Sowing and Reaping.

On Sunday last Rev. w. NJ. Clark
preached a practical and impressive SER
mon at ST. James Church on the para
BILE OF the sower. in which he empha-
sized the fact that no matter how good
tho seed might be the harvest depended
on the quality of the soil in which the
seed was planted.
III the parable some seeds fell blythe
wayside, and the fowls came and gath
cred them up; some fell upon stony
places, where they had not much earth,
and forthwith they sprung UP, but be-
cause they had no depth Of root, when the
sun was up It scorcfed the plant and 1t
withered away; some fell among thorns
| which choked them; but others fell into
good ground and brought forth an
abundant harvest.
| This parable, which is to be found in
| Matthew Kill, should be carefully studied
by every farmer In Virginia who com.
plains OF poor crops. TIe may get the
| choicest aud best seeds from tho Depart
| ment OF Agriculture, but unless he plants
in good soil he cannot count on reap
ing Il rich harvest. He must make his
lands rich; he must plough deep in orde,
that the plant may sink Its root far dow
into the earth. and he must be sur,
that weeds and grass do not choke tn,
giants.
Mr.. II. o. Sandy the Nottoway fnrme
who has had great success, says that
these rules be observed the Virginia far

County Treasurers.

The removal OF Treasurer Hechler for
nalfcasance in office directs attention
nrain. and very forcibly, to the manage |
n,ent Of the treasurer's office in Henrlco
county. When eN-Treasurer Brauer tailed
Of reelection his accounts We're found 10
be In very muddled condition. and al
though no allegation Of Intentional wrong
doing was made. it was not denied that
Mr.. l3raucr had to make good the DIS
crepancy which was found by the expert
accountants. When eN-Treasurer W. ].
Todd died a much more serious state OF
affairs was found TO exist, and his bonds
men were called upon to make up the
deficit.
With these examples fresh in his mind,
and with Judge SCOTS warning to guide
and restrain him, Mr.. Hechler was ap-
pointed on March 10. 1905. to I'LL the UNI
expired term of tho late w. j. Todd. ana
get, when tho first investigation OF the
treasurer S books was made in October
1906 only eight months later. Mr.. Hechler,
too, was found tc be short in his ac-
counts. Throughout the trial no attack
was mad, on the honest intentions Of Mr..
Hechler. and The Times-D Dispatch does
not impute deliberate dishonesty to any
Of the derclict treasurers but the fact OF
such constant and successive shortages is
too glariI1g to be overlooked and the I'M
c,tyrlyin. cause should be determined and
removed as speedily as possible.
in reaching this determination itshould
be remembered that in Virginia there is
no general statute requiring county
trcasurers to deposit State or county
funds TO a special account. AS result,
the trcasurcrs, in many, il not the great
majority of instances. keep the moneys
