PETERSBURG, VA. april 29-(spe-
cial)-InformatiOn has been received here

Michigan Of resolution authorizing the

house for safe-keeping. The Michigan
regiment was the first Of the Federal
troops to enter the city, and it raised the
United States flag over the courthouse.
The Grays flag was sent to Michigan as
a trophy. Enclosed in a glass case, it
has ever since remained in the Military
Museum at Lansing. a few weeks ago
Mir. George ". Stone, an officer Of the
Michigan regiment wrote TO Mayor Plea

Grays, and stating that If they desired 10

his friends would at once take steps TO
have the Legislature return it. His pa
triotlc offer was thankfully accepted. and
the intelligence received to-day shows
that he has kept his word :
II is understood that the flag will be
brought TO Petersburg by a committee,
headed by Mr.. Some and a delegation Of
the old First Michigan Regiment They
will receive a friendly and cordial well

NOTHING BUT VINES.
4 PittsyIyania Farmer Tells HIS
Troubles TO Commissioner koiner.

Among the letters received al the De-
partment OF Agriculture yesterday was
one from a farmer in Pittsylvania who
had bought a large quantity of tankage
and last year used some OF this fertilizer
on a field Of tomatoes with the result that
he had some very nice, tall vines, but no
tomatoes, or rather none that were mt
for the market. The farmer did not wish
TO try the experiment again, and asked
the Commissioner for advice on the sub
ject Mr.. Koiner wrote him that If he
would send TO the department samr e
of the tankage, he would have II ana
lived and then let him know what other
fertilizer ingredients 10 mix with 1t in
order 10 produce a yield OF tomatoes as
well as vines.
This letter is fair sample Of many
received by the Commissioner, and ne is
frequently furnishing a fertilizer formula
10 some farmer or trucker, who wishes
TO use the same in growing a particular
crop Mr.. Koiner is always glad 70 fur
nish such information, and these inqui-
ries and requests receive his immediate
attention. II is his desire to make MS
department one Of practical use to the
farmers Of Virginia.
