To Protect Farmers.

This season the fertilizer inspectors
have found an unusually large number Of
violations of the law which is intended
to protect the farmer from being imposed
upon by those from whom he purchases
his goods All of the ten inspectors are
upon the road. and In SIX or seven coun-
ties fertilizers have been seized because
the bags were without the necessary
license tags or because they were im-
properly branded, or not branded at ALL
OF course. In the latter case the farmer
did not know what he was getting. In
every case the fertilizer has been held
until the requirements OF the law were
complied with. and in several instances
the matter was placed Ia the hands OF
the Commonwealth Attorney Of the
county for prosecution The farmers are
looking to Commissioner Koiner to see
that they get the fun value OF their
money paid for fertiliser purchased by
them. and the Commissioner is deter
mined that they shall get the full bene-
at OF the law which was enacted for
their protection.

Option HELD on

Virginia Passenger and Power
Company May Not Absorb
Connecting Road.

The option the Virginia Passenger and
Power Company holds on the lines of the
Richmond and Petersburg Electric Rail
way Company will expire October 18th,
and at that time, II not before, it will
be determined whether the property goes
into the hands of the company which
has already absorbed the street railway
lines OF Richmond and Petersburg, or
whether it will remain In the hands of
the present owners and builders. The
amount Of the option is not known,
but by those in a position to know. 1t
is said the company holds the road at a
good price. It is to be decided one way
or the other by the middle Of the month,
said a gentleman identified with the SUI
burban line last night. There is an i'm
preston, he said. among many that the
road will not be taken in by the Virginia
Passenger and Power Company, but that
. it will remain the property Of the present
owners. The line between Richmond and
Petersburg has proven a paying invest
ment as shown by the receipts Of the
road. for the first few months Of its
operation.
The Virginia Passenger and Power Com
pany. it is understood, has held the OPP
