SCARCITY OF
FARMLABOR
Corn SUII Stands In the Fields
ln Shocks,
PASTURES ARE VERY FINE
The Olrl Question of tlie Idenlity of the
Sora is Raised Agaln?Is it a Bird
or a Frog?Pcar Trees in Bloom
in King George.
(Speclal to Thc Tlmpp-Dlspntch.)
COMOKN, VA., October 3.-Some of thn
farmers han'e had to abandon thelr jilans
for seedlng a crop of small grain, becau.-n
they cannot proeure labor, on any terms,
to do the necessary work.
Tlie prellmlnary work of cuttlng down
th0 corn and romovlng It from tho soll
intended for wheat and oats, has not been
commenccd by any but that fortunate
class of farmers who can do thelr own
work, and It looks very much as lf those
?who nre dopendent entlrely upon hlred
labor wlll flnd thelr crop of corn retnaln
ing In the fleld, ungathcred, long after
the usual shucklng nnd houslng tlme haa
passed.
A large numbor of the colored laborers
leave here nbout the mlddlo of March
every year and work on truck farms, at
lumber mills nnd on rallroads up North
untll tho latter part of November. or the
lst of December, and then return here
to spend tho wlnter. But tho present un
preccdented scarclty of labor ls not due
entlrely to that fact. A good many Rbl.
bodled men remaln hero nll tho year
nround, and these could nearly or qulte
supply the demand for labor durlng the
buslest and most Important seasons, but
a majority of them decllne to bo hlred
by tlie farmers as of yoro.
AHE INDEPENDENT.
Mnny of thls class own llttlo homes,
and slnce they are no longer dependent
upon large land owners for sheltcr?sincu
they nre no longer |n danger of ha/vlng
to "move at the end o_ the yenr" for non
payment of rent?1_- r* aro Toth to hlro
themselves out for JV-m work.
Some of these ralse llttlo crops of thelr
own, whlch yleld barely enough to supply
thelr familles with broad durlng that
(Tiart of the wlnter when all work ls sus
pendea, and they work at the uaw-mills
and wlth cord wood and rallroad tle
dealers just enough to reallze sunMclent
money with whlch to buy somo other
necessarles of llfo. In thls way they make
out to live without hlring out to farmers.
It ls now a well recognlzed fact that
but very few colored laborers cfln be
hlred to do farm work after they become
proprletors of a home.
A movement ls on foot in somo parts of
the Northern Nock to lnrluce lmmlgratlon
to thls sectlon, wlth :i hopo of colonizlng
sufilclent lnbor for agricultural purposes.
Statements from farmers In all scc
tlons of Klng George show that the pas
tures are In much botter conditlon now
than ever before at the flrst of October.
Tho grass Is aa green and luxurlant as
lt was in May and June, and the eatllo
and other animals ln pastures nro un
usually fat nnd thrlfly. Somo few va
rletlcs of tender grass show the efferts
of early frost. but the gra_ing Is stlll
very fine, and tho Indlcatlons now are
that a mnjorlty of the pastures in thls
county wlll support cattlo untll lato in
November.
COWPEAS FOR HAY.
The peavlne hay crop in some parts ot
this county ls the heaviest grown here
slnce cowpetiB have been sown for hay
purposes. Many fields of it have been
mowed and put into staeks or Imrns to
be used ns provender the comlng wlnter.
For many years the tootsome little
sora. that infests the Rappahannock
marshes a short tlme overy autumn hus
been a much-dlscussed "blrd" or thing.
Manv hnvo contended that lt Is really
a "frog," and Is only transformod Into
a blrd for a short period durlng Sep?
tember and Ootober, whilo others havo
argued that it ls a blrd untll tho first
frost appears in autumn, and then tnkes
on the form of a frog, and remalns a
frog. Others havo declared that it Is
a real bird, and nothlng but a blrd, nll
the year 'round. It seems that for the
Ilrst tlme, some fortunate folks havo
made a dlscovery tliat must settle tho
question of the sora's Identlty beyond
all doubt. Tlwuv' have found sora? build?
ing nests, laylng. eggs-; slttlng on eggs and
Jiatchlng out thelr young Just as other
blrds lay, slt nnd hatcli out thelr young.

