undecided. the best that the demo-
Gratis could claim at midnight was
plurality of four votes In the
House.
Upon the basis of returns the democrats
have elected 215 members of the House
and the republicans I'll. In addition there
have been elected one Independent, one
socialist, one progressive and one pro-
gressive-protectionist -Four districts in
West Virginia, two of them normally
democratic and two republican, and one
district in New Mexico, are still unde-
cided. If these districts do not change
the democrats will have 217 and the re-
publicans 214, plurality of only three.
AS there will be four members of other
minority parties a working majority for
the democrats Is improbable unless some
OF the minority members should choose
to cast their lot with the administration
forces.

BEFORE SPRING WORK BEGINS

II 10 Wise to Scatter Asrnyard Ma
nure Over the Fields.
According to Professor Nj. Miller
of the Missouri experiment station. II
is a wise practice to scatter barnyard
manure over the fields before spring
work on the land begins II this is
done little plant food will be lost
either as the result of washing or Of
fermentation.
Greater returns per ton are secured
by light, evenly scattered applications
over a large area instead of heavy,
irregular scattering over smaller
acreage. says Professor Miller. For
this reason the spreader will soon pay
for itself on farms of 100 acres or
more simply by increasing the returns
per ton from the manure, to say moth
ing Of the saving In labor.
II possible it is better to use the
spreader because. first, it saves work
second, 1t makes 1t more likely the ma
nure will be saved and scattered
promptly, and, third. most important of
all, it makes possible the even scatter
ing which is so desirable II the full

station will be accessible to the grow

easily reached by direct street car

While the building of this station

Richmond will not have a Grand

mean that we may not have one In
the reasonably near future. The
Frayser plan, or some similar plan, to

may yet be realized. Some OF the
most far-sighted OF our business men
and some OF the most largely interest
ed railroad men are already at work
with this end in view.
The Virginian has always insisted
that Richmond should have a great
Union Station. Our opinion lis not
changed. And we are still hopeful.
