ihe uSures that Mr.. Davis used be-

'icn. rake Wisconsin, for instance. a
quarter OF 4 century ago there was lit
tie or no butter made tol outside sale
in that State, and not Il pound of cheese
was produced. The people did like the
people i'll NirSinia--inaue a little but
ter FOR home consumption ard sent out
OF the State for what th"y lacked in
the butter line and for all of their
cheese They later thought better of
this thing, and commenced to do dairy
and creamery work along the very
lines that the Industrial Section and
Westmorclnnd Davis are now preach
Ing to Virginia
There are now In Wisconsin more
than Loco creamcries. There are o.
600 cheese factories. There are ninety
establishments that sell only pure
cream and there are twenty establish
ments that make CONDENSED milk for
sale ali over the wide, vide world, and
at Racine, in that state, Is the famous
factory Of the Horlicks, who consume
the product of over 1000 COWS is maxi
ing the matted milk.
Last year Wisconsin sold 100000 900

was sold outside of the state. and the
cheese factories sold outside of the
state liu00o,0o0 pounds OF cheese. Tho

Here Is the Tip.
The figures Tor ILLINOIS are much
larger than those of Wisconsin, but
Illinois has been pushing the dairy ana
creamery business much longer than
Wisconsin. In fact, Wisconsin got Tho
Tip from Illinois What i want and
what Wcstmoreland Davis wants is for
Virginia to take the same Tip.
| do not think / cXaSSerate at all
when say That Go per cent OF the hut
ter consumed in Richmond, and in all
OF Virginia, as for that matter, is ship
ped here from the two States OF Illinois
and it will not be very long, for Old
Virginia IS waking NJ, and do believe
tho zine Is not far distant when this
viii ne one OF the lead rs among the
states in the creamery ana dairy farm
business. Men like WestmOr-land Davis
and r. Q. SANDY and George Robson
and ". c. Saunders are letting a pace
that VIII be followed and preaching
doctrine tina; VIII have good effect.
Virginia should be the ial:y and cream
cry centre of the country, and these
men are going to help make 1t so.