(Speclal to Tho Tlmes-Dispatch.)
YORKTOWN, VA., October 3.-Oyster
planters of thls vlclnlty are very much
doprossod over the present prospect of
obtalnlng a frosh stock of soed from the
Brcat Jnmos RK-er beds, tho present Bea
son. Tlie supply thoro even thls early
in tho season is entirely lnadequato to
the demand, and prices havo Jumped to
25 cents por bushel, as eompared wlth S
or 10 conts a fow years back. Rumors
have been In constant circulatlon durlng
tlio entlro summor of lllegal catchlng
ln tho close season, all regard for cull
law being ignorod, tho very rocks them?
solves bolng rotighly tonged in.
Tongmon who aro now worklng theso
rocks, nnd planters who are only able
to obtaln from flfty to seventy-fivc per
cent of n cargo while buylng, ha'i-o demon
strated these rumors to bo qulte near the
truth. These conditlons, together wlth
tho natural declino of productiveness of
tho beds themsolves, aro causlng the
planters no end of trouble. Thoso fact.
are gathored from tho planters dlrect,
who stato thoy will necessarlly havo to
nbandon a good deal of tlio bottom whlch
thoy now rent, belng unablo to plant
lt. The price is really prohlbltive, as 2c
conta por bushel, tho planters state ls
tho llmlt to the fl_uso for the planting
stock.
Every planter intervlowed by The
Times-Dlspatch man was unequivocaily
opposed to the Jordan blll of tho laat
Leglslature or any klndred measure of
its kind. Thelr reasons stated aro to the
effect that if the Baylor survoy he
broken, lt will lead to a monopoly of the
soed supply by a chosen fow and conse
quently prohlbltive prices. Theso gentlo
men also are of the impresslon that all
tho avallable bottom which mlght be
thrown open to the publlc by any meas?
ure of tho Jordan klnd, has already beon
appllod for, to the excluslon of any, but
a favorable fow.
The price of the blvalve wlll be great?
ly advanced thls season and contlnue to
becomo moro costly with each recurrlng
year. Planters and tongmen alike are
positlve In thelr dcclaration of the rapld
fallure of the greatest staple of Eastern
Vlrglnla, the meek and lowly, but much
abuaed oyster.
TOMATO CANNING.
The new cannlng factory built nnd put
into operatlon by Mr. H. M. Clements nt
Lee Hall is Just about closing a very
busy season, its inltial one. Tomatoes
alono have been handled, of which about
150,000 cans havo been put up. Mr. XX. H.
Mann, an exporlonced procosser, from
Baltlmore, has had the plant ln chargo
ond tho two brnnds, Eureka and Prldo
of Warwlck, are cholco goods, Indeed.
Tlie frult ralsed has been excoptlonally
flne. ln splto of adverse seasons and lack
of experience on the farmers' part. Grow
ing tomatoos for thls purpose ls falrly
profltable, one farmer. Mr. E. T. Leo,
havlng ralsed 350 pounds off of one aore,
maklng a yleld of about $70, whereas com
would havo been considerably less. An
inducemont to the raislng of tomatoes Is
tho fact that they recuperate tho soll
rather than detract.
Tho Leo Hall plant has run about flfty
hands durlng the season, and will en
large by next year so as to handle all
the vegotables, suoh as corn, peas, &o.,
ln whlch thls section abounds.
The Old Dominion Land Company, of
Nowport News, are undertaklng to nulld

nnd up-to-dato kleas. About 100 ncres on
the southeastern slde of the Chosapeako

hlghway connecting tho village wlth
Sklpp's Creok. about a quarter of a mile

of a complete sanltary system. An ar

oonter, and use a portlon of the grounds
for resldonces of employes. The station
at present handles an immense amount
of freight, and Is one of the best paylng
on tho road. The efforts to establlsh a

aro still bolng pressed, athongh as yet
tho matter Is only ln Its infancy.

ovarian inflainmation follow. Finally the nerves weaken and the whole sys?
tem has become affected and the pains rack the body from head to foot.
If a healthy woman were suddenly reduced to this terrible condition she would be driven to des
peration and she would be willing to take even the srnallest chance of securing relief. But female ? ., ,- Vi,
diseases advance so gradually it is hard for a woman to reallze just how serious is her condition. Wine ? i<r_K-^r".
of Cardui is a nienstrual^egulator of established reputation. No woman who takes it suffers as Mrs.
Nelson suffered, It gives speedy and complete relief from the torturing menstrual agonies which are mak?
ing so many woman mvalid. to-day. Do not let yourself come to the pitiable condition Mrs. Nelson de?
scribcs. Secure a bottl? of Wine of Cardui from your druggist to-day and begin the treatment immcdiately.

TLLTER THROWN.
Mr. John Hudglns, a popular and well
known young man llving in the eastern
end of tho county, while praoticlng tlit
lng for a local tournament, his horse shlect
and threw him head flrst against a fenco
post and plumb into a barbed-wire fonce.
X-Xe was knocked unconscious, and re
celved several cuts about the head and
limbs by the barbed-wlre. Ho wns nlcked
up unconscious by Dr. J. XV. McAllister,
who treated hlm, and carried him home
in his buggy. While palnfully hurt, hls
condltlon Is not serlous, and at this wrlt
lng ho is constderod out of danger. The
horso also got tho full beneflt of the
muruerous wire, and suffered some se
vere wounds.

refused for varlous reasons, but not a
Blngle white man was turned down. .
Corn foddor is brlnging exceptionally

or cattle to carry through the wintor.
Farmers report that thev have been utter
ly unable to save the crop for entire lack
of help, and tho valuable forago has
simply wltheisd up and blown off by
the wlnd. Was It not for the fact that a
very large amount of hay Is now being
ralsed, stoek would suffer for long foed.
