1t is actually good for sore eyes Il
look at that splendid crop of hay which
has been harvested and housed by Mr.
VIII Bailey. 1t il as "sweet as nut, .
and almost good enough for folks tc
eat.
There are 1000 hills Of watermelons
on the farm of veteran l.. G.. Amos this
season, green and fiourishng, but
Generals Ewell and Ashby are in COM
mand and that means there are none
too many.
During the of season il our mer-
chants would advertise bargains they
would clear up for another season.
The HERALD rates are reasonable, and
IL must be the best medium known TO
this section. Would be glad to quote
prices.
III Is refreshing to notice the loads of
line hay and oats now being brought
into town from our farms. Our farmers
ought to break up the baled hay trade.
Not to hurt merchants but to help this
section of Virginia.
Dr. Harding preached a noble SER
mon at the Baptist Church last Sunday
night, before large and appreciative
audience. 1t was the third in the sum-
mer series of union services. The next
meeting will be at the Presbyterian
church, and Rev. Mr. Hunter will
preach.
Col. Walkers factory, built OH the
old Bruce site is beginning to assume
grand proportions Foundations for
another are being laid on the lot West |
of the Planters Warehouse. This, too,
will be built by Col. Walker, and there
is talk Of third one, on the rear of the
old hotel lot. Farmvile may one day
be known as Factory town.
Mr.. w. w. Jackson was rather
demoralized when we met him soon
after the hail had done its damage, but
the next morning he had frightened
up and rather thought he would make
a full crop after all-not of tobacco but
of all crops combined, and the tobacco
is coming too.
1t will be a shame II the approaches
to our Appomattox bridge are allowed
to remain unimproved until the
tobacco season opens again We un-
derstand that Cumberland is ready to
act when Farmville is ready to do its
part. Surely Farmville has more in
terest in this matter than Cumberland
has.

III. Thompson, who has been on a brief {
visit TO our town, left for his home at

A Card From the ..OId Rebs.v

Editor Herald:-Ever since the deatf
If our old friend and comrade, o. f
Fast. who died in the poor house Of
this county and now lies buried in the
grounds Of that institution, it has been
orr intention to make application To
the Town Council to grant US plot OF
section in the Farmville Cemetery, in
which to bury the dead of that heroic
band Of boys in gray, known as the old
Farmville Guard, and who have no
buryiDg ground Of their own in which
they prefer to be laid at last to rest.
To that end an application was made
through COmrade Miller to the Council
at their last meeting, and be it said to
their honor, there was not one dissent
ing voice. The lot has been selected
and deed recorded. Ii is our intention
10 have the remains Of our dead COM
rsde removed from the poor house
grounds and reinterred in this section
Of our beautiful cemetery.
Mr.. Editor the main object of this
writing is to show our appreciation of,
and to thank all who have aided us IN
this undertaking. lst, TO the Mayor
and Council for gift of lot 2nd, to
Messrs. Watkins a. Watkins for writing
Ofdeed. 3rd, to Mr.. f. J. Whitehead
for recording deed, and 4th. to Mr.. J.
+. Garland for taking acknowledgment
Of same. All Of which was done freely
aud without charge to US.
This was about all we intended
writing when we began, but when we
get on the subject of old Rebs it is hard
to stop talking or writing, and as you
have requested statement as to the
standing of the monument fund, will
say, when note fell due we paid
a curtail Of ten dollars and five cents,
all the money we had in hand. The
note now stands thirty-three dollars
and thirty cents. This amount our
noble and true friends, the Daughters
Of Confederacy, say, will be paid in
full at its maturity.
We also wish to inform our friends
that with the aid Of our good friend
and old cOmrade, A. w. Drumeller, we
have selected the style and given our
order for the iron fence to inclOse the
monument, at the cost of $3.50. OF this
amount COmrade Drumeller has Sc
cured about One-half. We now have
TO raise the sum Of $50 to pay this
amount in full when the fence is erect
ed. AT some time In the near future
We will call in person on our many
friends to assist us in this matter. In
the mean time any who may wish to
subscribe to this fund can do 80 by CIV
ing the amount to Drumeller, Miller or

contribution it will be thankfully re-
ceived and proper credit given.

BANKER CLEw,s VIEWS.
The Financial Outlook as Seen From
Wall street.

W0Il street.
New York, June 22-The stock market
has been under the influence of apprehen-
sions of a poor bank statement and clos
err money. Such fears induced more or
less realization of profits and encouraged
traders 10 manipulate for lower prices.
Bank reserves are very low and might
easily reach the exhaustion point In case
of too large an expansion of loans. Gold
exports also caused some concern, and as
preparations for July settlements and dis
bursements are In order, caution in regard
| to the money market until the end of the
month is simply necessary prudence. At
ter that date there may be less reason
for anxiety and comparatively easy rates
can be anticipated until the crop move
ment asserts itself, a period six or eight
weeks distant.
AS soon as the present efforts for de-
preston of values are over, the market
may be expected to enjoy a reasonable
recovery in the event of easy money.
While this is not the season to expect
activity under ordinary conditions, still
the situation is such as to require close
watching, for sharp fluctuations in the
leading stocks may occur when least ex
pected. Values are still chiefly under con-
troll of the community of interest" idea
which is yet in process of evolution.
For an indefinite period, therefore, the
market is likely TO be influenced by these
negotiations, rising and falling according
to the prospects of SUCCESS and failure.
AS these gentlemen are not likely to
show their hand, except at their own con-
venience, all reports of their doings and
conclusions will have to be accepted with
a certain degree of reservation. Ordinary
influences affecting the market are of a
favorable nature
The Savannah morning news., 1901-06-24

