The title OF this collection OF poems
hardly gives an adequate Idea Of the va

sure there are war poems-''War Bells"
''valediction Militaris." "The Modern
War Machine"-and also poems Of peace;
but in addition there are verses descrip-
tive of the festivals Of Thanksgiving,
Christmas and New Year. of the beauties
Of nature and the joys of bob-sledding,
a number of hymns and religious verses.
as well as In memoriam stanzas. All
are written with the assurance OF one
who has experienced much in the realms
OF mind and spirit.

Thousands of cases of Hog Cholera
and other contagious and infectious
diseases have been treated, and the
disease controlled The Department
has exerted every possible effort for
the control and eradication of Tuber.
culosis from our dairy herds.
1t is within the present administra-
tion that the Crop Pest Law was en-
acted, which will result in the control
or eradication of many insects and
crop pests now doing so much damage
to the crops and orchards in West Vir-
ginia.
The Pure Seed Law Is another work
for the Department of Agriculture to
enforce, and although in effect only a
few months, is having a beneficial
effect in the better quality of seeds
shipped into the State.
Few people realize the wonderful
agricultural possibilities Of West Vir-
ginia. We are shipping into the state
annually millions worth of fruit and
trucks which should be grown at home.
West Virginia has thousands Of acres
of land at ten and fifteen dollars per
acre, on which can be grown with rea-
sonable regularity, better apples than
can be grown on the much advertised
lands in Hood River and Winaehe Val
ley, which is selling from one thousand
to three thousand dollars per acre.
This condition has been brought about
by impressions made by the false, but
glowing advertisements of other
lands. The State Department of Agri-
culture is using every possible means
to correct these erroneous impressions
both at home and abroad by conserya-
tive advertising. The land show at
Chicago in December, 1913, aroused a
great deal of interest in the great
future of West Virginia agriculture
The $4,000 feet of moving picture film
representing the agricultural and in
dustrial possibilities of the State, was
taken during the following year, and
exhibited at the Panama-Pacific Ex-
position, and is, perhaps, the best adj
vertising ever given for the State at
any time or place.
And it cost the State Treasury abb
solutely nothing. 1t was made to pay
its own way and over a thousand dol
lars additional, and the Department
still owns twenty-five thousand feet of
film, worth more than the original
cost. This film will be shown all over
West Virginia as soon as possible and
arrangements are now being made
with an eastern film exchange, where
by a part of this film will go into the
''See America First Series" which will
put West Virginia on the screen
throughout this and other countries
If these things are worth while, il
would be we'll TO extend the service
under its present management as time
