Tells of Vireinia's Growth.

Captain John Lamb representative from the
Richmond district and chairman of the house
agricultural committee, pointed out today thst
Virginia has developed her agricultural and In
dustral resources to such degree IN the past
decade that today she is the wealthiest State IA
the South, barring Texas only.
Her development in the past ten years VIII
surpass any other IKE period III her history
said Captain Lamb The State is now be-
coming known for her agricultural achievements
and industrial resour1es.- Every day brings to
the state homeseekcrs farmers. manufacturers
and others who interested in the develop
luent of pig Iron, copper, zinc. cay, shale lime
stone and other minerals as Well as its water
power
Captain Lamb directed attention 10 the great
apple industry Of the Valley of Virginia. ire
Virginia apples are the best favored in the
world" said Captain Lamb. They are noted
for their quality wherever they are sold. orchads
in the State yield profits reaching $500 an acre
she exports also thousands Of highbred cal
tle,- which raised in the blue grass regions
Of the southwest section Of the state. Her corn
lands worth more an acre than the noted cotn
lands Of Kansas and Nebraska Ons farm in the
State produced ar alfalfa crop worth $4,000. Her
coal production has reached such stage that
today the Hampton Roads ports stand second IN
coal shipments In the world. Cardiff, Wales, hold
ing the first place.
'The total value Of farm lands and buildings

5S7 600 in 1900 an increase OF $3.50 100000 or 80

Tho iegal system Of the State OF LOUISIANA I.
ha Sed upon the Roman Sv law. That IS because
France colonized II and not England. The fact
is recalled III cropping ignorantly to explain why
New Orleans and Baton Rouge and other Louis
taua cities are able to 60 ahead with food pro-
lection work and be enjoined sued for

Perhaps the difference between the civil Law ana
the common law has nothing TO do With IL. Per
haps the temper or the Louisiana colonies account
for it, Perhaps the people Of that State simply
would not stand iniunCtions endangcring life ana

know that euit for damages. alleging that food

getting stuck for the costs.
But whatever the reason or reasons the e.

In the first verse of Genesis Moses
opened his account of the origin of
