Deep Ployyinr.

The air penetrates as deep as we
plow. The deeper we plow the more
plant food is prepared by the action OF
the air and more moisture is carried In
the soil to withstand droughts. Deep
fall plowing then is a great aid in
breaking up the compounds of tie soil,
in preparing plant food, in storing mols-
tire and In warming the soil for early
planting.

your thoughts magnets.

Improving Corn.

Realizing that the Improvement Of
corn Is a matter of concern to every
agricultural practitioner, because OF the
wide adaptability and general cultiva-
tlon of the cereal, the Virginia Agrlcul-
tural Experiment Station has publish
ed in a bulletin Of nearly 100 pages
the results of experiments in that field.
In a general introduction the bulletin
says:
investigations show very clearly
that the corn plant is quickly affected
by the environment in which 1t is
placed and yields readily to selection,
so that the way for Improvement is
open to all who will make a systematic
study of this important crop. The fact
that corn crosses so easily has resulted
in the development of numberless So
called varieties or strains, and 1t is
manlfestely impossible to effect perma-
nent improvement in any Of these with
out first understanding their individual
peculiarities and the good and bad
points possessed by each.
Conservation leans to the belief that
the indiscriminate crossing of plants
without first studying them carefully
and eliminating the hundreds of unde-
sirable varieties and the thousands Of
useless individuals is waste of time,
and that more permanent good can be
effected by making basic study Of va
rieties, rejecting all those that do not
reach a definite standard, and then pro-
ceeding to Systematically improve
those that seem worthy Of extended
consideration"

When coarse stable manure is plow-
ed under and there is moisture enough
in the soil and manure to cause its
fermentation, 1t Immediately begins to
furnish food for crops. 1t does this
all the better in early spring, as the
manure under the furrow holds it up
and admits warm air from above,
which is just what is required to cause
active fermentation. The release of
ammonia as the manure ferments en-
riches all the soil above it, as the CON
stant tendency to warm air is to rise.
Hence there is good reason for apply
ing manure as top dressing during the
winter on land that is to be plowed or
hoed for crops in the spring.

Municipal government is close to
the people 1t demands the best
intelligence and it is the duty OF
every voter to interest himself in
helping select the best qualified men
in the city for the work. An officer
selected by intelligent ami honest
voters will reflect the views of his
constituents. An officer elected
largely by a venal ignorant ella
cannot serve the people with the
same degree of efficiency. even If he
were so minded To our shame
Bluefeld has been dominated by the
negro vote. We say this because
the administration now i'm power
was elected not by the Intelligence
and best interests of BIuefeli but
by six or seven hundred C9loreJ
voters and about half as many
whites. Let BluefGld this spring Sc
lect officers which will reflect a
credit to our city The ticket should
not be a partisan one but one that
every intelligent voter can trust
with their affairs We would like
TO see several good Republicans
upon that ticket. because there are
good Republicans in Bluefeld who
have fought for the best interests
OF the city. The city has not been
controlled so much by the Republi-
can party as By those who have
throttled the party. Let every ln.cl.
ligent voter consider the thousand
white honest and intelligent voters
upon the side of good government
and decide with which he shall cast
