No Political Pressure.

Odell was the first witness of the
day. He said no political pressure was
brought to bear in the settlement Of
his suit against the Mercantile Trust
company, and that it was settled the
same as suits brought by others. He
said he had been advised by counsel
that his claim was just one, and that
any court would have awarded him
more than he received in the settle
ment. He knew of the introduction of
the Amber bill, which it is said might
have affected the Mercantile Trust
company's charter, and while he did
not suggest it's introduction he saw no
objection to it,

THE FARMER AND THE AGRl-
CULTURAL DEPARTMENT.

In an editorial published in this
paper on the Sth ofApril last entitled
The Farmers and the Agricultural
Department, We called attention
TO the fact that comparatively few
Virginia farmers awaited themselves
of the advantages OF thepublications
of the t. 5. Agricultural Depart
ment. which We have been advised
were distributed free to any farmer
in the United States making appli-
cation for same Acting upon our
suggestion. Capt. e. AllenswOrth, OF
Golansville. addressed a commune
cation to the secretary Ofagriculture
requesting a copy OF the year book
for 1903, and in reply was informed
that the 100000 copies published
wese distributed as follows: 4IO,OOO
to the Senators and Representatives
in Congress and 10000 to the De-
partment of Agriculture, the distri-
button of which was controlled by
the secretary of agriculture, but that
a number of copies are held by the
superintendent of documents for sale
at % cents per copy. 1t has been
our understanding that all pub
lications of the Agricultural Depart
ment are distributed free upon
application of any farmer as long as
any edition of the work lasted, but
the fact that this is not entirely a
correct statement in view OF the re-
DIV received by Mr.. AllenswOrth,
leads us to suggest that whenever
the Virginia farmers desire copies OF
any of the Agricultural Department $
publications. that they communicate
with either Senator Daniel or Sena-
tor Martin, or the Representative in
Congress from their district, and the
publication they desire will be forth
coming, without cost to the appli-
cant, provided they put in their APP
plication before the copies supplied
such Senator's and Representatives
areexhausted. We advise Mr.. Aliens
worth not to weary in well doing,
and if he has failed to get what he
wanted by one method, to try an
other.

Prospects for sheep Exports.

Exporters have been practically ont

The reason is obvious. Demand on
