UNION COUNTY VOTE.
HHms, Murphy, Tatum, Craig, Yocum, Karris
and Armstrong Win Nominations.
The Democratic primary Wednes
day passed off quietly, but the
largest vote was recorded in the
history of the county. We give be
low the unofficial vote of the entire
county and also the vote of the
Huttig box.
Kirby for senator, Warnock for
congress, Hodges for secretary of
state, McCain for auditor, Cook for
superintendent of public instruc
tion, McKnight for railroad com
missioner and Stevens for chan
cellor all carried the county by
good majorities.
The following were the success
ful candidates for the nomination
for county offices: Helms for rep
resentative. "Murphy for circuit
cl^rk, Tatum for county clerk,
Craig for treasurer, Yocum for
county Judge. Harris for tax as
sessor and Armstrong for surveyor.
Both sides are claiming a victory
in tbe senatorial race between
Ciarke and Kirby and it will proba
bly be several days before the re
sult is known for certain.
Both Goodwin and Warnock are
claiming the nomination for con
gress. with the outlook in favor of
Goodwin.
The indications are that J. Y.
Stevens has defeated Judge J. M.
Barker for chancellor by a safe ma
jority in the district.
The vote for county clerk is so
close that the official count may
change the result enough to let
Goodwin or Crai t in.
Following is the unofficial vote
of the county and the vote of the
Huttig box:

Country Bovs' Creed for Young Farmers. (
In every schoolhouse in Prince
| Edward county. Va.. a placard con
taining a creed for the American
| country boy and dedicated to the
Boys' Corn Club of Virginia has
; been posted. It reads:
“country boys' creed.
“1 believe the country which God
‘made is more beautiful than the
city which man made; that life out
of door§ and-in topch. with the
earth is the natural life of man. I
I
I believe that work with nature is
more inspiring than work with the
most intricate machinery. I be
lieve that the dignity of labor de
1 pends not on what you do. but how
! you do it; that opportunity comes
i to the boy on the farm as often as '
to a boy in the city; that life is larg
er and freer and happier on the |
farm than in the town; that my
success depends not upon my lo
cation, but upon myself; not upon
my dreams, but upon what 1 actu
ally do; not upon luck, but upon .
pluck. I believe in working whenj
you work and in playing when you
play, and in giving and demanding a
square deal in every act of life.”

tltments of Plant food.
The soil is the basis of operation ,
in a!! agricultura' work. The soil.!
or the dirt of which your land is;
made, contains those elements of I
nature required to make vegetable
matter or plants grow. The soil
then is a repository or storehouse
for plant food. The soil itself does
not grow plants. The elements of
nature are stored in the soil. The
moisture or water and warmth in
the soil germinates or sprouts the
s^ed and the plant "comes up." so
to speak. Sand would serve the
same purpose. When the seed
sprouts, the seed itself seems to
decay and pass away. It doing so
it gives a certain amount of plant
food, sufficient to sustain life in
the young plant until its small roots j
begin to develop. Then the plant
draws plant food from the soil and 1
gets its sustenance. If a seed
sprouts and comes up in cl^an
white sand it will look healthy and '
vigorous at first, but soon d es. be
cause there is no plant food for it 1
If it sprouts in the soil it will grow i
and thrive in proportion to the
available plant food in the soil, if 1
properly cultivated. i
There are ten elements of nature
in the soil on which plants feed and
live and grow. Heat, light and air
also are necessary. These are
drawn from above. Of the ele
ments of nature in the soil, all
soils contain enough of each one
exceDt tour nitrogen, phosphorus, ■
potash and lime. If only one of
these elements were absent the
plant would not grow. If there is
a small amount of any one element
in proportion to the others the
p’ants. no matter what they are,
will not do well. This will explain
why some soils will make good
drop's and others will not. Differ
ent crops also require differently
proport'oned quantities of these
elements, known as plant food.
Thus a soil may produce a fine crop
of grapes and a poor crop of corn,
cotton or oats.
The plants gather their own
plant food through their tiny roots.
To gather the plant food there must
be moisture. The plants require a
great deal of water, but to thrive
the water must contain the plant
food, or elements of nature. Too
much water prevents the plants
from getting the proper proportion
of plant food, or enough of it. If
the plants grow too large and rank
and do not put on enough fruit or
seed, it is an indication that there
is too much nitrogen in proportion
to phosphorus and potash. If the
plants are small and scrawny under
favorable conditions it means a lack
of nitrogen. If you use fertilizer
remember these facts when you
buy or use it.
The land should be plowed deep
in the fall or winter and made loose
in the spring before planting, so the
ground will hold plenty of moisture
and so the small roots ofjthe plants
can find their way in all directions
in search of plant food. If manure
is used it should be thoroughly
mixed in the soil. The small roots
will find their way to it and gather
the plant food. The plant food is
taken up by the small hair-like
roots. Remember that these roots
extend out and away from the
plant. So you see that putting ma
nure or fertilizer in the hill where
the seed is planted is not the best.
In cultivating a crop the weeds and
grass should be kept out. because i
they take up the pla it food tnat j
the plants should have, and shade
and choke them, too. The soil
should be loose and mellow at
planting time so it will not be nec
essary to stir it deep and break up
the roots that are later on gather
ing plant food. The soil should be
cultivated shallow to keep the
weeds and grass out. and. too. keep
the top soil pulverized so the sun
will not draw out the moisture from i
below. Moisture will not evapo-.i
rate through dust When the sur- ,
face is allowed to become firm,1
capi'laries will form and moicture
from below will - vaporate. and
without moisture the p: ■ ts cannot
live and thrive or gather those ele
ments of nature necessary to make
them grow end make fruit o: s ed.
By keeping these things in mi"d
and applying your own good judg
ment coming from experience i
-rust the readers of this will be
senefitted m making their cro;s
.he coming season.

HAD A SPEF.CH IMPEDIMENT
Demosthenes the Orator Trained Him
self to Speak by Carrying Peb
bles in His Moutri.
Demosthenes was a great. orator
For many years tie suffered from an
impediment rn his speech, even before
the wine course had been served at j
dinner.
So he trained himself rn speak by
carrying pebbles in his mouth
Many of our public speakers might
adopt this method. If they had a
derrick and one or two pieces of
chiproek rolling around over iheir
molars they would not talk so long.
Demosthenes did not attain much
fame as a speaker until tie hit on the
happy thought of whacking the table
with his fist and announcing in bold
tones that two and two made four,
that the sun rose in the east, that the
old flag floated above us. and that hon
esty was the best policy.
From that day forth his tyme was
made.
When he would arise calmly, smooth
down his toga over his bay window, ,j
clear his throat., bow and say: 'Mr.
Toastmaster and Gentlemen: I did
not expect to he called upon to speak
when I came here tonight, and In con
sequence am absolutely unprepared to
address so brilliant an audieqce but
there are one or two thought! which
have occurred to me while listening
to the talented orators who have
spoken, and with your indulgence I
will,” etc., the audience settled hack
in its seats and prepared to enjoy it
■self.
Demosthenes never told the story
ibout the man who ate horseradish for |
;he first time. He could lis en with
nut impatience while some one taik
?d two hours to make a ten minutt j
speech.
