Summer Now Ending Has Been Re-
makable Because OF Sustained
Activity-Some Large Deals For
Near Future Are Being Hinted.

Despite the intense heat of the YaM
week. calculated to curtail business
activities, the realty market locally has
been steady and fairly active. The
average value of deeds of bargain and
sale going to the records in the courts
OF the city and of Henrico County
has been about $4,000, the total for
the week being a little under 81 5o.-
600.
The situation is good and prospects
are for greatly increased activity dur
ing the next few weeks. With more
seasonable weather the usual fall
movement of buyers will come on ana
real estate men will find themselves
much buster than they have been in
months. though there are few to be
found who complain of summer dull
ness. The remarka BILE activity that
has sustained itself through the sum-
mer will hold throughout the win >r.
it is predicted. unless there is brought
about some unforeseen disturbance.
Trading Not In Evidence.
The sales shown by last weeks
recordations were numerous. There
were but few Of them in which the
consideration ran above the $4,000
mark. Most deals were for smaller
properties. such as are sought by
homeseekers.
The week was bare of trading. noth-
ing being developed in the way OF

erous during recent weeks. and all

RUSSELL FARMERS FORM
TO BREED FINER STOCK
Organize Company and Import Good
Brecd-Demonstrators Make Sug-
gestiOns.

Tazewell, Va, Sept. l8.--W p.
Moore. of the Bedford District. super
hiendent of the farm demonstration
work. was In Tazewel! this week, and
made an address In the courthouse to
number of farmers.
James l.. Montague, county demon
strator, preceding the talk of Mr.
Moore. outlined the work he had un-
dertaken In the county. He empha-
sized the fact that he was at the SER
vice of the people. and requested that
they call upon him when any question
arose that needed his attention.
Mr.. Moore was introduced. and.
among" other things, spoke of the work
or organizing a farmers stock COM
pany In Russell County. which was
promoted by Farm Dernonstrator Wy
sor, of Russell. A number OF the
farmers and graders of Russell got
together and formed company.
which had for its object the breeding
Of pure-hred stock. The company
sent TO Missouri and bought fifty head
of pure-bred bulls, and scattered them
over the county TO the various men,
bers of the company. each member
OF which had subscribed a certain
amount of stock. The services of the
bulls IL free to the stockholders, fee
OF $3.50 being charged those outside
the company, The bulls are exchanged
from place to- place In the county to
prevent inbreeding. Russell County
farmers have also formed a fertilizer
club. saving IS per cent. by buying In
car lots.
Mr.. Moore lamented the fact that
In certain counties in Southwest Vir-
ginia nearly all the fruit trees were
effected by scale. He said that unless
there was concerted action among the
farmers and fruit raisers 10 eradicate
this evil I'm few years all the fruit
bearing trees would die. He sug-
gested as a remedy a systematic spray
ing outfit IL each farmer did not care
to buy one for himself.
In speaking of seed corn Mr.. Moore
referred to the Lee County corn
planted east OF town by the editor Of
this paper and others. He said that
the corn fields inspected were the
best he had seen and the prospect for
large yield was bright.
II there was objection to the taII-
ness of the corn he advised that seed
for the next planting be taken from
the shor. stalks. and then. In the
course OF a year or two the stalks
would be of average height and yet
prolific In yield Mr.. Moore stated
that he believed any kind OF corn
would mature in Taxewell County at
not taeSe over three years.
