ranged under the supervision OF W. H.
ing information concerning the affair can
write Mr. DORM.
The contestant must prepare his land
and sow his seed by September is. 1t is re-
quired that he sow at least twenty quarts
OF timothy. herd's-grass and clover two
parts timothy. two parts herd's-grass and
one part saplng clover. and three or -four
pounds OF alfalfa per acre.
The best time to seed grass is from Au.

This contest is not started to ask the
farmer TO conform to any set rules other
than that his entry must be in by October
!. therefore 1t is best to get the seed in
sometime In August or September. Th.
does not apply to grass seeded after grain.
but is for a separate stand for seed sown
in the months OF August and September
The committee having in hand this dem.
onstration Is the same that has charge OF
the boys and mems corn contests, and has
for Its chairman j. n. Terry, OF News
Ferry, and W.. C. Slate, secretary South
Boston. Those. there fore, entering will
write to Mr.. Slate and state that he desire,
to be contestant.
The committee expects a fine list OF
prizes to be offered for grass growing, so
that 1t will not be necessary much longer
to go outside the county to get enough corn
and hay.

Some one has said that you could
not throw stone in any direction up
here in the Fork" without hitting

am quito sure that II that stone

against man who had married into
some one OF the various snead FAM
lilies. Mrs. William e. Hatcher, VIII
was a Snead, has recently published
small volume giving the history OF
the Fluvanna sneads. from which
settled In the Fork" about a hun
dred years ago and married three sis
tiers (Pollards). Each OF the three
reared seven sons and ono daughter.
These twenty-one sons, the majority
of whom are still living, have popu-
lated the Fork" and hence tho

woods.
Captain Charles G. snead lives at
the old homestead built by his father,
and cultivates the ESQ acres of the
old place in the manner / have de-
scribal above. He has been a land
buyer all of his life, commencing so
he tells me. with twenty acres. which
he bought in 1862 with the money OBJ
tanned by the sale of fine horse he
captured from the Yankees in North
ern Virginia while he was captain OF
the Fluvanna Artillery. He has added
TO his purchases and his inheritance
from time to time. until he is now the
owner of several valuable tracts in
the Fork" making in all about 1900
acres. Too much land. should say
for any one man to look after, but
the captain Is a hustler from way
back, and then he has three as fine
farmer boys as ever came down the
pike to backstand him in his rapidly
growing years, and these boys. as
fast as they get through the Fork

Let's Rinse Big Prize Fund-What A
Halifax MIN Is Doing.
There is no kind of tagging in the
interest in the reign OF king Corn"
in Virginia. and farmers in every di-
,rection are wing with each other as
90 which shall make the biggest and
best crop this year. Interest In the
forthcoming corn contest at the State
Fair Is increasing so far as the grow
ers Of the grain are concerned. 1t
must be said. however. that the news
papers throughout the State are not
showing altogether as lively an in
terest in the raising OF the $4,000 fund
that is wanted for special prizes. This
amount can be easily raised If the
newspapers will take hold of the cam
paign in their respective localities
Every paper in the State ought to
open subscription books and urge
early subscriptions to the fund. The
Tmes-Dispatch is getting some re-
sponses to the call, some of theM very
liberal.
An appeal to the papers throughout
the state is not out OF place. Brethren
OF the press. let the good work go
on and let Secretary Mark Lloyd. OF
the Fair Association, whose address Is
Richmond. hear from you and tell him
what you are doing.
T. G. Pool, whose acres are down IN
Halifax county. happens to be the man
who raised, the largest amount Of corn
to the acre in that good old county
last year. His output measured 125
bushels and 4s pounds. He is max.
ing an effort to lead the State this
year and walk away with the bis
cash prize for the biggest yield at
the State Fair. He is in the rims
also as a competitor for tSe special
prize offered BY the Southern Stock
Yards.
Mr.. Pool is not a greedy man, and
he is not fighting simply for the
money value of the prize, but to hurry
on the day of the complete triumph OF
old King Corn in Virginia. He is not
only competitor for all the prizes in
sight, but he is a liberal contributor
to the special prize money mat IS
being raised by the newspapers OF
