SUCCESSFUL FARMS

Talks with Chesterfield farmers
lea1 to the conclusion that the most
successful farms IN the county are
those which year after year have from
TWO to four major sources Of income
The idea cf husbandmen of the old
school, that it pays best to raise the
crop bringing the most money, has
oeen exploded, they say, and in this
way: With all farmers raising the
same crop, the price of the commodity
soon falls, and unusually after the
crop is planted. In fact, to Il large
extent, prices are based OH private ana
governmental estimates" long before
the various crops are harvested.
One Chesterfield county farmer de,
t:lared that the word "diversitication
Of crops" had been subject to con,
siderable misuse in late years. lie
said that every farmer planting n
little of everything and not much OF
anything was said to be diversity.

SAVE CHESTERFIELD COUN-
TY ROADS

This is the time of the year when
more damage can be done To an i'm.
proved road by an unthOughtful driver
in day than can be repaired by tel
men in a week.
Colder days may still be in store
but we have had some soft weather
and are likely to have more before
finally arrives.
1t therefore is absolutely necessary
that care be taken not to haul heavy
loads ON thin tires over soft roads.
Not only that, but do your best tt
prevent others from thus desecratina
the highways.
The ruts that heavy teams can make
in the soil now will be with us all sum

SLOW WORK OVER FLOOD RELIEF

n week 0r SO ago, when floods were
at their worst in Arkansas, after hav.
ii,g had Il session of it in New Mexico
and two "rampagcs" in California, the
question came up OH the floor Of tn.
House of Representatives, as to the
necessity of giving instant relief.
Previously, and without debate, tho
senate had unanimously passed II res
olution granting 100000 for i'm
mediate relief to the stricken in Ar
kansas. But when the question came
up in the house, various congressman
parried over technicalities and OpineC
nothing should be granted until the

This while thousands were maroon,

1t has never yet happened that be,
fore aid was granted by the govern
ment to stricken district-Sulem,
Mass, and San Francisco, Cal, Of re
cent memory-that demands were
first made that the legislatures Oh
those states make the request.
The resolution was finally passed.
of course, but only after strenuous
efforts by better mentally-equipped
congressman who proved that dilly
dallying in the face of disaster was
criminal.
The house, which evidently didn't
think all the people who We're living

nevertheless. But wasn't it rather
disgraceful that there was an argu
ment about it?

BIGGEST BATTLE OF
WAR BEING FOUGHT
Germans Putting Best Foot Fore.
most to Capture French Fort
Verdm-Being Resisted


Strongly.
The big battle Of the war is now
being fought within five miles Of the
French fort, Verdlun. The Germans
have been concentrating their efforts
to take this stronghold, but yesterday
they received some reverses at the
hands of the French. 1t is claimed
by the Germans that If Verdun is cap
tured, the road Will practically be open
to Paris. The French OIL the other
hand say that Verdun is very CID
and out-Of-date fort and that its cap
ture will amount to very little. The
German line of advance Is twelve miles
long and is meeting with the most
stubborn resistance. The Germans
claim to have captured 22S officers and
16,575 men. B.
The Russians have succeeded in drt
wing back the Germans and advancing
their lines. The Russians also claim
that many thousands of Turks have
either been killed Or taken prisoners.
Today the Germans inaugurate their
new submarine policy which is to the
effect that they will attack, without
warning, all armed merchant ships
Of their enemies. Congress has be-
fore it a resolution asking that Ameri.
cans be warned not to take passage
on armed merchant ships. President
Wilson contends that this action would
be surrendering rights Of this Natior

sible for the lives of any American.
