CHURCH WORK ON CAvITTS
CREEK.

Editor the News: l shall inform
you of our church work here at Cav
ats Creek and shall be glad indeed
if you will please make this known to
others through the Clinch Valley
News.
The Sunday School of Cavitt's Creek
Union church is preparing Easter ex-
ercises, to be rendered on Sunday
morning, April 3rd, service beginning
at 10 o'clock. Immediately after the
the Sunday school services in the
same hurch the Rev. w. w. Yost will
preach an Easter sermon. Rev. Mr..
Yost has been faithfully preaching
in this church once each month for
more than two years.
Very few have shown him their
appreciation in the way of financial
aid OF even with their presence.
Our Sunday School has prevented
from entire disbandonment during the
winter months by interest and atten-
dance of only very few faithful
members.
May we not be disappointed in our
hopes for a deeper interest shown
and good attendance during the spring
and summer months.
Everybody is invited to attend the
Easter services in the church and we
ask the members of the community
and others who desire to bring a
pound OF more of groceries, etc, that
we may give Brother Yost generous
pounding to show our appreciation OF
services rendered to us. He has
regular appointment here for each
month.
Rev. R. Homer Anderson, who has
charge of the Burke's Garden and
Tazewell pastorate, preached a few
times in the afternoons in this Union
church last fall. We hope he will be-
gin preaching here again soon.
MRS. CHAS. SLUSS.

THE FERTILIZER QUESTION.

(By James l.. Montague, County Ag-
ricultural Agent.)
More is said and less is known, about
fertilizers than any other agricultural
commodity which has as large field
of usefulness. The increase in price
of fertilizers should cause many of
the farmers to make more careful
study of the ingredients which are
bought in commercial fertilizers, but
such education is costly.
When buying fertilizers it is well
to consider few fundamental facts.
Potash can hardly be secured at
all. 1t is the least important of the
three plant foods-potash, nitrogen,
nitrogen or PHOSPHORUS, this being
especially true where soils contain
clay. The only source for the farmer
this year is his wood ashes. Keep
them dry. Nitrogen costs about zoe
per pound. That is about $4,000 per
ton for each 1 per cent of nitrogen
,dded. Where rotation including
oe paid to nitrate fertilizers. If used
1t all, this fertilizer pays best when
applied to meadows.
Phosphoric acid in bone meal costs
6 1-2c per pound. In 16 per cent acid
phosphate it costs little less than
5 8-10c per pound. To economize on
the use of bone meal, the following
is suggested: Apply 16 per cent.
acid phosphate broadcast on corn
land. If corn is followed with oats,
or wheat alone, use the same fer
tilizer as for corn. Wen the land is
seeded to small grain and grass. give
an application of equal parts of bone
meal and acid phosphate. The advan-
tage of bone meal is it's lasting eff
fects which help the grass. Where
the meadows are top-dressed with
manure or acid phosphate, the bone
mean can well be omitted. This use
Of lime in any of it's forms will also
allow us to replace bone meal with
acid phosphate. dissolved" or "treat-
ed" bone should never be bought, as it
is virtually the same things as acid
phosphate and costs much more.
Steamed bone meal is quicker availa-
BILE than the raw bone.
To get the best results from any
fertilizer, the land should be well
prepared as the final yield of crop
depneds upon many factors, as season,
moisture, cultivation, diseases, in
sects, amount Of plant food present,
etc.
Don't buy fertilizer by the "Brand"
on the bag. The composition of many
brands have been changed this year.
Look for the analysis and not the
brand. The analysis guarantees; the
brand merely is pleasing trade

Not Felt at Pocahonlas.

Pocahontas, April 13.-The blow
ing up of the powder mill at Nemours
was close enough TO Pocahontas to do
considerable damage, but the noun
tain evidently broke the force of the
explosion, for there was not house
damaged; in fact, a large majority
of the. people here knew nothing of
it until after day, as it did not arouse
them from sleep. 1t is not more than
two miles and quarter in direct
line from here to Nemours, but sew
cral mountains intervene. The first
two explosions produced luminous
flame, and the light was sufficient tc
penetrate the rooms of the dwell
ings. The third was blue light. an6
entirely different from the others.
The first explosions were decidedly

WILL THERE BE A SPECIAL
TERM OF COURT2

Several Of the Pocahontns and
Clear Fork District citizens attend
ed tho meeting Of tho Bonrd of Su-
pervisors on Tuesday in tho interest
OF nm carly commencement OF road
Improvement under the recent bond
issue. On the motion of these citi-
Zcns the Board Of Supervisors enter
cd an order requesting Judge Keg-
ley TO forthwith call u special term Of
court and confirm the recent election
in order that the bonds might be is
sued and sold without delay. How
ever, there is some doubt rs to wheth-
cr or not the court can net Oh the
matter Mt special term called for
that purpose. Tho bond issue law
provides that in case the people vote
in favor Of issuing the bonds, I" the
Circuit Court shall, ut it's next term,
enter of record an order requiring
the Supervisors of the county To
proceed ut their next meeting to
carry out the wishes Of the voters
as expressed Mt tho said election"
The question of law presented is,
does the expression that tho court
shall enter said order "at its next
term" mean the next term fi&bti by
law, or does it mean any special term
that the court might call for the
purpose? The matter has been re-
ferred to Judge Kegley for his de-
cision. Nothing should be done that
would initiate against sale of bonds
and if there is any doubt about the
legality Of passing on the matter at
q special term Of court, it should be
allowed TO go over. Tho probability
is there will be no bond issue funds
in hand before July 1st, if the special
term is not called.
