THE NEGATIVE SIDE OF THE QUESTION

High schools Of Minnesota have
selected the question Of Philippine
Independence for their state debating
contest this year. and that several
other states. are planning to adopt the
same subject for debate.
In this connection. there is more
than passing significance in the state
mcnt sent us by the reference libra
rian OF Minnesota: 1T seems es-
pectally difficult to secure natcria,
for the negative side of the question. -
Probably any trained investigator,
unbiased by ~elash interest and long
standing prejudice. would come to the
same conclusion. He would naturally

GRAVE ROBBERS"

The prohibition officers down about
Roanoke have stepped in the limelight
IN not very commendable manner.
In their zeal for tie Inv they hold
up casket in the baggage room at
the depot, suspecting that it con-
tanned BOOZE" inasmuch us it was
shipped from Baltimore, the chief
boozorium of the South. The officers
found not booze but corpse, the
body OF man shipped from Balti-
more to his old home at Norton for
burial. The chagrin of these officers
can better be imagined than describ-
ed. They consoled thmsclves on the
ground that they were doing what
they considered to be their duty.
Jealous officers are necessary and
needed in this State everywhere, they
should have at least common sense.
Zeal is good thing, but "a zeal not
according to knowledge" is bnd
thing. Such acts MS this, and prohi-
bition officers nosing around in pri-
waite homes on bare suspicion, tends
to make prohibition unpopular even
among its friends.

The necessity for Il league Of ma

felt so positively by those of ua

ask the boys and men who have been

ror of it ali. TO man they will say,

vent another war. If another war
should occur within the next hundred

IMPOVERISHED PASTURE LANDS

Prof. w. F. Massey, regarded as
high authority, says, according to the
Southern Planter:
"Few farmers realize that while
grass may be help to the land, the
running OF land in pasture, constant
~ fed on stock, is Il good way to run
down the fertility Of the land. espe-
cia!ly in phosphatcs. Treated in this
way, the hill pasture soon becomes
southern pasturc--a place where
10 grass grows"
Brother Massey is away off unless
he excerpts, in this sweeping state
ment. the bluegrass pastures OF
Southwest Virginia. We can show
him pastures here that have fatten-
ed export cattle and grazcd milk
cows for fifty years, and ere as good
or better than mt first.
Some of the finest pasture lands in
this section never had Il pillow on
them, certainly not within the past
hundred years. No explanation is of
fered here, only the facts stated. Our
distinguished agriculturist should.
have qualified his statement and not
laid himself open to the charge of
talking through his hat.

WINTER LINGERING.

The cold weather of the past ten
days was no surprise after Il very
mild winter. The weather man is cv-
ening things up, giving us our share
and our portion in due time. March is
not to be trusted from one end OF the
row to the other. The man who keeps
his coat hanging on the plow handles
or on the names, is wise man. 1t
is feared that early fruit has been in
Jared by the freezes of several nights
recently. Perhaps. but late fruit has
been held back. The farmers are like
iy to be rushed when the weather OBJ
ems up. Many of them let the good
weather go by and did no plowing.
sowing outs and following for corn
should ali be finished within the next
thirty days, and this will take hust-
ling. "a bigger and better crop this
year." is the slogan. Good prices
Will continue. The prudent farmer
will make every edge cut that will.
and that that wont cut make it bruise
