FIGURES FOR PRESERVATION

The long promised statistics from
the Census Bureau concerning Virginia

hand. and yet it is admitted that the,

near enough to the end to enable the
accomplished statisticans in the Cen
sus Department TO figure out the per-
centage OF Increase and decrease foi

The facts and figures 1 give below
are taken from the report of Acting
Census Director Falkner. who has Just
Issued the first official statement from
the Census Bureau relative to the ag-
ricultural statistics OF tho State OF
Virginia, collected at the thirteenth
decennial United states census. April
Is. 1911.
1t is based on a preliminary COM
parative summary submitted by DR.. LIE
Grand Powers. chief statistican of the
division of agriculture in the Bureau
of the Census This summary shows. for
both the census of 1910 and that of 1900
the reported total value of farm land

tributes to total number of farms ac-
cording to color OF farmer; specified

Attention is called to the fact that
the igures are subject to revision later
as a number of farms whose returns
are incomplete VIII be included In the
final tables. These additions Will not, In
all probability, modify any of the
amounts or rates contained in the

An Expert Tells About the Adj
vantages of Poultry Shows and
How to Make Them.
By WALTER G. scHAAF.

With the Virginia State Fair only
eight weeks hence. it behooves us,
that is TO say US poultry folks. to look
around our yards and pick out the
most likely specimens that may have a
chance at the ribbons. The poultry
exhibitions at our State Fair have i'm
proved from year to year. both in
numbers and quality of birds shown,
so that now to win a ribbon. even
though ii be fifth prize, is a covet
ed honor, aspired for by every exhibi
tor. Particularly is this true in the
larger classes where competition is 50
keen. for instance the White Leghorns
Barred Rocks. Wyandottes and OrpinG-
tons.
For the amateur or beginner the
State Fair is without doubt the place
for him 10 do his hrst exhibiting. He
does not have to ship his birds by ex-
press. but can deliver them person
ally. This fact enables him to put the
bird in the coop in first-class shape and
condition, whicG is seldom the case IL
the bird has to make a several hun
dred mile express journey. Then again.
he can visit the fair at his leisure. and
study the points of the winners in his
class. thereby learning more In few
days than he can learn in year ct

fowls.

year will show for the first time. If
YOU haven't enough sporting blood in
your veins to suffer defeat gracefully,
better not show a all. There is moth

HOW SANDY TALKS
OF VIRGINIA FARMS
Virginia's Demonstration Tells the
North Carolina Folks About
Much Good Work.
HOPE OF COUNTRY IN BOYS
Hay-Making and Lorn-Growine

Art.
HOPE OF COUNTRY IN BOYS

T. o. Sandy. the chief of the farm
demonstration work in Virginia. has
been telling our North Carolina friends
OF the good work done In this State
and how the Virginians have profited
thereby He has recently told them
through the columns of the Progress
sive Farmer.
His story. taken from that esti-
mable journal, reads as follows:
One of the greatest problems be-
fore the Virginia people has been.
How to interest and keep the boys
and girls on the farm, especially those
who have been educated"
The loss Of these rural leaders by
iiocking to the cities has been one of
the greatest difficulties Virginia ha
had to contend with. These young
men and women have left the farm
because there was not enough to IN
terest them. The hardships they
had to undergo by the use of farm
tools which were Anticipated and not
time and la bor-saving devices, in con-
nection with other difficulties equally
discouraging, made IL barely possible
for them to exc ont a meagre exis
tence, hence the depletion OF the rural
districts and the crowded condition Of
the cities. The demonstration work
was brought to Virginia at this crisis
OF affairs, and through 1t the boys and
girls are now being educated I,
make more from an acre of land by
improved implements. proper fertiliza-
ton and cultivation than ever before
They are also taught to bring about
changes in the monotony of the aver
age rural home. to make life more
plen sant and worth living.
Rack Eoru.
New hopes and new ideas are bring
change In our rural life Is simply won
derful. Men who a few years aga
migrated to the city. seeking relief
from the drudgeries of the farm are
now buying back their old homes with
a view to bringing the land to its once
productive fertility.
The money that has been sent out
of the State for all sorts of schemes
is now being invested in the lands
of the Commonwealth. Why this grea,
change? Because these so-called worIl-
out lands have been made to produce
corn and grass. equal to any IN the
States. The people in Virginia are
cooperating as never before. The gov.
eminent, the State, the county. the
cities and the=Sailroads are working tc
one end. /. e.. the upbuilding of the
rural districts.
The Boys Corn Club work for 1910
encourages to a great extent the de-
velopment of the State. For instance
twenty-siX hoys in the State made
over 100 bushels of corn to the acre
The highest cost of production wa,
