sAPPHo WAS GREATEST POET
So Said SwInburne In a Glowing Ap.
probation Of tho Greek
Poetess.

London.-A hitherto unpublished ap-
probation by Swinburne of the Greek
poetess Sappho appears In the satur
day Review. The appreciation, which
is glowing in praise and apparently
dates back to the middle period Of
Swinburne's life, concludes thus:
Judging even from the mutilated
fragments that have fallen within n
reach from the broken altar Of her
sacrifice Of song, / have always agreed
with all Grecian tradition in thinking
Sappho. beyond all question and com.
parison, the very greatest poet that
ever lived. Aeschylus is the greatest
poet who ever was, also q prophet.
Shakespeare Is the greatest dramatist
who ever was, also a poet But Sap
pho was simply nothing less, as she
certainly was nothing more than the
greatest poet who ever was at all"

Keep Crank Case Clean.

Because all of the Of contained In
the crank case of an engine is not used
up before a new supply must be put In,
the novice is apt to fail t appreciate
the need of purging the case and re-
newing the entire oil supply from time
to time. This Ia absolutely necessary,
however, because the residue left aft
er much oil has been used ia largely
devoid Of its former l~ubricatinz prop
critics, and contains a large proportion
of carbon and some water. Adding
fresh oil to this merely dilutes 1t, as
1t were, and furnishes a deceptive re-
suit in the matter Of quality. The ef-
feet Is much the same as though poor
grade of lubricant were employed
Hence 1t. is absolutely essential that
the oil be drawn on entirely at regular
intervals, thrown away and a new sup
ply Of fresh oil being put in In its
stead.

NEW INDUSTRY FOR
EASTERN VIRGINIA
Bulbs to Be Cultivated in the
Good Lands Around
About Norfolk.
SIXTYTHOUSAND DOLLAR LOAD
Virginia City by the Sea and
Surrounding Section Is
Coming to Front.

A. letters. of Ocean. Va, writing to
the Manufacturers Record. tells the
following interesting story:
Probably the most valuable load
of soil products ever recorded passed
over the streets of Norfolk recently,
when 10000 pounds Of bulbs (stx tons)
were transferred on one truck from the
steamer to cold storage in tho city.
where the bulbs will remain until the
owners arc ready to put them In the
ground. This load at lowest wholesale
price represented $4,000. This was
the amount they would command on
the market ut regular market or regu-
lar ruling price for such.
This bulb enterprise is in the hands
of energetic men of large and long
experience, and It has been clearly
demonstrated that the climate OF East
ern Virginia near the sea is as favor
ahle TO the bulb as Is the climate OF
Holland, which country for many.
many years has enjoyed quite mon
cpoly and has been practically sup
plying the world with the product
named. The soil and climate near
Norfolk has been found entirely suited
fitted and adapted to the work. and
already two other enterprises are in
vading the territory for the purpose of
supplying the United States with the
product and thus keep at home. or In
this immediate vicinity, millions Of
dollars which have heretofoIe gone
out of the country entirely to enrich
the careful. thoughtful. enterprising
growers in Holland. This enterprise,
Just beginning work here. is to be con-
Quoted on q large scale, as Is evil
denced by the first movement OF $4,000
pounds OF bulbs above mentioned.
..idcaI Climate md Soil.
1.-THE soil and the climate ara Sfmply
ideal for the work. The facilities for
distributing tho product cannot be eX-
celled on the entire North American
Continent. One interesting feature of
the plant or enterprise is this: These
hubs are to be manipulated In soil
that n few million years ago was under
salt water. 1t is u beautiful mixture
Of sand, clay and humus. IL tho rain
fall is not sufficient or timely at all
times. there is an ocean OF water six
teen feet under the ground that can

tanks and distributed where 1t is need
ed. and where 1t will do most good.
"rhe mild winters OF this section,
made still more mild and even by the
influence of the Gulf Stream, together
with other favorable conditions, insure
the success Of this enterprise from tho
standpoint OF natural advantages, while
the long experience of those engaged
In the work. together with tho most ex-
cellent transportation facilities afford

settled or undecided excepting the labor

management is also required: few

With Richmond Idea.

