Virginia against the West.

The tables in the monthly report of the Ag-
rlcultural Department, showing the relative
prices and yield per acre of the principal crops
In the United States, are very interesting and
valuable. Some very surprising facts are here
shown. The highest average yield of corn last
year was 429 bushels and Iowa is the banner
State. Nebraska is one bushel less and Kan
sas q bushels behind. Illinois and Ohio give
3S3, and Wisconsin and Minnesota 374, nearly.
Vermont and New Hampshire go 359. making
up for their cold climate and sterile soil in thor
ongh culture. Virginia yields 224, and West
lrginla 2t3, and the lower Atlantic and Gulf
States yield from 10 to IA bushels.
The average price per bushel in Illinois was
50 cents, and In Virginia it was 61 cents. So
that while an average acre of corn was worth
1925 in Illinois, it was worth $I5.O7 in Vir-
ginia. This little fact is full of significance.
Upon It we base an irresistible conclusion in
favor of the superior cheapness of our lands.
Give us the enterprise, capital, and skill of
Northern States, and we will bring up our av-
erage to that of Iowa. We can afford TO do
this, for the market is at our door.
Fertilizers are accessible and abundant Our
corn lands can be purchased at one-half the
price paid for those in illinois, possessing equal
advantages We can improve our lands and
make them equal to those of the prairies, by
skilIful rotations, and it will pay. That is, the
lands there will pay for their own regeneration.
But no man must undertake it without CAPT.
tai. Small capitals must be applied to small
farms here as elsewhere We have yet to learn
of any man who has failed to succeed in farm
ing in Virginia, who knows how to farm, and
has used adequate capital. al.-iStdte Journal
