No Candidates Against Him for House
of DeleratCs

Especial to The Times Dispatch1
Wytheville. July 11.-There has been
but little interest in politics in Wythe,
In so far 1t relates to the candidate
for the House of Delegates. Colonel
w o. Moore, the former representative
for Wythe County, has announced his
candidacy for reelection and will have
no opposition; at least there is no indi-
cation at this time that any other can
date Will offer. The contest for county
superintendent OF schools Will have a
bearing on the contest between the
candidates for Attorney-General In
fact. this is the only matter causing
the least interest in State politics.
Many comments are made on the action
of the Board OF Education in post
ponng the appointment for Wythe
County until after the primary. and
various conjectures are made as to the
effect OF that action. The contest for
the post-office here is also a matter
of considerable interest. with three
candidates in the field. Mr.. Otey is
backed by what Is known as the
organization, while Major Sanders and
Mr.. Sexton are using every effort to
overcome this influence. All three can
didates supported the organization
candidates In the last primary for
United States Senate.

HAD ON APPLICATION.

The highest yield of durum wheat at
the Langdon s%ubstation for 1912 was
IS 2-3 bushels per acre, for the Char
novka. The highest yields of other
crops we're: Velvet chaff, No. 10,
81 Ia bushels; of the fife wheat,
Saskatchewan, 80 2-3 bushels; of blue
stem, the Davis, 27r2-3 bushels; of
oats, the experiment station No. 3SS,
80 IL bushels; of barley, Mansury, So
s165 3-4 bushels.
In. the trials in preparing corn land
for what, fall blowing, spring blowing,
spring discing, and spring narrowing
were tried. The narrowing gave the
best yield. .. .,.r,.,,s,.
Trials were also made as to the
time OF sowing wheat. That sown
April 10 yielded 3 IL bushels more
than that sown on May II. IT was
found that for wheat the best yield
was secured. when Z or s pecks were
sown, while 2 bushels of oats did the
best.
& In the experiments on depth of
blowing, where 4 inch, 6 inch and II
inch, was compared, the II inch gave
slightly the best yield of wheat, barley
and timothy hay. , .~~
These results are from the fourth
annual report. of the Langdon substa-
ton. 1t also states that alfalfa is
proving very successful as well as
clover and timothy. Good results have
been secured in applying manure. The
wheat was increased 7 bushels per
acre, while corn fodder was increased
2 tons per acre. Fourteen thousand
trees have been planted, principally
the white willow, Russian willow,
green and white ash, and box elder,
with some soft, maple, blackberry, elm
and Carolina poplar. The white will
low and green ash are proving the best
for windbreaks. ~-. ~
