BawaaaaaaaaaaaaBBl IS Committee Kills the em, The little life of the Williamsburg dispensary bill was ignominiously crushed out Tuesday afternoon by the House committee on Coun'ies. Cities and ns which refused to report the measure, letting it die, not peacefully, but silently. It re quired only a short hour or two tc do thc work, but it was effective. But it was about tne livehot thing that bas struck "ye ancient capital" in tbe past two years.

It stirred up the brethren and put a whole lot ot ginger in them. It made some othtrs sad, and sent toe exponents and opponents of (he proposed bi 1 racing about town day and night til) the fight was over. Monday evening several men went up to Richmond to get in the fray early, the bil having been set for hearing at 10 o'clock Tues? day morning. Bright and early on the latter day. some dozen or so of leading citizens, including the mayor and several members of the council, lawyers, business men.

et cetera, were scrambling for seats on the local train to get to the scene of the struggle on time. They all got there, made their little speeches, got the news that the bill was to sleep on ia the grave where a Hoover abd a Tyler had laid it several davs at? tar it was introduced, then as quietly and deter got back on thc train for Williamsburg. It reminds one of the army that marched up the hill and down again. Both ii dat had their petitions, find their speeches, but the had long since made up its minc thst there would oe no vote on qu stion Iv re, inasmuch as the stat was not to be allowed to vote on th statewide prohibition, I hey had be consistent. The bill was killer and that is about all there is to th story.

Those who spoke in favor of th adoption ot the bill were Messr: Warburton, Spencer and Peach: while Messrs. Ty.er and opposed it. It is learned the hearing that stveral other gentl men had speeches, but they did get an opportunity "to get them ofj on the committee, for wmcu bo the committee and those who the speeches ougut to be truly gra fat. In thc meantime, there are a wh lot of people who believe the co mutee acted unwisely while th is toother big batch of folks a think the contrary. Take choice of your crowd.

At 31 1 rr oi tn Ml Ec? ole Lu? cre rho our tton It was an irregular shaped 11 at seemed to be about three ires. I find by actual measure ent that there is in the lot just 3 3-4 acres, three quarters ot ri acre more than was supposed, i this lot is found about ail grades soil known in this part of I ountry. The richest part of I 3t lies on the county road on the lorthwest side of store building, ri is patt of the land is rich.

deep, liff soil. Being situated on the lorthwest side of store building here was not so much matured cot as was found on the other, the poorer parts of the lot. In lot there is a large reclaimed elsy gall ihat has never so thoroughly recUimed as to produce fall crop of snvthing. also there are four large fruit trees, under which nothing grew, and nnhug ever grows. The lot runs down to me woods where some large oak trees grow, ar which so drew on the fertility of the land that for a distance of about 30 feet but little cotton grew.

I find by reference to the rt cord kept of expenses I used more fer than I stated to some gentle? men short while ago. The land wss in aojs oeans in 1910. and previous to sowing the beans was limed and on the poorest had a lignt dressing of stable manure, no otner fertilizer. I tninl previous to this the land would havi produced about five or six barrel ot corn to the acre, without tr r. if well cultivated.

The follow i.jg expenses were incurred in prc auc.ig and harvesting the crop: Fallowing, discing and har? 7.C Paid Sm-Ams of Ral tor 1 1 2 cu. Ll Freight on same.5 Laying eff rows. Hired ne.p in planting. 2 9 12 bags $2 10 per bag. 19 Distributing fertilizer.

The last fertilizing was intended 3 benefit clover sown at laying by ii crop. It is not supposed that benefited the cotton little if any. This cotton was planked May 18, in the midst of a very dry spell, so dry that som: of it did not come up in four weeks. The crop might have been p.aned May 1. ard should have bern planted tl en.

It this had been oone the seeds woola have i ome up and the drouth would dot have retarded the growth but very li.tlc if any. as tbe plants have long tap roots that go down after the moisture to a much lower depth than most any other cultivated crop. I believe we can in this vicinity plant the crop with suety fit st of May, and when this is done the season will as a rule be long enough to make a paying crop. It we raise the crop and have it ginned in the county I am told that the present owners of the knitting mill stand ready to I it at market price, thus saving farmers the freight and commissions Tne writer thinks it would be I good thing for the community to gi into the business. The farmers seec ready to raise the crop provided K) gin is established in the county.

Crc 00 may fail some times on account 50 Ute springs. Suppose you go rig ahead, brother larmer, aud get yo 00 land ail ready, layed off, fertilize 00 and all but planting; tnen if weather on tne tirst ot May is cold or wet. wait a while, not la than the 15.

Then it conditions 00 still unfavorable you have the la ready to plant in corn. Ir you ma .76 an entire failure once in awn give up the crop, all crops fail so time. One caution I want to give LOO I don't put in too much cotton. seems to be the trouble with south now, too much cotton and bj enough other croos. It the writ humble opinion is worth anything har- would advise raising every year si If three or four money croos.
