A pamphlet containing one hundred
and sixty three pages Of matter has
peeh ,ssued by the West Virginia
board OF agriculture under the title of
wv est Virginia Agricultural Resources
and Possibilities 1t was compiled by
and under the direction of J. b. Car
vim, secretary of the West Virginia
State board OF agriculture and COM
ptises the topography, soils and crops,
the live stock Industry, possibilities for
the fruit grower, educational advan-
tages and numerous other valuable
Information to the West Virginia farm
en- In its introduction it says:
''We receive many inquiries about
West Virginia, its agricultural Lro-
auctions, climate, soils and the oppor-
tunities for securing comfortable homes
among our hills, mountains and val
leys. To answer these by letter is te-
dious task, especially, if an attempt
be made to give the Information de-
sired by prospective investors and
home seekers. To answer there inqui-
ries more fully and satisfactorily the
foliowi. pages have been prepared 1t
may also, in measure, serve the pur-
pose of showing in general way, that
Nest Virginia is rich in her agricul-
tural product as well as coal, oil, nat
ural gas and timer. This fact has not
been 80 fully advertised as has been the
industrial enterprises and mineral re-
sources Of the State.
''There are about 5,155,53 acres of
virgin land in West Virginia yet to be
brought under cultivation, whrhis al
most half Of the total acreage ciassed
as farm land, or about 30 per cent. OF
the total area<of the State. Our agri-
cultural Productions could be largely
increased and the product find = ready
market in the rapidly growing centers
Of population within the State.
1.-The valleys are becoming veritable
beehlves of industry ana the tceming
mass Of humanity must be fed. AL
present the demaLd for food supply is
furnished, in measure, from other
states, and the probabilities are that
home production Will not supply the
demand for years to come. The devel-
opment of cur natural resources may
be said to have only begun. Millions
in money are stlll pouring into the
State to be used in the development of
coal, oil, natural gas and various con-
structive enterprises. Railroads are
penetrating alC. ost every section of the
State, building of which constitutes
some of the most gigantic enterprises
known to modern engineering skill"

Calumet was searching in the fog for the Anchor
