ADVICE ON FERrILIzERs.

ADVICE ON FERTILIzERs.
p Many farmers buy fertilisersindis-
criminatsly. without regard to their
needs. They should flrst Determine
what is required, and to use only
those kinds that each crop should
have. as any excess of that not desired
by crop entaiis an unnecessary ex-
pense. z 90 'esfL1zf nGa
In selecting fertilizers that are
sold for the value of the nitrogen,
potash and phosphoric acid contained
the farmer should not be guided so
much by the percentage of the sub
stances included in the fertilizers as
by the demands of his soil. No two
fields on the farm can be treated
alike, and it is the Judgment of the
farmer that cheapens or increases
the cost of the fertilizer, as he should
consider what the land has produced
and also the kind of crop he proposes
to grow the coming season. on.-Ameri-

THE VIVA vOCE PRIMARY.
Speaking Of the viva -voce primary

OPeakiuH OF tue viva vOCe primary
system the Accomack Nescs says:
"The Martin men charge the Mon
tague side with being responsible for
it's origin and for its adoption BY the
State COMMITTEE, and the Montague
aide comes back at them and SAYS
that it is not true and that the
Martin men tackled it on to the pri-
mary plan devised by the Montague
forces after the Norfolk Con vention,
for the purpose Of making that plan
unpopular, and for bringing the pri-
mary into such general disfavor with
the people that they would do away
with it, and 60 back to the old and
unsavory methods Of Court House or
cross-road conventions. And that
they. the Montague people have made
repeated efforts to repeal it in COM
mittee since its adoption, and have
been thwarted in their efforts every
time by the Martin men ON the COM
mittee. We don't know enough
about the probable truth of this mat
ter to express our opinion as to which
side may be right. We will say,
however, that it is generally under
stood that the State primary idea was
pat in motion by the Norfolk Con.
vention,, . body that was dominated
by Mr.. Montagues' friends. The
working details Of the plan were left
TO- the State Committee to arrange
and to be put lin force by it. We
have understood that majority OF
that committee were friends of Mr.
Montague. this being true, We can.
not see how they can escape the re-
sponsibility of the viva voce feature
promulgated by that committee as q
party law to govern voting in the
primaries"
