VIRGINIA INVITES
FAR|NERsQF NORTH

WILLIAMSBURG. Va, Jan. b.
Reliable statistics prepared by the
farm bureaus of Minnesota. Wiscon-
sin, Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois,
show that 100000 farmers of those
States have indicated that they were
DESTROYS of changing their location
in the near future. OF that number
$4,000, or nearly 80 per cent, have
expressed a preference for Virginia.
How many will eventually find their
way here depends probably Upon the
activity of the State Agricultural
Department to some extent, but
more upon the real estate men who
are engaged in exploiting the adj
vantages and resources Of Virginia.
Climatic conditions in the north
west are responsible for the desire
of most people to get away. Having
been accustomed to a very cold eli
mate, they do not wish to go to the
other extreme and hence select Vir-
ginia because it is happy medium.
Besides the varied resources of this
State, the cheapness of land and a
reasonably low tax-rate in the aver.
