans the county from the southern to northern end. In its present condition it is almost impassable in places, thereby presenting a menace in that fire apparatus is prevented from reaching some property on the road, to say nothing of prevmflnfi direct travel between the upper and lower ends of the county. . Just what the two delegations may expect to receive is a matter of con- jecture. It is possible for the com- mission to reallocate some of the funds tentatively allocated to other counties in the district. As to what may be accomplished none would attempt to surmise, but it now seems reasonably certain that the two dele&nflons may work with some degree of harmony in the presentation of their cases. Failure of the commission to provide any funds for the widening of Gleb2 road, which has been owned by the State for a number of years, will result in the loss of the 40,000 feet of free rights of way that have been signed by roperty owners, the offers in all cases fmmg but a year, Foreman said. The rights of way have been secured by his delegation. CRAMTON TO ADDRESS VIRGINIA PLANNERS Arlington, Fairfax and Alexandria Chambers of Commerce Meeting Set for February 4. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. FAIRFAX, Va., January 26.—Repre- sentative Louis C. Cramton of Michi- gan, author of the Cramton bill for purchase of park sites in the metropoli- tan area of Washington, and Maj. Carey Brown and C. W. Eliot, 2d, of the Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission will be the speakers at a spe- cial meeting called by the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce to con- sider methods of co-operating with the Federal authorities in the proper de- velopment of this section of northern Virginia. At a meeting of the Fairfax County Chamber of Commerce, held in Herndon January 8, Col. U. S. Grant, while outlining tentative plans for the regional development of this section, stated that his commission felt greatly handicapped by the fact that no one person or commission in Virginia was authorized to deal with questions con- cerning the zoning or development of any considerable area. Under the pres- ent special Virginia statute the super- visors of the two counties and the city council of Alexandria are authorized to deal separately with a Federal com- mission, but there is no way in which any majority decision can control. Acting under instructions of the di- rectors of the Fairfax County Chamber, Mrs. E. D. Vosbury, secretary, after a conference with P. P. Woodbridge, sec- retary of the Arlington Chamber, and J. T. Preston, secretary of the Alexan- dria Chamber, has arranged for a joint meeting of the directorate of the three chambers, together with the members of the Arlington-Fairfax-Alexandria Real Estate Board, to be held Monday night, February 4. in the schoolhouse at An- nandale.

WASHINGTON, D. ¢, SEED TALK GIVEN LEESBURG SESSION Virginia Farmers Told How to Avoid Loss by Maryland University Man. Special Dispatch to The Star. LEESBURG, Va. January 26.—The Virginia Crop Improvement Association convention held in connection with the State corn and grain show closed yes- terday. Prof. J. E. Metzger, head of agronomy department, University of Maryland, spoke on “Profits From the Use of Good Seeds.” He said that in no case does the seed cost, even where the very best is purchased, represent more than 10 to 15 cents out of every dol- lar spent on the production and har- vesting of the crop. “Poor seed may cause complete crop failures and heavy financial losses,” he said. “Before any seed is purchased farmers should make full inquiry for vitality, purity and adaptability for the location, To get reliable information on the adaptability of crop seeds is more difficult, requiring at times many years of field tests. It is for this reason farmers should keep in close touch with and rely almost wholly upon their State seed associa- tion and their State experiment station for information regarding new varie- ties.” Dr. T. K. Wolfe, editor of the South- ern Planter, spoke on “Business Meth- ods.” G. W. Patteson, agronomist, Ed- ucational Bureau, discussed the ex- hibits. 5 Corn-judging medals were presented by C. A.

B. BURRIS Capital Man Tells Conference at College Park Essentialities of Good Salesmanship. COLLEGE PARK, Md., January 26.— To get attention, to create interest, to promote action and to produce satisfac- tion are the principles of all salesman- ship, according to W. B.

Good salesmanship is essential in demonstrating the work of the extension service, to the people and farmers of the State, although Mr. Bur- ris explained, to be a good sales- man, one must be of the people with whom he deals, build himself into his community, be friendly, and he must prove that which he says. No matter what you are trying to sell never put yourself in the light of being a teacher, but rather try to be a helper and friend and always remember that the best listener is the best sales- man, Mr. Burris declared. ‘The later morning sessions were de- voted to discussion groups on marketing problems, efficient use of farm labor, better use and protection of farm ma- chinery and the improvement of farm equipment and buildings. ——— APPOINTED AT FAIRFAX.
