Of great annoyance to Germans to dis

1vor. Va. May 3.-The farmers of
Southampton have taken hold OF pro-
gressive methods of farming. Now
they are waking up to the fact that
Southampton can, and will, show that
her land Is equal to other parts OF the
State In fertility. c. J. Grizzard. agent
of the Farmers Cooperative Demon
strntion Work, possesses the missionary
spirit In exerting every effort to build
up.
The people are more impressed now
as TO the great possibilities In this
county in the dairy and fruit business,
and that Southampton can be made sec
ond TO no county in the State In an
agricultural sense. When the soils are
developed. as they will be, cheap land
will be a thing OF the past.
The conference held In Richmond
was great inspiration to those who
attended from this section, as can be
seen from the Second District meet
ing held In Suffolk recently. "Exten-
sion Work in Agriculture" was the un-
DERIVING principles of these meetings.
The business men of Suffolk have
demonstrated how cities and towns can
help promote agricultural DEVELOPMENT
There is a lesson for other Virginia
cities and towns in the experience of
Suffolk and It's enterprising business
men.
"a Ver! entluHIastio meeting WAS
held In CORTLAND last Monday. when
plans were outlined for the county fair
TO be held there this year Tho meet
Ing was largely attended by the farm
ers of southampton County Suffolk
and adjoining counties. AS the fair
held last year was such a success, 1t
didn't take long for those present to
outline plans for the coming fair. More
money will be expended this year in
premiums than heretofore. so as to en-
courage more interest in the fair.
