VIRGlNIA'S CROPS.

According to the figures coutain-
ed in thecrop- report dated Nov.
10 of the Bureau Ct Statistics of
the United States Department of
Agriculture, Virginia has been
greatly blessed III the matter of
crops for 1912. Comparisons are
made with the conditions of 1912,
and also with the general conditions
throughout the United States. In
both cases it is shown that crops
are larger than were those of last
year, and that the yield in Virginia
is greater than the average for the
country at large.
The average yield of corn per
acre in Virgi ia for 1871 is 26 bush
els against "a bushels in 1912; in
the United States this year it is %
bushels against 292 last wear
The State produced 81 ,4S0, 90 bush
els against AZ, $4,000 last year. a
considerable gain, while for the
country as a whole the yield is only
| , ,463 $4,000 bushels, a large fall
ing off from the 1874, 746 900 Of a
wear ago. This should make the
corn prices high and the Virginia
farmerc with good crop will reap
the profit.
Further in the matter of quality
Of corn, Virginia registers So,
whereas it was only IS last year,
and in the United States is 80 20 a
falling off from the 1912 fgureS5 5.
The yield of potatoes i'll Virginia
Der acre is Cd bushels: compared
with 81 bushels in 1912. In tie
United States it is S92. against
lis 4 last year. Production in
this State is 9, 1900, 900 bushels and
in 1912 it was S,565, 900. The
country over the production is
32S, $50 600 a drop from 420,647,
800 last year. The quality in Vir-
ginia is off | per cent fronS9 to S.
while in the United States it Is
from 90.5 to 81 50.
OF course, in apples the yield Is
very shurt because of the late dis
.strous frosts. 1t is onlv 80 pei

year. The country at large farce

Virginia's general good fortune
this year is also shown in the ylelt
of sweet potatoes, of which she has
1OS per cent of an average crop.
Wheat is treated ia the bulletin

A Valuable Suggestion
Important To Everyone

1t is now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more
attention as they Sontrol the othcr
organs to remarkable degree and
do tremendous lot of work III
removing the poisons and waste
matter from the system by flterlne
the blood.
During the winter months, es-
pecialIy, when we live an indoor
life, the kidneys should receive some
assistance when needed, as we TAKE
less exercise, drink less water and
often eat much more rich heavy
food, thereby forcing the kidneys
to do more work than Nature in
tended. Evidence of kidney trou-
bic such as lame back, annoying
bladder troubles, smarting or burn
ing, brick dust or sediment, salloW
complexion, rheumatism, may BE,
weak or irregular heart action, warn
you that your kidneys require hi p
Immediately to avoid more serious
trouble.
Many physicians claim that an
herbal medicine containing no
minerals or opiates has the most
healing influence. An ideal herbal
compound that has had most re
markable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root.
You may receive a sample bottle
of Swanp-Root by Parcels Post.
Address DR.. Kilmer & Co., Bing-
bamton, n. Y, and enclose ten
