K\perlrnccd Speakers. The agricultural train was in charge < f Charles A. Miller, of Riehmond, who represented Commissioner K?lner, of the Department of Agriculture. As? sisting him in expounding the doc? trine ' of scientific methods to be fol? lowed in increastng tho yield of farm crops were .1. F. Gordon, of James? town. CK. whose subject was corn cul? tivation and soil fertility; il. 1-'. .smith, of Martinsbtirg. W. Va.. apple growing and other branches ot horticulture: and W. W. siproul, of Augusta county, Va., potato growing as a money crop. All of the lecturers are recognized authori? ties on agriculture, being practical farmers in every way proficient to of? fer suggestions*that will benefit farm? ing conditions. From every viewpoint the officers of ;'-,<- department state that the meeting just closed has proven one of tho most successful ever begun in Virginia. The farmers of the ShenandoJih Valley showed marked interest at every stop made and at a number of the stations it wits found necessary to deliver sev? eral lectures simultaneously. At sev? eral places school children were given a recess in order that they might be.af; forded an opportunity to visit the train in a body. This interest was?iipt con? fined to the scholars of primaaSBgr.ide.-. however, for mingled among Vfie audi? ences at the larger stops were st ti? de:;,s of tin- high and normal schools. The lecturers had chosen their sub? jects witli a view to discussing the features of farming of greatest mo? ment to the section of the State visit.-d. For the women who attended the lecture, . caches talks on poultry ?\\oro made. The fruit crops of the Shrnamloah Valley are now recognized far and wide for their excellence and superior quality, and with a view to improving this crop no effort was spared to pro? cure expert advice on horticulture. Ap? ples from the Shenandoah Valley have been awarded premiums nt the leading apple shows of the country. Care of Orchards. Mr. Smith discussed the selection of llie different varieties of fruit for I planting, the care of the trees, diseases ' and infectious to he combated and the preparation of the fruit for market, lie said that the matter of selecting the varieties of apples that thrived host in the Valley was largely a matter of 1 personal preferment. The " Vellow Transparent'* and "Maiden Blush" do well in Virginia, as summer apples, and '?Grimes Golden" as a fall apple. As a winter apple. he recommended the "Stayman Winevap," "Black Twig" and '.'York Imperial" as leading- varieties. Mr. Smith gave his audiences the nonc iit of bis expert knowledge on orchard care and coping with the agencies of fruit destruction?San Jose scale, cedar ' rust, coddling- moth. etc. The lec? turer, in addition, explained the im? proved methods of planting orchards, also the fertilization of the soil. The most effective method of exterminat? ing these tree pests, the lecturer as? serted, was to spray the tree very thor? oughly, and certainly once in the win? ter for scale and in soring and summer for the coddling moth and insects gen? erally. He gave the spray formuln as fol? lows: For San Jose scale, in winter, when there are no leaves, one gallon of lime sulphur, stock solution, in ten gallons of water. For other pests, when leaves are on trees, tho solu? tion should be weaker, containing one gallon of lime sulphur solution to fifty gallons of water, with two pounds of arsenate lead added. j Preparation for Crop. J Mr. Gordon in his lectures impressed upon tho farmers tlie Important apoko they comprise In the wheel of Amer? ican commerce, urging upon them to leave nothing undone to elevate, agri? culture to its rightful position among the. professions. In the preparation of tho soil for n corn crop Jie recommended sowing leguminous plants whleh transmit nitrogen into the ground. Crimson clover, cow peas and soja beans, ho said, were the best legumes to grow on land to gather nitrogen for the corn crops, the crimson clover, to be turned under, in early spring in preparation for the corn. Mr. Gordon laid much stress on the selection of seed corn, cnutlonlng against injuring- the root, system of the plants with implements used in working the corn. A recent experiment, with good care of seed gave a yield ot eighteen bushel* more per acre than seed left in corn crib. Mr. Sproul, who Is a member of the Slate Board of Agriculture, wont; into , the growing of potatoes with thor? oughness. Numbers of farmers who comprised Iiis audiences during the three-day trip are beginning to take ?an interest in growing potatoes and are impressed with their possibilities] its a money-maker. Like Mr. Gordon, I Mr. SprOUl also referred to the aVail | ability of legumes as a soil fertiliser. j Potatoes require more humus than al? most any farm crop. Seed potato tjolcc ! tion should be made with great care j in order to obtain a large yield, add at the sumo/time a superior quality of ? vegetable. Tho lecturer advised the farmer to plant potato rows three feet. I apart, the seed to a depth of four inches below the surface, and adyls I ing that potatoes should always re? ceive several spray applications of Bordeaux mixture. A number of Baltimore and Ohio ofii- j cers from headquarters accompanied the train, including George ? Camp? bell, assistant to the president; W. \V. Wood, general Industrial agent: Ben? jamin S. Ob'wdcll, traveling freight agent, and C: w. Allen. traveling pas? senger agent. Both Mr. Campbell and Mr. Wood add reset! the audiences at a j number of stations along the route.

PROTEST AGAINST Man on Scene of Crime Tells of Stripling's Murder of Cornette. Protest against the pardon of Thorns? Edgar Stripling, who as R. E. Morris was for some years Chief of Police of Danville, and who was recently taken back to Georgiu to serve a. life term in the penitentiary for murder, has been made by i"J. L. Irvin. of Chioley. 'Ja. Mr. irvin says in a letter that be was one of those who sat uu with the body ot w. j.

Per? sonally, says Mr. Irvin. he does not believe .Judge Gtlberti the trial judge, will indorse the petition, nor that Gov? ernor Brown will srlve his assent to a pa rdon.
