To break the power of the Demo
cratic machine" in Virginia an "Anti-
machine League" has been quietly or
ganized at Richmond with Charles u.
Gravatt, of Port Royal, as its head.
This became known here yesterday.
The executive committee of the league
is composed of one man from each Con-
gressional district, and among those
who are said to be identified with the
movementare Harry st. George Tucker.
OF Norfolk and Lexington, Martin
Springfellow, of Culpepper, Robert W.
Shultice, of Norfolk, J. Lindsey Gordon.
of Louisa, and C. b. Garrett, of Rich
mond
Mr.. Garrett, law partner of John
Garland Pollard, of Richmond, will be
the manager of the Leagues campaign.
Headquarters will be opened in Rich
mond within the next few DAYS.
The organization of this league is
taken to mean that concerted effort
will be made by the independent Demo-
Gratis to break up the small coterie of
otficeholders and politicians who have
been dominating the Democratic party
for years. The defeat of Thomas S.
Martin and Claude A. Swanson for the
United States Senate will be the prime
object sought. Members of the league
believe if these two men are removed
from Virginia politics machine poll
tics" will go with them. Norfolk Vir-
ginian-Pilot.
In the language of the old mountain
eer "this is certainly swapping the
devil for witch" Of what advantage
would it be to depose the present ina
chine" only to get a new one of the
same stripe composed of men who have
IN the past always supported and afil-
lated with the present machine and at
times the recipients of their favors?
There is only one way to eliminate the
control of the machine" in Virginia
and that is by the election of a Repub-
lican ticket and there is only one way
this can be accomplished and that is for
the Republicans to form permanent
organization in every district, county
and precinct to afford a rallying point
for the intelligent voters of the State
who cannot, at present, show their dis
satisfaction with existing conditions
for want Of an effective organization to
combat the iniquitous conditions exist
ing in our State today.
1t is duty the Republicans owe their
State. Let them therefore complete
their organization and in 1913 they can
Redeem Virginia.

To Build Roads Out of Bristol.

The board of supervisors of Washing
ton county Virginia. have endorsed the
bond issue of $50. 900 for pike roads for
the Goodson district, which adjoins Bris-
toi. This means that at an early date
work will commence on the construction
OF four different pike roads leading out
OF Bristol and through that district.
This will include the Bristol-Abingdon
pike, and it is believed that when it ia
constructed through the Goodson district
other district will take it up and extend
1t to Abingdon. The city of Bristol has
has agreed to bear part of the expense
on this road.

HOLLAND AND FERTILIZERS.

Beating the Dutch has long been con.
sidered a strenuous feat. In the realm
OF agriculture, no less than elsewhere.
Holland has stood out rs a world ex.
ample in making the most of her oppor-
tunites. Her fields practically support
population of 400 inhabitants to the
square mile, more than ten times the
density of the population of the United
States.
Cattle raising, with all that this i'm
plies, has often been cited as one of the
prime causes of Hollands agricultural
supremacy. Fertility of the land fol-
lows stock farming as spring verdure
follows April showers.
Agricultural experts have always held
that with an abundance of cattle ma
nure, any farm could be independent of
commercial fertilizers. In the cotton
producing countries, this has hitherto
been purely an academic question, be-
cause we have never raised cattle
enough, and have fallen back on COM
mercial fertilizers as sort of necessary
evil.
The surprise of the year comes in the
announcement that Holland is now 90
ing In for the use of commercial fertil-
izers, not as a makeshift or substitute
but as proper supplement- to her own
natural fertilizers. She thus pays a
high tribute to the knowledge and ekill
Of the Worlds agricultural chemists.
who have developed the present highly
valuable methods of building the So
called artificial fertilizers from the min
eral resources of the earth. Hollands
new departure in methods Of fertilizing
Is announced in a recent number of the
Consular Reports, as follows:
Fertilizers are now used extern
sively in this district. Stable ma
nure was used at first, but in the
present intensive farming chemical
products are chiefly employed.
Their use has caused a remarkable
transformation in Dutch agriculture.
Land which once produced sparsely
now yield abundant crops. Chemi-
Gals for fertilizing purposes are
imported, but superphosphate fac
tory has been established in Am
sterdam which supplies much of the
demand.
"a feature of the intensive agri-
culture is the multiplication of
small dairy farms which by their
ready consumption of grain, and
fodder are valuable customers of
other farmers. The increase of
vegetable products is another re-
suit of intensive farming. These
are found to be especially profitable
in sandy soil, some of which with
scientific fertilization, would be al
most worthless. Larger farms are
stll practicable, mainly In the clay

Professor Hacker, of Nebraska, sale
at the recent session of the farmers
national congress: cit does not sneaL
much to our credit when we deducs
from statistics the fact that the aver.
age COW is a poor specimen as an eco.
nomical producer of milk" The aver.
age, as has been wisely said, is DOOR
not only in cows but in yield of grain
production. Of fruit, and even the work
Of man. However, if we do not raise
the average work, we are not progress
ing. We believe the lack of improve.
ment is to great measure due to the
lack of taking up the findings of our
investigators and good farmers. It is
the single lack Of applying the axioms
and truths which have been known for
a long time. Our transportation would
would be in a sad way if we still per-
sisted in using the stage instead of the
train or if we write letters instead of
applying the telegraph. We must ad-
NIT, though it is hard to do 80, that our
people as class have been very slow

practices, which have been demonstra-
ed as sound and profitable.
