VIRGINIA'S AGRICULTURAL
FUTURE

Mr.. f. III. LaBaume, agricultural
and industrial agent Of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad, in an interest
ing article on the past supremacy OF
Virginia as an agricultural state,
published in the Southern Farm
Magazine, predicts that Virginia will
again take rank as one Of.theleading
States in agriculture. and submits
the follows conclusive reasons for the
conclusions:
/. Good, strong soil, easily suscep-
tible to great improvement and re-
tanning its fertility with wonderful
tenacity.
2. Quality OF crops raised. which
cannot be surpassed by any other
locality.
3. Good markets for allfarm prod
ucts and prices for same that will
average 80 per cent higher than in
the West.
4. Transportation facilities that
win compare favorably with any
other State in the Union.
.. Long growing seasons and short
and comparatively mild winters.
). AbundG 1T rainfall, well Cistrlb-
nted, and a consequent ample sup
ply of water for al purposes.
Z. Excellent social environment.
with all that it implies, namely.
good schools, churches and n most
kindly and hOspitable people.
8. Entire absence of cyclones. tor
nadors and severe 81 sctrical storms.
9. A climate Just between the rig
orous and extremely severe weather
of the North and the enervating,
and monotonous climate OF the
South.
10. The surprisingly low prices at
which good farms can be obtained,
which represent in many cases less
than one fifth of their intrinsic value.
The Northern farmer, as a rule. is
very quick to take advantage OF a
good thing when it is brought to his
attention, and he is coming down i'll
ever-increasirg numbers, and, more
over. after he nas located he immedi-
ately becomes an active and enthus-
iastic worker for bis locality. and is
not content until he has induced a
goodly number of his old friends and
neighbors TO sell out andcome dow Il,
and thus swell the tide which it
would en- is destined to repOpr'ate
all the idle farms and plantations in
the old State until she again assumes
the agricultural prominence towhich
she is entitled.
