in advocating the advantage, as we'll
as the necessity of change from a
one-crop system. Rather it has been
the desire to show the fallacy Of a
one-crop system and the advantages
to be gained by the methods and re-
turns Of the preachers plans-the
men hired by the state, and others,
acknowledged authorities. Publicity
has been required, and has been freely
given by the press, not at all as their
individual advice-printers are not
farmers-but as the advice, or
preaching" if you please, of those
who KNOW.
The farmers are not claimed to be
any more fit subjects for BOBBY prizes
in their vocation than followers Of any
other business, but they can improve
by instruction from those fitted to in
struct just as can any of us and it is
more important they should since they
are simply the sum total in the pros
perity column of an agricultural state,
and the more prosperous they are, the
more so is the entire commonwealth.
This being granted it becomes a poign-
ant necessity to encourage all possible
improvement by accepting the advice
Of experts specially fitted to advise
and instruct. We can all learn, be our
business what it may, and when we
have chance, at least listen to it and
not allow someone to butt in with a
preaching att sentiment to make
light Of, and belittle, the influence of
worthy movement. The "preaching"
of these men has been good stuff-let
us have more Of it.

Over $1,000 net profit is the result
of Geo. Crozier's operations on 280-
acre farm near Niagara, which he had
in potatoes this year. He obtained
some 10000 bushels of spuds and sold
the output at 40 cents a bushel, and
these, with the other products of his
land, resulted in the big cleanup. He
had only so acres in murphies.
A farmer at Fordville did his own
threshing alone this year. He had a
threshing rig of his own, and would
haul two loads of bundles to the ma

and when he had two grain tanks full
of grain he would shut down and haul
them to market. In this way he thresh-
ed his whole crop and had no trouble
with the help problem.

Wnmen AduRt Resolutions.

Richmond, Va, March THE fol-
lowing resolutions in regard to the
insults offered the women marchers
in the parade have been adopted by
the Virginia women:
Inasmuch as the women suttraglsts
of America, after having been prom
ised the protection Of the police OF
Washington and the right OF way
along the route selected for their pa
geant through the streets of Wash
ington on March 3, 1913, were accord
ed neither of these rights, the police
being apparently inactive in prevent
ing or arresting disorder,
Re it resolved, That the Virginia
women and men who represented the
EQUAL Suffrage League of Virginia
in this procession do most earnestly
protest against this injustice, and de-
sire. that the senator's and represen-
tatives from Virginia, as members of
the body which governs the munich
nal affairs of Washington, shall take
such steps as may be necessary to IN
stitute and to further an investigation
by Congress of this occurrence;
Resolve further, that they request
that the results of this investigation
be made public.
-(Signed) 5Irs. John H. Lewis, vice
president, Equal Suffrage League of
Virginia; Mary Johnston, vice-pres-
ident; Sophie G.Meredith, vice
president; Kate Langley Bosher.
vice president. Pauline Forstall Ad-
ans, vice-president; Jane Fitzhugh,
president Fredericksburg League.
These resolutions will be signed by
the other fifty members of the Vir-
ginia delegation.

President will Impose Great
er Responsibilities Upon
Heads.
MANY .SPECULATIONS.
National Democratic Chairman Nc
Combs May be Offered Position of
Minister to France

Washington, March 7.-President
Wilson will no. pick his diplomatic
appointees until he has gone over the
entire list of "possibilities" with Sec
retary of State Bryan. Such a move
in is keeping with his policy of giving
heads of executive departments great
er responsibility and leaving with
them the task of sorting out the
proper persons for places under their
control. Both the executive and the
secretary of state have so far been
20 busy on the routine of their re-
spective jobs that they have not yet
had time to talk over the matter.
The first appointment is expected to
be that of an ambassador to Great
Britain to succeed the late Whitelaw
Reid, that post being vacant. The
President has already announced that
he has offered principal European
post" to National Democratic Chair
man VIM. F. McCombs, and the un-
derstanding is that it was France.
McCombs' acceptance or declina:ion
is expected within day or TWO. His
friends believe he will accept.
Washington is full of reports that
certain men are slated for certain
places but it is believed there is little
foundation for any definite state
of this character. 1t is learned
that several men whose names have
been mentioned as probably appoint
ees TO Great Britain are not under
by the President and
Secretary Bryan. Among them are
Charles w. Eliot, of Harvard, VIM.
Church Osborne, of New York, JUS
ticc J. w. Gerard, of New York,
Thomas Nelson Page, of Washington,
Frederick C. Penfield, Of Philadelphia,
and David r. Francis, ex-governor OF
Missouri.
1t is understood that Richard Olney,
of Massachusetts, who has also been
prominently reported as probable
ambassador to Great Britain, is likely
not to get that post. Some of the!
men in this list, who it is believed
can be positively eliminated as far
as The court of St. James is concern
ed ARE expected to be sent to otheri
posts of less magnitude.

ployed in the capacity of trolleyman
for the railroad company and in the
night time was crossing the highway
bridge, he sustained the injuries which
neces:itated the amputation Of his
foot.
The plaintiff was represented by
Attorneys Leo P.Harlaw and Edmund

THE MEN HIGHER UP.
Senator Poindcxter Alleges He Heard

Washington, March 7.-Afer the
"men higher up" whom witnesses have
charged were responsible for the lax
discipline among policemen and the
bluecoats' inactivity in protecting
suffrage marchers in the big pagean:
last Monday, the Senate Investigating
committee today summoned Major
Richard Sylvester, chef of the Wash

row.
Senator Poindexter, of Washington,
who was an eyewitness to scenes Of
disorder and heard rowdies insult
women paraders without any action
by certain patrolmen, declared his be-
lief today that there "was an under
standing among the individual men,
bers of the force thar they would be
protected by the higher authorities OF
the police department"
Senator Jones, chairman of the in
vestigating committee, said he was
convinced from the evidence so far
that the congressional resolution pro-
viding for police protection to para

manner"

care to testify before the committee,
today filed affidavits charging the po-
lice with "wiful neglect of duty
