Commissioner k0iner Issues
New Bulletin

The State Department Of Agriculture
is now sending out the June Monthly
Bulletin. This issue goes to about
60, 900 farmers, who are scattered In
every one of the one hundred counties
in this State. The Monthly Bulletins
are fresh and practical for the season
In which they are issued. The June
Bulletin contains very practical and
instructive article on Why We Guilt
vate The Soil. Many people think
the soil is cultivated simply to kill
the weeds, but this Bulletin shows
there are more important reasons
than to kill the weeds. 1t says the
soil is cultivat to loosen it. 1t let the
air in, that the plant roots Feed air,
as well as man. The loose soil also
l,is In heat to warm up the soil and
hasten plant growth, and cultivation
loosens the soil to allow the tiny
roots to push out in their growth and
lastly the cultivation is to kill the
weeds. The article fully explains the
importance OF these important results
that are obtained through cultivation
of the crops.
Another interesting article explains
fully where the fertilizer materials are
gotten that 60 to make up the fertiliz-
ers that the farmers buy, and the part
the different fertilizer ingredients take
In the growth of plants. Another
article discusses the Importance of
raising more live stock in Virginia.
Commissioner Koiner urges our
farmers to save their crimson clover
seed. He mentions one farmer in
Amelia county who sold Sl1O0. 90 worth
Of crimson clover seed from his farm
last year. This man is newcomer
from Illinois. The Bulletin contains
other interesting articles, also .
large number of analyses of the diff
ferent of brands fertilizers and grass
seeds sold in this State.
In Bulletin No. Ga, issued In April,
the saving OF the COW pea seed was
urged and also . valuable article
furnished on How to Grow More Hay
and Grass in Virginia.
In Bulletin No. Is, issued In May.
the leading article discussed the value
OF the silo and furnished statements
from many farmers praising It's use.
These Bulletins are sent free to all
Virginia farmers upon application to
Commissioner Koiner at Richmond
and sh ould be read by every farmer
in the State.

Theodore Roosevelt
Bolts G. 0. P

Chicago, June 20.-1 a. m.-All
Roosevelt delegates will hold rumr
convention in Orchestra hall at 1870
this morning.
Roosevelt members of the creden-
tials committee, acting under the
specific orders of Colonel Roosevelt,
broke out of the committee room at
1890 o'clock tonight after attempting
to beat open the doors aud bring all
newspaper men into the room.
This action followed the ratification
by the committee of The rules under
which the National Committee threw
$50 odd delegates, claimed by Roose-
welt, through the skylights.
The vote on this proposition
was 30 to IS. Following the announce
ment of tn e vote the Roosevelt men
demanded that the doors be opened
to newspaper men.
The doors of the COMMITTEES room
we're sudde My thrown open by J. j..
Sullivan, .of Ohio, who rushed out
with cry, GAN Roosevelt men walk
out" He was followed by Hugh T.
Halbert, of Minnesota; Frank j.
Heney, of California; George l..
Record, of New Jersey, and other
Roosevelt men. AS they pushed open
the swinging doors after Sullivan,
they cried out the newspaper men:
"All newspaper men come inside
and see what they are trying to do to
u.s."
Colonel Player, assistant sergeat
alarms, shouted to doorkeeper to I'd
NIT no one. The Roosevelt forces
shouted again for every one to come.
Mr.. Player called for policemen, who
pushed their way through and KEEP
the crowd away.

ROOT ELECTED CHAIRMAN

Senator Root was elected tenn
porary chairman of the Republi-
can National Convention, receiv-
ing a majority of Sc votes oyer
Gov. McGovern. of Wisconsin.
The vote means neither the
nomination of Taft on the first
ballot nor the defeat of Roosevelt.
It showed that the President
will have more strength than the
Colonel on the first ballot. The
third-termer made inroads upon
the Presidents support in the
South, and if given the oppor-
tunity. Maryland, Illinois, Ore
gon and other, states may divide
ia favor of Taft.
1t is believed the La Toilette
and Cumnins votes will never be
given either to Taft or Roosevelt.
The contest over the delegates
seated by the National Commit
tee was spectacular, but caused
no violence.
Governor Hadley, of Missouri,
moved to take from the temper
arp roll the Taft delegates and
substitute the Roosevelt delega-
ties in certain contested States.
Chairman Rosewater, after the
question was debated, ruled that il
was not within the province of this
unorganized gathering to consider
credentials and that no credentials, in
fact, we're before it, and that the mo.
ton was out of order.
The motion was renewed just before
the convention adjourned at IA;
O'Clock, and will be the unfinished
business when she convention meets
again today at II o'clock. An ever
more bitter fight is expected today
Justice Charles E. Hughes made /,
plain that his decision not to permit
the use of his name before the Re-
publican National Convention was
final.
Samuel G. Beythe declares in his
article that it seems certain there will
be bolt, two conventions and two
nominations.
Chairman Root. in his ''keypote'
speech, lauded the Taft administra'
ton, mentioned Roosevelt twice,
praised the Colonel's work as Presi
dent, but scored some of his policies
Estimates by TAFT partisans late
last night placed the real Taft ma
jority in the convention at between
six and ten.

