w. Column

Il don't know when anything
staggered me more than to see
announced that 1,1G0 persons
were arrested by our police. Our
population, say in round num-
bers, is $4,000, so you see that
every seven and a half persons
of our citizenship was arrested.
An awful statement is that. 1t
is fearful tale to tell on our
city, but, nevertheless, these are
the facts. You will find some
people saying the police are not
doing their duty"
IF THE polio e GET BUSY.
Nov if they are not, and
were to get busy, there would
not be many left to tell what
had taken place in Norfolk. Talk
about building more docks and
charging water plant, all such
would have to be side-tracked
and go to building jails. Think,
will you, II, $50 arrests, and you
say the police are not doing their
duty. Bless your life, do you
really want them to get move
on themselves and arrest the
whole push of us? | understand
some 65 per cent. were arrested
for drunkenness. Think of that,
will you? Seven thousand per-
sons drunk enough to be arrested
one in every eleven of our
population. That is enough to
make the hair stand on our heads:
WHAT ARE THE REMEDIES?
"Is there any remedy for this
awful state of affairs? Yes, re-
move the saloon, the house of
prostitution, he ballroom and
the gambling hell, and you have
about put the police out of bust,
ness. Strange to say, you vii!
find some people in this city that
will say those four things cannot
be removed. Now, if they can
not, pull down your churches,
destroy your school buildings,
burn your Bibles, stab to death

The Mad Dog Problem BE-
coming Acute.

Richmond, Va. Feb. 10. The
reported de lth from hydrophobia
of a boy in Alexandria, making
the third known death from this
disease in the State during the
last twelve months, is causing
the States health officers no lit
tie concern and is generally
taken TO indicate that the mad
dog problem is steadily becoming
more acute.
Despite repeated warnings,
few OF the counties and cities
have taken any precautions to
protect their citizens against
rabiG animals. AS Il result, dur
ing the last fiscal year. the State
treated at its health laboratory
here ninety-foUr persons who
had been exposed to the inlcc-
ton; and the years. records of
the Board Of health SHOW that
man in Patrick country and n
colorcd child in Southsidc Vir-
girie have already succumbed to
Tire disease which claimed its
third victim last week in Alex
andria.
Said an officer of the Board to-
day in discussing the Alexandria
case: This horrible tragedy
adds another chapter to the very
distressing story on neglect with
which health officers are now
familiar. The counties ard cities
ere bringing this suffering ON
our citizens by failure to adopt
and enforce any regulations for
the mu2zling Of dogs. Amin ais
are allowed to roam at large I'M
hindered and often bite dozens
OF persons before being killed"
much Of the present indiifer-
ence on the subject is due to the
general knowledge that even if &
person is bitten by q rabid animal
he may be treated without dis
comfort and can avoid all dan
ger. This is true, for the State
last year treated free of cost a
total of ninety-four persons with
out fatality or inconvenience.
Yet transportation and living
expenses during the three weeks
these people took treatment
amounted to al least five thous-
and dollars. In addition, hun
dreds OF. valuable horses, cattle
and domestic animals have to be
destroyed every year because
they are bitten by rabid animals.
The money value of property
thus destroyed reaches high into
the thousands. Every dollar of
this is a toll to our own neglect.
If we enfore muzzling ordi-
nanccs. rabies will stop and will
become as rare as it is in
European countries.
Instead of decreasing, rabies
seems steadily on the increase in
Virginia and is not confined to
any one season of the year. We
now have ten patients under
treatment and are almost daily
receiving new patients. Virginia
is paying heavily for neglect OF
very simple precaution."

The Soil in Which You Plant
Your Corn

Your Corn
/ We said two or Il ere weeks
ago that it would always be un-
profitable to plant corn on poor
land, and we repeat it. The
average corn crop in the South
is not profitable crop; the
average Southern soil is not rich
enough to produce a paying crop
of corn. Therefore. as the first
step toward making his corn pay
him this year. the farmer should
plant only on land from which
he can reasonably expect fair
yield twenty-five bushels an
acre at the very least. If his land
will net make this much, he had
better plant it in cowpeas o. soy
beans.
In the second place, the farmer
should remember that itrequires
q lot of water to make y corn
crop. II has been estimated that
about 300 tons OF water ere re-
CURED 10 produce q ton Of dry
matter in a corn crop. Ii the
water is lacking, the crops will
be cut short; and corn crops in
the South are, in all probability,
more often cut short by scarcity
of water than by the actual lack
of I lal food in the soil. Nomat-
ter how much plant food there
is in the soil, it is useless to The
plant until it is dissolved in the
saltwater. The corn land should
have q great water-holding
capacity.
This means that the soil should
be deep, and we'll filed with
vegetable matter. The man who
has crimson clover sod, or amy
other grecn crop, to turn under
ior his corn this spring il more
than half assured of 4 good crop.
The man W no has turned under
q red clover or grass sod this
winter can afford to be confident
t. at lie will make corn. The
man who is hauling out manure
TO cover his corn land also has
good reason 10 be hopeful Of big
yields. But the man who is going
TO plant corn on land that has
been bare since last years corn
or Gotten crop, that is deficient
in humus, that will dry out
quickly if 4 drouth comes she
man who has such land and who
liust depend on the fertilizers
he applies, rather than upon the
soil, for his corn crop, is going
to have q hard time making that
corn yield a profit.
To hold moisture well and give
the corn roots Il good feeding
ground it is necessary, too, that
The corn land be well broken.
-Four or five inches of loose soil
On top of a hard-pan is very little
space for corn roots to forage
In, especially if dry weather
comes and pumps out the mois-
ture the corn needs. The grow
ing corn plant is as hungry as a
growing colt or Il growing boy
it is all the time looking for
food, and the roots are running
far and wide-and deep, too, if
they can-creeping in between
the tiny soil particles, and tax
ing up the food that will 20 to
make the strong plant and good
ears.
-Four or five inches of soil, and
that dried out, and how is the
plant to get the food it must
have to produce those good ears?
This, then, is the first esse initial
in making a good crop OF corn
a deep, fine soil, well filled with
vegetable matter and of a fair
degree of fertility. The dead,
dry soil, lacking humus, and
broken to a depth of four or five
inches is not going to make a
paying crop Of corn, and he who
plants corn on such land is not
wise. Progressive Farmer.

There are those, of course, who will

point out tina a ball player should be

that 1t little matters whether his
