QUANTITY OF WATER

How many farmers have ever
thought of the quantity of water
that falls on their farms every
year, or what becomes of it after
it falls? For instance, the annual
rainfall in the Southern Atlantic
States is given as from 45 to SIS
inches. Put this at a fair aver
age, so inches. That is, a column
OF water one inch thick
cubic inch), 4 feet and z inches
high, falls on every inch of land,
say, in this county during the
year. How much water is this
per acre of land? The quantity
is astonishing. 1t is over $3.50
tons. Think of it-more than
five thousand six hundred tons
Of water falls on each acre of
land in this section, each year.
How much time would it take to
haul this water with a good
team, distance of one-half
mile? The body of all plants is
composed largely of water.
Without water the plant cannot
do well. 1t will die. This i'm
mense quantity of water does
not always come at the time it

JUST PUNISHMENT

Julian Hawthorne, son of
Nathaniel Hawthorne, the fam
Gus author, and himself an
author; DR.. VIM. J. Morton, son
of the famous discoverer and
first user of ether in surgical
operations, and Albert Freeman,
a prominent business man, were
each sentenced to terms in the
penitentiary last week, after a
trial lasting over four months.
The charge against Il EN- was
using the mails for fraudulent
purposes. These men exploited
a Canadian ore mine proposition,
and charge was brought against
them by the government. They
are said to have collected over
5000, 100000. Hawthorne and
Morton were given each one
year and a day, and Freeman
was given five years, in the
Federal prison in Atlanta.
Each of these men had much
to lose. Behind them was a long
line of more or less distinguished
ancestry, of high standing in So
ciety. Truly, it has been a long
time ago written down, THE
love of money is root of all
evil".

STUART OF THE FOUNTAINS

1t is almost an axiom that the
scarped, peaked habitations of
the earth have been the cradles
of history. In the mountains Lot
entertained angels. On q noun
tain Moses received the tables
of the law and, when his work
was done, repaired thither to
die. On mountain the dove
went forth from the ark to re-
turn no more. The craggy soil
tudes of Palestine heard the
prayers of Christ. Wolfe fell on
the heights of Abraham and
the currents of civilization were
changed. The cornerstone of the
Capitol was quarried from
Kings mountain. From little
rock walled Montenegro issued
the spirit that recently swept
1.-THE hordes of Turkish Islam"
across the European border.
Upon the high places poets have
found their affairs, leaders OF
thought have caught inspired
visions, and imperial men OF
action have been infused with
the iron that made them intrepid.
Burns sang among the heather
purpled highlands; and in the
shaded walks of Monticello
Jefferson evolved and gave form
to principles of civil equality
and justice that have spiked un.
lversal government with the
leaven Of democracy.
There is, then, no occasion for
wonder that the next Governor
of Virginia is a mountaincerl
But he is a mountain Cavalier,
this farmer-statesman who has
taught the bluegrass spears tc
mate with the sun on the
plateaus of the southwestern
mountains. He has just enough
of the plebian in him to make
him a redblooded aristocrat.
The true Southern aristocrat
is always gentleman anC
never a fool. Poor men and BOYS
are ever at ease in his company.
Before he was q candidate fol
any office, we have seen ON
friend, the next governor, walk
down the main street of Taze-
well and, between - pvsuoffice
and the courU-house, shake hands
with half dozen working men,
calling each by name. And these
men were glad to see him; for
in the hearty clasp of his hand
was communicated the sym
pathetic fellowship of one who
is rs humanity catholic and gen
timely democratic by nature as

