The CITIZEN desires TO commend
the resolution offered in the Ccnsti-
tutional Convention by Rev. w. Z.
Dunaway which seeks to stop appro-
priation of the peoples money to
other than State institutions. For 3
long time certain schools have re-
ceised money appropriations biennl-
ally from the State, and the worst
sort of favoritism has been the result.
A few sessions ago a movement was
made to discontinue appropriations to
William and Mary and the Univer-
sity of Virginia, but there were too
many "kid glove" legislators in
Richmond for the movement to sue
coed. 1t has been their argument
that only in this way could poor boys
get education at the higher schools.
This has had its political effect, and
may continue to do SO. But il we
are not very much mistaken very
few poor boys ever get appointments

IN most cases they cannot accept

no more reason in these schools

shan that Richmond College, Ran.

CORN HIGH.

Last week closed with great ex-
citement in the grain marts. Corn
jumped to 60 cents, being rise of z
cents during the week. This was
caused chiefly by reports that the
western crops were being ruined by
the drought. Farmers partly caused
the jump. as they have been doing a
great deal of buying in sections
where failure of crop is imminent.
Some western farmers are feeding
wheat to their horses because of the
scarcity and high prices. Wheat is
also going up.

experiment will prove of great benefit
to agricultIirists in the years to come
for goodness knows it is preciops
little help that the farmer gets from
States, corporations or public enter
prises as rule. The experiment. is
test scheme sure enough in Vir-
glnia, and while we know little about
such things We cannot see why it
should not prove success. Given
the required funds and Efficient
managers there is no reason why il
should not result in good, but as
to these two essentials we cannot saw
that we have or have not the means
and proper men. The State legisla.
ture can raise the first; the man
will have to be proved by trial
Success to the movement.

che mountain section of Virginia.
We may not be able Just now TO
establish two such experimental
stations, but we want to see a fest
farm located in Underwater Virginia.
1t Is OF. course true that the staple
crops raised in the uplands produce
the greater wealth to the State. but
we have long believed that the most
profitable branch of agriculture
that OF trucking-belongs as vet to
Underwater Virginia. We are COM
paratively young in this branch of
farming, however, and it admits of
greater development. With a test
farm in Tidewater great results
might be looked for i'm the raising
OF trucks, and we believe it might be
found that other sections of Virginia
could make the branch profitable.
