that requires the education of a /
young man along agricultural
lines as much as does Virginia.
Primarily an agricultural State,
her sons have drifted away
where more alluring opportuni-
ties apparently await them.
The time is now ripe for these
sons TO return Go Virginia, and
aid in the rapid upbuilding of
her agriculture, which for a
number of years has been ne.
elected; but the turning point
has come, and henceforth there
will be such a demand for them
young men-who have an ag-
ricultural education that the
demand will exceed the supply
and Virginia will have 70 call
upon her sister states 10 fill this
rapidly widening gap between
; supply and demand.
There are many Of our young
men taking advantage of the
