THE WOODLAND FARMERS, CLUB.
Discussion about Oass-A meeting
Held i'm an Historic spot.

The March meeting of the Woodlawn Farmers
Club was held at the residence OF Lewis Gilling-
ham on tn oath instant. President Person an
nouneed that proposition to investigate the
milk trade in Washington had been introduced in
Congress John BalllEger, from the committee on
cereals, then read an essay. oats, the essay said
flourish best in cool, moist climate; hence 1t FOL
lows that the Virginia soil is not adapted to the
successful growing OF that crop, IL is frequently
hot and dry q, the season when the oats should be

seem 10 be more sure when they are put In as
eaSS as the land can De gotten In suitable condi-
tiOn IN the spring, which i generally not before
the 2utn OF March, ami frequently later. Oats,
Ike most other cereals, seem TO flourish best on a
JoleraDiy 1rm seed-Ded with but few inches OF
the top soil thoroughly pglverzed. It is there
fore, "a question whether it would not ba a good
plan to pillow the land late IN the fall and let IL

the oats IN win drill, applying some fertilizer at
the same time where needed IL has been the
custom with sOme heretofore TO seed most or

tice seems 10 be getting unpopular, and they
are having their CORTLAND for oats Whether
th3t i a Wise conclusion the committee was un-
able to decide. someone asked about the pro-
priety OF sowing grass seed with oats when it was
generally conceded that II depended Together on
the season following for success, but upon the
whole II was about as Sure Tor eaten as sowing
Win wheat II the same amount OF manure and
care Ia preparing the ground was used. IL was
thought that winter oats would do well mere II put

Women and the Ba,,o,.Rox.

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
One OF the foremost reasons brought forward nv
the leaders OF the woman's suffrage movement as
10 why woman should have a direct share In the
affairs OF Government Is, that under her influence
and power the horrors and crimes OF war would be
done away with. Do others, with this as their be-
lief, endorse the statement OF Mrs. stanton that
the time is not far distant when, IL men do not do
justice 10 women, women will strike hands with
labor, with socialists, and with anarchists and the
scenes OF the revolution OF France Will be repeated
In this country? Think OF such an alancei Wo-
men and anarchists. What woman 10 all our la nd
would not feel insulted 10 have such a
UNION proposed TO her? What woman would
not shudder at the thought OF overthrOwing her
country's Government TO remove this wrong-that
she has no part therein? This is asked By one who
does not largely oppose and condemn, except In
Inconsistencies: by one who has unpounded adj
Inirati0n for Miss Willard and Clara Barton: who
has great respect foT the host OF women who have
achieved lasting results in educational causes and
the removal OF unjust laws: who is eager Tor
women 10 take lofty places everywhere In wisdom
and In power, but who Is not yet persuaded thai
the baliot-bOx should be their highest goal or that
the attainment OF IL would bring unInixed good TO
them and their country
