II wish TO recall an incident which Is
officially recorded in the State. where
man left Richmond. and bought TWEEN
ty-six acres OF land five miles out Of
Richmond at a cost OF S.7o6. making a
payment OF 500, and had three cows,
which were the foundation of his pres
ent dairy herd OF thirty-three head and
seven heifers. This was in 1906. There
were no buildings or fences: the land
was bare and grown up with broom
sedge and sassafras bushes. At this
writing this man has a good dwelling
which cost s1.700. and a good barn, and
large ditch. and all necessary out
buildings Tho land will bring fifteen
barrels OF corn to the acre, and three
tons Of hay per acre. He has developed
into a practical and enthusiastic farmer.
This gives a fair example of what the
average man in the city, drawing the
average salary. could do in the country.
