That. Winter Barley.

ED. INDEX: In last weeks issue of
the INDEX you requested me to explain
the why and the wherefore of that patch
of winter barley, which L will now at
tempt to do in my plain way.
Last fall, through the kindness of j :.
z. Hall and C.S. Jobes, as favor, sold
me ten bushels out of that one hundred
bushels of celebrated barley that a
friend in Kansas City sold them at a
low price.
We sowed the ten bushels, and it
grew fine in the fall, but when old
winter came, it folded itself up, and
went into that sleep there is no waking,
for it was about one peck of winter
barley to five bushels of spring barley.
AS we listed this field in kaffer corn
this spring. there was a little patch, as
you call it, of fine winter barley that
weathered it through. We listed
around it and left it to grow on the sun
ny slopes of the Medicine river, and it
blossomed like a rose. Although it is
scarcely longer than the palm of your
hand, last Tuesday, in the small hours
of the night, those moonshiners on the
west side. built a two barbed-wIre fence
around 1t. With their big feet, they
killed outright, fourteen spears and
crippled eight more, when those boys
knew that barley laid closer to my heart
than anything else, or would when ripe,
and shipped to Milwaukee and back.
| ask you, Mr.. Editor, what encour-
agement is there In experimenting, and
accuse Uncle Sam when he had nothing
to do with 1t. But Notwithstanding, if
Mr. Hall. and Mr.. Jobes do not put up
the cigars, will.
1t has been pretty dry out here, and
us boys lave to have our fun to keep
the blues off. ELI BENEDICT.
We acknowledge the receipt of the
cigars from Mr.. Benedict.

TO OUR SISTER:
Her light now shines above
In circles pure with angels love,
And left our hearts most dark and lone,
Because that light has flown.
We cannot check the rising Sigh,
Or stop the tears that dim the eyes;
But In our grief tbs sweet to us
To clasp the hand of sympathy.
While others too. have lost their light
That kept their homes and hearthstone bright
We feel their pain, we know their giief
And fain would bring their soul relief.
We raise our eyes TO skies above,
The gentle light of Heavens love
Shines through these tears of dark dispsir
And tells there is no sorrow there.
No sorrow where bright spirits dwell.
Where our sister we loved so well
Hath gone to rest In angels care
Who guide and guard her spirit there
There is hope. there Is JOY,
To think we'll meet our darling one
Upon purer. higher plain,
And clasp her to our arms again. -

Governor Mckinney in his annual
message to the Virginia Legislature
deals largely with the oyster question,
a matter of great interest also to our
State. The Governor is Of the opinion
that the oyster grounds belong to the
whole people, and that they should get
tleir belongings. He insists also that
revenue whirh the State collects from
those who take oysters is not tax. but
rent The grounds are rented at the
lower price of one dollar per acre. and
no man is compelled to rent them ::
those who rent the"e do so Of their own
will and are in no sense taxpayers, but
tenants. The State should give protec-
tion from maraulers to those who pay
rent, but it would be misuse of the
powers of the State to tax every kind
of prsper'y in the State and yet fail to
Utilise. sach I vast area of valuable prop
erty as her oyster grounds. and in ad-
ditinA shereso pay large sum each year
TO protect those who prey upon the
State resources without paying revenue
The Legislature must, 10 justice to the
psople, use all available property and
resources Of the State before 1t takes by
taxation any resources of private citizens
The Governor is amazed tha' the people
of the State are so Indifferent to this
important question.

and if any were encountered below
the dyke they would be more contin-
