cost OF hnuiihE furh frouuctSs
Frank Andrews of the United States
Agricultural Department, writes; IN
hauling products from farms in wagons
there are opportunities for saving
in cost. In many regions In the United
States the improvement Of a road, or
a short, rough section Of road, would
allow much larger loads to be hauled
than at present. If It were possible
TO increase the average weight of
wagon load Of cotton In the United
states from three bales, as it now is, to
four bales, without increasing the cost
Of hauling the load, the saving on the
crop equal TO the one picked in 1905
would amount to 100000; and If the
average load Of wheat now fifty-fve
bushels were increased by twenty
bushels. the saving increased in hauling
a crop like that Of 1905 would be more
than 100000"

There are countries which grow
pigs without corn, and feed the wastes
Of the dairy, With barley, oats, peas or
roots, and make lean hams and bacon,
which are most choice. This accounts
for the great favor with which the En-
Rlish hold Danish pork.

Mersrs. Stevenson and earrow Have
Withdrawn, Leaving Field to the
Popular Chairman OF York County
Democratic Committee.

After being practically assured that
nc VIII have no opposition in the
Democratic primary, Mr.. William T..
Goffigan, chairman of the Democratic
Committee OF York county, yesterday
notified tho Daily Press to announce
that he would be candidate for Leg
islature In his district. At this time
Mr.. Goffigan is the only candidate in
tho field and 1t is possible that he
Will be declared the party candidate
by the committee.
Messrs. H. u. Stevenson and j.
Tuner Garrow intended to enter the
race. but neither will be candidate
against Mr.. GoffIgan. This means
that Warwick will throw its strength
to Mr.. Goffigan and, with the strong
following he commands in the upper
end of the district, 1t Is regarded as
practically certain that the York
county man would be nominated
even should he be opposed.
Mr.. Goffigan at first declined to
run, principally because he thought
ne was too old to undertake the hard
ships of campaign. After being
shown that he was wanted by the
district and would have no campaign
to wear him out, he agreed to so in
! to the primary.
Tho legislative district Mr.. Goffi-
gan vii! represent Is composed of
Warwick, York, Charles City, James
City and New Kent counties, and the
city OF Williamsburg.
