There was an interesting and instruc-
tive meeting of the Boys Corn Club
of Halifax. held at the public school
building on upper Main street on Sat
Grday. In the absence of Governor
w. II. Mann. who was expected to
be present to make an address, Mr.
t. .. Sandy presided, and made. an
able address on The Cost of Corn
Production While by no means
deficient in theory and science"
OF farming. fMr. Sandy is specially
familiar with practical cultivation of
the soil. He knows how to till the
soil. and those who visit his splendid
plantation near Burkeville can see
the result.
He may not be classed among the
distinguished orators, whose theories
are clothed in choice language and
high -sounding words and rounded
sentences. but he can talk-fuentiy for
hours, with ever-increasing interest.
10 the farmers who desire to know
how TO make corn, tobacco, wheat,
grass, peas, etc He knows and can
tell what he knows.
The clubs were also addressed by

QUARAN TINE RAISED
IN CHESTERFIELD
COUNTY STOCK BREEDERS CAN
NOW DRIVE THEIR CATTLE
ACROSS JAMES RIVER
BRIDGES.

Quarantine restrictions regarding
cattle In Chesterfield county were
raised Monday by DR. owen who
has charge of the work in Virginia
and North Carolina for the United
states government. DIR. Owen works
IN connection with the State and
county authorities. The order re-
leasing the county was recorded at
Chesterfield Courthouse Monday. and
is effective after April /.
Taking Chesterfield out of the
quarantine district will be a source
| of much qualification TO the stock
Breeders OF the county and to butch
ers on the north side of the river.
During the months of quarantine no
cattle could be driven across the
bridges TO the slaughterhouse on the
north side, the rules being so strict
that farmers were not even allowed
TO take a veal from Chesterfield to
the Richmond butchers In wagon.
The raising of the quarantine offers
fine market to Chesterfield stock
raisers, who will, of course, take ad-
vantage of 1t. Many cattle are raised
every year in the county. and notice
that the market IL open to the breed
ers, 1t Is thought that much atten-
ton will be paid to this branch of
agricultural life In the county south
OF the James river.
FTuvanna Also Released.
DIR. Owen said Monday morning
that Chesterfield ana Fluvanna coun-
ties would both be released from
quarantine this spring. In speaking
| about the matter, the Veterinarian
said that these two counties were the
only ones in the restricted district
that had the no fence. laws. .> de at :
tributes the fact that the Texas ticks
have been eliminated from these
counties because the no fence law
prevails
DR.. Owen said 1t is very hard to
exferminate the tick When-eattle-
allowed to roam at large. Where they
are confined to pastures treatment
can be administered and pastures
changed each year until not a. tick
! is left. This has been the case In
| Chesterfield.
While some OF the farmers thought
| II a hardship to be made to spray
their stock with oil and change their
| pasture, they now see the wisdom OF
the action of the officers and are de-
lighted TO know that they will not
only be free from the ravages Of the
dreaded Texas tick. but have an open
market for their stock.
The following counties are still I'M
der quarantine restrictions: Essex
Surry, Nansem ond. Isle of Wight.
Southampton. York and Warren. One
third of each of the last two named
have been released None of these
counties have the no fence law. which
provides that all owners of stock must
keep them confined in pastures and
not let them run at large. In other
words, "A man who has no stock does
not have TO go to the expense OF fenc-
ing out his neighbor's cattle.
DR.. Owen says If the affected eoun-
ties would establish the no fence law
they would soon be rid of the ticks
and get out of quarantine.

MALARIAI, NOT YELLOW
FEVER, ON MARIETTA

ON BOARD THE UNITED STATES
GUNBOAT MARIETTA, by wireless
via Key West Feb. THAT there Ia
no yellow fever aboard this gunboat
was asserted positively to-day by Jo-
seph Y. Porter. superintendent OF the
State board OF health and port quar-
antine office at Key West. who Wis
tied the ship this morning and made
a careful diagnosis of the suspected
cases.
The quarantine officer assured Com
mander Cooper that the suspected
cases were malarial fever only and
after examination of the fever chart
by Coxswain j. II. Minor. who died
aboard ship last Sunday at Puerto
Cortez. stated that, while the chart
WAS typical OF yellow fever the case
could have been one of the other
fever.
Dr. Porter Informed Commando
Cooper that he could haul down the
quarantine flag and anchor at Key
West. The ships officers, he added
might go ashore. The ship still is
in quarantine, however. Many blue
| Jackets have received wireless mes
sages from anxious relatives. and
/ Commander Cooper has permitted
| them to send wireless replies to their
homes, assuring parents and friends
| that there is no danger.
