LET'S FINISH THE JOB

What does it mean to finish the
job? Does it mean close up and stop
work? Certainly not that, but it does
mean that as long as Home Service
Section. is not completing it's war
w ,rk it is not fulfilling it's obligat-
ion to the ex-service men.
The number of fighting men dis
abled through sickness and disease
is far greater than those disabled By
wounds. Of this number $4,000 men
have been discharged from the Army
due to mental and nervous diseases.
For every one thousand persons in
your community you can look for one
victim either of tuberculosis CT q
mental nervous disease. If your coun
ty has a population of 10000 you can
count on having an average Of 10
such disabled men. If your community
has a populoticn of $4,000 you con
look for so such mon.
Is The War Over For These Men?
Is your Home Service Section pre-
pared to show your community that
every soldier, sailor or marine who
has come back has either returned to
civil life and is self supporting or
that the services OF the Red Cross
have been offered to him?
Has Every Individual Ex-se1vice Man
Been Reached in Order that He
Might Know How the Red
Cross Can Help Him
There is due the Potomac Division
$4,000 per month for ex-service
men from Federal training alone.
This means that 5000 men in this
Division are not receiving this train
ing to which they are entitled. In adj
dition there is due these service men
large sums for compensation, Govern
ment insurance, undelivered bonds
back travel pay, and unpaid allot-
ments. This means that there are
thousands of men in this Division
who are not receiving what the Gov
eminent owes them.
ARE ANY OF THESE MEN IN
YOUR comfy?

JULY REPORT SHOWS
CROPS IMPROVED

The outstanding feature of The
July crop report for Virginia issued
by the U. S. bureau of crop estimates
is the marked improvement in all
field chops On June | the condition
of all field crops was below the ten
year average. Due to the fact that
June has been a favorable month for
growth, harvest and cultivation, the
July condition of all crops except
wheat rye harley and hav. is auna'
to or above the average condition
for the past ten years. The report
also shows that the acarege of pro-
tatoes, tobacco, and cotton has in
creased over the last year. while the
acarege devoted to corn, sweet pota-
toes timothy and peanuts is less
than last year. The net decrease for
eleven principal crops is 10000 ac-
res or about per cent. A survey in
April above per cent reduction in
the intended crop acarege. This in
dictates that the Virginia farmers
have put more than they ORIGINALLY
planned in order to overcome the ap
parant shortage Of food crops. The
scarcity Of labor is the chief cause
of the reduction.
The corn acarege is estimated to
be 100000 acres, compared with
100000 last year or decrease OF
5 per cent. The condition is SO per
cent of normal, compared with 81
per cent last year and So per cent
cent the ten year average. The crop
is late, the stand irregular due to
repianting but the plants have an ex
liant color and fields have been
we'll cultivated. The corn acarege for
the United Estates is estimated to be
is per cent larger than last year.
The white potato acarege has in
creased per cent over last year.
This increase is due 20 the larger
acarege On the eastern shore, which
has about 35 per cent of the total
states acarcge over the whale state.
The scarcity and high price of seed
has tended to reduce the acarege
planted to the late crop. The condit
ion is SO Fer cent compared with 80
per cent last year and the estimated
production is 3S7, 5S6,000 bu compa-
ed with 351,901, 900 in 1919 and
411,S6O,0O0 in 1918.
The prospect for apples has de-
clined during the month. due to
heavy June drought. The condition is
now 60 per cent Of normal, compared
with 70 per cent lost month and
81 per cent the ten year average.
The commercial crop is estimated to
be 100000 bbls,, which is the some
as the final production last year.
The condition Of peaches is IT per
cent of normal, compared with IA
per cent last month. The crop is
good in all parts of thestate but es-
pacially heavy in the Albemarle and
Roanoke districts.