Lynchburg, Va, January S.-Captain
Leroy f. Brown. chairman of the leg
islative committee of the Richmond
Real Estate Exchange, spoke twice
here this week, discussing and ex-
planning mortgage tax bill which is
being advocated for adoption at the
next session of the Legislature In tn
morning of Tuesday last he addressed
the executive committee of the Farmers
Educational and COOPERATIVE Union OF

the afternoon in the rooms of the
Chamber of Commerce he spoke to the

ready speaker and thoroughly posted
on his topic. He showed that here in
Luxembourg mortgages are annually
taxed Sl.S5 on 100 dollars and that on

ment OF $4,000. loaned on mortgage.
about one-third Is spent in taxes.
which he called unjust. He claimed
that the present system of taxing
mortgages was the greatest enemy of
progress in Virginia and that other
States have long since abandoned the
law that is now III fore. in Virginia,
and adopted more liberal and gencr-
Gus laws affecting bonds and mort
cages These have had the effect of
greatly reducing tho rate of interest,
have brought thousands of dollars
Into circulation that would otherwise
have been sent out OF tho States, have
increased bank deposits by many mil
lions OF dollars, added as many Alore
millions to circulation, and have ac-
tually in some instances quadrupled
the revenues to the Commonwoalths.
Many States have followed the lead
of New York. which adopted in lieu
n n
II straight tax OF one-1alf OF one per
cent. collected n the time of record
alton OF the mortgage. this being the
only tax during the life OF the mort
gage.
Such n law is recommended to the
state of Virginia. it has been approved
by many of the banking institutions
1T has been recommended BY the
grand juries OF the cities OF Rich
mond and Alexandria, and by the
grand juries of many OF tho counties
1t has likewise been extensively and
thoroughly discussed by the largo
financial institutions of many OF our
cities, and has been taken up eSten-
sively by the press. which almost as
unit adds its Endorsement to the
plan.
1t is believed that IL the proposed
bill becomes law 1t will more than
ooupie tho revenue OF the state, Il
Will add millions to the circulation
of money in the State. and will re-
duce materially the rate Of interest.

will be such surplus OF money seek

NUTS FOR PROFIT
DOWN IN VIRGINIA
The Pecan, the Hickory and the
Walnut-Shade and
Profit, Too.
WHY NOT HAVE BOTH AT ONCE?
Virginia the Best Land for the
Cultivation of the Profit
able Pecan.
BY PROF. y. RUSSELL SMITH.

Which would you rather have, n
basketful Of leaves which you may
Aavo TO clean up out Of your yard, or
basketful of nuts? Apparently the
proposition is SO plain it does not need
to be put. But Ii you will go look ut
the shade trees people have about their
houses, you might come to the conclu-
sion that the preference was greatly
In favor of leaves. However. 1t isn't
SO much matter OF preference as one
about which we seem thus far not to
have thought. The real point is that a
tree can do two things at once-make
shade and raise nuts.
We have not yet thought much about
working shade, or of the development
or trees into crops. Here Is. however,
great fold for the extension Of aGri-
culture. for 1t is quite likely that Vir-
Ginia has from six to ten species OF
trees that could in time make very
profitable crops. Few of us stop to
think that once upon a time the beet,
the bean. and wheat and all the rest,
grew Wild and were tanned by some en-
terprising citizen Of the past.
Tie Queen or Nuts.
we have such a process of tanning
one of the tree crops now in progress
and just about completed. The pecan
possibly the queen of nuts, and GER
tainly queen among trees. has just
entered upon the period of domestica-
ton and crop production. We in Vir-
Einia are prone to think of it as q
Southern crop, but I recently found
one of gigantic size growing in a yard
In Leesburg, the county seat OF Lou
doun, up In the 20-degree below zero
belt occasionally, and, while small,
the nuts are delicious. Other trees are
growing nicely in that county. and
even In Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
New York State.
The pecan is rapidly becoming an
industry in the South, but most of
the Southern varieties are useless for
us in Virginia. On the other hand
orr State is to be congratulated In
that we have within our borders one
Of the pioneers In the domestication
Of the Northern pecan. Due to tho
indefatigable persistency OF w "
Roper of Petersburg, we now know
how to propagate tho trees. and can
get budded trees Of varieties that are
perfectly hardy in this state Mr.
Roper has even gone so far as to graft
them on hickory. and although some
of his top worked hiclsories wore bear
ing pecans at rather precoc!ous age
when l was at his place recently.
think the average rank and file OF Vir-
ginia farmers will have to depend upon
budded trees which we will NIL be able
to get In n short time.
