HILMAS SAFE
WAS ROBBED
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
John Hilmas, proprietor of the
Suomi saloon, located on lower Chest
nut street says he has been robbed of
1892 in silver, gold and bills which he
kept in the safe at his place OF bust
ness. Hilmas is of the opinion that
burglars entered his place during Sun
day night, although he did not dis
cover the loss of the money until yes
terday afternoon. How they effected
an entrance he is at loss to know,
as all the doors were locked and there
was no evidence of forcible entrance
being effected. The police are of the
opinion that somebody we'll familiar
with the place took the money and are
working on that theory.

EACH VIRClNIAN
EATS FIVE EGGS
EVERY 7 DAYS
Expert Figures Average to Show
Opportunity for Chicken
Farms Here.
SCHOOL STUDENTS TO
BE REAL GARDENERS
Preparation Being Made for
Home Vegetable Plots;
Opens Campaign.

From Mondays Daily.
Each man, woman and child in Vir-
ginia eats five eggs every week.
Estimating Virginia's population at
$1,000, that means $4,000 eggs are
consumed here each week.
This average was compiled Satur-
day by N. E. Chapman, poultry ex-
pert of the state dairy and food COM
mission, who addressed a meeting of
farmers at the Technical high school,
and who investigated the egg market
here
Mr.. Chapman pointed out that this
is an excellent field for chicken farms
and he urged more attention to it on
the part of the farmers. "Just figure
out how many dozens of eggs are con-
sumed here week and you will agree
with me that poultry raising ought
to be lucrative occupation in Vir-
ginia," said the speaker.
Select Good Sire.
Superintendent Dickinson of the
Duluth & Iron Range demonstration
farm at Meadowlands talked on dairy
ing. He emphasized the Importance
of thoroughbred sire and said that
the best success could only be attained
by building the herd from the head
down. A dam that had an average
Of 400 pounds of butterfat should be
chosen, he said. He mentioned no
breed as particularly adapted to this
section, but used the Holstein as an
illustration. Mr.. Dickinson said that
each year finds more farmers in this
part of the state engaged in dairying
and that those who are making
study Of it are meeting with marked
success.
Progress in Gardening.
County Agricultural Agent Van
Wagenen told Of the progress that is
being made in home gardening. He
said that Virginians, planting gardens
FOR the first time, should find little
difficulty in raising enough veget-
ables to supply their tables this year
and next year ought to branch out,
having had a seasons experience to
help them.
A. B. Hostetter, district agricultural
agent, urged the organization of farm
ers' clubs. He advised specialization,
in potato raising, saying that proper
attention to one variety should re-
suit in easier marketing and better
prices. The farmers club, he said,
should market the produce. He point
ed to the necessity of cooperation
among the farmers.
Professor Johnsrud, the new direct
or of agriculture in the Virginia
schools, said this morning that be-
tween 800 and 1000 boys and girls
will enter the garden contest this
spring. Prizes will be given for the
BEST garden and the best specimens.
Students Interested.
Mr.. Johnsrud has opened his cam
oaign to interest the students in gar
1ening. He spoke in some of the
grade classrooms today and began his
series Of seed testing demonstrations.
The organization of farmers clubs
will occupy much Of his time from now
On. He also will assist the students
in planting and caring for their veget-
able plots.
While the farmers meeting was not
as largely attended as expected it
demonstrated that interested in agri-
culture is growing in this district.
Other meetings will be arranged by
Mr.. Johnsrud.
