CREAM OF HIGH STARS
LEFT IN COMPETITION
(Bv Associated Pressl

CHICAGO, May 27.-The cream of
1000 high school and academy ath-
letes from all sections of the country
was left today to compete in the Uni
versity of Chicago's interschclastic
track and field meet. Judging from
showings in Yesterdays eliminating
tests, predictions were made that sew
eral records which have stood for
years would not survive today's finals.
The meet has attracted the greatest
list Of prep" stars ever participating
in interscholastic trials.
Individual stars stood out yesterday
true to prediction but most prominent
among them was the much touted Bud
Houser, lone representative of OXnard.
Calf, high school, who already is re
garded as pOssessor OF new records in
the weight throwing events. Houser's
qualified in the shOtput, javeline and
discus throws. In qualifying in the
shOtput, he hurled the ball "A feet
standing fiatfooted.
Jimmy Draper, Georgetown, Texas.
who hOboed more than 1000 miles To
compete in the meet, qualified in both
events in which he Is entered, the Cen
fury dash and the broad jump. Keeble
of Austin, Texas, high school, d flyer
in the 120 hurdlers is counted on to
bring points out Of this event.
Huntington Beach, Calf, is looked
| upon as a possible winner in the high
school section of the meet but Cedar
Rapids, Ia, and Manual Training high
at Kansas City, Mo, last years win
ners, may upset the dope, with Houser
and Draper cutting in on points.
Last year 2215 points won for the
Kansas City Athletes. If it will do /.
| again this year, Huntington Beach has
a good chance but if Houser lives up
to expectations and takes first in the
weight events, Oxnard, Calf, will be
well to the front even with one man
as the sole representative.
The meet is divided into two sec
| lions, one for academies and the other
| for high schools.

DON'T CARE TO SWIM,
so GAMES POSTPONED

Rain put stop to all baseball ac-
tioh between Earlham and Butler at
Indianapolis, Friday. 1t would have
been necessary to have launched a
good sized row boat with life savers
attached to negotiate the distance
from the home plate to first base, &C
cording to reports of the Maroon and
white diamond players.
There is no other opportunity for
staging the contest this season be-
case of he examinations and the Jubi-
lee preparations. Although only a few
games were played by the Quakers
this season, one of the best aggrega-
lions that has played for the college
in several years was gotten together
by Coach Move.

GINA had . associations; in 1918, 4;
in 1919, ): in 1920, 8, and in 1921, 10.
There are, at present, over 5000 cows
on test in these associations in Eir-
ginia. This means that the people
who wish to buy dairy animals in
Virginia can be assured of getting an
imals from tested dams.
The poultry industry in Virginia is
also developing rapidly. The cen
sus figures for 1910 showed that
Virginia had total poultry popu-
lation of 1902. while figures for
1920 showed that the number of poul-
try has increased more than 100000
and the present poultry population
is -,860,4SS. Virginia has more poul-
Try than any other State in the South
Atlantic Division. The quality of The
poultry is also being rapidly improved
by boys and girls club work. culinG
demonstrations, and poultry shows.
Both crop and livestock figures
show that Virginia has taken the lead
in the production of rany ~arm pro
ducts in the South Atlantic Division,
and it might also be said to her credit
that her farmers are not neglccting
the marketing end of the game. The
most successful truck marketing as
ISOLATION in the United States Of
long standing is located on the East
ern Shore OF Virginia. In one yea!
this association marketed over $l9.-
100000 worth of products for the
farmers in two counties. 1t IS also
Of interest to note, IL this connection,
that the crop values per acre in these
two countries are among the highest
in the United States.
The peanut growers Of Eastern Viz
ginia have recently united with the
growers Of North Carolina end form

