LIKES THE OLD DOMINION.
Reasons why q PennsyIvania Farmer Set
- In NIrRIIif.


A PENNSYLVANIA farmer recently pur-
chased farm in Virginia. In letter 10
the Commissioner OF Agriculture he gives
the reasons he made the purchase as
follows:
The price Of land seemed exceedingly low
compared with the farms in Pennsylvania.
The buildings on the farms would cost. II
new, as much as was asked for the land.
The corn and tobacco, although bat indit-
ferently farmed, presented fine sppear-
ance, and if properly handled could be
made as productive as any of the farms IN
Lebanon county. Pennsylvania. The fruit
trees looked remarkably healthy and fruit
can be raised at profit
The people l found exceedingly kind
and hosptable. Tho climate seemed TO
be oil that could be desired. During the
hottest part of the summer l found the
temperature not oppressive-a nice breeze
blowing nearly all the time. There are
other possibilities which occurred TO me
afterwards-r raising pigs. sheep. cattle and
poultry. but the abCve-named reasons are
the principal inducements which caused
me TO buy d farm IN Virginia.