he is thoroughbred in blood. Very
wealthy, yet he is recognized by
those who toll as living en-
bodiment of the spirit of the
sweet cottage philosophy of the
Scotch poet:
"a man may have an honest
heart
Though poortith hourly stare
him,
A man may take q neighbours
part,
Yet have no cash to spare him. "
No danger, then, that under
the next State administration
the doors of "the little White
House" will be closed in the
face of honest toll! No danger
that silk hat will forget corduroy
cap and stained overallsl
And yet, no one in these
mountains holds him cheaply.
His personality is commanding,
dominating. Under the feeling
IF mutual interest and good
fellowship, the man with the
hoe, the farmer neighbor, the
successful business man, each
is conscious that he is face to
race with one in whose veins
,dows the same blood that famed
lnder a plumed and festooncd
nat at charlottesville, and that
stained the grass at Yellow
Tavern while the voice Of the
lndaunted cavalryman was yet
lifted shouting a battle cry!
Such is his blood. We OF the
mountains have claimed him,
but he belongs to Virginia. The
boulevards OF Richmond are
calling him. We believe he will
be one of the greatest governors
Virginia has had since the war.
He has the courage of Fitz Lee
the honesty of Hoge Tyler, the
polish of Montague, and the
energy of Swanson; and he is as
capable as any one Of these
There is about him a rugged big
ness rs of the hills that gfees
him unique distinction among
Virginians Of this generation.
He is the product of an environ
ment in which the clouds stoor
from heaven to cap the crags
and eagles answer each other
across the Valleys

WHY

The papers announce that Mr..
J: Thompson Brown will oppose
Mr.. Koiner for Commissioner of
Agriculture. Why? Does MI.
Brown believe he can do the
work better than Mr.. Koiner
has done or is doing it, or is he
simply hungry for office? Mr..
Koiner has made good. He has
brought the Department of
Agriculture to the people. Until
he took charge only a few people
in the State knew that there
existed such an institution as
the Agricultural Department,
and there is no reason on earth
so far as we can see why he
should be displaced, or a shadow
of reason for believing that Mr..
Brown could do the work better.
or even as well as Mr.. Koiner is
doing it.

it not for the criminals that

Mcdowell Recorder.
West Virginia is no doubt a
great State, with a great and
liberty loving law abiding
population, and Mcdowell county
much more so. History proves
this to be true, as everybody
knows. Attention is called to the
fact, in this connection, that
this bumptious mountain county
has gone outside her own border
for other than her criminal
classes. The history of her
development and growth shows
that foreigners" were the
leaders and are still. Why not
be fair? Where did the men
come from who have made Me
Dowell county? Come to think
Of it we believe1 Governor
Hatfield is a native Of another
county. Quite a number of peo-
pie seem to have been imported
into Mcdowell besides criminals.

is needed, but at different times
sometimes too much some
times too little. What becomes
of it? Some of it is soaked into
the soil, some runs off into the
creeks and is wasted some
stands on the ground and evap-
crates. Can it be stored up and
saved for the use of the crops?
OF course it can. Saving and
storing water is called conserv-
ing moisture. How? Deep plow-
ing in the winter makes bitches
-cisterns under the ground to
catch and hold water. Prevent
loss by evaporation by proper
cultivation.
These things are briefly stated
in outline. presuming that the
reader is already familiar with
them.
If this five thousand tons of
water falling on each acre of
your land should be suddenly
changed into molasses what
would you do? Get every bucket,
barrel, hogshead, every and any
old thing, and catch all you
could and store it up until the
next buckwheat crop was made.
This water is worth a great deal
more than molasses. 1t is aeri-
cultures capital. Conserve it
invest it. - Clinch Valley News.
The above clipping has been
sent to us for comment. We find
the calculation to be correct.
Very few people fully appreciate
the amount of water actully used
in the growing crops. Mont
gomery shows by careful ex-
pertinent that from fourteen 10
twenty tons OF water is required
for one bushel of corn. From
seven to ten inches of water
would actually have to be used
by the corn plant to make a yield
of fifty bushels per acre. This
does not mean rainfall, but only
the water required to produce
the crop. Variations in water
supply seem to be the big factor
in controlling the crop yield.
Prof. Hunt, of Illinois, for two
successive years grew corn on
the same land. The summer
rainfall for two years, varied
nine and one half inches. The
yield varied siXty-tWo bushels
per acre.
We do not believe that the
moisture problem can be too
strongly emphasized. Careful
tlllage is one way, but by far
the most important thing in
making the soil store up and
hold the water, is to ill the soil
with vegetable matter. The nom
productiveness Of Southern soils
where they are non-productive,
is in almost all instances due to
lack of vegetable matter and
lack of ability to hold moisture.
Despite the fact that the South
is a region especially adapted for
producing more vegetable mat
ter than any other section of the
country. Bare fields mean poor
farms, because the same climate
that makes easy the production
of vegetable matter also makes
rapid oxidation. So if the advan-
tage is not appreciated it be-
comes a disadvantage.
