The old notion that Virginia had
seen It's best days in N horticultural
sense Is NO longer entertained, IN
view Of the developments Of the past
decade. The exhausting tax upon the
soil in raising a single crop for years
in succession led to the belief that
fertility had departed forever Moth
ing could have been more erroneous.
New methods employed by more en-
terprising farmers and the influx of
wealthy people who were attracted by
the natural beauties Of the state have
wrought great changes in places, and
will transform the whole State in ser
tain directions. virginta's horses are
renowned. Why should not the State
take the lead in raising fine cattle as
well? AS for mutton and pork, the
hills Of Virginia should yield not only
abundance for local needs, but should
supply adjacent territory. Certainly
the quality of hams produced in Vfr-
gina Is une&celled.
The truth is that Virginia should
become, like England, thes producer of
choice foods, which will compcte with
those from other regions not by yir-
tue Of quantity. but through superior
quality. In this branch Of industry
all the essentials are at hand. The
state is capable of turning out enor;
nous quantities OF food stutts of the
