The farmers OF Virginia are now
having their innings not only as to
the price OF their products. but in the
interest shown by the Governor of tho
State in the advancement of agricul-
ture. Wherever he goes and wheneve:
he speaks In the interest Of good roads
and good schools, he makes the sue
cessful cultivation Of the soil the ba-
Sis of the States progress. He right
fully argues that If the products OF
the farm can be doubled in quantity
and value, and this seems to he the re-
suit he Is aiming at during his adj
lninistration. that the prosperity which
will come to the State will put II IN
condition to have good roads and good
schools and make that progress which
Will put Virginia IN the front rank Of
tho States of the Union.