Theodore Roosevelt assumed
the authority to name the cand1'
date without regard to the senti-
ments of the convention. If they
nominate him, he will be candi-
date; if they do not, he will be
a candidate, all the same.

Hon. K. E. Byrd, out Of Politics

Hon. Richard Evelyn Byrd has
determined to retire from politics
and devote himself entirely to his
profession. His qualities as a
legislator attracted immediate
attention and he was made speak
er of the House of Delegates for
three terms. He is the author OF
a number of important laws, and
was instrumental in defeating
some proposed legislation which
would have be en- hostile to the
interests of the commonwealth
His retirement from public lie
is to be regretted and his man,
friends will be glad to learn Of
his increased success in his pro
feSsion.

ROOSEYELT'S PLATFORM
No Mention of Taft--AIso Omit
Recall of Judges.

Chicago, June lin the draft
of the platform which Colonel
Roosevelt brought to Chicago
there is said to be no paragraph
embodying his views upon the
recall of judicial decisions. This
doubtless will strike many ,peoplet
as remarka BILE, in view of the Wig
or with which the colonel an
nounced the doctrine, but is ex-
planned on the ground that some
Republicans have advised agains
the incorporation of plank and
that he has acquiesced.
Neither does the draft contain
an Endorsement of the Admins
ration of President Taft. At the
same time there is no language
condemnatory Of the Taft Ad-
ministration, it having been the
purpose to eliminate all reference
favorable or unfavorable to the
Taft Administration.
The plank upon which the
mostrhe critical utterances have
been lavished is that which con-
tains the colonel's repeated de-
claration that the people and not
the bosses shall rule.
The Roosevelt platform, it is
said, declares in favor of the pro-
tective tariff principle, but with
radical difference from the
tariff plank of the Republican
platform four years ago. In 1908
the Republican platform declar-
ed for sucn a degree of protection
as would give the American
Manufacturer a reasonable profit
besides making up the differences
in cost of production. The Roose-
welt plank will omit the reason
able profit to American Manufac-
turers, On the theory that the
difference in the cost of produc-
ton is sufficient.
One of the most Important
features of the Roosevelt plat
form is that relating to big
business" The plan which GER
tain conspicuous business men
have been advocating recently,
that, creating trade commission
which will bear somewhat
similar relation to interstate cor
porations as the Commerce Com
mission does to railroads, has
been approved in substance. |
This plan does not go so far as
Government regulation of prices. |
There will also be a declara-
ton in favor of monetary reform |
Of the general character worked !
put by the Aldrich commission, |
with some important changes.
There is also expected to be a
declaration in favor of parcels
post.
In conformity with the recent
of the former Presi-
dent it is also proposed to amend
The Sherman antitrust law in
such way as to facilitate the
operations of big business, sol
ong as it is conducted in a nom
nonopolistic way, and this fea-
!ure Of the platform doubtless
will Be conjnnctive with the|
plank relating to the Federal /
ecntpol y corporations.

Roosevelt's Mass Meeting

Chicago, June 20.-1 q. -Theo-
dore Roosevelt will bolt the Republi-
can National Convention. This was
the sentiment of q turbulent mass
meeting of the Roosevelt delegates
held at midnight after the receipt of
information that the credentials COM
mittee would not receive evidence in
contrasting cases.
The mass meeting followed a.stormy
session of the Roosevelt leaders held
earlier In the evening. There were
present "Bill" Finn, Senator Dixon,
the Roosevelt campaign manager, and
Governor Hadley OF Missouri.
Every leader present was sent out
at top speed to call together the mem.
bers of his delegation. Megsphone
announcements we're made. Messen-
gers were dispatched in every direc-
ton. In ten minutes every Roosevelt
delegate in or near the Congress hotel
was in the Forentine room. The
meeting was called to order at II
O'Clock by Finn.
Gentleman, 81 OF "a OF the Penn.
sylvania delegation have voted to
leave this convention. We spent two
hours discussing the proposition.
They say their duty is more important
that any they may have in November.
You delegates have witnessed the ac-
ton of the National committee.
"If this thing is to.continue we might
as we'll quit holding National conven-
tons and turn it over to Penrose,
Murphy and big Steve" and the rest
of their kind. 1t is bad enough to
have to fight them in every state and
every iDsular possessions, but it is
worse to have to 60 up against a
bunch like this.''
E. G. Darlington, Jr., the member
of the credentials committee from
Maryland interrupted.
81 just left the credentials COM
mittee. l told them l was ashamed to
stay there.
"Who was the chairman" shouted
a voice.
"Devine.
The name was greeted with Kisses.
They wouldn't let US have stenog-
raphers or publicity. They put the
gag rule on US at once" said Car
rington.
Finn then said, 81 belive we
should have gone out of the conven.
lion the moment they elected Root"
NOW gentleman, 1 should like to
ask you to come back later. Can you
do SOP"
"You bet we cam" yelled all.
"very we'll gentleman. 1t is now
11:30. Suppose you come back here
at 1890. l have certain things to
look up. want to lay them before
YOU"
Roosevelt jumped from the platform
and was hurried to q side door by the
police. He Immediately entered his
headquarters and went into confer.
ence.
