VIRGINIA TURKEY CROP

The Virginia turkey crop this
year is reported to be 5 per cent.
larger than last year, according to
information compiled by the Vir-
ginia Crop reporting service. The
1924 production, however, was very
much smaller than usual owing to
the unfavorable season for growing
turkeys. This year the weather con-
ditions were much better until the
middle of the summer when the dry
weather caused a shortage of for
age, especially green feed and in
sects, which resulted in a decline in
the condition of the birds, and also
some losses. Turkeys, under favor
able conditions, are exceedingly diff
ported that they have practically
gone out of the business as their
losses have been so heavy in prev
ious years. Turkeys are grown in
nearly all sections of the State; but
the principal producing areas are
found in Southwest Virginia and in
some of the mountain counties in
the central and northern parts of
the State.
Turkeys this year were Matched
earlier and have made better growth
than was the case last year. There
fore, the size of the birds for the
early market will probably be some
what larger than last year. Tur-
keys are grown on approximately Is
per cent of all farms in the State,
and in 1920 the total number on
farms as of January 1st was report
ed to be 10000 which were valued
at s667,000. 1t is difficult to give
the exact value of the turkey crop,
but a conservative estimate of the
farm income from turkeys would be
approximately s750,000 year. In
many sections turkeys furnish a con-
siderable portion of the cash income
Virginia ranks sixth among turkey
producing states in the country.
The total production of turkeys
for the United States is estimated to
be per cent less than last year. In
Texas, where a considerable portion
of the turkeys are grown. the crop
is reported to be rs per cent smaller
than in 1924 The severe drought
IN which the turkey producing sec
tions were subjected appears to have
had a great influence in reducing
the number The early turkey crop
will be considerably shorter than
last year as most of the supplies
come from the southern states; but
the late crop will probably be larg-
er owing to the increased production
in the western states which are large
prodcers of turkeys for the late mar
ket.

THE MEMORIAL COINS

While there was not an unlimited
supply of the beautiful memorial
coins which minted to aid in
financing the completion of the
South's great tribute to its soldiers
now being carved on the precipitous
sides of Stone Mountain. vet there
are enough to supply local demands
for these souvenirs.
Through Mr.. NJ. Coffman. cashier
of the Shenandoah National Bank
designated by the governor as chair
man of the local committee in dis
posing of these coins, they are again
offered to local people in a final
campaign to get them in the hands
of those who should appreciate them.
In the South, and especially in the
State which gave Robert e. Lee and
Stonewall Jackson to the Confeder-
acy it is "a sordid idea to ask that
they be bought because of their nus
miatic value, which is bound to in
crease a hundred fold.
There is the sentiment and recol-
lection of the sacrifices of the men
who wore the gray which should ap-
peal to any Southerner whose heart
is still responsive to the heroism of
the DAYS of 81 to '65.
What better heritage for the child
and the generations to come than
one of these memorial half dollars.
What could or should be more cher
ished by the descendants of those
whose blood drenched the fields
from Bethel to Appomattox?
Why not give a Memorial Coin
as Christmas gift. What could be
more appropriate?
The visions of the days when
Americans grappled at Gettysburg,
Antietam and Cold Harbor should be
The most glorious to Virginians. AS
it is truly said in Holy Writ a ma
lion without vision must perish. Wis
nalize the heroism of your forebears
and buy a coin for the boy or girl
They will keep it and appreciate it.
Ask Mr.. Coffman about the memoir
al coins. He will be glad to tell you

see what he could do with the gun.
He showed them. He not only
showed he was a good shot, but he
climbed the mountains and scaled
the hills, and revealed physical en-
duranee that surprised all. In fact,
Harry Byrd made some of the old
timers in Brooks Gap rest for
breath. His endurance just simply
surprised us.
Gov Byrd showed he believed

When noon-hour came around, after
hunting a half day, those chaps who
laughed at the size of his luncheon

them.
The crowd had some mighty good
luck. They bagged wild turkey,
some pheasants, rabbits, squir

NOVEMBER COURT
ENDS SATURDAY
Fall Session of Circuit Court Ends
Grind

The final adjournment of Cir
cult Court of Shenandoah County OF
Saturday closed the books on a
large number of criminal and civil
matters which have been docketed
for years.
/ Nolle prosequis were entered in a
number of cases where there was
neither hope nor expectation OF
bringing into Court those charged
with various crimes, and, in many
instances, circumstances surround
ing these cases because of changes
in the cases at bar, warranted a
final dismissal.
In the last days of Court, Friday
and Saturday, a number of chan
Gerry, common law and criminal mat
ters were disposed of.
Criminal Cases
On the criminal side of the Court
only the cases of E. B. Mays of
Strasburg who was caught with less
than pint of alleged liquor, which
it was claimed had been presented
to him, was given a ninety day Jail
sentence and one dollar fine. Mays
has large family and because of
the fact that the pint was Sin trans
portation" no suspension of sentence
could be allowed. He was bailed to
appear on the second day of the
January term.
Changed Pleas
The case of Cecil Good of Fort
Valley charged with having entered
the dwelling of William Tampkin, a
school teacher, in July and stealing
therefrom a gold coin and pistol,
came to an abrupt end after much
evidence had been introduced. His
attorneys changed the plea of not
guilty to guilty, and his punishment
was fixed at one year in the peni-
tertiary.
An order was entered directing
the Sheriff to sell the Ford automo-
bile which S. B. Mowery, convicted
on violating the prohibition laws
used at the time of his arrest. Now
cry was given a four months SEN

