stock men and farmers of the south.
Some of the things advocated at
the convention are:
/. That the railroads put cheaper
rates on breeding cattle.
2. That the government stop all
interstate shipment Of tick-infested
cattle. This includes cattle on the
way to market for immediate slaugh-
ter as well as animals being used for
stocking purposes.
Resolutions were passed soliciting
the cooperation Of the oil mills of
the south in building up the cattle
industry and suggesting to the bank
ers OF, the south the importance Of
making cattlena basis of credit.

GROW MORE CATTLE.
Prominent Cattle Grower Urges
Southern Farmers to Raise Cattle
Conserve Soil Fertility, by Crow

BY A. L. FRENCH, Prominent Cattle
Grower, Cascade, Va.
AS our country grows older other
problems besides securing the pres
ent dollar thrust themselves upon the
man who handles the soil, and to the
thinking men of the south, soil con-
servation stands In a class by itself
as our most pressing problem and
practical means looking to this end
demands from year to year an ever
increasing proportion of our Thought.
The crop that is indigenous to a
country is not always the crop that
continues to be held in the highest es-
TEEN by the leading thinking men of
that section. For instance, in the
finest blue grass section of Indiana
know leading live stock raiser and
feeder who is discarding blue grass
very largely for timothy, herds grass
and sapling clover as pasture crops,
because of the greater amount of
feed the new pasture crops are pro-
ducing. So while the grass has not
been much In evidence upon the farms
over much Of the south up to this
time the change of sentiment that is
everywhere present among our peo-
pie regarding the care of the soil leads
us to believe that the matter will be
tried out in large way during the
next ten years.
Grow More Grass.
And where the trial is intelligently
made grass will surely follow, for
abundant rainfall. much sunshine, q
fair quality of soil and lime makes
grass growing. We have the rainfall
and sunshine ever with us. the skele-
ton OF good soil is ours yet and a
million or two tons of lime are within
our borders awaiting our awakening.

The Drunken Man ut Church.

Editor Virginian:
SRI feel called upon TO say few words
about tho article in The VirginIan this morning,
entitled Drunken Man AZ Church which re-
fers To a clipping Of the same title which APP
peared on April LIST
Surely This gentlemans letter does not voice
the sentiment or express the feeling of the
great body Of Christian people Of this city or
elsewhere. II the impression have gained
from many hundreds of Christian friends and
associates is not strangely and seriously mis-
representative of Christian people whole
then THIS gentleman comes far from expressing
their ideas and convictions on the subject he
discussed.
As minor point he is mistaken when ne
declares that n thoughtless action. word or
Impression made by enc minister lis disgrace
to ministers, a class.
He further says:
n would seem that MANY OF them have be
come blinded by the things Of this world that
they have forgotten their high calling. The
place for this minister is not at the polls hut In
his study reading the word of God and learning
10 point sinners to the Lamb Of God who taketh
away the sin OF the world"
No wonder that to the outsiders the church
is a stumbling block when ministers of the
gospel are SO busy attending the legislature that
they have forgotten how to preach. In this
good city we have $50 licensed bars, and vet
thousands Of people do not find that they are
In any WAY Inconvenience by their presence.
In the above, comment is needed to point
out that the minister is needed at the polls
and is needed in our Legislature, when the lay
numbers of the churches come to the place where
they will say they not "in any way lncon-
venienced" ny the presence Of the saloon In
deed ii Is mo wonder that to the outsiders the
church il n stumbling block" when such men
will dismiss with shNlc all thought Of working
for civic righteousness and Of exercising the
demons of immortality. and drunkenness. And