Alfalfa grows well on varying kinds of
soil, provided the subsoil is open and por-
Gus. The most favorable is a rich some
what sandy loan, warm and friabIe. with
deep and loose or gravelly subsoil well
supplied with lime, says f. B. Voorhees,.
A dense clay or hardpan subsoi is most
unfavorable. Although a rich soil is pref
cradle, alfalfa sometimes does well on
poor, well-drained gravelly land The
soil should receive careful and thorough
preparation, which is very important, in
order to secure full stand
1t is especially desirable that the soil
be supplied with an abundance of lime
The plant is a heavy feeder and will not
thrive on soils deficient in plant food
The fertilizers applied should contain
mainly potash and phosphoric acid. These
should be spread broadcast and narrowed
in thoroughly. The following applications
per acre are recommended
First year before seeding IS bushels
stone lime. 40 pounds acid phosphate, 100
pounds muriate OF potash and Is pounds
nitrate OF soda per acre; after seeding, 10
tons manure.
The lime may be applied the fall pre-
vious to seeding, and well narrowed into
the soil. The fertilizers should be applied
Just previous to seeding and well worked
into the surface soil. The manure should
be applied late In the fall after cutting
has ceased. The second ana succeeding
years apply 10 tons manure, 100 pounds
acid phosphate and 100 pounds muria To
OF potash per acre.
In order to secure n good stand II is
best to SOW 30 to IS pounds per acre, pref
erably broadcast the last of April or the
first OF May. without any protective crop.
It should be covered with a very light
harrow or a weeder and lightly rolled. De-
struction OF weeds in the early growth Is
very important, besides frequent cutting
is helpful IN establishing the young
plants.
In this state the first cut OF alfalfa will
will be ready from May IS to 25 and should
be cut just before II blossoms. At the
college farm the third season after seed
ing five cuts were obtained with total
yield OF green forage Of B.6 tons per
acre. which Is probably larger than the
average. In good growing seasons, the
crop will reach the cutting stage in from
four or Ave weeks. This crop Is not only
one Of the most useful for soiling but
makes excellent hay. The dry matter is
very rich IN protein, having a nutritiye
ratio OF / 10 40.
As green forage or hay n serves an
excellent purpose on a dairy farm sluce
It's use will materially reduce the need
for purchased feeds. Feeding experiments
Ia progress with alfalfa hay shows that
IL may be- successfully substituted Ia a
ration Tor such uitroscnous feeds as

" hcut depressed.
There was a marked falling off in the
volume of sales of stocks, and the range
OF price fluctuations was consequently
narrower This was the case with near
ly all the big railroads and the more
Important industrials. In most cases clos
Ing quotations are somewhat lower than
those of the week before but as a rule
the declines are unimportant
Some of the recently prominent special
ties, however. gyrated in more or less
sensational manner. Colorado Fuel sold
at 1864 on Monday and at 1OS on Thurs
day, closing at lib, decline for the week

2F on Wednesday to 265 on Friday. clos
ing at 260, a gain of II points. Tennessee
Coal sold up to 1873 closing at 7O1a. Cot
ton Oil advanced about points to 351h.
but fell back later.
The bank statement on Saturday was
unfavorable, showing a loss OF 81, 40 900
in the surplus, the loss of cash reaching
g. ,000 With the exception of a few
particular stocks, mostly specialties, the
market looks tired and heavy. Intending
investors are cautioned against reckless
and indiscriminate buying at this juno
ture.
A decidedly healthier tone prevailed in
the cotton market as forecasted here a
week ago. The most encouraging news
was the very much better character of
the reports from the dry goods trade,
where it begins to look as if the worst
period of depression is past. The strength
became more pronounced toward the end
of the week, and the close was well up
to the top, with a firm undertone Prices
are generally about % points higher for
both old and new crop months July, S,42c,
August, 1850 and January, isle.
In the main crop reports We're better,
the weather In the eastern section having
improved with favorable development
elsewhere. There is, however, increasing
suggestion of a prospective drought in the
Southwest. 1t looks like higher prices
in the immediate future with a probab bill
ity of more activity in July delivery.
Wheat turned very weak letterly, and
July sold down to 66c, closing 664c, a
loss of nearly 4c. Some weeks ago it was
predicted here that July wheat would
most likely go to about CSC, which pre-
diction has been virtually realized. 1t
now appears advisable to commence buy
ing at present figures, or a cent or two
lower. Sixty-five cents is low enough, for
Europe willA~be shorter than usual, and
will, therefore, have to import more
largely. AS likely or not, wheat will be
back to about soc by next autumn.

Cotton Letter.

New York, June 23-The two most i'm
portant features in the cotton market
during the past week have been, first,
the continued poor crop accounts from
the South, and, second, the continued i'm
provement in the dry goods trade 1t is
authoritatively stated that within the
past ten days over 100000 pieces Of print
cloths have been sold in Fall River, and
that in other departments of cotton man
ufacturing the supply of goods in first
hands is being rapidly depleted. 1 have
just returned from an extended Western
and Southwestern trip. The assurance
of en- enormous American wheat crop is
giving. great impetus to the dry goods
trade, and merchants everywhere are pre-
pairing for an active fall trade as against
this. The reports from the South of con-
tinued high temperature and dry weather
in Texas. and continued rains in the At
iaIit:c states, seem to Indicate that the
damage to the crop is rapidly becoming
almost irreparable. Supplies are dimin-
ishing rapidly and all conditions seem to
point to a further advance in prices.
