		This was the last that was seen of him till the driver of the "nine-thirty-seven down" express--the "boat-train," as the employees of the P.P.R. call it, with a touch of respect in their voices--passed Gavin fallen forward on his face just when he was flying down grade under a full head of steam.
		It was duskily clear, with a great lake of crimson light dying into purple over the hills of midsummer heather.
		The driver was John Platt, the Englishman from Crewe, who had been brought from the great London and Northwestern Railway, locally known as "The Ell-nen-doubleyou." In these remote railway circles the talk is as exclusively of matters of the four-foot way as in Crewe or Derby.

		But though plants will, of course, in time improve or decline to the climate and soil they live in, it is probable that many years would elapse before a decided change would occur one way or another.
		The only means I have of forming an opinion here is in the case of a field, the Lake field, twenty acres -- low-lying flat alluvial land -- which was partly sown with seed supplied by a local seedsman, and partly supplied by one of the most eminent seedsmen in England.
		In 1903 1 enclosed two plots of eighteen feet square in each seedsman's portion of the field, and, after letting the grass grow as if for a hay crop, had it cut and taken direct to the weighing machine.

		Bob, Not to rain on an otherwise good section of our society, but some in your profession "Journalists" have shown that they can not be trusted with information.
		If a "CSI" or the Chief of Police or someone chosen to represent him tells the press something and then asks that it not be let out yet, this should be the way it is, but there is always some ass who has to be the scoop and get the "news" out first.
		If the media industry as a whole in all methods, print, radio and tv clean house and get all of the trashy people out, then maybe the police will trust reporters again.
