agency sale last Thursday, be will
change the production of the land from
wheat to timothy. Mountain land pro-

than to wheat. Mountain farmers
can safely count on ton and a half
per acre, and when baled there Is a
strong demand for the hay at a price
which is said TO be more profitable
than a wheat crop produced from like
soil.
There is not the labor nor expense

in harvesting wheat CROP.
After the hay is cut and put in the
stack it is pressed into bales for 81. so
per ton. The crop comes on at the
dryest season of the year, when chanc-
es of damage from rain ale slight, and
when labor is easily secured.

Under the leadership of Speaker
Davey, of the house, flock of thirty

provision that the first board of com

governor. who should also have power
of removal. Lumbermen, millmen
hopgrowers, farmers and commercial,
bodies all over the state have in dorseG
unqualifiedly this provision.

have bitterly opposed appointment by
the governor. They have urged that
the commissioners be appointed by the
state board. and all possible infuen &C

this change in the bill. One railroad
attorney wrote personal notes to some
of the members just before the vote
was taken urging them to support this
amendment.

advices received from the scene of the
disaster at the Stuart company's mines
at Stuart, Fayette county, is that the
number Of victims will be about six
ty. The list Of those known positive
" to have been in the mine at the time
of the explosion includes thirty-eight
white miners and ten colored miners.
Besides these there was a number Of
foreigners whose names are not
known.
The efforts of the rescuers are direct
ed at placing brattices in the shaft and
clearing the debris from the entries.
This is slow work, but considering the
difficulties to be overcome good prog

party hopes soon to be able to reach
that part of the mine where the men
are supposed to be. There Is very
little hope expressed that any of the
entOmbed miners will be found alive.
