A An otou Group or -nique ldin j. o the Janestown EXPosition.. Nddfolk, Va', July 2.-The first buildl gS to be. dompleted 'at James town EXiositfiol - present a unique group,. called the Arts and Crafts Villinge. In .the early colonial. days inen and woinen made by hand almost every, article which entered into the. furnishing of t1ieir houses and the providing. of their weariig appearel and even 'for their ornaments. And before the landing of the whites in America thb Indians made with their own hands their ilothing, cooking utensils, baskets, pottery and objects of otnaments for their persons and for their tepees. Some of these things are now wortlh their weight in gold and are in great demand by those who appreciate art and things artis tic. Perhaps the whites never assimilat ed the artistic ifstinets of the savages in the making of useful objects or that the artistic ideas of the moro civilized race found expression through other mediums. At all events the whites fell short of the Indian in handwork. Some very fine -speci mens of workmanship liowever, were produced by the early settlers of America. Whi le the rudest couches, tables and chairs might suffice for Jhon Smith and his followers, the advent of gentle woman at Jamestown charg ed the coplexion of'things and ereat ed a demand for articles of beauty and art the manner - of making these things and the articles them, selves are to be shown at the James town Exposition inl the Arts and Crafts Village. In tihe cotton states of the South the cotton was carded, bein. aone by hand. This was for the smnmer cloth in. Wool was washed, carded, spun and woven *into winter wearing ma terial, also without tle aid of machin ery.' In those days the spinning wheel and tihe old hand loom were objects of use and not .rnament. Hand made carpets of ortestic design and superior workmanship . were in . general use, where the household were wealthy enough to afford such a lux ury. In the Textile Building of the Arts and Crafts Village will be seen this work and the fruits of the old hand loom. Carpets, rugs, blankets, shawls, lindseys, woolseys, towels, cottonades and numerous other arti cles made fr6nm cotton and wool will he lade the oldlen way at the James town Exposition. The carding room, he spinning room, the weaving room and( the dye honse will all lie as they were in centuries gone liy. Thme Tronl Workers huilding will coni ain .much of interest in the wvay of quaint andirons, door knockers, knobs, hitching posts and other articles of common use in the oldl colonial days. The Copper, Silver and Wood1 working shops, the largest of the Village, will show how chairs, tables and other articles of wood and many things madle of silver and copper were made in the olden times. In the Pottery building will be made beautiful Tndian pottery of unique designs molded by hand gnad art istioahly colored and finished. The Pottery building and the Iron-wvork cers' building are each 48X50 feet. The Textile buildimig is 53X88 feet, and lie Copper, 'Silver and Woodworking shops are 44X137 feet. These pretty buildings are in theniselves works of art and peculiar attractiveness and are so unique as to exe.ile general admiration. Thus,' the Jamestown Exposition will interjiect a phase of the seven teenth century into the twentieth cen tury and will show the changes which three hundred years have made inl the mnechanieal world. What is shown here may inoulcnte an artistic spirit inL modern manufacture and at the same time teach the user 'of home made articles the value of 'them and make him proud of wecaring the best that is made.

