ALL HANDS REJOICE.

The. Northern Neck News rejoices
aud is glad because the Byrd oyster bill
7 was defeated and notes with much
pleasure that the representatives of
Tidewater Virginia in the Legislature
were never so thoroughly united either
! in support of, or in opposition to, any
matter of legislation affecting the oyster
interests as in their agreement upon
this bill. AS we understand. however,
the purpose of the Byrd bill was to pro-
tect these interests. If it would not
have done that, it ought to have been
killed. -Times~Dispatch.
And thatwa the purpose of the
movers and the understanding
of all really acquainted with the
movement. AS many as three
Tidewater Senators. and several
Tidewater Delegates, favored the
bill. All but two did not hesitate
to say that it was the best thing
to be done in the premises, but
could not support it because of
the opposition at home-an OPP
position that was either ignorant
OF the protective purposes of the
James river bill or that had been
aroused by political agitators.
This is the gist of the thing in a
nutshell.
1t might be well to add that
the measure was not pushed
because OF serious misrepresenta-
tions, and because those members
who opposed it, publicly and
privately declared that the Com
mission of Fisheries already had
the power to establish the pro-
posed watch-houses and guard
the Strengthened lines, or such a
zone as they were able, and adj
vised the officials to do this and
not abandon the river, or jar the
feelings of some by the reputed
breaking" of the survey, no
matter how little ground there
was for this charge.
So, with this unanimous con-
sent, and with the codified oyster
and fish laws passed, the oyster
officials feel they have secured
nine points of that they asked
for, and will go at their work
with renewed courage and vigor.

not open until the fall of 1911, but that
he never expected to open at an earlier
date on account of the unavoidable de-
lay in receiving appropriations. S25, 900

A TON of hay, delivered at the
wharf at Ocran q few days ago
cost the purchaser $1,000. Ian
caster county could raise hay SUI
ficient to supply the Northern
Neck and havehay to spare. Hay
is one of the easiest crops to raise,
does not have to be ploughed,
hoed or replanted, does not re-
quire to be reseeded annually,
and costs less to harvest than
corn, wheat or other cereal. Yet
Lancaster county has to buy hay.
Any moral in this, Mr.. Lancaster
Farmer?
