Mr.. George McDuff Blake, of Monroe

first magnitude before the Common
Council Friday night.
MIR. Blake led on by complimenting
the Petersburg delegation that had
come over to get pointers from the
three million dollar budget.

Blakes cordially an well as that OF
the rest of the council which was
extended through President Peters In
q clever speech in which he stated in
cidentally that the Richmond coun-
Gil was accustomed to doing more
business in one night than the legis-
lature usually accomplishes In a
month. This was especially appre-
ciated by Mr.. Wilcox who served a
term with the Virginia solons several
years ago and then retired 80 that he
might better prosecute his law busi-
ness.
Another token of appreciation was
voiced In resolution offered by
Chairman Pollard, Of the finance COM
mittee, and unanimously adopted.
But that was not the last Of Mr..
Blake. He was heard from again

DRY FARMING IS ANALYZED
Proposition Is Simple and Takes Into Account Four Things-All the
 Work Implies Water.

The dry farming proposition is at bottom very simple. It takes account of four things.
 Get a Deep Water Reservoir.-To get this, blow deep, or put a subsoil blow after the stubble blow
 Make Firm Seed Bed.-To secure this use some system of packing the soil. preferably the sub-surface pack CT. This provides the grain with the best opportunity for germination
 Keep a Dust Mulch.-This is the e2rk that bottles up the water held in
 reservoir. and that is given to ths lsnt through the medium of a WeH-P>spared seed bed
 Get Plenty of Rain.-Dry farming Hnthusiasts frequently forget to men lion this. Item, but it really is impor- teI.tt. Dry land produces nothing All the work done implies water Get water, or fail,
 This is the dry farming gospel in nutshell. The rest is amplification. There can be no hard and fast rules laid down, cropping systems differ, and in order to meet the conditions above laid down, methods must differ locally. Which leads to the final re- mark that when a man is betting his lime and that of his family against a new country and limited rainfall, he Aeds a whole lot of common sense. pr an inordinate a1acunt of luck.

 Inonly supposed that if
 Zen a sufficiently moist soil
 growing period, that their Edition in this respect is Q matter Of little importance.
 As a matter of fact, trees are giving Df moisture at all seasons Of the year, thOrgh to much less extent, of course, in cold weather During the warm sunny days in winter. there is B considerable loss of moisture through the twigs. and except for very severe weather, the roots are able to furnish this loss, though the soil about them be frozen. The ability to do this Is naturally less if the soil be dry or frozen very hard In that case. the loss of moisture results in more or less complete drying up of the tissues of the plants and this often results ip the death of the tree.
 What is known as root-killing may ln some instance be due to the imma- ture or unripe condition of the plant when winter begins. but in most cases, root-killing follows dry seasons like the one just closed.
 If the soil has been kept moist by cultivation or mulching the trees are safe, but if the soil is dry. it should be thoroughly wet before freezing and then mulched with old straw, chaff or stable manure, to prevent drying out The mulch delays freezing and this In itself is an important item, as it is the long continued frozen state of woody plants that injures them to fatal degree.
 A moist soil then, kept in an unfro- zen condition as long as possible, is the surest means to prevent winter willing of tree. In a season like this, root-killing is very likely to occur.

Reported.
Health Department Experts
Sent AT Once To Differ
ent Localities.

Richmond, Va. June 90
Within the last few days the
State Health Department has
received notice of several small
outbreaks of typhoid fever and
has sent its experts to the 10
calities where the disease APP,
peared in order to prevent, il
possible, any general spread of
the malady. In every instance
where much typhoid fever has
been reported, the epidemiolo-
gists of the Department have
been sent without delay and
have cooperated with the local
health authorities.
Health Commissioner Will
liams today stated that none of
the epidemics thus far reported
were of serious nature, and
consequently be made no pub
lie announcement of the where
abouts of the disease. The usu.
al number of cases, he said,
had been reported from all
quarters of the State, with the
prospect that the present year
would be an average one in the
number of cases of fever.
Thanks to the Press of the
State, said DR.. Williams, !" the
public is fully advised of the
fact that the Department will
investigate all extensive out,
breaks Of fever and the latter
are being reported If the local
authorities will keep in mind
that the prevention of epidem.
les is largely n matter of early
treatment and hence of early
reports, the problem will be
much simpliiied Oftcn a de.
lay of a day may mean the in
lection of dozen persons and
the establishment of many new
foci Of disease.

Southern
Enterprise.

Newspapers in the North
generally, are commenting on
the enterprise shown in the
South and by the Southern pa
pers in the Back Home"
movement. Concerning this
matter, the Buffalo, New York,
News, of recent date says edi.
torially:
Nothing illustrates the en-
terprise of the South more than
that activity of its boards of
trade, it's railway Industrial
bureaus and other such organi-
cations created to show the
enormous business advantages
that are open in that part of
the Union. 1t is we'll known
that no other part of civili2a-
ton has made greater progress
in the last 30 years than that
which in "A general way is
called the South.
The revelation of its wealth
and resources, the experience
of its usual delightful climate,
tine variety of soil, the treas
ures of iron and coal us well as
of other minerals, have become
known, to the effect that, by
the coolest figures, the South
has made greater gain than
any other equal area of terri
tory in the range of ciyiliza-
ton.
"The special point made by
many of the articles sent out is
that Southern people who have
been elsewhere are coming
back South because they find
there attractions which. long
lay unnoticed and they are also
bringing back with them many
others from all parts of the
country, introducing a greatly
needed capital and labor to de-
veiop the measnreless resources
of that splendid land"
