RETAIL MERCHANTS AND BANK
RUPTCY.

1t appears from the daily papers
that Roanoke City is suffering from
an epidemic of bankruptcy, an unus-
ually large number of firms having
made assignments recently giving as
cause their inability to collect their
bills. The merchants, say the Poop
pie, have only themselves to blame
for thoir troubles, because they, the
merchants, have sold goods on cred
it to people who were financially not
responsible for debts contracted.
Young men and young wCmen clerks,
mechanics in shops and day laborers,
have been allowed to make accounts
which the merchants should have
known, in all probability, could never
be paid. This is an evil, not in Roa-
noke alone. irresponsible parties are
not only willingly granted credit by
the good merchants but in many
cases are solicited if not urged to
open accounts, and in numerous in
stances, for articles that could be
easily done without. The instalment
plan, the easy weekly payment" has
gotten many Il merchant and custom
er, too, into trouble. The credit sys-
tera is an evil as Il rule, or at least
Il privilege easily abused.
. In many instances the purchaser
rather than the merchant, is the one
deserving sympathy. There are times,
of course, when credit must be given
or the party must suffer, but as n
rule, anything that cannot be paid for
should be done without. The expe-
rience of the Roanoke merchants
should be of benefit to merchants and
purchasers, too, elsewhere.

SCORE AGAIN FOR GENERAL
JOHN.

An hundred thousand dollars worth
of property went up in smoke in Rich.
mond last week. Three brave fire,
men were killed and number Of per-
sons injured.
The casualties, according TO the
papers, were all due to liquor. Some
of the Richmond papers are calling
for help for the families of the dead
iiremen and others made homeless by
the iire-the same papers who last
year fought Il fight against prohibi-
ton and in favor of the sale of the
stuff.
Another lesson: During the Fair
here young man was shot twice by
some one, he did not know who-too
drunk, it is said, to know anything.
n man is now in Jail here charged with
the shooting. The man who was shot
is expected to die. How does the liq-
uor seller feel? How do the fellows
feel now who voted wet last year.

SHOOTING IN WISE.

The Wise Virginian, in it's last is
sue says: On last Sunday very
serious shooting ARRAY occurred OH
Guest River, short distance above
Coon's Eye Postotiice. IRON the
meagre information received it seems
that Orbin Wampler, son of |. f.
Wampler, had some trouble with Lem
Ramsey. In some way Ramsay got
possession of shot gun belonging to
Wamper and strated to leave with
it. Wampler followed him with the
intention, OF is supposed, of getting
the gun back. Ramsay found out
that Wampler was following him and
hid in a corn field by the road and as
Wampler came up opposite him Ram
say fired the entire load of shot taking
effect in his breast and arm. The
wound in Vampires breast was a
very serious one, but on account of
the shots being small. it is thought he
will recover.

PREJUDICE.

Easy to create, it is hard to de-
stloy. Sinister of wit, it is weak of
wisdom. Its perceptions are false
II sees in darkness; II is blind in the
light. 1t nurtures lies and rejects
the truth. Breeding hatred, it blasts
sympathy. 1t rules those who give
it life. 1t is a conjured Franken-
stein, dominating millions of men. Ii
sits beside the gates of life and takes
toll of all that pass.
ut is the conservator of all that
reason would destroy, the destroyer of
the works of justice. 1t is the hand
maiden of error, the Nemesis of
knowledge. 1t feeds fear and pois-
ons hope. 1t thrives upon the meat
of yesterday. 1t sickens on the susie
nance of today.
ut is the anarchist of the heart. 1t
smothers faith. 1t gives love to the
torch. 1t bemeans benevolence and
shuns communion. 1t stills the sound
OF music and palsies the hand of art.
1t betrays belize and sets suspicion on
the throne. 1t rejoices in tears. It's
mirth is in misery.
1T is the monster of the mind. 1t

ravishes right. 1t offends against fact

Dollars and cents is the basis of reck-
oning with all farm products, So it
behooves us TO feed our stock on
cheaper rations, as well as keeping
only such grades of stock that will de
mand tho best prices on the market.
One of the surest ways of lowering
the cost per bushel of corn, is that of
selecting high yielding seed. When
1t is not convenient to select seed
while the corn is standing, the next
best plan is that of selecting ears
Tor seed at the time of shocking. 1t
is much easier to get good seed corn
then than 1t is TO 20 to the crib next
spring when three-fourths of the best
ears have been fed. A good ear at
husking time may have been due to
richer soil or more ground space, but
even with this drawback, we can get
better seed than is possible to Sc
lect ut the crib.
And when selected, be sure the seed
corn is kept away from rats, and is
placed where it will cure out we'll.
Unless the seed is properly cured, the
terminating power will be reduced
and bad stand result. Bad stands
increase the cost of production
because replant corn never makes as
good ears as the first planting, and
furthermore, it takes Us much work
for poor stand as it does for good
one.
Some pure-bred corn will not mature
IN the higher parts of this county, but
That is no reason why we can't i'm
prove the yield of native corn by
proper methods of selection.

LET THE BOYS LEARN TO FARM

In the present day of advanced az
riculture, men have been studying out
plans by which farmers bows NAV
be given an interest in the farms-an
interest that does not mean all work
and no reward, but work that is at
tended with much interest, friendly
rivalry, and willingness to begin
while young the study of soils as ma
ture made them and what man has ac-
complished on them.
Work of the Boys Corn Club.
In the spring of 1914, fifteen hun
dred and sixty boys wero enlisted in
the corn clubs of Virginia. larger
number being enrolled last spring.
Leroy L.. Sawyer, H., of Norfolk
county, was the state champion corn
grower. He raised 1G6 bushels on one
acre of land. Two o;her boys made
yields exceeding $50 bushels to the
acre. Fortyliiv boys made over 100
bushels per acre each. Although last
year was Il bad season for corn, the
average cost per bushcl for all that
grown by the club boys was only SIC.
The boys who is DESTROYS of becom-
ing club member, is given an acre of
land to plant in corn and work him
self, keeping record of the time and
money spent, time of planting, har-
vestlng, etc. Thus he knows exactly
what 1T costs to make bushel of
corn; the effects of seasons and fer
tIllZers; the value of seed selection
and thorough cultivation. Then, in the
fall, the boys select the best ten ears
of corn to be exhibited at the fair.
Prizes will be awarded for the best
III ears, the best single ear, the high
est yield, the most economical Weld,
and the best report. So in this way
every boy will have chance to win
at least one of the prizes.
Last year, $2,5i5 was distributed
as prizes among 1913 corn club bows.
but the value of the lessons learned
and the experience gained was far
greater than that of the prizes.
What II Boys Corn Club Is.
1t is form of practical educa-
ton and has been brought about bv
the great needs of the rural south.
1t is the only plan yet suggested that
brings the boy in contact with his ma
tive soil, and binds him to it by giving
him that equipment which goes to
make more successful farmer and
better man morally.
The work of organizing a bows corn
club in Tazewell county will begin
at once. The farm demonstration
agent will begin by visiting as many
Of the schools as possible IN order to
secure the names of those boys who
wish to take part in this great work.
Then he will go TO their homes and
help in selecting a place for the acre,
securing good seed corn, and give di-
rections as to reports on plowing,
planting, cultivating, ect.
These corn club plots will be class
ed as demonstrations, and there is no
reason why this county should not
make substantial gain in the acreage
yield of corn per acre. No radical
methods will be used, but only a well
tried system will be advocated.

Farm Demonstration Agent.
