HOW SHALL THEY BE
REACHEno

How to get information dissemin-
ated among the people is, as every.
BODY knows, problem now, as it
has been for years. There was y
time when there was lack of infor.
nation on many subjects of every
day life, particularly as to questions
of agriculture, health and domestic
science. And there are yet of course
many unsolved and untouched cues
tons pertaining to all departments of
life, but more is known today of how
and how not, what and what not, than
ever before. Thousands upon thous
ands of men and women are at work
IN school room, laboratory and work
shop, investigating, experimenting
and finding out things for the bet
terment of social, domestic and in
dustrial conditions, and the end is
not even discernible through power
full telescopes. We are just begin
ming to learn things. The erea;
problem is now, how to get theso
modern discoveries of importan.
facts disseminated among the peo-
pie. AS we see it, the hope of tho
country lies with the agricultural!

chools and the newspapers. If the |

Col. James 5. Browning, of Roam
oke and Abbs Valley, has added the
following to his Progressive platform
Timothy, clover, potatoes,
blue grass, corn in moderate
acreage, fat cattle and fine
horse. We can lead the world
with these. Stick to the old flag
and let the new rags alone.'"
The Colonel advanced this plank
of his platform in communication
to the Clinch Valley News, and
what he says will appeal to all peo-
pie i'll the southwest as we'll worth
considering.
81 am willing to try anything"
says the Colonel, chat promises a
greater yield; but stop your speculat-
ing and give us figures. Who has
made bowling success of alfalfa in
Southwest Virginia? If the seed
bed for timothy and clover was pre-
pared with the same care as for al
falfa, the yield would be as great"
In recent years alfalfa has grown
immensely in favor among progress
sive farmers. Many beautiful and
successful fields of it are to be seen
in the Roanoke section, and if all
the reports we hear concerning it are
true, it is bound to have n great fu-
ture. Colonel Browning probably
knows more about alfalfa and timo-
thy in one day than we know about
them in month, and his conclusions
relative to the southwest may be
entirely correct; but for the section
of Virginia which we are more famil-
lar, that is, from Roanoke to Tide
water, we have notion that alfalfa
is going to prove Il great and lasting
benefit.
We appreciate the fact that Colo
mel Browning is always ready to de-
fend his side of an argument and
that he knows how to marshal his
forces skillfully and effectively. We
have no doubt that he can bring fig
ures and statistics mile long to
prove the scundness of his assertions.
Nevertheless hundreds of thousands
of Woodworking, hard thinking agri
culturalists have found in alfalfa the
solution of an anxious problem, and
other farmers, an army of them, per-
ceiving what has been done will 90
and do likewise. Alfalfa, in our judg-
ment, has come to stay. Itsluxuriant
green will adorn more and more the
hills and valleys of the Roanoke
country, and after while it will take
the place of multitude of old field
pine and broom sage in the east.
The Colonel can expatiate on the
merits and blessings of timothy and
clover and probably bring many to
mis- way of thinking, and his cattle
nay roll in fat, his horses glow like
plate glass mirrors, and the old flag
may wave eioriously and merrily
from Abbs Valley balconies, but al |
falfa will move steadily and surely |
20 its destiny, and in it's wake will |
De innumerable comfortable expe-
riences for those whom it befriends. |

HOW TO HEAL SKIN
AND SCALP TROUBLES

A Baltimore doctor suggests this
simple, but reliable and inexpensive,
home treatment for people suffering
with eczema, rinswOrm, rashes. and
similar itching skin and scalp troubles.
At any reliabis druggists get a jar Of
resinol ointment and a cake of resinol
soap. With the resinol soap and warm
water battle the affected parts thor
oughly, until they are free from crusts
and the skin is softened. Dry very
gently, spread on a thin layer Of the
resinol ointment, and cover with a
light bandage. This should be done
twice a day. Usually the distressing
itching and burning stops with the
first treatment. and the skin soon be-
comes clear and healthy again.-Adv.
