: LITTLE MINING
Is Being Done Owing TO the
Fact That the Marker
is Weak.

There is but little demand Tor coal
which means there is practically nc
market for it. The mines Of the Con.
colidation Coal Company in thu
clarksbnrg and Fair-lont regions
have done but little work for a week
and are doing only$a little this week
owing to the fact that the company
has but few orders The independent
companies have not been quite SO
unfortunate The trade papers state
that the Cause of the slowness of the
market is an overstock. At some Of
the mines the output is being held on
the tracks awaiting a market

FARMERS RAISING
BETTER CROPS NOW
In the State Of West VIRGINIA
as Shown by the Crop
Reporter.

WASHINGTON, D. e.. Jan. 16-
That West Virginia farmers are get.
ting greater production per canita
than they have done in the past and
are increasing their production pei
acre at the present time is indicated
by the Crop Reports, a publication
OF the Agricultural Department Just
issued for January The results seen
to indicate that more scientific meth.
DDS are being employed by the far.
crops.
Especially is it true t corn in
West Virginia that the production
per acre is increasing. West vir-
ginia is one OF fourteen states in
which the increase in production OF
corn per acre in the last ten years
has exceeded the normal increase OF
population. The other states are
PENNSYLVANIA, Delaware, Maryland
Virginia, Ohio, Indiana, illinois,
Michigan, Wisconsin, South Dakota,
ad three mountain states.
In oats the increased production
per acre in West Virginia has also
exceeded the normal increase of pop
ulatiou in the last ten years. Many
New England, Atlantic coast, Ohio
valley and some wstern states are
included in the Est OF states which
showed greater increase in produc-
tion of oats than In population.
In the four decades 1s66-1S75,
1S7G-1sS5. 1SS6-1Ss5 and 1896
1905, the mean production of wheat
per acre increased steadily in West
Virginia, some Of the larger and
usually considered more prosperous
farming states being left out Of the
MIST OF states whose production OF
wheat per acre increased.
In tobacco, in the decade 1896
1905, Connecticut and New York
were the only conspicuous states
which failed to increase she amount
produced per acre.
West Virginia ~ one of the states
Yhich increased it's production per
acre of potatoes and it also increased
its per acre production of hay. AL
together. y may be seen from this
report that. the farmers OF West vir-
g4nia are the rivals. Of some of those
in some Of the best farming states
and are getting as much out OF their
land as the best OF them in any
state. 4
