CLOVER HILL FARMERS
GET TOGETHER IN MEETING
Stunts Worth DoinE-Hcnr Farm Dem
onstrHtor-Do Some Talking
of Their Own.

T. Fl. Burfoot. farm demonstrators
for Chesterfield County. spent day
last week here in the Glover Hill dis
dressed the farmers as they got to-
gcthcr in the afternoon at Ebenezer
school house. +. Bailey presided.
Mr.. Burfoot was the chief speaker.
and pointed out that up to within Il
few years ago there had been ample
timber in Chesterfield to enable farm
ers 10 make a living. but that as the
timber lands were cleared greater at
tention had TO be paid TO the upbuild-
ing of the soil Fortunately it re-
CURED but a short time to renovate
land. even though tenants had drained
II of its productive power for twenty
i've or thirty years. The moderate use
OF proper fertilizers. the cultivation OF
legumcs, the establishment of dairies'
and the general Improvement of stock
all tended 10 the rapid upbuilding of
the soil. and that vast improvements
could be made in Chesterfield soil had
been amply proven by such men ms
Bellwood. who i'll less than twenty five
years had transformed common land
worth but few dollars per acre to
the soil that produced the greatest one
farm exhibit in the world. now being
shown at san Francisco.
Mr.. Burfoot went into greater de.
tail as TO the possibilities Of hog
raising. save chalk talk on Virginia
model hog lot of only eleven acres on
which >9o5 worth of hog meat had
been raised At an expense, including
labor of man and team. of $500.
| wish | could reproduce this chalk
talk in the columns of The Times
Dispatch, for il it were illustrated here
ii could but prove of value TO all
farmers contemplating entering the
hog raising industry on a businesslike
basis.
IT may be explained. however. that
according 10 the chalk map. the hog
raiscrs have great things before them:
greater things, perhaps, than they
dream OF.
The hogs have access at all times
TO the permanent pasture in which the
hog house is erected Only one lot is
open at one time to connect with tho
permanent pasture, the other three
satos being closed
1t was pointed out that the hog is by
nature forager, gathering his food
ny grazing and roofing. The more
nearly he can be induced to gather his
own food the greater the chances for
success. In Chesterfield the hog should
harvest over 70 per cent of his own
food. The chalk talk outlined the
methods recently on the farm of L. II.
Slanson. in James City County. for
1914. All the pigs were farrowed in
January: the sows averaged sixteen
PIGS each during the year. seven and
one-half each first litter and eight and
one-half each second litter. The actual
cash outlay was $50 for five sows; S72
for feed and seed; total, S1+2. leaving

|L|TTLE TOBACCO SOLD

Old Confcticratcs or Sons of Same,
and Act Accordingly.
NO MARKETS DURING REUNION
However. Some of the Weed Got to
the Markets, and Buyers We're
Found to DO n Little Bidding or
Ono Kind and Apothcr.

Reunion Week was not confined alto
Ecthcr TO Richmond. but IL extended all
over Virginia. and MI over North Caro-
lima. and all OF the South. as for that
mater. Reunion Week was the time
the old confcderates took a kind OF
holiday. and so did their sons and their
HrandSons. and such OF them as had
some tobacco to sell remained at home,
or maybe they came to Richmond TO
celebrate with the old BOYS ANYHOW
they did not do very much In the way
of selling the loose leaf tobacco AS a
matter Of fact they had very little to
sell. and IL they had had all kinds to
put on the market they would have
put the deal off for at least Il week.
that is 10 say. during Reunion Week.
In Richmond there were only two
sale days. and for those two days the
offerings of the loose leaf were very
light. The total sales for the week did
not get far above 10000 pounds or
these offerings pretty much all were OF
the sun cured variety and the quality
was not of the best The farmers say
there is really no more Of the sun-cured
stock To he marketed. but all the same
the warehouse men are looking for
something like 100000. maybe 100000
pounds. yet to he delivered Some
times. however. the warehouse men are
not the better prophets.
Danville tells a story of short de-
liveries and very little more OF the
weed TO come in. The sales ,nere the
past week were very small and there
was little or no animation on the mar
ket. And yet. the warehouse men Of
that town are looking for some right
good deliveries following the big rains
OF the past week two. which big
rains produced mighty fine stripping
season, II there he anything more to
strip.
Lynchburg tells n story Of dull times.
AS n matter OF fact the Hill City came
very near having no sales the past
week Two days, however. some Of the
weed came in and saved the warehouses
from having n total whitewash. The
BUYERS were out In good shape. and by
doing some right lively bidding they
saved the market from getting a black
eye.
The Petersburg market is practically
closed Some dark goods showed UP
last week. and the buyers were on hand
TO look after 1t, but the sales were ex-
ceedinEly light.
II is more than likely that less than
4 half a million pounds OF the raw leaf
will he sold in all Of Virginia this week