S Ri Baga Turnips. t*el ow to Prepare pide of stubble iand for turnips. We Ii#v4 ot made fallur'e vith Etta Baga trugls in many years--by fol lowing this rule, viz., b6gin now by turning under the stubble and growth, then harrow smooth and then roll, or press, the soil down well with- a smoothing board. If you are to use stilble manure this should -have been appliod broadcast before turning the land. If you are to use commercial fertilize's we have found the folloiv ing applieation about right on lands growing about from 1,200 . to 1,500 pounds .Gccd cot ton per acre: 10-4 acid phosphate, 600 pounds; cotton meal, 200 pounds; Kainit, 100 pounds. This fertilizer should be Avorked in the land about 10th August and cul tivators or dise harrow run over the land at least once in eyery. 10 (lays from time of breaking the land until last of August, when the land will be in thorough order and in fine fix to receive the seed. Work off rows about 20 inches wide drill the seed in the open trench and cover by running a common wheelbarrow down the trench. The Truckling Farmer. This disgraceful habit of farmers truckling and catering around after others to attend to the farmer'' own business is as old as the hills and as shimeful as it is old. If the farming class were weak in inumbers, wealth and their natural advantages, there might be some excuse for farmers to be everlasting truckling around after some other set of men to help them. But what is the real status of the wealth. natural gifts of the farmers, calling. and his dormant numerical power? Go to the statistical record and you will see that the farmers of our country not only outilniber all others in his voting powers, but lie also has in his farming business about four times the amount of wealth that there is engaged in all our manufac turing interest combined! It always did make Inc lot in the collar to see a great giant at school play pleading to the small boy to give him room %when his natural gifts were of more powei-properly used-than two small boys. But for the hick of proper training pluck and energy these giants are like the farmers class-for the lack of training they (14) not know how to use their natural gift,s of power. Pricing Your Own Wares. Farmers know too much about how to roduce large crops of cotton a11 too little about how toI get a prmice for their nmoney er'op after it is made. What dhes it profit or bienefit the far mcir to make a fine crop if some other crowd1 gets all the profits? This teaching of a one-sided1 edluea ion of-thle farmer is all wrong; most anmy conmmon elod hopper or' free neg ro can make a profitable crop of cotton, but' it takes entirely a differ ('nt management to plaice this cotton upon01 the market in a way so As turn these priofits into the pockets of the prIoducer instead1 of thme coffers of those who toil niot but who does know how .to spin the pr'ofit out of the far mer's' hands into their own. Most any farmer's son knows mor'e about gathering chestniuts than to go up the tree and shake them down uin lees lie has a partner on the ground to keep the~ hogs from gathering in the products of his labor. - W)e repeat again her'e, that our far mer's, unorganized, iindepenilently and alone, can produce a good crop of cot tonl, but it takes the coinbined efforts of thousands of cotton farmers to make sur'e-of a good1 price for that cotton. Tf other folks were to allow you as far'mers to pr'ice all you buy and prlice all you sell, teo, how long would it take the farmers to'even up things in a way that would cause the howling to come up from the other side? That is the very way that the other crowds have-been doinig up the So'uthern far mner for Jo, these many years. Tme Farmer's' Union is now up against this unfair wvay of dealing. We are not organized to go after others or' to turn down any legitimate business in .order to build up outfarming interest. All our aims and 'efforts are direect ed towards attending to ouri bulsiness inl our1 ownI w ay. We have learnied from bitter ex perience that it is not the 'dollar's that we make that counts, hut it is the dollars 'we save for ourselves that p)iles up wealth upon the p)roducer's' Bide of trade. We have learned that the nrQfits on any crops are O when crops are lirvest begins th#V if the farmer's sid ized and ,trained game the profits tp a pivot will be th vn e in into the rit of t)h It other trades, otis5uiors of cptto and their combinations do fiot choos -to yield to our proposition- for fai dealing gracefully, about all that fai mers have to do ii order to carr; their :.ide along is to apply the met ods tI our farmers busitiess that othe trades have done in ordei to win th profits out of our afrining business. 