"yIRGINIA THE IDEAL
HOME FOR THE FARMERo
Virginia Is the Ideal home for the
farmer" said Commissioner Koinor.
The agricultural progress in this State
during the past decade has been I'M
precedented. Better farming can be seen
on every hand. This has been brought
about by the diversif1cation of crops. by
tho use OF modern. labor-saving ma
chincry, by tho more careful improve
ment and cultivation of the soil, by Inn
provcment In breeding live stock, and
growing more grass and forage crops
and by the large Increase OF and bet
ter care given to orchard lands. Extern
sion Of the great trucking fields of tho
state is another cause.
"One-fourth OF our farmers now de-
rive their principal income from 1.-Two
stock. All these improvements have in
creased the value OF crops in Virginia
enormously. Values have increased
from $l29,oo0.oo0. produced in 1900 from
100000 acres. to S236, 100000 produced
last year from less than the acreage OF
1900. Our farmers have learned to pro-
duce $10f 100000 more crops on 10000
ten years ago"
Tho officers OF the department expect
the largest attendance on record for the
Farmers Institutes to be held along tho
lines OF the Chesapeake and Ohio.

HIGHER PAY FOR
NAVAL MECHANICS
Daniels Plan to Keep Them
From Private
Plants
EXPECT TO HOLD
VALUABLE MEN

WASHINGTON, July 14.-In an ef-
fort to retain the services of skilled
mechanics employed in the Washing
ton Navy Yard. the Secretary of the
! Navy contemplates increasing the
wage scale that obtains in that in
stitution AS a result of the activi-
ties in arms making factories many
of the men in the Washington Navy
Yard have been offered better wages
in private employment. Many have
Quit the yard on this account, and
the fear is expected that many others
may do likewise.
The matter will be brought TO the
attention of what is known as the
wage board, which will meet in De-
cember. This wage board. which is
made up of officers of the Navy and
| representatives of the men, fixes the
rate of compensation for the yard,
basing Il on the rates that prevail in
private factories.
II is admitted by officials of the de-
partment that in view of the demand
by private corporations for just such
skill as is utilized in the Washing
ton Navy Yard that the wage scale
must be increased if the government
is to retain the services of its skilled
mechanics. Secretary Daniels ex-
/ pressed the hope today that mas
much as the private corporations are
not in a position to offer the navy
lyard men longtime contracts, owing
to the uncertainty as to the dura-
ton of the war, that they would be
content with increases such as the
government would be likely to au-
thorize. The matter has been brought
TO an acute stage at this time owing
to the recent per cent. reduction,
which was made by authority Of Con-
gress to equalize the pay of the men
/ in the Washington Navy Yard and
the mechanics employed at the Indian
Head Md Proving Grounds.
Secretary Daniels expressed the
hope that the yard men would stick
to their jobs. Il think in the long
run the government service will be
better for them" he said. 1T is true
private corporations are offering
higher wages at this time, but this
will come to an end with the close of
the war"

TALKS ON THRIFT
NATIONAL ECONOMY

die for a good while TO come The
United States should be in a position
to take its place as international pur-
veyor OF capital
Il must not be forgotten that We
shall require a large amount of money
TO finance our own enterprises which
hitherto have been accustomed TO 30
abroad for loans. To meet this de-
mand, to take back our securities from
Europe and TO provide for the inter-
national financing already coming TO
us as a result of the war. and Nhicn
is bound TO come in an over-increas-
ing volume, we must bring about a
prompt and material addition TO the
saving capacity Of our population.
The idea that prevailed in Europe
previous to this disastrous. war was to
use everything that was available and
to throw away nothing that could be
used TO great or small advantage. On
account OF the scarcity OF land In the
producing sections intensive farming
had been brought down 10 an exact
science. with the result that in these
times of stress there can be enough
produced upon a limited acreage TO
keep the people from starvation II
this habit of saving we're practised
more in this country our people would
be In a far better condition TO take
care of themselves should some dan
gerous emergency arise in the fu-

when so much Of individual benefit,

profit, could be derived from the gem
