county may cut sufficient timber right
here to build whatever stse they may
choose. Time was when the county
was ,honeycombed with sawmills. They
were discontinued. not because of any
lack of timber but because the own
ers either retired wealthy or took up
trucking. In the woods of Hanover
are to be found practically all woods
used in building operations. Among
the trees that grow In great album
dance and to large size and height
are oak, hickory, pine, ash, elm and
poplar. The railroad tie making in
austry has always been strong IN
Hanover county.
Although the mineral industry has
not been worked to any considerab BILE
extent here. there are deposits of
great magnitude and value throughout
the county. Among the minerals al
ready discovered In Hanover county
are asbestos, gneiss, phosphates of
lime, mica and feldspar. This coun-
ty mas a great future as mineral
producing center, according to experts,
and all that ia needed Is the capital
to work the mines.
summing UP the opportunities and
advantages in Hanover county, Mr.
There Is probably no section OF
Virginia that produces as early, de-
ilcious ana as large a variety of vege-
! tables as Hanover county. The heart
or this fine trucking district Ia within
few miles of Richmond, which en-
ables many OF the growers TO make
two deliveries day Hanover soil
possesses a peculiar fitness for the
culture of asparagus. The area in
which this very profitable vegetable
can be successfully grown Is very
limited, thereby giving anoyer grow
ers a very decided advantage over
growers in other sections. The larg-
est asparagus acreage in the, Middle
Atlantic States, on which Is located
the only cannery in this section OF
the country for the preparation OF
this popular and high priced vege-
table, is located in the heart of this
trucking belt.
Staple Crops.
Besides excelling in the produce
ton of vegetables. Hanover Is unsur-
passed In the production of staple
crops. Corn. hay, wheat and oats are
grown in very large quantities, and
the yield per acre Is second to no
county in the State. Hanover is also
the banner county in the production
of sweet potatoes watermelons and
canteloupes. all of which command
premium prices. The progressive
Hanover farmer has nothing to sell
every month in the year. and Is usual
ly lender of money"
Hanover Bank.
Distinguished as being the first
banking enterprise to be established
in Hanover county and to-day the
only monetary institution In the
county, the Hanover Bank, of Ash
land, occupies in the community a
conspicuous and an important posi-
ton from purely historical stand
point.

The soil Is also especially well adapt