'Tliere is no new departure in thi prolmsition of the Farmers' Unior This same practice.has been in use b; cot(t4,n speculators and ot.her combilina tions for many years. Tlie remedy is here: Instead of far mers cdoerring with buyers of cotto1 about ixing the price for cotton, th growers of cotton should confer wilt each theer. The growers of cottoi cannot expect of the buyers to get. an other news about crops or tie cottoi market excepting tliat news that is i his favor which will always bear dow1 the market news. Manufacturers do not go to the fi mer (who is the consumer of his food to ask him to help him get a bette price for his goods. Then who oi carti should the farmer go to the con sumer or the buyers of, cotton to ge himl to price tle farmer's products Farmers, quit acting the fool and pu up your own warehouses, bulk you cotton in your own houses, set you own figures on your stuff, make you cotton warehouses your clearing houF es and the trade will come to you. The Wifliamson Corn Stunting Plar The Williamson stunting process 0 corn and cotton, too, seems to be th most fashionable plan of the day. A] over Ilie country we see the stuntin proce'ss on the erops. Corn and col tonl, too, are looking yellow for tl lack of work and sunshine; too Iue rain andil the scarcity of labor ha forced this stuntinlg process uponl Ill farmers. It it not in the plans ( the farniers to thus stunt their cropi It is tle force of circumstances-th weather and labor; this condition i unavoidable. But wlhy not now appl nitrate of soda or high grade ammon ated fertilizers to the side of the crops and test the value of late al plication of the more volatile fertili: ers? There is no doubt in our minds bi what all the ammonia or available n rogen Inl eommlercial fertilizers hax been washed 1nt by the recent heav raiins, and is now gone out of reach c lie colilmon erops, and if we expe< lie best results from these very solh ble nitrogenots fertilizers we shoil apply thenm to) erops in the latt< stage of its growth, when the soil fillled withI thle feeders-hit tle rootIc --itlen ready to consume volatile p)lai ir solublle food. We would nout have our readers mnisundi(erstandl (hn position or opinio on this stuant ing plan. Mr. Willian son, we think, has done a good thin for the farming interest of the whol South by calling ouri attention to i stutnting plan in the cultivation coin. Hei has p)ut the progressive fai mier to thinking along this line ( retarding the growth of stalk, the0 let valuable p)art of our crops, and ii creasing the grain or fruiting. WV farmers have a great deal to lear along this line. We have known year ago that the best fall ,eabbage wer grown by retarin(img the growth in th earlier stage; that is, transplant thi plants in July or August aiid nw wvork them out until first of Septen her, when a good application-oif ferti hizers applied along with late cultiva ion insures a fine crop of fall cal bage. We have also been deceive, by the come-out of' sonme very g'rass; cot ton that was not worked out uint: very late when i4ropitious seasom and good cultivation have produce< aistoniishinig good crop)s, ev'en at thi late stage of the growth of the eropt For maniy years wec have stopped what we think waste of money by ap plying amoniat ed commercial fertihi zers to small grain sown in1 fall, o to other s)ping erops when planting We are satisfied that usnally aboui all thle soluble properties of nitrate arue goiie befoie thle roots of erops ar sufficiently large or numerous to tak ny or ap)prop)riate this valuable plan Therefore, we believe more in 1at< or side application of fertilizers that we do' in the retarding or stunting og the stalk growth. But, we do not sa; that we are sure of this without w< have dlemonstr*atedl this fact by actna comp)arative test by measured arci aiid Neighied crop)s. We ha&vo this side application o1 fertilizers to both stunted and( unstunt ed crops of both cotton and corn-ir practical test this year which, w< made practicaV ur cheap plan for Farmers' Union warehouse seems to have stirred up no 11 little oPposit ion by thatsclais of men 0 that have" vays. nade their jack b$y r su)plying the farmers with that busi ness manenement of the farmor's owh i affairs that 'counts for loss or gain. - Something has been going the rounds r about the price of cement at $1.85 be Silug too low, which would render our plans out of reason, &Q. 9 WWlI, now just put up the price of . cement to $3.00 per barrel, if you please, which puts tle bought slipplies fori a one section witrehouse at tlie ex tremely low cost of $400. Now, it must be a very trifling, good-for-nothing farmers' organiza tion that- could not put up $500 cash to start. up such an enterprise as this, that means so much in a protective way to the cotton producersl Farmers, (10 not let this old gang rattle you; go ahead with your ware house organizations.

Mr. Burton .1. Hendirek, in the Story of Life L. Insurance that appears in July Me C Clure's, tells of Mr. Hyde''s life ill e dramatic detail. le shows how Hyde inherited the love for life-insuranee from his father, Henry Hazen Hyde, how he obtained a small position in e the Mutual Lilfe at that time know to h he far from honlest. in its methods of s business, and was discharged because e lie had planned to form a company f to take tup husilness tilat the Mututial could not handle, set I ilu.p. l) the Equ1it e able Life-Assurance Conpany with s nothing but a chair a table and a y box of cigars as his capital (the .. chairs and the table, in fact, having e been borrowed). It is told how he - proceeded, by developing the agency . side of the business, to form ''lnot lie best but tle biogest insulranee t company in the world,' planying fast .. and loose with the company's finiai e ces and getting for himself all kinds y of remuneration by so-called contracts f and commissioiis. Mr. Hendrick 's de t seription of Hyde and his methods is - interesting: ''Many tihe time he has ( stalked into his board room with . pract ieally every member of his Fin s anee Commit tee against him.