there has been an increase IN Virginia
of 4 bushels of corn per acre, ) BUSH
els of oats per acre, 30.7 bushels Of
Irish potatoes per acre, POS bushels
Of sweet potatoes per acre, and one
third of a ton of hay per acre. These
are splendid increases when it is con-
sidered that they are not just the in
creases for one year, which might be
due to seasonal conditions, but are
average increases over period OF
years.
The latest census figures show that
in 1920 Virginia was the largest pro-
Queer of early Irish potatoes, third
largest producer Of tobacco and
fourth largest producer of peanuts
and apples among the States OF the
Union. While there are % States that
have more acres under cultivation
than the Old Dominion, only 20 are
ahead of her in total value OF all
crops.
Virginia farmers have also shown
more progress in live stock develop
ment during the past ten years. The
last census shows that Virginia has
more purebred horses, sheep, beef and
dairy cattle than any other State in
the South Atlantic division. There
were reported total of 1871 pure
bred beef cattle, 1856 purebred dairy
cattle, 20,S67 purebred hogs, 3,7S3
purebred sheep. and 1909 purebred
horses on Virginia farms. However,
the number of purebreds in the above
classes of livestock is comparatively
small. and a great effort is Being made
to replace scrub Sires with purebreds.
In the pure bred sire campaign which
has been going on all over the United
States for the past two years Virginia
has more members pledged to the use
Of purehred sires than anv ether Sta,e
in the Union.
To these interested in dairvin@ iii"
latest cersus figures in regard 10 Nir-
ginia should also nrove gratifying.
These figures show that in 1919 Viz
ginia produced 110.942.!l3 gallons OF
milk. During the same year Nir-
ginia dairymen sold S.007 ,29S pounds
of butter, 556,5S3 gallons Of cream.
and 1896 pounds Of butterfat. In
comparing these figures with the pro-
duction for Delaware. Maryland, West
Virginia, North Carolina. South Car
olina, Georgia and Florida. it is graf
flying to note that Virginia has a
greater production of milk than any
Of the States mentioned. 1t is also m
treestin@ 10 tote from recent rernrt
Of the dairy division of the United
States Department of Agriculture
that Virginia had more active COW

In other words, Virginia lands valued
at 40 per cent less per acre produced
crops. worth G2 per cent more than the
average for the United States.
In order to find out just what prog
ress Virginia is making in increased
yields per acre, the director of ex-
tension work in Virginia recently
made a comparison of the average
yields as given by the bureau Of crop
estimates for the period 1910 to 1914
with the average yields for the period
1915 to 1920 for some of our leading
crops. Comparisoni was also made
with the average yields of these same
crops in North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Georgia, Alabama, and Missis-
sippi. The comparison showed that
Virginia has made greater increase
in yields per acre on corn, oats, Irish
potatoes, sweet potatoes and hay than
any of the States mentioned. The
average yield of these crops for the
last five-year period shows that

About 1747 George Washington,
then only Is years old, had completed
a survey of Mount Vernon, the first
of many he made of the beautiful
estate. He also surveyed and mapped
Alexandria in the early years Of his
practice Of the profession. Wash

nearest place of Importance TO Mount
Vernon, was practically his home

In these days of hard times and
financial depression, when so much is
being written about the farmers con-
dition, it will perhaps be a good thing
for Virginia farmers to turn their at
tention to the bright side and note
some lines along which decided prog
ress is being made in the Old Domin-
ion. For a better day is bound to
come for agriculture, and it is the
duty of Virginia farmers to be in the
best possible shape when this day
comes.
Virginia ranks high as an agricul-
tural State. According to a recent
report of the commissioner of agri-
culture the average value of all pillow
and cultivated lands in the United
States in 1921 was estimated at SS4
per acre and the crops produced on
these lands at S23.70 per acre, while
the average Virginia pillow and cult
waited lands valued at $50 per acre
produced crops worth $3.50 per acre.

Washington as
a Surveyor

Every school boy and girl, OF course,
is carefully taught that George
Washington, before he cultivated rev
dictionary tendencies and undertook
a career as father Of his country, was
a surveyor The fact is prominent
" mentioned in every school text
book Of Importance, and some even
go so far as TO show Wocdcuts OF the
youthful George at work on the JOB.
No historian. however. has thought
to introduce in a school textbook any
estimate of Washington's ability as
a surveyor and mapmaker, and as a
consequence the possibility that be
might in normal times have become
a member Of useful but not spec
taoular profession is rather lost to
view.
It was back in 1747 that Washing
toms parents were confronted by the
necessity of picking out suitable
profession for the young man. He
might have become a m;Gshipman in
the kings navy, but outside the
military establishments there were
not many jobs considered suitable
for gentleman of one OF the first
families Of Virginia. By a process
Of elimination, the career of survey

First Public School

George Washington in his will
endowed a room in the school builds

and Warrington streets, and the
building is now pointed to as the
first public school in Alexandria. To-
day the city has four handsome
school buildings for white children
and one modern building for col.

was recently asked for an approprl-
alton of $4,000 for the erection of
another building TO be located near
