residence district, where the traffic is

dig up our good money to pay for

stretch loyalty and patriotism to the

THE RAILROAD RATE SlTUA-
TION

There has been a noticeable i'm
provement in business and trade con-
ditions since the monster meeting of
railroad employees in New York, at
which resolutions were passed urg-
ing the Interstate Commerce Com
mission to grant the railroad COM
panies reasonable increases in their
transportation rates to make up for
the increased expenses to which they
are now put in meeting demands for
higher wages, etc, and since Presl-
dent Taft's assurance. shortly after
ward, that the companies would be
given a fair deal and accorded fair
treatment by the government. That
business has increased and stock
values gone up as a result of these
incidents is not a surprise to those
men who understand through long
experience that any radical action
against the railroads on the part of
the National or State governments
always results in financial and COM
mercial depression, stagnation of
of business and decrease in stock and
bond values. The West is generally
the starting point as well as the cen
ter of most Of the spasmOdic agita-
ton against railroads in this country
and yet no other section Of the cOun-
try owes so much to the roads as the
West, which has literally been built
up by the great railroads which ira
verse its broad plains, giving the
Western farmer a quick market in
the East for the products Of his land
No one desires to see the public
mulcted by the railroad companies
and no one should desire to see the
railroad companies treated unfairly
by the people or the government.
The companies need the good will of
the people and the people need the
facilities afforded by the companies.
The minute the railroads are threat
ened with drastic action or unfair
treatment for making necessary adj
justments of their rates. that min
ute always marks the beginning of
an era of business depression from
Maine to California. No one denies
that the railroads have been forced
to enormously increase their ex-
penses by demands for higher wages,
which they were compelled to grant,
and therefore they should be accord
ed the right to make fair increases
in existing rates to help meet the
greater burden of expense. Nothing
but evil can flow from persecution of
the railroads in this country.

VIRGINlA'S PROGRESS

Virginia Is making great progress
as an agricultural State. This was
not orly clearly demonstrated by
the SPLENDID showing made at TIE
State far. but it was also demon
strated that her agricultural inter-
ests are as varied as any State in the
Union. Cora grows to perfection,
other cereals are as good as grow
anywhere. while the clovers and
other hay find their most congenlal
growth in the Old Dominion. It
has also been demonstrated that al
faffa;~ the most valuable of all hay
crops and land iNprovers, can be
successfully grown in the State with
the proper care. and yet in spite Of
all this We DO not produce enough
hay for our oVn Use. and it is clam
ed that from 81 per cent 70 ~ per
cent of our dairy products are ship
ped into the State from other States
This is all wrong. Favored as we
are by all the conditions that pro-
mote profitable dairying we ought
to apply our own demand and ship
hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of milk, butter and cream out
of the State every year. The Nir-
GINA Dairy Department is engaged
in a great work in stimulating farm
ers to go into the dairy business and
stop depicting their lands by grow
ing tobacco and corn continually to
TIT exclusion of other crops, and
they are succeeding in the work
They cannot succeed fully too soon.
The prosperity of the State depends
upon it. In this section there has
been a marked advance in the past
few years along this line. There
are some splendid dairy herds in and
around Fredericksburg. managed on
scientific principles, and other lines
of agriculture have advanced hand
in hand with the dairying interests.
The improvement will continue and
old Virginia will take her place in
the near future where she rightly
belongs, in agriculture as in every
thing else.
