IOUDOUN POLITICS.


The good people of Loudoun, like
these of her sister counties, are much
interested touching the spring elections
and do not consider it too early to
speak of who shall be sent to the Leg
islature next fall. Available timber
seems quite plentiful and the loyal
sons are ready to serve the dear old
county. For the House those most
prominently mentioned are Dulany
Bruin, the popular chairman OF the
Democratic county executive commit
tee, II. M. Smith and &. B. Shreeves
and no doubt the Hon. J. L. Ryan,
who. though seeking the congressional
nomination, would not OBJECT to the
sneakers chair. The primary on next
Saturday will select the various district
and ounty officers to be voted for in
Nav. The most interest seems maRi-
fested in the triangular contest for the
circuit clerkship-W. N. Wise, Mason
Throkmorton and Paul w. Garrett
each gentleman is popular and quail
fed. For county clerk we have two
candidates; the present incumbent,
", D. Hempstone, and William Gaines,
both exceedingly popular. For treas
urer and sheriff, James w. VandeVan-
ter and Henry Russell have a clear
field. There are many aspirants and
the result of the primary is watched
with much anxiety. On "Wednesday
next the voters of Leesburg will de-
teruine as to liquor license; the town
has gone dry twice. The drys are
making an active fight, but many
realize that the voters have many for
chile arguments in the field, hence
there is question as to the result.

WOODLAWN FARMERS CLUB.
The March meeting of the Wood
lawn Farmers Club convened at Wal.
nut Bil, the residence of Mrs. Auua
Waiton, and was called to order about
p. 10. by President E E. Mason.
Because of the coD3i:icn of roads and
weather there was no meeting held 10
February.
Apropos OF the mention in the min
utes OF the January meeting of the use
of crude petroleum to improve roads,
J. w. Roberts said that in a letter re.

dition. Mr.. Harrison said that Gen.
Roy Stone told him that 10 California
during the dry season the stone roads
cut up into luts and holes and on some
OF their roads they practice regular
system of watering.
The secretary read a communication
from the Department OF Agriculture
sskipg for statistics concerning co Op
Grafton and suggested replies that were
spprcved.
An essay, "a Plea for the Pocket
cook by Mrs. NJ NJ. Lynch,
OF Frederick county, Virginia, which
was read before the recent Farm
Farmers Institute, 10 Winchester, was
read before the club and aroused quite
an animated discussion.
Tue club then listeued 10 the reading
Of an article from the Country Gentle.
nan, "D1os Farming Pay" that seemed
10 prove couolusively that he who goes
iqto general farming Is likely to come
out short. The article brought out
general discussion on fertilizing for
corn and bird and insect enemies.
Mr. Monroe said ne had mixed acid
phosphate and KANT, equal parts, and
applied in the corn bill. at about the
rate OF 200 pounds per acre, with good
results.
Mr.. Harrison has had good results
with ashes used in the corn bill and
| fuds that corn wet with colevile
before planting is not disturbed by the
crows.
Mr.. Mason waits until his early
neighbors are through planting before
ne begins aud whils the crows are busy
pulling his early neighbors' corn his is
growing.
Some thought the crow a friend o!
the farmer and that the corn pulling Is
ouly an effort to find the worm.
The club then adjourned to meet
