COMPLAINTS are current that VIZ
ginia makes a poor show at the But
falo Exposition, especiallyin the hor-
ticultural and genealogical depart
ments. The Exposition provides an
admirable opportunity for advertis-
ing Virginia's products which are
varied and OF fine quality, and such
neglect is detrimental TO the States
future welfare as well as a reflection
upon the push and enterprise OF her
people. This apparent lack ofinterest
on the part OF the Virginia people is
to be deplored, for with fair represent
tation Virginia would compare most
favorably with the other States OF the
Union. The season has arrived when
many of the fruits grown in the State
are fast reaching maturity, and sam
Piles can be sent to the Exposition at
little cost. Mr.. Samuel b. Woods,
president of the Virginia State HOrti-
cultural Society, has called the atten-
ton OF Virginia fruit growers to this
subject. He says Every man who
has few fruit trees in his garden or
on his farm can help the exhibit. 1t
does not require a barrel or a bushel
"a dozen or two first-class specimens
of different varieties would be very
acceptable They should be picked
before ripe and mellow, each specimen
separately wrapped in parchment
paper il convenient; if not, common
paper would do, and packed in boxes
holding a peck or half-bushel. Excel
sior or old newspaper should be used
to prevent thefruit coming in contact
with the sides of the box, using pres
sure enough to insure that the fruit
does not become loose in transit. The
box should be plainly marked, 'Vir-
ginia Exhibit, care H. f. Van Deman,
Pan-American Exposition, Buffalo,
Ny; express collect" We trust the
Virginia people will interest them
selves in this important matter and
heed the appeal of President Woods.
BY so doing they will benefit their
State and thus indirectly benefit
themselves.
