A Hint to Virginia Farmers.

a bushcl of corn Is Il standard and
invarablc measure; but not 80 barrel
OF corn. In Virginia q barrel of corn is
enough corn in the ear to shell out FIVE
bushels;, In the West n barrel of corn
means -four barrel OF corn In the ear
which would shell out less than two
bushels. Therefore, when Virglnlan
says that his land Will produce twenty
barrels of corn TO the acre the Western
man will laugh at him and tell him that
Western land VIII bring forty and NIFTY
barrels TO the acre But the Nirs!nnn
means one thing and the Western man
another. Twenty barrels OF corn In Viz
ginia means one hundred bushcls forty
| barrels Of corn in the West means less
| than eighty bushels,
We mention this by way Of making q
practical suggestion to landowners IN
| Virginia. In speaking Of the productive
capacity OF their lands lot them use tbs
bushel and not the barrel as the STANDARD
Of measure.
