VIRGLNIA'S FARM CROPS

The figures of the United
States Census, just released,
as to the farm crops Of the
country are highly interest
ing. The total value of Vir-
ginia's farm crops for 1919,
was S292,842,212, as against
S89, 775,045 in 1909; that is,
three times the money value.
Of this value, about 100
millions were in cereals; IL
millions in hay and forage;
55 millions in vegetables, in
Guiding potatoes and sweet
potatoes; and all other crops
about 81 millions.
The Texas farm crops for
1919 amounted to over a bill
lion dollars; the second and
third, respectively, were
Iowa, with 800 millions, and
Illinois, with S64 millions.
North Carolina, our neigh
Dor to the south, produced
over half a billion, and
Maryland, to the north, 100
millions; for the year 1919.
The entire United States
produced for the same year,
a total of S14, 755, $685. 07, as
against a similar total Of
about five billions for 1909.
Of course this unusual in
crease of nearly 200 per cent,
In the ten years, was due to
the war. In Texas, consider
ably over one-half the values
were due to one crop, cotton.
It is evident, from a COM
parison with other southern
states, that Virginia is not
producing anywhere near
her capacity. But we be-
lieve, with the present
undermining her agrieal--
ture and the stimulus given
by the agricultural schools,
state and federal agencies,

Cows Highly Priced.

The cows of Periguex. France, which
serve not only as milk givers. but a
draft animals, are highly priced by
their peasant owners. and nothing that
can add to the comfort of the valu-
able animals is neglected. They are
protected from the annoyance Of
swarms of flies which infest that part
Of France by quaint hand-crOcheted
|eils which cover the entire head and
hang down almost to the ground. The
wells themselves are works of art. with
long silky fringes of varying hues. or
borders of crOcheted lace. In schools
which are aided by the Junior Red
Cross of America, French children are
taught TO crochet, and so can make
these useful wells.

BogaIusa "Not Boom Town." But Booming Just the
Same Is What the Feature Writer of the Best Trade
Journal Manufacturers Record Thinks of Bogaiusa
Its Citizens and Our Future-Ihe Basis OF Industrial
Permanently for BOgalusa.

Presented herewith is the first of
a series of articles describing the
birth and growth of Bogalusa, a city
of 10000 population, which came
into existence II years ago in the
heart of a pine forest in Louisiana.
A sawmill, the largest of its kind IN
the world, was the first development
and a model city was established for
the workers even before the mills was
ready for operation. Paper mills to
use the refuse were started, and
these have expanded until Bogaiusa
will become the greatest paper-mak-
ing center in the South and one OF
the greatest in the country. DiversI-
fled Industries have also been estab-
Iished, with others to be added from
time to time. To insure perpetuity
to the remarkable development I'M
der way, an elaborate and carefully
worked out plan of reforestation has
been established, which, with the vast
acreage owned by the Great South
ern Lumber Company, will insure a
permanent timber supply for all
time.
Mr.. Courtenay DeKalb, a diotin-
guished engineer, chemist and tech
meal expert, has made a careful
study of the entire situation on the
ground. The first of his enlighten-
ing articles on Bogalusa and its great
development follows.-EditOr Manu-
