FIRST EXHIBIT MADE
OF VIRGINIA CHEESE
Wisconsin Sent 100000 Worth of
Cheese to Three Virginia
Cities Last Year.
CAN SUPPLY DEMAND HERE
No Reason Why This State Should
Import 100000 Pounds OF
Creamery Butter, Says State Dairy
and Food Commissioner Purcell.

Cheese was exhibited at the Virginia
State Fair for the first time this year.
and the quality Of this new product
was favorably commented on The ex-
hibit was along with tho display OF
creamery butter, and exhibitors OF
both were given high scores by an ex-
pert who examined them yesterday. !,
The cheese industry is practically
new. while the creameries have made
wonderful strides In the past few years.
State made more than 100 pounds a
day, but now there are several making
from 500 to 700 pounds each day. The
quality is better than ever before.
State Dairy and Food Commissioners
Purcell thinks that tho next few years
will show wonderful advancement in,
both cheese and butter manufacturing
in Virginia. Last year there was sent
into the State 100000 pounds OF
creamery butter. while W1sconsin sent
100000 worth OF cheese to three Vir-
ginia cities. Mr.. Purcell Is of the opln-
people of the State fill this demand

We're taken prisoners. In former cam
paigns the Indians had tortured the
whites, and Naldivia. in order to ter
rify them, ordered that the right hands
and noses of the prisoners should be
cut off After that they were allowed
to go back to their tribes.
Fighting of this kind went on for
years and during it Valdivia was cap
tured and tortured to death He was
carried. naked and bound, through the
woods to an Indian camp. and certain
authorities say that the AraucanianS
poured molten gold down his throat.
But the story of these Indian wars
would take many pages. The braves
had their great chiefs in the persons of
Lautero and Caupolican, now honored
by statues in the Chilean capitol. 1t is
enough to say that they We're gradually
subdued by the Spaniards and their
lands were taken from them just as we
have taken the lands of our Indians.
They are much like our Indians now,
being settled upon reservations or upon
individual farms, which they are not
permitted to sell. The race of the past
has been decimated by drunkenness
and disease. and 1t grows fewer every
year. 1t comprises now less than 10000,
and of these about 10000 are scattered
over this province of Temuco and the
country adjoining.
Most of the holdings are in reserva-
tons set aside by the government. The
lands are not held in common, but are
divided among the families, so many
acres being given to each person. a
baby gets the same amount of land as
an old man of sixty. If one of the
family dies there is new subdivi-

I am surprised at the extent of the
Indian farms and the crops The
farms are mostly worked by the whites
or half-breeds, who are hired by the
Indians for share of the crop. On one
Araucanian farm l saw 4 white man
plowing and upon another an intelli-
gent Chileno was threshing wheat,

dian farmer had about 200 acres in
wheat, and his sons were harvesting
this with the aid of white men. They
used Mccormick headers. pushed along
through the fields by oxen, yoked to
the machine by their horns. The heads
of the grain dropped into a wagon, in
which they went to the thresher. In
this work white Chileno did the
driving, and the Indians urged the oxen
onward with goads. tipped with iron.
The oxen were so cruelty treated that
the blood ran down their backs. The
white driver told me that he got per-
centage of the crop for his work.
