! benefit to them after thsy have grown
to manhood.
It Is known everywhere that vir-
ginia Is tho greatest apple growing
State in the Union, and that IN tho
raising Of cattle there is no othor
State which excels Virginia, not even
excepting the cattle growing States
OF the far west. During the state
Fair visitor from Toronto, Canada,
bought $40 sheep In Richmond in
the course of four days. In sheep,
hogs cattle. corn. tobacco and pea
nuts, and all of tho rest OF her i'm

ginia leads the South. It has now be-
come one Of the great corn-growing
States Of tho Union, and In corn grow
ing. aftor the boys fairly settle down
to the work, Virginia Will become tho
greatest corn growing State In the
world.
The last annual report OF Commits
sioner I1oiner shows that In 1900 tho
farm produce OF Virginia aggregated
in value s12s,ooo,ooo The acreage
under cultivation In 1900 was 4.o30,soo
acres. In 1910 the value OF the farm
produce of Virginia aggregated $685..
100000. or s1o7.Ooo0oO more than in
1900, an average increase OF more
than $1o,oOo.000 the year. This shows
what progress we have been making
In Virginia In agriculture. but tho
story would not be complete If spe-
cial emphasis were not laid on the
fact that this increase of $1o7.000.o00
i'll ten years was made upon q reduced
acreage OF 6so,Soo acres. This shows
what can be done by scientific farm
ing. New methods. better seed, intelli-
gent fertilizlng, intensive farming are
the factors which have enabled the
farmers oultivating less land to make
larger and more profitable crops.
Every ambitious boy on the farm in
every county Of Virginia should begin
now to prepare his land for the great
contest at the next annual State Fair
in Richmond.
