Suggestion that a survey Of all unoccupied
land in the United States be made either by
the Federal government or by the several
States as step toward systematic cultivation
OF every acre of arabic space is made by a
correspondent whose letter is printed in an
other column on this page. 1t is a fact that
land now lying idle in this country if brought
under proper cultiva ton, would be sufficient
to produce abundance OF foodstuffs for
our OVID people and supply the needs OF our
allies across the Atlantic 1t is doubtful if
even in the State OF Virginia so per cent OF
the available land is being made to bring
forth fruits of its soil. The problem of labor
might be solved. ii is suggested, by the en-
ployment OF prisoners or by CONSUMPTION of
such persons as are not fit for military SER
vice. With labor thus secured and with
proper machinery and transportation, the
United States would be i'll position not only
to care for the allied world to-day. but to
become the market place OF the whole world
when the war is ended AS step in this
direction, the General Assembly might well
consider survey OF Nirginias unused lands
