Bon Air. Va, June 21-In its sum-

this good summer. There is a good
deal of talk about the new Bon Air

stunts in the way of making the viii

concerning the street car line which
now consists of track from the cen

which runs no electric cars or gaso-
lene cars or any other kind, and just
why the company Is letting the iron

and banks would have their share.
So these business men were asked
to lend their credit and thus
secure the banks. suppose each OF
ten business men became responsible
for $3.50 at the bank. The bank then
loans $500 with which to buy COWS,
which are sold to the farmers on rea-
sonable time. In brief, this is the
Ashland plan of obtaining farm loans
with the money thus obtained, good
Judges OF cattle went to the dairy dis
tricts in Southern wisconsin ano
bought good grade cows These were
shipped to Ashland and sold at actual
cost to the farmers When a man
bought n COW he signed a note for
the amount, and also n contract which
binds him to sell the milk or cream
At the local creamery. Each month
half the cream check goes to the
farmer and the other half to the bank,
to be applied on the price OF the COW.
In this way the farmer slowly pays
off his debt. and in the end will own
good nerd OF cattle
The bank is doubly protected--in the
cream returns and the credit of the
business men. The latter find their
trade increased through the money
brought into town by these COWS.
Not New In Virginia.
This is the skeleton OF a plan which
has great possibilities in many other
places, especially in old Virginia
The ashland Plan" is being much
talked about in Virginia just now as
II 1t were really something now. As
a matter of fact the plan was being
worked out in certain parts of Vir-
ginia before Ashland. Wis, was ever
heard Of by Virginians. II I mistake

than two years ago the story of how
George NJ. Robson made the Farmville
Creamery success by the adoption of
Just that method. which was original
with him. as far as he knew, and Robe
the method or plan either. He simply
got the Farmville banks to back him
in buying good mich cows In carload
lots to be sold to farmers around Farm
Vile on credit. and on the condition
that they would feed the cows we'll
and sell the milk and the cream to
the Farmvlle Creamery. The result
is the farmers of sections of Prince
edward and Cumberland Counties con-
tiguous to Farmvillc are now large
cattle owners, and the Farmville
Creamery Is a business success. The
so-called Ashland Plan" is not new
in Virginia, but there Is great room
for it's growth and more general appli-
cation. Let the banks take due notice
and act and govern themselves accord
ingly. and If they want any more de-
tailed information, am sure G.. NJ.

GREAT PROFITS IN
VIRGINIA CATTLE
Keep the Calves and Let Them
Grow Into Big Profit
Dimensions.
[Special 10 INC Times-Dispatch.l

Especial to The Times Dispatch.1
Washington. June 21.-That cattle
raisers of the South. especially in vir-
GINA. are losing thousands of dollars
annually by short-sighted policy re-
garding the wholesale shipping of
their female cattle TO other States. has
been emphasized by experts in the
Bureau OF Animal Industry. Depart
ment of Agriculture.
When The Times Dispatch CORE
spondent asked what was being done
with reference to the enlargement of
this field of industry in the South, this
statement was made:
The South is especially adapted to
raising cattle. because OF the long
grazing season. the enormous areas of
cheap land, much of which is now lying
idle. the great variety OF pasture
grasses and legumes which grow lux
'uriantly on all soils, and because Of
the mild winters.
IF the Western ranchman can af-
ford to pay Southern farmers good
prices for COWS. pay the high freight
rates to the West, stand the losses
which naturally occur during shipping
thin cattle such long distances; also
bear the losses due to change of eli
matte conditions. and then make money
on them, why cannot the Southern
farmer, who already owns the cattle,
as well as the grazing lands, and who
needs the manure upon the soils, keep
this stock on the farm and secure the
increased profits? He can if he will
free his cattle of ticks. increase the
efficiency of his pastures by planting
mixtures of lcspedcZa, bur clover. white
clover or perhaps melilotus, alsike
clover, and red top over his pasture
lands, and by raising more hays and
forage crops for wintering his stock
and finishing them for market The
surplus cattle can then be fattened by
feeding cottonSeed cake on grass. or
grazing fields of velvet beans, while
feeding some concentrate; or they can
be finished in the dry lot during the
winter months. For winter feeding, no
rouGhage has proven more valuable
than silage, as the addition of 1t to a
feeding ration Invariably increases the
size of the daily gains and reduces the
cost thereby making greater profits.
The quality and the quantity of silage
which can be produced on some of these
cheap lands cannot be surpassed by
the high priced lands of the corn belt.
whereas the cost of producing 1t is far
less because of the cheap labor.
THE farmers OF the South are there
fore urged to discontinue this whole
sale shipping of their female cattle
to other States. to free the pastures of
the cattle tick. and to increase the
number and quality of their cattle by
the use of pure-bred beef bulls. The
progeny will not only grow faster and
he far more profitable to raise and to
feed than are the natives The soils
Will be increased in fertility by the

ing the peace and dignity of the mu-
nicipality of Ardmore in addressiaS
to each other loud boisterous, un-

guage upon the public streets. Bully"
has been out of Ardmore for several

station have been decidedly quiet aud
this and believing that things here
needed a livening up, Bully" return
ed to the city of the southwest yes
terday afternoon and proceeded at

becca shortly following her arrival
and, at the same time and place,
Rebecca met her. Each had a griey-
ance, the one against the other. No
sooner met than things started.
Bully" called Beckie a name and
Beckie retallated by calling Bully"
the same. Then a war OF words in

the name of the diety was fractured

place with the result that both Beckie
and "Bully" were hailed into court
by large and overgrown police
man. When Mayor Roberts heard the

-OWNED MINES.
Will Furnish All State Institutions
E. Their Fuel Supply.

Oklahoma City, May 21.-All the
coal needed for state institutions
after July /, 1915. will be taken
from state owned mines and the
price will be the actual cost of min
ing, under the terms of the Whitman
Hill bill approved by Governor Cruce
Wednesday.
A forty acre tract of land on which
mines already have been opened, and
which is located within the peniten-
tiary farm boundaries, will be cor
demned, together with the mining
machinery now in use on it. w. B.
Riley and Thomas Harries own the
property now, and their interests
will be condemned from the $4,000
appropriation carried by the bill.
Each state school and other in
stitutions will make contracts with
the STATE board Of public affairs for
it's coal supply annually and the
legislature will include the necessary
amount in the maintenance appropri-
alton for each. The board OF af-
fairs then will conduct the mining
operations, together with the board
of prison control, ana collect the
cost price from each institution re-
ceiving coal
If the bill accomplishes the pur-
rose for which it was intended, its
authors say, 1t will very materially
reduce the cost of fuel to the state.
Charges of eXtravagant use of coal
and purchases of excessive quanti-
ties, were made before the legisla-
ture, but no investigation made that
was productive OF results.
