Any industry. in order TO be per-

good foundation. That toundation
must have four good solid. substantial
corner-stones to rest upon.
The great trucking industry OF East-
ern Virginia has tho best OF founda-
sions, and the superstructure being
built thereon Ii simply immense, and
getting more SO every year.
The four coruer-stones, or essen
tial features, are: The soil. the cit-

must be a soil warm. kind and pro

Mammoth steamers and long railway
trains leave Norfolk harbor every day
for Washington, Baltimore, Philadel-

consuming centers in themselves. but
they are gateways or distributing
points through which the mountains
of truck crops from Eastern Virginia
find their way to fully 3o.0e0.090 con-
snmers.
Then the man behind this feature
must do his duty: must manage and

The Valley OF Virginia in old
Virginia consists Of the counties
of Rockbridge, Augusta. Rock
ingham, Page, Shenandoah. War
rem, Clarke and Frederick.
The limestone formation gener-
ally predon,inates and the soil is
very fertile and capable with inn
proved and scientific methods OF
enormous production. The main
agricultural products are wheat,
corn, hay and apples. Great num-
bers of horses, cattle, sheep and
hogs are raised annually; and
owing to the proximity Of northern
markets, huge shipments OF eggs,
butter and poultry are sent to
New York, Philadelphia, Balu-
more, Washington and Pittsburg.
y The Valley is said by experts
from the Agricultural Department
at Washington to contain a large
area of the best apple land in
the world. Many part OF the
Valley, especially Augusta and
Frederick counties are becoming
a vast orchard. Frederick county
produced last fall about 100000
barrels.
The real estate in the Valley
counties is assessed at S34,93S,o07

Wealth of the Valley of Virginia
Bv RICHARD EVELYN BYRD Speaker The Virginia House Of Delegates

573- The assessment of all classes
Of personal property and all real
estate shows a much higher aver
age than the average Of all the
other counties in the State. The
total valuation Of personal prop
erty in Augusta is exceeded by
only three counties, Henrico, Nor
folk and Loudon. Harrisonburg is
perhaps the greatest horse market
in the State, and this town is
making wonderful progress. OF
its size Winchester is one Of the
richest towns in the South and
Frederick county which now pro-
duces one-fourth OF the commercial
apples produced in the State will
in ten years market more high
grade apples than any county OF
similar territory in the United
States. Warren county breeds
five grade of hunting horse which
is sold in the Northern markets.
So does the little county Of Clarke
which has more fertile land pro-
portioned to its size than any
county in the State or perhaps in
the Country.
Owing to the abundance OF ma
terial which everywhere prevails
the Valley roads are very much
the best in the State.
The Valley has homogeneous
white population, industrious hon.
est and intelligent and is entering
upon career OF unecxampled pros
perity.
