l believe that agriculture is the
fundamental, and perhaps the most
important Of any of the industrial
pursuits, The consumption Of food
products in West Virginia Is far
greater than the supply. We have
much waste and worthless land in
West Virginia, which can be made to
bring good return. Much Of the
land now under cultivation is not
sufficiently productive. We ought,
therefore, to exert every effort to
develop our lands, conserve our soils
along practical lines and make them
productive of the things most profit
able, whether that be apples or blue
grass or something else
/ believe in the development Of
Cur natural resources, such as coal,
oil and gas land, but under such q
system as will prevent all unnecessary
waste, and will conserve for future
generations as much Of that product
as may be in keeping with our pres
ent needs.
We ought to develop our timber
lands, but under such conditions as
will best protect from destruction
that part Of the forest not now Of
sufficient size to be Of market value.
The average timber owner or lumber
man is helpless under our conditions
in West Virginia. In my judgment
the state should, in some way en-
courage and help in the proteIticL
and conservation Of our forests.
