the agricultural college of v. P. l., and
director of the Virginia agricultural ex-

who is leaving no stone unturned for the

Single fares for the round trip have
been secured from Roanoke, picnic lunch

visitors, and every thing will be opened

The college farm, Includes over thou
sand acres under cultivation. The expert
ment farm has fifty acres divided into
two thousand small plots, Oil which many
varieties of wheat, rye. oats, barley, root
crops and many kinds Y of lagumes are
undergoing tests
"a fInerc are rs many DIS LILY afdIlellcS
OF wheat alone. A record Is kept Of each
plot, and when the grain4!ti ripe, 4 is
carefully measured and the amount Of
yield entered in books kept for the pur-i
pose. j n this way it is asceEtaned what
varieties are best adapted TO Virginia
soil and. therefore. most profitable to the
farmer.
The grains that excel are tested a
second year, and If they still maintain
their high grade OF excellence. a third
year. This gives thorough test, under
different climatic conditions, and the
station is thus in position to intelli-,
gently advise the farmer concerning
them.
The, same tests are made with fertil-
| izers, careful records being kept of the
amount and kind Of fertilizers used, and
the resulting yield from each. Thus,
again, the farmer profits by the know
ledge gained by the experiment
Then there nre plots for shooting.
whereby a given variety Is improved
and raised to a higher grade,
To protect the farmers against unscru-
pulous seedmen, grains and seeds are
obtained from various dealers and tested
as before described. Single rows Of the
many varieties sold are grown and those
which turn out we'll are given a second
and third trial, at the end of which time.
If they have stood the three years test.
they are distributed to thefarmers.
The same methods ARD applied to he
root crops and lagumes. and In addition,

arc making extensive Investigations in
their respective fields. There are fifty
acres In orchards, vineyards and gardens,
with $50 varieties of fruit trees, one hun
dred varieties Of grapes and many
varieties of bush fruits and vegetables
which are also undergoing scientific tests
The college has five large banks, all
we'll equipped ana Immediately kept.
Everything Is done systemat lcally and
on a scientific basis
II The bapns, as we'll as the grain plots
have a system Of bookkeeping as exact
as any bank. At the barn. feeding ex-
periments are under way, with sixty
head Of beef cattle, sixty hogs and thirty
dairy cows.
Each animal has his individual feed
tub stalls and neat zinc tubs bearing cor
responding mum bers. Each animals food
is weighed and records are kept of tho
various kinds of grains that make up
the meal, and the exact proportion OF
each. The amount of milk and butter
produced, and the weight gained under
the various food testS Is accurately re-
corded Thus 1t is ascerthined which
foods or combinations OF foods produce
the best results for the least money.
In this connection. Professor Soule
stated to your correspondent that the
farmers Of Virginia seemed to be preju-
diced against silage food, but that re-
peated tests had proven it superior to
hay and the more expensive foods as q
flesh producer. ~
This Is merely an outline Of the ex-
pertinent station and its work, but will
serve to give some idea OF what Is being
accomplished and the end to which these
labors are being directed.
Such intelligent researchis bound to be
productive of good results. Agriculture
will be advanced and every individual
farmer who pu., himself In touch with
the movement Will be the gainer.
One OF the practical advantages to the
farmer contemplated is d ten weeks
course In agriculture free to any farmer
who may choose to come and take It..
These courses will be held in the winter.
when the farmer has spare time on his
hands, and there will be no charge except
for board. This small sum will come back
to him a hundred fold, however, in the
money saved by the practical knowledge
gained from the course.
Professor Soule's heart Is iii the work.
FIe has been offered large Inducements
to go to California. He has been In
Virginia only a year. But money Is not
his chief object. He Is thoroughly I'M err
tural resources Of the State and is giving
himself body and soul to the work OF
strengt henlngf the agricultural department
of the nstitut e. IL
He hopes to see Virginia Polytechnic
Institute the greatest college In the
South, and is throwing all his enthusl-
nsm, energy. ambition and ability into
the work of advancing his department.
The great need Is more money, and 1t
is ohe hoped that the Legislature will
respond to the call OF the college.
Virginia is an agricultural State, and
her prosperity demands progress In all
matters relating to agriculture.

ABOUT RAILROAD RATfS
Secretary Morton Has Something to
 Say in Outlook.

Washington, Jan. Paul Morton, secretary Of the navy Ond formerly vice president of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad company is the author Of an article on the railway rate question which will be published in the Outlook tomorrow. He in the oUset expressly disclaims writing as a representative of President Roose- Velt's administration, and says he speaks merely as one with somewhat extensive experience pertinent to an important subject. The secretary in the article says there are very few complaints against railroad rates per SC in the United States, the chief trou- 5le being with the relation of rates as between markets" He says there are as many rates that are too low as there are rates which a court would decide to be too high; that either class of rates may be equally disastrous to the communities. He expresses an opin ion that federal supervision of rail- roads is necessary but adds that regu- lation and protection should go Q to- gether. In the opinion of MT. Morton government ownership of railroads would be the beginning of an industrial and political chaos.

INDEPENDENT OPPOSITION.

New Raven. Jan. 12.-In reply to in qUiries as to what the independents consider the senatorial outlook to be, and what they are doing, pr. Smyth gave out this statement today:
 Personally make no predictions; but rom letters which I am receiving daily from all parts of the state, as
 well as from information furnished by gentlemen who have had opportunity to talk with q great many members of the legislature, I am warranted in saying now. this much: Since the re cord particularly of ex-Covernor Bulk eIey has been called to the attention of the public through the news columns of the press. the demand for e third candidate has been rising all over the state.
 Without giving figures which may not prove trustworthy, it may be said with confidence that there are now un- decided and independent votes enough to hold a balance of power, and, as they must be cast one way or the other to determine the election some members will undoubtedly vote for Congressman I1iu. Others wish for an opportunity to vote for Ex-Governor Mclean. Others may be scattered among the candidates whose names have been favorably mentioned in tho papers.

that upon the facts as they are before Us, the case is one in which the opera ton of the injunction should be stayed until the appeal can be heard in this court. We are the more readily led to this conclusion because. if the in junction IS thus suspended the exist ing railroad can be operated, the Phoe- nix & Eastern vii suffer no loss and the Arizona Eastern if still successful on appeal will be indemnified for any loss or damage, by the bond to be given for that purpose.
 Whereas, if the relief be not grant ed. though the Arizona Eastern will be put in possession of the property it can make no present use of it, the pub lie to whatever extent it uses the road will be inconvenienced since the Ari- Zona Eastern is not prepared tC oper- ate it and the Phoenix & Eastern if it should ultimately be successful in the case can recover nothing for its loss and damage since no such in identifying bond can be required for it.

So far Gs concerns the efforts of the gentlemen with whom I am co-wOrking, some Of whom are earnest young re- publicans, this may be said: Now that the public is waking up, they are receiving from all quarters expressions of sympathy and support, and, if they had a weeks longer time, they could bring to the caucus from every town in the state such a petition as was never laid before at the door of a eau GUS asking that a senator may be chosen whose record and character is such that all classes of citizens, ire spective of party, may be able to look upon him with just pride as their rep resentative in the senate.
