Inonstrous serpents, curl around the
trunks and writhe in tangles through
the air. And all about is the mud, soft
mud, that bubbles forth gases and that
heaves and signs with internal. agita-
tons. And in the midst of all this
are a dozen of US. We are lean and
wretched, and our bones show through
our tight stretched skins. We do not
sing and chatter and laugh. We play
no pranks. For once our volatile and
exuberant spirits are hopelessly sub
dued. We make plaintiye, querulous
noises, look at one another and clus-
ter close together. 1t is like the meet
ing of the handful of survivors after
the day of the end of the world.
This event is without connection
with the other events in the swamp.
How we ever managed to cross it
do not know, but at last We came out
where low range of hills ran down
to the bank of the river. 1t was our
river emerging like ourselves from the
great swamp. On the south bank,
where the river had broken its way
through the hills, we found many
sandstone caves. Beyond, toward the
west, the ocean doomed on the bar
that lay across the rivers mouth. And
here in the caves we settled down in
our abiding place by the sea. ~
There were not many of us. From
time to time as the days went by
more of the folk appeared. They drag
ged themselves from the swamp sin
ely and in two and three, more dead
than alive, mere perambulating skele-
tons, until at last there were thirty
of us. Then no more came from the
swamp, and Red Eye was not among
US. 1t was noticeable that no children
had survived the frightful Journey.
shall not tell in detail of the years
we lived by the sea. 1t was not a
happy abiding place. The air was
raw and chill, and we suffered con-
tinually from coughing and colds. We
could not survive in such an environ
ment. True, we had children, but they
had little hold on life and died early,
while We died faster than new ones
were born. Our number steadily di.
minished.

etables and fruits and became fish
eaters. There were mussels and aba.
ZONES and clans and rock oysters and
great ocean crabs that were thrown
upon the beaches in stormy weather;
also we found several kinds of sea-
weed. that were good to eat. But the
change in diet caused us stomach
troubles, and none of US ever waXed
fat. We were all lean and dyspeptic
looking. 1t was in getting the big
abalones that Lop Ear was lost. One
OF them closed upon his fingers at low
tide and then the fioodtide came in
and drowned him. We found his body
the next day, and it was a lesson to
us. Not another one of US was ever
caught in the closing she'll of an aba
lone.

MIR. Harrison had summarized the
Virginia figures. and gave them as
follows:
The department estimates OF crop
yields In Virginia in 1915 as compared
with 1914 are: corn. Go5G2 900 bushels
an increase OF 53.7? per cent: wheat,
i6.9Ii.o00 bushels. an increase OF 5O27

a decrease OF 1898 per cent: peaches.
100000 bushels an increase Of i2.1Q
per cent. and pears. 26l 900 bushels. an
increase OF ll.5i per cent.
You Will observe" said MIR. flar-
rison. that the only crops showing
decreases are cotton and apples. but
owing 10 better prices, the value Of the
1915 Virginia cotton crop was only
$4,000 less than that OF 1914. and the
value OF the 1916 apple crop was ST.
10000 greater than the 1914 crop.
The total farm value. as estimated by
the department. OF all the crops csti-
mated for Virginia in 1915. was SllS-
10000, an increase OF $4,000 600, or
S3.5i per cent over 1914. Virginia

Large One Day Shipment.

When the last freight train pulled
out of the big overland yards on
January 81, it was found that a new
shipping record had been established
by the Willys.Oyerland company. EX-
actly 722 automobiles had been ship
ped during the day
This is not only the high water
mark for the big Toledo factory but
It stands as a record never before
eQualed by any other manufacturer
of medium or high-priced cars.
In the height of the spring selling
a days shipment of 722 cars would
be considered a remarkable perform
ance even in this time of tremendous
productions. But when that number
of automobiles is shipped out to
purchasers in the dead of winter,
with half the country buried in snow,
it is nothing short of phenomenal
The cars were routed north, east,
south and west, and Overland
officials declare that this early act
ivity on the part of the purchasers
is but a forerunner of what may be
expected this spring. All indications
point toward the greatest year in the
history of the automobile industry and
dealers in every section of the coun-
try are making preparations for the
