The farm Of the Future.

just as there has been 4 revolu-
lion in the business world in the
last hundred years, so it Is almost
certain that there is going 20 be a
revolution En- farming during the
twentieth century.
We are going 90 learn To- manaoe
the land better. We are going to
learn how 70 save the fertility Of
the soil. We are going 10 learn
how To breed plants of greater
productiveness and profit. We
are going to learn Co manage new
lines of farming in sections where
these new lines may prosper. and
going To get twice MS much from
the land a. we have ever cotton
before. All kinds of modern con-
veniences and comfort, are coming
to the country. Farm homes are
going % be more beautiful. Good
roads are coming through all our
rural sections. The telephone will
put the farmer in communication
with an tho outside world. Rural
free delivery viii be extended until
practically every farmer In the
country has the advantages of daily
mail Better organization of the
farmers is going to result In better
methods of marketing and greater
stability in prices. Our public
schools are going TO be made to
train for farm life. and we are 60
ing to have thousands of boys i'm
the agricultural colleges where
there are how only scores.
The men who work on the farms
are going TO have new spirit:
and instead of finding their daily
work mere drudgery, education
will give such new meaning To
their tasks and such q zeSt 20 their
life that every one viii go about
his daily work with an eager and
Joyous spirit such a, the factory

Attention, Fruit Growers!

What has become of the Fruit
Growers Association which was
organized in Berryville several
years agol
Has it distintegrated. or been
submerged in a flood Of lethargyl
Fruit growing sections have their
Fruit Exchanges; States have their
Horticultural Societies; and most
fruit producing Counties have an
active Fruit Growers Association.
But Clarke's awakening is not
yet.
The primary object of County
fuirt organizations is education in
orchard management, that we may
successfully combat orchard pests
and inform ourselves on the best
method of culture for obtaining
maximum results.
Shall we nurse our Indifference
and remain uniformed, hile
neighboring Counties and States
are obtaining the best possible
instruction from orchard men of
experience and State and Govern
ment experts.
1t Isl the consensus of opinion
among experienced fruit growers
and agricultural experts that the
soil and climate of Clarke county
Is as favorable for the growing of
apples as that of any fruit section
of the East.
Let us grasp the opportunity
while it knocks.
Let our President call meeting
of the Association, at his earliest
convenience, and invite the public.
We want more orchards. more
spraying, and more cultivation, 10
place the fruit industry in the East
on par with that on the Pacific
slope.
Clarke must, necessarily, be a
link in the fruit section of the
Virginias.
Let us place energy and actively
To the fore in our organization,
and become a subsidiary of the
Virginia horticultural Society.

Would Require Report Of Deaths.

Richmond. Va. Jan. IL, 1910.
(SpeciaD TOday's session of the
Assembly was marked by a new
flood of bills almost equal to that
which deluged the clerks desk the
second day of the session, but as
the committees are already getting
to work it is expected that the pro-
posed legislation will be rapidly
digested.
One of the most important
measures introduced today was
brought forward by Senator
Charles L. Cravatt. of Caroline,
with the cordial support of the
State Board of Health. This is a
bill requiring the proper register
ing of all deaths occurring in the
State. The bill provides that the
State be divided into registration
districts and that certificate show
ing the cause OF death In each case
be issued by the physician and
filed with the local registrar for
permanent record.
This bin has long been desired
by lawyers, health officers, and
physicians. as the lack of LEGAL
records of deaths in Virginia
greatly handicapS both legal and
health work. The bill was drawn
mp after consultation with Major
l.. L. Christian. former President
of the State Funeral Directors
Association. and has met with
very favorable comment. 1t has
been approved by the Medical
Society of Virginia and the State
Board OF Health. and prominent
members of the legal fraternity
have strongly favored its passage.
As Virginia is one of the few
States which has not passed such
law, 1t is confidently believed
that the registration bill will be
one of the first to appear among
the acts of 1910.

First Nationals Good Showing.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the First National Bank
last week resulted in the election
of Mr.. Charles Mullikin as Pres
ident, and Mr.. III. W. Baker as
Vice-President. Cashier James
w. Foley, Assistant Cashier j. T.
L. Jones and Bookkeeper G. Van
Deventer were reelected.
The Bank placed $4,000 to its
surplus fund during the year just
closed, which makes total of
$4,000 earned surplus during the
five years since its organization.
During the past four years the
bank has declared 6 per cent an
nual dividends TO its stockholders.
We doubt if there is bank with
its capital (S25, ,OOO) in this State
which has made such a good show
ing.

Byrd Bill Should Pass.

Yielding his individual Judgment
under the overwhelming weight of
popular opinion, Mr.. Byrd has
eliminated the compulsory feature
of his primary bill, and modified it
in one or two other particulars,
and Monday he offered the altered
n easure in the House.
Those who sincerely believe in
the principle of the primary should
give their support to the Byrd bill,
and citizens generally who are in
terested should make their views
known to the members of the
Assembly.
1t is regrettable thing that the
Democratic party authority (be-
tween conventions should offer
a bill so unsatisfactory that an
influential leading Democrat, such
as Speaker Byrd, should feel it his
duty topress an individual measure.
But as between the Byrd bill,
with the compulsory clause stricken
out, and the State Committees bill,
there is no room for argument
among primary advocates.
Give us the Byrd bill.-Rich.
