STICK A PIN HERE.

The FirgintGn every now and then takes oc-
casion to point out for the edi1cation of its
readers the glorious possibilities this Common
wealth presents from an agricultural standpoint
Here's another instance in which those interested
may stick a pin
On the farm of G. G. Hartley, near West
Point Va, three acres were planted in head
lettuce in 1911. The yield was very prolific
and most of the crop was shipped to Chicago,
The quality was fine, and consequently brought
high prices, and Mr.. Hartley is authority for
the statement that he realized $4,000 from the
three acres of lettuce.
Within the past week q wealthy citizen OF
Illinois, attracted by Captain Jacks performance
of netting last season $4,000 on his alfalfa
farm, has come to Virginia to locate. We trust
this item will meet the eye of other such de-
sirable citizens in the West who are kicking
against the pricks in effort to make poor
farming lands pay equitable returns. In Vir-
ginia there is a universal gold mine In the soil
anything that grows. except the tropical fruits
will grow here and grow nearer perfection and
yield handsomer profits than in any other State
in the Union and there are acres and acres
yet awaiting the magic touch of the tiller.
Now-as was recently noted in these columns
we are successfully growing cotton. But there
is no limit to the possblities-one might write
volumes and never do justice to it.

that the fish industry will be seriously damaged
by the shock of the big guns Of the warships
which INDUCED in target practice off Tangier
last week, the firing killing thousands of the
fnny tribe and driving away all fish within a
radius Of many miles. Along with this report
comes another that farmers from all around
the Tidewater section are claiming that the
chicken industry has been demoralized by rea-
son of the fact that the conclusion from the big
guns on the warships has ruined the spring
setting of the eggs,
We here and now call upon Secretary Josephus
Daniels to issue orders designating some other
practice ground for his boats. There Is plenty
of water on this globe Of to permit of an
indulgence by the navy department of this re-
creation without depriving us of our cherished
fried fish and spring chickens toast.