Feed for Chicks.

Feeding is important factor in
the successful raising of chicks For
the first thirty-siX hours the newly
Matched need no feed at all. as the yolk
OF the egg is absorbed furnishing
them with sufficient nourishnent. After
this period has elapsed give them a
supply of fine grit and charcoal. and II
possible feed them some d-boiled
eggs. The infertile eggs from the in
cubator may be used for this purpose.
Then feed them some good commercial
chick food, or If this is not easily oh
tainable. give them a mixture of steel
cut oatmeal, millet seed and fine
cracked corn.

Hint to More countle. Than One.

good citizen OF Sussex County in
closes in letter clipping from the
editorial column of the WaverIy Dis
patch and asks that 1t be given as a
hint or suggestion to the people of his
county. IT is not only god sugSes-
ton TO the people of Sussex, but also
of other counties. 1t is given space
with pleasure. Here 1t is:
Sussex County is to have a com
bined school and agricultural fair this
fall, preparations for which are now
being made This fair. If 1t is to be
made the success we have right TO
expect, must be supported financially
in a large measure by the county treas
ury and we cannot think Of better
purpose to which the public fund should
he put than this. Building bridges and
spending money on the public highways
of the county is good and proper and
shhould not I've discontinued. but sure
~ we cannot say that the big county
of Sussex is too poor to continue this
work and also aid the fair association
literally. Fixing bridges and highways
is not the only thing. There are other
good and laudahle enterprises that need
the help of the county. The county
fair is certainly one OF these, and
money judiciously expended for this
purpose will be returned manifold in
the years 10 come. Therefore, let our
Board of Supervisors. bearing this In
mind. be liberal with their contribu-
ton for the fair"

At the Auditorium.

The show that will appear at the Auditorium for the first three days of this week will surpasse all previous efforts of the management in trying to secure good bills for their patrons. The name of this really extraordin- ary attraction is the Musical Follies of 1915" and it is seldom that a show of this calibre is seen in a popular priced house. There are in the lead ing roles such V ell known perform chs as Eddie Bowling, New England's best funologist, Raymond Finlay and Lottie Burke, two comedians who are known from coast to coast in both vaudeville and high class musical comedy, having appeared in several of MT George NJ. Cohen's Broadway at fractions. Not alone these clever peo pie are with the show but Mir Walter Bergeron, well known on account of his wonderful voice, the Finley Sis ters who were a tremendous hit on the Keith vaudeville circuit and sev- erai other high class artists will al so appear as well as the famous folly girls who compose one of the finest ch0ruses in musical comedy. Alto gether it is one big show for the ridiculously small admission price of 10 and 20 cents. The FoIlIes show will run two and a half hours without a dull moment from start to finish and owing to this fact there will be but two shows daily and they will be run as follows: Matinee will start at 2.30 and pictures will be shown from 2.30 until 3 when the Foilies show will start and this will run from to SEQ Tn the evening pictures will be shown from to 1.45 and the FollieS will start at that time and ru nuntu Ills.
 The feature picture for the first two days will be The Coward a story of heart interest with Dorothy Phillips in the leading role.
