gone deeper into the habit of
growth of the wheat plant and its re-
lation to the soil on which it may be
grown. 1t has been found that in
the semi-arid regions of the state
new wheats which will be adapted to
these rigorous conditions must be de-
veloped before profitable wheat grow
ing can be firmly established. At the
present time no single variety can be
absolutely depended upon under all
conditions.
While there Is no doubt that
through the rigid selection which has
accompanied this work many new
wheats which might have revealed
valuable qualities have been rejected
this has occurred because the expert
mentors have kept close to the OBJ
jects mentioned above. During re-
cent years these objects have been
enlarged and, at the present time,
the field of inquiry covers almost
every possible problem connected
with the wheat industry.
Ten Hybrids Described.
The ten hybrids described below
are true winter wheats with cllb
heads. The form of the head varies
considerably but not enough to make
a true distinguishing characteristic.
These heads are so constructed that
they do not shatter when the grain
is left standing in the field Each
mesh, or separate part of the head,
protects the adjoining part so that
each acts as support for the other.
While there is wide variation in the
yields for the three separate years
given in the chart they are in reality
no greater than would be recorded
were few of the standard varieties
grown under exactly similar condi-
lions.

OF Interest to Democrats.

The National Democratic Congress
sional Campaign Committee has be-
gun active operations at its head
quarters at Washington. D. O. In
addition to its regular work, it is now
preparing a Campaign handbook
which it hopes to have ready for dis
tribution by July 1.-TWO or three
months earlier than heretofore.
The Committee is charged with the
duty of assisting, in every way pos
sible, the election of a Democratic
Congress. We wish the active CO.
operation of every voter in the United
States who believes, with us. that the
election of a Democratic Congress
would greatly benefit the country.
We must rely upon the people to sus-
tain our work by giving information
as to local conditions, and suggestions
fer our guidance.
Each individual can at least aid Is
by making a contribution. Will he
not do so and interest others in help
ing us, too?
We wish our campaign and-bOok
distributed as generally as possible,
and we will furnish copy, as soon
as published, to everyone who con-
tributes to our Committee.
Send remittances to me at Wash

Saturday, June 10, 1908.

The annual reunion of the old sol
diers of the Confederacy, held i'll the
city of Birmingham this week, was
largely attended and not lacking III
enthusiasm, on the part of the old
soldiers, for the principles for which
they fought in the long ago and in
their loyalty and love to the South
land Many of the veterans were
missed, who answered to the roll call
at the reunion in Richmond year
ago, and among them their old and
beloved commander, Stephen d. Lee,
but the message prepared by him for
the occasion was read. and he though
dead still spoke to them. The well
deserved tribute paid by him to the
old Confederate soldiers and the prin-
ciples which sustained them in their
great conflict are given in the follow
ing extract from that message:
HE enriched the world in honor.
He added to the spiritual riches OF
mankind. The memory of his deed
is the treasure of his people, incOr-
ruptible, undefile1 and that fadeth
not away. No noble action is ever
lost; no brave deed shall ever pass
away. They are written upon the
everlasting pages of the universe;
they are inscribed upon the heart of
God. This is the best that life offers
any man: to strive for the highest,
the greatest, the bravest he knows.
Is it not better to achieve these things,
even at the cost of life itself, than to
purchase length of days by mean and
sordid livin,, by cOwardice or craft,
by surrender of the fine ideals OF
manhood in base compliance to dis
honor? In the heart of every man
the Everlasting has made answer.
Looking beyond the little span of
human life into the white light of
eternity, what better could we have
wished for the Confederate soldier
than to have played his part as he
did? He has left heroic memories
that chasten and purify the hearts OF
all who shall come after him. He
has lifted life above the low level of
the commonplace into the realm of
precious and immutable things, into
the great spiritual realities which
abide above all change, beyond the
reach of years"
Gen. Clement A. Evans, of Georgia,
on the closing day was elected as
cOmmander-in-chief of the United
Confederate Veterans and made a
speech in acceptance of the honor,
showing that he would be worthy
successor of General Lee. In referring
to history books adopted by school
boards, he said in part, THAT duty de-
manded resistance to this corruption
of literature pretending to be his
tOrical truths" and urged that the
strict exclusion of all unfair publica-
tions from our schools be rigidly en-
forced. The next reunion will be held
at Memphis, Tenn.

The Democratic State Convention
met in the city of Roanoke on Thurs
day and the advices are, that the
body is controlled by the supporters
of Hon. VIM. j. Bryan and that resO-
buttons will be adopted, pledging the
votes of the delegates in the National
Convention to the Nebraskan for
President. Senator Daniel is reported
as having relented and will concur
with the other members in endorsing
him. In fact, with the nomination of
Mr.. Bryan assured. beyond all doubt,
no other course is open to Democrats,
true to their party, but to fall into
line and give him their loyal and
earnest support.

A new Jail is to be in course Of cree
ton soon at Accomac G. H., and an
efficient architect with practical
knowledge and experience is to be en-
gagged to furnish plans and specifca-
tions for the same, in accordance with
the wishes and suggestions of the
Board. This was the wise conclusion
reached at the meeting on Monday
and the first step being in the right
directions 1T is to be taken for granted,
as jails are built TO last for several
generations, that the Board will see
that the jail to be constructed under
their supervision will in its dimen-
siOns, cOnveniences and ornamental
ton be creditable to them and the
county represented by them. The
difference in cost between a make
shift and good structure means only
a few thousand dollars more and
surely the members OF the present
Board are too intelligent, to try to
save an insignificant sum and thus
run the county to the expense of
having to pull down a Jail built by
them in few years to give place to
one better suited to its needs and
more in accord with the wishes of its
people. A suitable Jail should be
built or none.
