We can also rely on what Mir. W. D. McCurdy says about It's being paying crop, as he Is one of our most practical farm CTS, and Judge w. H. Thomas has also planted it.

An acre will produce at least two tons during the year. which Is worth at the lowest price SIP per ton. Now you can see the per cent of net gain on prairie land.
 At the experiment station near Uniontown and at the expense and un- der the direction of the United States Government, Colonel Mumford has seeded fourteen acres of alfalfa which IS inclosed by a hog-proof fence. Through some careless handling of Lard seed was mixed with the alfalfa. During the spring, quite a picture was spread on canvas, as it were, before the visitors to this alfalfa plot of four teen acres.

WORTH CONSIDERING.

The following item from The Nor folk Landmark points a moral that will apply with equal force to other sections than Virginia:
 An interesting phenomenon Is the destruction, by orders from health boards of immense quantities of straw berries and other perishable food in Northern cities, where the commission n merchants have been unable to sell the overstock at even two or three cents a quart.
 Is 1t not possible that if these ber- ries had been offered for sale in South ern home markets. at really low prices as of old, the result would have been a profit to the farmer instead of the heavy loss which he has sustained in his eagerness to play for high prices in the North? How many times have strawberries been offered at retail at a price as low as five cents a quart around here this season?
 Similarly we note that hundreds of thousands of pounds of American meats are being shipped back from Europe, because the foreign markets are overstocked and the American mar ket yields better returns. The busi- ness of despising the local market to play for the outside market may be overdone.

 Tn snite of the elaborate plans of the Taft supporters to crush out Roosevelt sentiment, delegates to the Republican National Convention have begun to talk like this: |,
 Freddy for A second elective term"
 The phrase is on the lips of Western men especially. Colorado Is Roose- velt stronghold. California, the dele +ion nf which was almost instructed for Roosevelt is represented by delegates that will get back of any movement to force the President to run again, The movement is going to be serious when thousands of delegates have reached the city, and the effect of the Taft steam-roller tactics on the country Is
 "The raft steam roller has crushed all the Taft sentiment that ever existed out of my State" said a newly arrived Colorado delegate, who did not con- Sens Saye 10 3ever favored SS m the Secretary of War for President.

 Similar expressions are heard from deIeRates from every section of the West It is the talk in all the Annex beadduartersi that the Roosevelt senti- ment will be too strong to crush with out full hearing when the convention meets.
 Senator Lodge is said to be prepared to make a speech reiterating the Presi. dents determination not to run again, but this is believed to be a puerile weapon with wh ich to oppose the en- thusiasm which is aroused by the mem tfon of the old ticket:

SHALL IT BIT A MATTER or xxR-
 CHANDIsEr

There are some strange nisconoep-
 tions in matters political these days. For instance. the words of our old friend Henry watterson are being quoted, as if he was an oracle com missioned from on high. when in fact he makes as many and ss sgresious mistakes as any man who ever fig ured in politics. He was the author of the declaration in lss2, that the nomination of Mfr. Cleveland was walking through defeat into an open grave" He was far from being true prophet then. and we have soms- times feared that 'the wish was father to the thought"
 The antics of Tom Watson are at- tracing more attention than should be accorded to a man who hops from limb to limb as personal pidue or political ambition dictates. without surrendering his position as leader of the Populist Party he plunged into the thickest of the Democratic fray in Georgia in 1908 and sought to line up the Populists for Hoke smith. No re- ouirement as to being Democrats was made and Watson happened to land on the winning side. This year for purposes of his own he opposed Smith for reelection. but did nct very strong ly, if at all. support Brown. He again landed on the winning side. so far as defeat of Smith goes. but it Is ridicu- lous to set up the claim that he was the main cause of it. Two ex-Popuiist candidates for Governor of Georgia, seab Wright and J. K. Hines were on the stump for smith. and scores upon scores of Popuiists lined up behind them.
 In few days the Popuiist Party of Georgia will meet in convention ana there Tom Watson win be in his proper element. He has distinctly aisciaImed being Democrat and the way in which Democrats have toadied to him and dickered with him has been anything else than creditable. If Clark HoweiI's proposition of nominating Watson for running mate with Bryan should be adopted there the old Democratic shtp ought to put out the sign up for Cowes and market"

Though I went down with the platform, the flag float ed to the breeze and was a beautiful sight. Many comrades came to me when quiet was restored and compli- mented me in holding up the colors.
 My only injury was a strained ankle and elbow. am thankful 1t was not worse.

Referring to a statement in The New York Times that Debs has twice been defeated in the race for President The Evening Call, the Socialist organ again asserts that "Debs never has been defeated; 1t Is merely that he has been outvoted." That may be a distinction without a difference, but 1t lets Debs down little easier. Can not Mir. Bryan apply 1t to himself?

Value of Tears

Gohooh h1AH.
 Dr. Romme. the well-known French medical authority, speaks eloquently of the usefulness of tears in the current issue of La Revue. Tears, he writes, are most useful in cases of great de- pression or deep sorrow. Crying ere ates a kind of cerebral torpor, a men, tai indifference, which acts as an an- aesthetic. One drowns sorrow in tears should never restrain our tears. They form, especially with children. a safety valve, which does nothing less than preserve. the balance of the brain"

in things that they see, and in a
broad sense they are right. What
is sometimes called blind faith is
not faith at all. There must he
reason and fact to form a foun-
dation for trust. In regard to a
medicine or remedy, for example,
people ask, elias it cured 9th
ers? Have cases like nine been
relieved by it? Is it in harmony
with the truths of modern science,
and has it a record above suspic-
ion? If so, it is worthy CT conf
