THE MODERN WAY.


Here is the story OF the success of
two young men who went from the
sity to North Dakota. Each had about
t15, GOO OF which $4,000 was put into
machinery. This provided them with
two powerful traction engines, and the
necessary equipment of farming ma.
shinery. Operations were begun with
breaking the raw land in March, 1911
by November of the same year tho
young city farmers had marketed
$50, 600 worth Of flax-seed which was
hauled 40 miles to the nearest railroad
station. The entire undertaking was
managed on modern lines: A days
blowing with each engine was esti-
mated at rs acres but when the crew
by saving time turned 80 acres in one
day. they were given bonus OF IS.
Ihereupon 10 acres per day became the
usual thing. The same broad gauge,
liberal policy charactered the whole
undertaking. The most competent men
obtainable were hired and we'll paid {;
the aim being to do the largest amount
OF work that could be done we'll,
in day, and pay accordingly. Neither
OF these young men had ever raised
any flax. but they went to the agrlcul-
tural station and thoroughly posted
themselves
This was a success which could not
have been obtained with mere ability,
willingness and pair of hands; it
required capital, yet it was brain and
Initiative that won; for not only was
the crop itself highly profitable, but the
land advanced in value that one season
more than the entire expenditure for
machinery.
In these days the really successful
iarmer must possess brains and ma
ehlnery. III. H. Windsor in the
March Popular Mechanics Magazine.

Railroad Changes.

George P. Johnson, general superin.
tendent of the western division of the
Norfolk and Western Railroad, at Blue
field, has resigned to accept the receiv-
ership of the Detroit, Toledo and Iron
ton Railroad, with headquarters at
Detroit, Mich This is fitting tribute
to his well known ability as q railroad
man, he being among the best East of
the Mississippi River.
Many speculations has been had as to
who will succeed him and as our guess
is as good as another, the Republican
will venture the opinion that, as the
double tracking is now complete on the
western division, the position will be
abolished, and the jurisdiction of A. c..
Needles, general superintendent of the
eastern division at Roanoke, will be ex-
tended over the entire syetem.

lines up the various tributaries of Clinch
river to develop the coal properties of
the Clinch field, which now rivals the
famous Pocahontas field in the excel
lency of the quality of the coal pro-
duced.
The pioneers in the development of
the field found primitive conditions ex-
ist;ng up the hollows as they pushed
their surveys to the mines. The first
branch line built was up Big Creek,
leaving the main line at the new town
of Richlands. The picture above shows
