VIRGINIA LEADS
THE MIDDLE WEST
Facts and Figures Everybody
Ought to Be Familiar With
and Talk About.

No. many persons In Virginia know
that farm values In the Old Dominion,
even In staple products are ahead OF
the Middle Western States. yet such Is
the fact. as has been frequently set
forth in these columns, but 1t Is a
fact that VIII bear repeating when fav-
orable opportunity presents itself.
When one thinks OF wheat he thinks
of Kansas. and yet the acreage value
Of wheat in Virginia exceeds that OF
Kansas. In corn Virginia leads tho
country. acreage value in 1912 being
$lT.04. In oats Virginia excellcd every
State except Iowa. Virginia's acreage
value on hay was ahead OF any State
in the Union. and only Pennsylvania
had slight lead in the matter of po
tatoes.
Statistics show that It would pay the
Western farmer to sci, out his $3.50
land and move to Virginia to make
the same crop that he made out West.
for the reason that he can get lands
cheaper. and the crops he raises will
net him more money with less labor.
