May /, 1911
On April 25th D. NJ. Blankin-
ship, of Richmond, Field Agent of
the Division of Markets of the De-
partment of Agriculture, filled the
appointment made for Mr.. Moo
NAV, for that date.
Mr.. Blankinship brought splen-
did message, beginning his talk with
| few remarks on the crisis thatfac a
our nation, and particularly that
of the food situation, he said that
be did not mean to scare any one,
but the men who are in authority
and have the information realize
the critical conditions and are dailv
warning the people. One man in
making a patriotic address said
che would not say it was probable,
but it is possible that in year
from now the people of America
would be on food tickets the same
as in European countries now"
In speaking of the conservation
of our food supplies he urged to
raise more, grow. the right sort,
take care of it, have a surplus to
sell, raise all sorts of grains, beans,
peas, tomatoes, potatoes and all
sorts of roots, eliminating the I'M
necessary. Do all you can to in
crease the supply of cattle, hogs
and poultry.
He urged cooperation in every
thing, explaining the economic val
ue of cooperation to the communi-
ty as we'll as the individual both
in growing and marketing. -
Canning clubs are not practical
at this time owing to scarcity OF
tin cans and soaring prices of glass
jars-use all the cans you have,
buy now if you can, dry fruits of
all sorts too.
Mr.. Blankinship also told of the
Virginia agricultural council of de-
Tense and safety which Governor
Stuart expects to put into effect in
Virginia, to cooperate with the
National Council of Defense, each
county in the State Of Virginia will
be organized to do its part.
The address was both helpful and
interesting. Those present felt the
seriousness of the crisis which faces
our nation, and that it is not a
matter of few persons being in
terested, but that a responsibility
rests upon each individual, and it
would be so much better to plan to
"do our bit" before the call comes
as a demand. We have had the
"call" for some time; the question
which we cannot escape is, "What
are we going to do about it?'
We were sorry more people did
not come to hear Mr.. Blankinship's
message.
The question was asked, "Why
was not an itinerary arranged for
him so he could 60 all over the
cnunty?"
We do not know. We asked Mr..
Koiner for information; he sent it
by "word of mouth" free OF all
charges, and it was greatly appre-
ciated by all who heard it. Mac.

wnsn Leather was Money.

Leather was very early used as a
currency, the Romans employing it for
this purpose before either gold, silver
or brass came into common use. His
tory is fun of references showing that
leather was used by the ancients as a
sort of. circulating medium 'of ex-
change. 1t Is said on good authority
that so late as during the reign of
Louis XII. of France the country be-
came 80 impoverished and as a con-
sequence money was so scarce that lit

nail driven through each were In gen
eral use as money. Some few speci-
mems of this leather money are still in
existence.
