Virginia Farming.

The Commissioner Of Agriculture re-
ports to us that agricultural conditions
In Virginia are gradually improving. The
farmers are getting out OF the one crop
system and are rotating their crops
Much of our soil is thin because OF the
one crop system Of the past, The farmer
has been taxing the land year after
year to Its full capacity and rohbing It
OF its vegetable matter But he is learn
ing better. More than ever. soil I'M
proving crops are grown. such as COW
peas. soy beans, vetchea, clovers and
grasses. These crops supply nitrogen and
make humus. Every such crop makes
the land that much more valuable
The farmers are more and more giving
attention to their live stock. Already the
finest varieties of cattle and sheep are
annually exported and Virginia is
destined ODE one Of the great live stock
states Of the country.
The fruit industry is increasing rapid
" and many orchards bring small for
tunes in single crop, yielding the owner
from $500 to $1,000 Virginia grows a
great variety OF fruits ssof the finest
quality, and is fortunate in being, located
near the great markets OF the East.
Virginia Is also one of the largest
trucking States in the Union. One Of her
counties now grows five per cent. Of the
entire sweet potato crop of the United
States. Our great trucking fields are cx-
tending each year further inland and the
Industry is gradually expanding In
short. Virginia grows greater variety
of crops than any other State. Anything
except tropical plants can be produced
here.
Many OF our lands are still selling for
less than their real value. but In all parts
Of the State prices are hardening. and
in some sections have materially In
creased. The trouble Is that Virginia has
done little In the way Of advertising, and
! outsiders do not understand what adj
vantage we have and what bargaiDa our
lands are at present prices. However
the State has splendid exhibit at st.
Louis, and already there are practical re-
suits Of which we shall speak hereafter

Music as Stimulating Life
Force vs.. Mere fPerfoflla nca1:
By William L. Tomlins,
(For Twenty-three Years Director Of the
Apollo Club, Chicago.)

Note.-Eyerybody interested in educa-
ton or music will be interested In the
recent work Of William l.. Tomltns, in
the development of music as force III
education.
During the past eighteen months some
zoe or more of the public school teachers
Of Chicago have been the enthusiastic
subjects OF demonstrations O. nthe value
of n1us.o as a useful instrument I'm theft
school work, and the results of this de-
1nonstration have been SO remarkable as
to arouse great interest in what Mr..
Tomlins has done, not only here, but IN
other large cities of the country during
recent years. s55
The work In Chicago was in the nature
OF test to show that the remarkable
powers which Mr., Tomlins possesses IN
the development Of song as life-force
we're communicable by him to others IN
way that makes 1t available for their
use. At first a hundred teachers were
selected by the board CT education, not
for their musical abilities. but rather
the contrary; most of them were not
singers These teachers met far I rom no :
Inns once a week for six months In a
class, and were instructed along lines OF
tone production and development OF the
capacity to sing, but chiefly IN his
methods of applying music as an eiuca-
t,onal agency in school work,
At the end of this work a report was.
made Of the results containing a personal
statement of each Of the 100 teacher
is to the actual results in her cas-.
These statements We're practically
unanimous, in saying that they had gan
"a not only musical, but physical, men

,ture Of the work Is that these teachers
when asked to explain the new power
they have gained, are at loss TO 40 So
they do not seem fully to understand tne
