MORE HOMEGROWN HAY

1t is agreed on all sides that more
hay must be grown. Tazewell and
some other counties in this famous
grass country, imports from other
states large quantities of hay every
year. This is simply ridiculous.
There is, perhaps, some little sh ow
of excuse in. the case of corn, carloads
of which is brought here every year,
but in the case of hay there is no ex
cuse. Tazewell should make more
than enough for home supply.
The agricultural writer's all advise
that narrowing meadows at the right
time and a top dressing with stable
manure or commercial fertilizer if
manure is not obtainable, will almost
double the YIELD. of grass per acre.
The land Is entitled to some return
from each ton of yield, and rebels and
refuses to "come across" as we saw.
unlss it gets its due. Land cannot be
robbed with impunity. AS has been
frequently suggested in this paper, let
the farmer follow the advice and ex-
ample of the best and most successful
growers of hay in the treatment of
their meadows.

Among the contracts let and upon
which work is promised to begin
soon. no mention is made, so far as
we have seen, of the road out of town
to the Clear Fork district line, near
Grafton. This Clear Fork road, as
we have always contended,i is as badly
needed, or worse, than any Other
piece of road in the county. The re-
cent injunction against building the
road down and along the Clinch, was
gotten up because, chiefly, this Clear
Fork and some other pieces of road
were more important and more needed
at once. This piece of road referred

Buchanan county has the smallest

out of one hundred counties in the
State have more nergoes than white
people. 1t is interesting, and perhaps
surprising, too, to note, as stated by
the Roanoke Times, that in seventeen
counties of the State the colored
farm owners outnum Der the white
farm owners. In eleven other counties
the farms owned by white and colored
are about equal. This does not mean
that the farms owned by nergoes and
white people are equal in acreage.
Most of the negroes own but small
patches of ground. The trouble seems
to be that neither the white nor COL
ored people of that section know how
to farm, or at least they are not
doing so profitably. 1t Is stated that
the yield of the chief crop, corn, is
nineteen bushels per acre. No land
anywhere is easier to cultivate or
more easily improved, if only the
people knew how and were will ing to

If you are subject to constipa-
ton, you should avoid strong
drugs and cathartics. They only
give Temporary relief and their
reaction is harmful and some
times more annoying than con-
stipation. They in no way effect
a cure and their tendency is to
weaken the already weak organs
with which they come in contact.
We honestly believe that we
have the best constipation treat
ment ever devised. Our faith in
1t is so strong that we sell it on
the positive guarantee that it shall
not cost the user cent if it does
not give entire satisfaction and
completely remedy constipation.

OrdsIlies. These are prompt,
soothing, and most effective in
action. They are made of recent
chemical discovery. Their prin-
cipal ingredient is odorless, taste
less, and colorless. Combined

patton, it forms tablet which is

be taken at any time, either day

Doctor of Agriculture.

The time is coming when every
ural community of sufficient size will
have one or more agricultural experts
men professionally trained TO serve
in an advisory way all the farmers Of
the community for fee.
These men will understand the
chemistry of the soil and plant
growth; their laboratories will be
busy with soil analysis and the study
of local plant diseases; they will be
entomologists and bacteriologists, and
their value will be obvious to the en-
ightened farmers of a new age.
These farmers, no longer content to
depend on the free clinic Of the state
experiment station, will seek the ad-
vice and prescription of the local doc
tor of agriculture. The dignity and
the rewards of this profession are
ound to increase, for it is founded up
n the basis of our greatest industry.

several hundred such restaurants. AT
railway stations automats sell choco.

even a little kit of first aid to the in.
