TIMELY ADVICE ON

According to the September buhe-
tin of the Virginia Department OF
Agriculture recently issued by Com
missioner George W. koiner, the
acreage of wheat IN Virginia increased
5000 acres last year, but the ave-
rage Yield is only 1872 bushels. This.
according to Mr. koiner. is nearly
eight bushels an acre less than Vir-
ginia farmers should be getting of
their land. Under the caption. Let
Us Grow Better Yields OF Wheat In
Virginia" Mr.. koiner gives the Vir-
ginia growers some wholesome advice
as to the preparation of their land
and the character of the fertilizer TO
be used The monthly bulletins OF
the department are mailed free to
all applicants and are brimful of time
~ and practical suggestions. The
September bulletin also includes fer
tilzer formulas for wheat" and an
article on the home mixing OF fer-
tilizers.

For weeks past Virginia has been politicattng
This is necessary from time to time under our
system Of government In order that the peo-
pie may select those to whom they are willing
to entrust their interests for certain specified
time.
The primary Of yesterday was the culntna-
ton Of one Of those periodical political sprees
me result was SO decisive that none can doubt
that the will of a majority of the citizens
OF Virginia was expressed.
That the majority shall rule Is the very es-
sehce Of Democracy. Those who have been
lined up against each other in this inter party
contest should now get together. bury all ami
mostly and devote their time and attention TO
the upeuiiding OF the State and their respec-
| tive sections.
The memories Of the struggle should be al
lowed to speedily fade away and the friendly
| foes. for such they despite some very
/ bitter words and accusations should sst To-
gether as though the senatorial campaign Of
1911 had never been.
The Ledger Dispatch believes that this Will
)! be done. The Democrats Of Virginia are not
wont t. carry around grudges against each
/ other which are bound to prove detrimental to
! the state. They are a ruls patriotic ctti-
1ens with the good Of Virginia at heart
/ 1t may therefore he asserted with confidence
that those who lost In yesterdays battle Of
i ballots will bow cheerfully the will of the
! majority and turn with renewed energy to

CURRENTCOMMENT

The primary election has come and gone
and only one conclusion can be drawn from
the result, and that is that n majority of the
Whlte Democratic voters Of Virginia are thor
ohghly satihed with Senators Martin and
swanson as their representative In the United
states Senate, for their victory is overwhelming
throughout the State, and it Is now up to every
voter to gracefully bow to that will and stand
together for the success of the party Messrs
Jones and Glass made good fight with many
or the best men in the party's ranks behind
them. but victory has not perched their han
ner, and the majority must always rule. That
Martin and Swanson Will faithfully represent
their State and party and not their friends
only we confidently predict and the sooner all
bitterness Is laid aside the better It will be for
all concerned.-Loudoun Mirror.
