OFFICE VIRGINIA STATE
WEATHER SERVICE.

LYNcnDuno, Va, Aug, Is, 1891.
To the Editor:
1t is intended to establish q State
Weather Service in Virginia, to co
operate with the National Weather
Bureau of the Agricultural Depart
ment, by dissemination of the fore
casts and warnings Of the Weather
Bureau, 30 that tho people of the
State at large may derive the bene-
fits to be obtained therefrom.
Stations Of observation will also bo
established in each county OF the
State under the supervision of intel
ligent and reliable observers who
will report to this Office, and whose
reports will be published and dis.
seminated monthly.
A system Of weekly weather.crop
bulletins will be leading feature of
the State work during the growing
season, which will be valuable alike
to tho commerce and agriculture of
the State.
The Instruments necessary for
making observations arc tho set OF
self registering maximum and mini.
mum thermometers, q rain gunge,
measuring stick and instrument shell
ter of lattice work for the thormomc
tcrs. Considering that tho ontiro
work is mt present wholly voluntary,
there will be no pay attached to tho
making of observations and the in.
strumonta will require to bo pur-
chased from private funds, or by an
appropriation of tho city or town
councils. The expense of the in
struments is triiling in comparison
to the advantages to be derived, be
ing about twonty dollars Tor the SGT
rs abova enumerated
Tho time that is to be devoted to
the making and recording of OBJ
servations need not exceed ten min
utos each evening, and tho work be-
ing light and entertaining and of con-
siderable beuofiL to physicians aud
others, an Intelligent observer can
readily be secured to give the matter
proper attention.
1t is requested that persons desir-
ing to obtain the appointment of oh
server for their counties file their ap
plicatlons at the earliest practicable
date. The advantages to bo derived
from State Burea can be briefly
surmised as follows:
l. 1t will be the means of securing
bettor forecasts by having local data
to study III connection with storm
movements.
2. 1t brings the benefits of the
Weather Bureau into every county
of a State by having the flag system
of displays to warn the people of
coming weather changes.
3. 1t will give to every county
standards of temperature. rainfall,

at all times.
4. 1t places within reach OF local
agricultural societies means of accu.
rate observations, which, in the
course of years must prove of great
value in the study and adaptation Of

recommended joining the Alliance

The Old, Old Story.

The commencement season is always
associated with young girls, and in the
endless number Of ueatises, more or
less learned. that have been written
upon this ever interesting topic, the
sweet, young boy is wholly ignored or
referred to in so cruelty a facetious
manner that he would be crushed en-
tirely. only that he is not easily
crushed. The boy, as veil as the girl,
goes through with ali the agony of
preparatlo7 ,, he wrestles with his exami-
nations, tolls over his essay, struggles
with the question Of his toilet, but it
seems to be ordained that all the flow
ers and sympathy and affectionatc in
terests are lavished on the girls. He
occupies very much the position of a
bi: of sleeps sorrel in a garden of
roses, but he gets his revenge in later
years, when the girl drops INTO OBJ
livion and he goes to Congress. The
present season is indeed the sweet girl
graduates very own, the climax of her
years OF hard work, the day of her
triumph, when she imagines the world
is at her feet and enjoys the sensation
as much as if it were founded upon
reality. The woman of mature years
may smile at the stereotyped per-
formances of Commencement, almost
identical with those of 20 or 80 years
ago, but tear follows the smile as she
recalls the time when she was one of
that white robed band, her heart filled
with the same joyous anticipations,

Farmers Wanted in Maryland

Maryland 5 greatest need IN the
way of outside assistance towards
the development Of her resources is
few hundred energetic farmers.
From causes which have been re
viewed often in these columns, large
portions of the state are without
that tillage so necessary to proper
agricultural production. The Mary
land farm is just emerging from the
transition which is slowly wiping out
the plantations and evolving new
style of agriculture.
What the situation demands is
intelligent labor to cover the counties
with a larger growth otproduce than
they have even seen. Large tracts
need to be broken into small farms
of 50 to 100 acres, and new sorts
of cultivation must be inaugurated
upon them. To this end, men OF
sufficient capital to purchase and
own these farms. and of sufficient
agricultural training to work them
properly, is the desideraum, the
practical question being how and
where to obtain them.
There are only..two sources from
whence they may be derived-from
the populous North or the still more
populous communities of the Old
World. To reach either class effort
is necessary, and the proper adver-
tisement Of Maryland lands is essen
tial. This may be done as it has
been done IN the Northwest, by real
estate agencies or through properly
constituted state commission. In
whatever way it is accomplished,
the expenditure of some money is
necessary in the publication and
scattering of advertisements which
will invite the attention of those
seeking such homes as Maryland
has to give.
But, pehaps,9 the most hopeful
field in which to work is the German
Empire. A line of steamers con
stantly passes between Baltimore
and Bremen. Each year many thou
sands of such immigrants as Mary
land needs are landed at Locust
Point. There they take railroad
trains for Chicago, St. Paul or other
points in the great Northwest to build
up states, to people cities. and to
increase the industries of the com
munities to which they go, If only
small portion of this tide OF i'm
migration could be turned aside
into Southern Maryland marvellous
results would follow therefrom.
This can be done by sending one
or two active men to Germany, there
to lay before the people who desire
to emigrate the advantages to De
found in Maryland A few colonies
started would prove the nucleus of
others, until the available agricul
tural lands o. the state would be oc-
cupied by thrifty, industrious and
frugal class Of farmers, very different
from the idle negroes and indifferent
white men who are seeking to strad-
die over the states domain from the
Patapsco to the mouth of the Poto-
mac.
In the Fatherland lie the POSSIBLE
ties OF an agricultural regeneration
for Maryland, and a few German
colonies cannot be started too soon
at available points in southern and
central portions OF the state. -BaLt0.
