is keen for new business. especially
for orders OF more than ordinary di-

littlo business has been put

shipment to Germany and France ut

ever, the lnrge interests arc not
pressing for business and holding
their quotations fully up to the 14c

Tin has been weaker in response to
heavy selling by Chinese interests

BLACKSBURG. VA. Jan. 2s
There are some people in the Valley
OF Virginia and in the Southwest who
are rather promo to mako fun of
Eastern Virginia farmers. but n
study OF the 1921 census figures
would indicate that there are ut least
some things that the Valley and
Southwest Virginia farmers could
learn from some OF the farmers In
the eastern part OF the State. Rock
ingham and Augusta Counties are
usually considered by the people in
the Valley ms the best farming coun-
ties in the State. but these people
Will perhaps be surprised to learn
that there lis one small county In
Eastern Virginia whose crop values
were greater In 1910 than the total
crop values of Rockingham and Au-i
gusta combined. This county is Ac-
comac. on the Eastern Shore of yir-
ginia. The 1920 census report shows
that this county's total crop value
for 1919 was $17.700.402. while the
crop values for Rockingham We're
T.sSs.74S. ana the crop values for
Augusta were s9.4t4.s51. This re-
port further shows that Northamp-
ton County. on the Eastern shore.
had greater total crop value than
either Rockingham or Augusta. iss
Great Per Acre Value. ,9
further study of census statis-'
ties Will show that for that Year the
average value OF all produce per
acre In Northampton County was;
s13s.15; In Accomac County, s12s.11.5
while tho average value OF produce
ner acre in Rockingham County was
IN Rcrnoke County. $27.24.
Why this great difference? Are
the farmers on the. Eastern shore
really better farmers than the farm-
nrs in the Valley and Southwest Viz
Ttnia? think an impartial Judge.

would say that they are not better
farmers. Then, what. Is tho dlffer-
'nce? The answer is that the farm
'rs in Accomae and Northampton arc
h"tter sellers OF what they produce.

Can't the farmers of the Valley and

much OF their soil and their methods,

these Eastern Virginia farmers that
