Editor OF The Richmond Virginian:
Sir,-What is the matter with Senator
DrewryP What class of people in Petersburg
and vicinity does he really represent?
Are the Christian people of Petersburg in the
minority? If the newspaper records are true
he has voted against nearly every bill, for the
uplift and betterment of humanity that has
come up. and this we greatly deplore. Is his
constituency composed of few qualified voters
who are opposed to having a cleaner city and q
purer Commonwealth? Or does he represent
the people in general. the and women in
every home regardless of denomination or creed
voters nonvoters?
Petersburg has not gone to the bad and we
do not want any one to think So
We, the Womans Christian Temperance
Union of Petersburg Va, with 16 members and
composed of some of the best people of Peters
burg, take this opportunity of asking Mr..
Drewry. for the few days remaining to change
his course, and grant the wishes of some of the
good people in his native city, by supporting
with his votes. ali measures for the betterment
of society, and the uplift OF the race and thus
making the city and State cleaner and purer
place in which to raise bows and girls
Praying God to guide he votes and may he
remember that his votes count not only for time
but eternity,

ERApIcATINe JOHNSON RAoss.

DR.. ]. o. Morgan, professor OF
agronomy at the Texas A. & M. Col
Ilege, has the following to say concern
ing the eradication Of Johnson grass:
in order to eradicate small spots
OF Johnson grass two things are neces.
sary. First, do not allow Johnson
grass to produce seed second, every
vestige OF the grass root stocks must
4, be worked out OF the soil carefully.
Johnson grass propagates itself from
year to year from the underground
stems, usually spoken Of as root
stocks, and on each joint Of the under
ground stem there is bud which
later grows and produces plant.
Very often these root stocks are pro-
duced rather deeply in the SOIL max,
ing 1t difficult to kill them by cultural
methods.
Thoroughly spade up the small
spots that are infested with the grass
and then by means of hoe and fine
toothed rake separate the root stocks
from the soil. You will be more sue
cessful in killing out the Johnson
grass If this work is done during the
dry season of the summer.
where Johnson grass has been
grown as meadow or pasture for
number of years, it is eradicated with
ours as small spots in cultivated fields.
The difference is due to the fact that
in Johnson grass meadows and pas.
