| The busl1ess OF goat raioog is not altogether
new one 10 Virginia, largo herds already tx-
listing 10 some poftiots CT t;as Stair. They
have, however, boeu raised for their fl .sh end
hides, rather than for their hair or wool, aud
tho sumic is extensively used in preparing the
skirs tt the kids for glovos, aud those Ct the
| older animals tor morocco shoes and boots.
| 10 this connection iG must be obvious that
there is quite large portion of til, South, par

Georgia, North Carolina and Tcntc see. which

ra fl cks and wool as the corresponding portion S
OF Virginia; the sumtc moreover. grows abln
dantly Throughout! those entire regions.
! There is another Industry which it appears
to Us could DO tuc,t SilulIg prosecuted in Flr-
| grll: VIC refer to tho cultivation Of tho crap,
and its conversion iuto wine Evcu 10 tho days

companions we're attracted By tho luxu,iauce of

| ',Of those hedge grapcs." hs says "wa made
| nearly twouty gallon OF wine, llk. our French
| British wines, but cott,inly they would prove
| good were they we'll matured." Stith, in his
history, 1922 says that 'tho Frcuchmen sf
frmed that no country was more proper for
wines. olives, elk, rice" etc.
1t must DO apparent that the farmers Of Viz
| glnin should plsco less reliance on their CT
| nsu,tive tobacco cop, and properly diversity
| their industries. Mulberry trees grow with
great vgor on Virgin. soil, and if The mon of
the Ole Dominion engaged somewhat estsn.
| svely in the production of vino and silk, they
would find it greatly to their advantage; and
| what is true of Virginia, in this respect, is
equally true ct that whole region Of CT IL ntry BE-
tween tho Gulf and tho Potomac. Our people
must abandon old grooves and enlarge the cir
| Gle OF their effective operations. IN D. Item
