Some Questions Answered.

iuiiy answer ABOUT tnfee Ques-
tions that are being asked all
over Wise County at the pres
ent time.
Here are the questions;
% What's the matter with
businesst
(2.) Why is everything so
high?
(3.) Why does a man have
to spend everything he makes
for something to eat.
Here are the answers:
The Excelsior Supply Com
pnny, of Norton, (ouly one of
the six or eight grocery stores
in that town have sold ELEVEN
HUNDRED pounds Of creamery
butter at Toe per pound since
the first OF last November. That
money goes TO Ohio and Ken
lucky dairies aud we never see
it any more 1t goes out OF
circulation so far as we are
concerned
One of tn merchandise
brokers at Norton, during the
month of February, sold rRS
CAR LOADS of corn other things
i'll proportion. That money
goes to the farmers OF the Mid
die West, and iHs good bye
Brother Watkins Every few
days the wholesale houses at
Norton get in IA car load OF po
tatoes. Other vegetable of ev-
cry description are being ship
ped into this County 10y tons
every week. That money is
sent out to various parts of the
country, aud it's good bye
again
How do you expect any sec
tion to prosper under such CON
ditionsf No matter IL we do
send out coal by the train loads
No matter il we do have large
pay-rolls. 1t takes the biggest
part of that money TO feed us.
An outsider put it very apply. il
profanely, some time ago when
he said: "You are acting the
d d fool why don't you
fence up these lands and make
them produce something"
OF course we eau not compete
with other parts of the country
in raising wheat. We can at
ford to buy our flour. Bur there
is absolutely no use for a single
potato, a single bushel of corn,
single pound of butter. a
single tomato, bean. cabbage,
or apple or pound of hay being
shipped into this County. They
ought 10 be raised here.
And mark the prediction,
people are going to wake up to
this fact before long. With po-
tatoes s. q bushel, with corn
$l2o per busheI, with may at
$50 per ton and expected to
reach $40, with every conceiva-
bic thing that goes on the table
or Is used to feed stock soaring
at the highest prices known,
something is going 10 happen,
and that pretty soon Wise
Virginian.
The indications are fine for
the largest fruit crop this year
this country has ever known.
The farmers are getting busy
now with their spring blowing
and crops, and in a short time
corn planting will be tho order
Of the day.
