Washington, July 4.
West Virginia Democrats, as repre-
scented by the chairmen Of the various
Democratic county committees, are
unanimous in their approval of all that
the Democratic majority in the House
has accomplished, asyell as all that
the Democratic caucus of Congress has
outlined and in which the Democratic
Congressman from West yirs la have
cohcurred.
The reciprocity bill meets with APP
proval Of the West Virginia Democrats,
as expressed by their county chairmen
and the course of the Democratic Con-
gressmen from the country atlarge and
those from West Virginia IN particular
has been approved BY the West Virginia
county chairmen.
Senator Chiffon sent ont letters to all
the county chairnen ID Vest Virginia
asking them to say whether they favor
Canadian reciprocity as proposed in the
bin now pending in the Senate and
whether they approve the measures
adopted BY the Democratic caucus Of the
House. Answers have been received
from almost every Democratic county
chairmen in the State and without ex-
'ception they approve the course of the.
Democrats in the House in voting the

Alfalfa and Fruit.

Alfalfa and fruit, from my experience,
have proved to be the best two crops
raised in the Shenandoah Valley.
The regular market for hay, which
constantly exists, at comparatively
high prices and the uncertain crops of
timothy and clover, which has been the
fate Of recent years, makes it well
worth the trouble, time and expense to
every farmer in having at least one
| field Of say 10 acres in alfalfa.
Give the best land you have for it
will be your most valuable crop.
Thorough preparation Of the land is, I
believe, one of the first requisites to
success in securing a stand. Two
methods can be followed here. One is
TO plow deeply your corn field stubble
4 in late winter or early spring, then
apply from 1000 to 5000 pounds Of
ground lime Or 4, 900 of agricultural
lime per acre and harrow field every
| time = weed crop has terminated, until
August 81
BY this method you have killed nearly
every weed near the surface, allowing
the fall growth to go into winter and
cover the roots. =
Two hours DAYS grazing for your
milk cows in September or October will
not hurt your fields and win give a lot
of help to your fall pasture. but don't
allow your stock on it when ground is
/ wet or dew on the leaves.
/ When frost comes, lock the gates to
your alfalfa fields and never enter ex-
cept to top dress with manure made
| from the fed alfalfa. Don't TOP dress
with any other manure for weed seeds
will grow in your fields.
j / estimate the cost of d stand Of al
falfa at about $50 per acre. including
every thing. MY first cutting last year
paid all costs, the other two were clean
| gain and BY June 9Th, 1911, / had my
/ first crop for the year Of / ~ tons to
] the acre in nv barn. AT the present
price for hay nv alfalfa field will prob.
ally bring me $50 an acre this year, and
my fields better now than ever.
4 You cannot keep on farming and moi
afford at least to try it.
Every animal on the farm loves it.
/ MY carriage horses, cows, hogs anc
4 chickens were fed on it all winter.

TAFT Makes II unInterestino.

A dispatch from the government
on wheels" declares that President
Taft invariably thanks his tariff au-
diences' for their patience in listen
ing to dry, uninteresting and tedi.
Gus subject"
Dry. uninteresting and tedious?
That depends.
The. tariff is bound up with at least
two things which are of tremendous
interest to the plain man who does
not care for the technicalities Of pol.
itics. One Is the high price of Amer
lean goods to the American consumer
by reason Of the destruction of legiti-
mate competition through the tariff.
The other thing is the growth Of
the power Of protected interests in
the business and financial world.
Swollen fortunes, special privileges,
gigantic combinations in restraint Of
trade--these are few of the growths
which fill the angles Of the tariff
fence.
The tariff is interesting enough in
the hands Of a speaker who attacks
live facts instead of playing timidly
and perfunctorily with mummifled the
ories.--St. Louis Republic.

An invitation from the Netherlands
government to attend has been re-
ceived at the state department.
Despite the prohibitory law OF
1909, which makes 1t illegal to bring
into the United States smoking opium.
opium smoking still prevails In this
country to an alarming extent and is
finding its new victims largely In the
white population. This Is made possii-
BILE partially by drug smuggled from
Canada and along the Pacific coast,
and partly by the manufacture Of
smoking opium in this country from
crude opium brought in sa medicinal
drug. OF this smuggled article more
than 250.000 pounds have been seized
In the last two years. In 1910 more
than 100000 pounds OF the drug were
brought in as medicinal opium. 1t Is
estimated that at least 100000 pounds
were successfully smuggled across
the border in 1910. and that 10000 ad-
ditional pounds are manufactured an
nually from crude opium.
These figures represent decrease
in the amount of smoking opium used.
but they do not show another effect
of the law-the increased use Of CO
caine, morphine and other opium de-
rivatives. For as the drug victims
have found opium harder to obtain,

Real Tariff Test.

"It's pretty hard nowadays to tell
who is a Republican and who Is a
Democrat" t."--President Taft In his
speech at Olympia.
Not so difficult, Mr.. President, when
the test is applied.
Is he for a high tariff framed to en-
able the manufacturer to levy tribute
on the consumer? Does he resist
every attempt to lower the outrageous.
ly high rates Of the present tariff!
Does he pronounce the Payne-Aldrich
act the best tariff law ever framedT
Then there is no doubt whatever that
he is a Republican.
Does he favor immediate tarif re-
duction to relieve the consumer from
his heavy burden? Does he favor a
tariff to raise revenue to run the gov
ernment and not to protect" trusts
and favorites? Does he demand Inn
mediate action, without waiting for
the long-delayed report OF a doubtful
board? Does he stand for the inter
est of the whole people and not of a
single favored class? Then he is q
Democrat
II the insurgent Republicans stick
to their principles, they must sup
port the Democrats. If they choose
to support Republicans merely for
the sake of the party name. they Will
be abandoning their principles.-Bal.