THE SPEED LIMIT

IN T6COHln llioI II 3 mid
raise its speed limit, or speed limits,
the State Highway Commission has
gone rather far in certain of what
might be called the speed brackets.
In principle, the commission is
sound enough: traffic congestion has
reached the point on the highways
where speed is essential to the
clearing away of congestion. But it.
is not altogether certain that the
commission is sound in the practice
it recommends. For one thing, it
proposes that the speed limit along
highways in rural districts be raised
to forty miles an hour. That is pref
ty fast travelling, when it is realized
that even West Virginia, Ohio, Pen
nsylvania and Maryland authorize
only thirty-five miles an hour. Again
as reported, the recommendation of
the commission is that when a We
hicle is being driven at rate of
speed between twenty-five and forty
miles an hour, the burden of proof
on the question of recklessness shall
be upon the driver of the vehicle.
That provision assumes that to
drive at twenty-five miles an hour
along a country road is safe at all
times. But suppose the vehicle is
passing a country chuch just at the
conclusion of services, or country
school just at the moment it lets
out" Surely, even twenty miles an
hour might well be too fast for safe
~ at such a time. Suppose that just
outside a country town celebration,
a parade, an Armistice Day parade,
if we like, is in progress. Does the
Highway Commission mean that We
hicles must be permitted to race
through at a speed of twenty-five
miles an hour? OF course not.
Precisely the same questions arise
as to the proposed rates of speed in
cities and towns Take an illustra-
ton from Richmond: Ordinarily, it
is perfectly safe to go sky-hooting
up Monument Avenue at thirty-five
miles an hour; but it would be vic
iously reckless to drive up Monu-
ment Avenue at twenty-five miles an
hour during the progress of a cir
Gus parade on Monument Avenue.
Unless the recommendation has
not been fully reported, the Highway
Commission has gone wrong on one
vitality important point. 1t has fail
ed to distinguish between speeding
and reckless driving 1t is all right,
normally, to drive thirty-five miles
an hour along a country road
forty miles is probably too fast
and all right to drive at twenty miles
an hour in cities. But all this is
contingent upon conditions at the
moment 1t may well be rockies:
driving to move forward at any
speed. And SO far as is known, thu
Highway Commission has given n,
thought to this side of the question
What is needed is law to saw,
travellers and tourists and home-foll
from the fee-seeking constables an,
magistrates by increasing the spec,
limit to a reasonable and practica
point. But the law should provid
only that such speed shall not b
unlawful in itself-''per sc" as tn
lawyers have it-and should leav
the question of reckless and danger

stances and conditions Richmon

How to Do Better Radio Work.

A poor workman will always blame
his tools, while a good workman will
always give due credit to his tools
for the good work which they make
it possible for him to do.
1t often happens, however, that a
poor workman working with good
tools can turn out much better work
than good workman who has to
use poor tools. The ideal combina-
ton, of course, is a good workman
working with good tools.
The fellow who worked up a repu-
tation solely on the strength that his
sets worked and gave good results
has gone to join the proverbial Dodo.
Good results, of course, are abso-
lutely essential, but more and more
the appearance of set is being
taken into account as vital factor
in it's purchase.
Tools used in the construction of
receivers fall into these large classes:
There are tools which are absolutely
necessary in the construction of radio
receivers; there are tools which help
to lessen the labor or increase the
speed of making a receiver, and there
are tools which are used merely to
better the appearance of the set and
make it more attractive to the eye.
Tools, such as pliers, soldering
irons, hammers, ScrewdrtverS, saws,
ETC., fall into the first class. In the
second class belong tools such as
socket wrenches of the type shown in
Figure 1, which make it possible to
spin a nut on screw in quick lime
special heXagon nut wrenches as
shown in Figure 2 for inaccessible
places; oversize reamers as shown In

4 used for enlarging holes in panels

quired or for enlarging smaller holes

minor parts used in set building in
their proper places and within easy

Special Wrench Recommended.
There are so many knurled nuts
used on sockets, transformers and
other radio parts that it is really
necessary to have a tool such as that
shown in Figure to get good re-
suits in tightening the nuts without
damaging them.
Where large holes are to be cut in
panels either to act as peep holes
or bezels or to provide an opening
through which a vacuum tube can be
inserted into it's socket, it is often a
very difficult task to perform the
operation of cutting the hole with
out chipping the edge of the panel.
The use of tool of the type shown
in Figure puts bead on the edge
of the hole and performs the double
function of taking away any rough
ness and also of putting a factory
ornamental finishing touch to the
job. Many a Clipped panel can
often be saved by such a process.

DO NOT BET ON HORSES,
Is LADY ASTOR'S ADVICE

LONDON, May 90 GP.-Lady
Astor, whose husbands horse, Cross
Bow, is one of the fayOrites for
the classic Derby next week, has
been giving some of her parIia-
mentary constituents i'm Plymouth
the advice not to bet on that or
any other race.
II never bet and / advise you not
TO bet" she is quoted as saying.
eff people knew as much about
horses as i do they would never
risk their money OH them. A horse
may win the Derby today and be
hopeless tomorrow.
Horses are the most unreliable
creatures on earth. The trainers
seldom put money on them. There
is both chance and misChance in
the best race ever run and nobody
can predict the result.
You can wish us luck with Cross
Bow, but don't put your money
on it or any other horse"
