IPljLOVER
Should Be Used by Farmers of
the County to Restore Soil
Says County Agent.
(By W. I). Kinii, County Agent.)
I want to call the attention of the
[armers to a clover that has made its j
appearance in the southern part of,
tills county at Mineral. It is called
Japan clover. Twenty years ago It
was discovered in the southern part
af the state in Boone. Logan, Mingo
and other counties. It Is an annual,
coming every year from the seed. Iti
docs not come up until late in the'
spring but it grows when many of the!
rrassos do not. It will grow on!
ra? -? ?. - washed
places and on the thinnest
kind of land. "We liaye in Harrison
county thousands of acres of west
nnd southwest land that now is producing
hut little. If Japan clover can
be grown this land can be made productive.
Unlike many other legumes it does
not seem to require either inoculation
or lime. It is a splendid soil Improver
judging by the number of
noddules on the roots.
If a small amount of seed, say Ave
pounds per acre are so^vn, in a few
years it will cover the bare fields. It
furnishes a very nutritious pasture
for stock Tor it Is very rich in protein.
The seed can be had at any
seed houses and usually costs about
twenty-five cents per pound. Buy
scarified seed if it can be had. Sowonly
on thin land where blue grass Is
not growing*Sow it any time after the
first of January, but not later than
February 15. When the seed falls off
in the fall it lies on the gTound until
spring and by sowing the seed early
we are following nature's methods.

CONGRfllULflTED
Is Congressman Bowers by His
Recent Opponent, Sam V.
Woods, of Philippi.
f?pCCIAL TO TMK t?V4IVAM)
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.?Any
fears that Congressman George M.
Bowers of the Second district may
have had that his election might be
contested have vanished In the receipt
of a very welcome letter of congratulation
from Samuel V.
Woods, of Phlllppt, who was the Democratic
candidate. The letter was
brief and customarily formal, but formally
cordial at that. There were reports
of a contest In that district, but
it seems now that there was no foundation
for them. Mr. Woods was the
opponent of Colonel Bowers at the
special election last May occasioned
by the necessity of filling a vacancy
caused by the death of "Junior"
Brown, as well as the opponent ol
Colonel Bowers in the regular election
last month.

DEMOCRATS
(Continued from Pago 1.)
state's politicians here to be behind
this underhanded anonymous and insinuating
attack upon Senator GoiT.
If this view taken of It is in a gonoral
way correct, thoro Isn't the remotest
likelihood of the partisan
Democratic scheme prevailing. If at
any time during his term of otllce.
Senator Goff entertained the thought J
of resigning from the Senato on ae-i
count of the condition of his heatlh,
I which close friends know from his
j own lips was never the case, he would
uot under present conditions act up-;
on it now. The political reasons areobvious,
and the personal reasons are!
that Senator Goff s health Is greatly
improved and his long and distinguished
career as soldier, statesman
and Jurist contains nothing to indicate
that he would retire under lire
or budge an Inch In response if It
were known that ho had It in mind
to retire from tlio Senato, it would
be stoutly opposed by Republican
leaders in both the national and state !
organizations. They appreciate the
situation too clearly and would vigorously
oppose running the risk of a
special election In West Virginia at.
this time, especially when there Is no ;
necessity for taking that risk; But. ,
as his friends know, there is and will
be no occasion t'or that advice to be
given. Senator Goff is not going to
resign and has never had any such
intention of doing so at any time sinco
his unanimous election by his party
in 1913. There will be no senatorship
hung up in West Virginia to bo
battled over this year, due to Senator
Uoir resigning. me pouucai situation
Is such that ho could hardly place
Ilia party in sucla an undesirable predicament
if he really wauled to retire
from public olflco, which Isn't now the
case nor has it ever been.
Aside from the few Democratic
leaders presumed to be interested it
Is exceedingly doubtrul if the voters
of the state,,no matter to which party
they belong, would welcome another
statewide campaign unnecessarily
precipitated. It is assumed tlint the
people of the state desire a rest from
campaigns until one comos around in
Its regular order. It is absolutely a
certainty that there isn't a man connected
with the party organization of
the Republicans in "West Virginia who!
would want to see Senator Goff hand
in bis resignation. They would be
actively and audibly opposed to any
such action on his part. Plainly stated,
and bluntly, they feel th,at their
party Is in no condition to frivol with
that extra hazard when there is no
reason why it should.
So far as a resignation from him Is
concerned, Nathan*Goff will.continue
a United States senator until his term
expires March 4. 1910.
