The county agent is much pleased
with the progress of the demonstra-

casionally, a demonstration fails in his
plans, due usually to unavoidable cir
cumstances. These cases are indeed
rare. Perhaps the greatest interest
is manifest in the soy-bean plots. Soy
beans have been almost an unknown
quantity in the county until this year.
We now have about so acres in dem
onstration plots, saying nothing of
many more acres put in as a result
of the soy-bean campaign but not test

not given this wonderful legume crop

eye on your neighbor's field and call
at orr office for information regard
ing it.
We still have place for a few more

OTHER WASHINGTON NEWS Or
MUCH INTEREST TO WEST
VIRGINIA.
(By GEO. W. sUMMERs.)

WASHINGTON, June 20.-Pleased
with the beginning its officials have
made, the department of justice pro-
poses to continue its Investigations
into election frauds in southern West
Virginia The indictments of Green.
way Hatfield, sheriff of Mingo county,
and thirteen others, charged with
election frauds, is said to be but the
beginning of what is to result from
this federal investigation. 1t is un-
derstood strong evidence has already
been obtained which may be used to
indict persons higher up than the
election officers. AT any rate the wor
OF prosecuting those responsible for
election frauds in Mingo and other
counties has merely been begun and
some sensational testimony is ex-
pected to result from the 'inyestiga-
tons now being made.
The Conventions.
While two national conventions
have met, nominated their candidates
for president and vice president and
adopted their platform since the West
: Virginia primary election was held,
it is not yet known whom the Repub-
licans nominated in that primary for
their candidate for governor. The
charges and counter charges of can
didates against each other and
against their hackers was no more Sc
we're than the charges and counter
charges of the candidates as to cleo
ton frauds and corruption at the
polls. The whole situation is suf-
ficeitn to disgust every one with the
republican party, which would toll
crates uch candidates as these in the
race have been proclaimed by their
opponents to be and such conduct at
the polls as the candidates allege to
have occurred. Though held at the

same time, the democratic primary
was such as to inspire confidence in
nominees and to shame the opposing
party. The democrats waged a decent
campaign. The republicans have dis
gusted everybody by their methods
and their charges of fraud and cor
ruption in their own party. If they
have driven republican voters out OF
their own party, it is the fault of the
debauched condition which exists in
Republican politics in West Virginia.
In view of all that has occurred, it
would be difficult for any one with
self respect to support either of the
republican candidates for the COVER
norship.
May Compromise.
Compromises have been made by
West Virginia republicans in the
past when they disagreed upon can
didates for offices, ana the same
method of procedure has been suggest
ed for them this year in connection
with the governorship. In 1909,
when the party could not decide be.
tween Charles w. Swisher and Arnold
Scherr for the governorship they
were both induced to withdraw and
William f. Glasscock was chosen as
a. compromise candidate. IN 1913,
when the republicans in the legisla-
/ ture could not choose their candidate
flor senator, they dropped Isaac T.
Mann, Davis Elkins and the late Will
liam Seymour Edwards and selected
Nathan Golf as a compromise candi-
date. The selections of Glasscock for
governor and Golf for senator have
been so satisfactory to the party that
il is probable they will follow the
same course this year. Possibly
former Governor Glasscock would ac-
cept the nomination as a pacificator
or perhaps Senator Golf, to aid his
party in its time of difficulty, would
resign as senator and accept a nomi-
nation for governor to solve the ques-
ton as to whether Lilly or Robin
son is nominated.
Petroleum Production.
West Virginia's marketed produc-
ton of petroleum for 1915 was the
smallest recorded in any year but one
since 1895, according to figures of
the United States Geological Survey.
The figures of the geological survey
show the marketed production for
1915 to have been 9.264,79S barrels.
In 1907 the marketed production was
but 9,095,296 barrels, the lowest in
20 years. The wells drilled in West
Virginia in 1915 averaged Is barrels
a day on the day of production.
State Banks Third.
West Virginia stands third among
the pottery producing states, and
in 1914 showed the largest increase
Martinsburg herald. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1881-1920, 1916-06-24

in the value of its pottery products
Of any of the states, according to the
geological survey. The increase in
the value of it's production was $780,
159. The value OF West Virginia's
pottery products in 1915 was s4,510,-
623, or nearly one-eighth of the total
for the nation. It's principal product
Ia white ware, valued at S2,S37,7s
or nearly SO per cent of the states
total
Production Decreased.
West Virginia has shown a steady
decrease since 1910 in the production
of coke, according to figures Of the
geological survey. The statistics for
| 1915 show the decrease to be con-
tinuing, the total production of coke
in the state for the year being 1891
446 tons, the lowest since 1910. On
| the other hand Pennsylvania out
put in 1915 increased about 20 Per
| cent and Ohio's was the greatest IN
the history of that state.
