Kentucky maintained In 1919 its

Jaceo among the States OF the Union.
The area of Kentucky land planted in
tobacco last year. according to the
bureau of statistics of the depart

acres, as compared with $3.50 In
1911 and $4,000 in 1910. The near

in Virginia North Carolina ranked
third. with an acreage OF 10000.
Kentucky's yield per acre in 1912
In given by the department of agri-
culture as $50 pounds, as against $50
pounds in 1911 and $40 in 1910 The
total yield Of the State therefore. is
computed at 342,9so.0o in 1911 and
1890, Gee in 1910. Virginia VAS sec

Editor of the Richmond Virginian.
l thank you for your suggestion
relative to name for my new hybrid
cantaloupe, which appeared In the
progress section Of your paper of sun
.say. January 18th. Among the many
suggestions received none have ap-
pealed 10 me with the game force as the
lame Virginia Beauty suggested by
you, and / have decided to adopt that
name.
A brief history of this remarkable
melon may be interesting to your
readers. The French eantaloupes are
mostly grown In Normandy. which is
The greatest trucking province In the
world. 1t is without doubt the lead
