U. S. PAYS THE PRICE FOR
MISUSE OF LAND ....
Rr BRUCE CATION

1t was the mOurnful fate of old BelshaZ-
Ear that his name went down in history as
that of a man who couldn't take a plain
warning when it walked up and hit him IN
the face. -.,..
Probably it was bit diSconcerting to
have a ghostly hand come in and start
scribbling on the wall just when the party
was going good. But Belshazzar mus
have been pretty needless and self-satisfi-
ed for long time before that; after all,
the Persians had got clear to the city gate
before he suspected that anything was
wrong. -. $3.50
1t may seem silly to try to draw par
allel between Belshazzar and Uncle Sam
especially since there hasn't been anything
resembling Babylonian feast in this coun-
try for many weary year. ST..
But we have at least been getting our
writing on the wall this spring, and if we,
don't start reading it and doing something
about it before long, we apt to wind un
right where Belshazzar did.
Our warning is being provided by Ma
ture, in the form of dust storms and floods.
The Southwest is getting its warning in
the shape of pillar of cloud by day; a
gritty wind that is blowing the top off fer
tile farms and giving us perfect working
model of the way deserts are made. ....
In the North and the East the warning is
taking the shape of floods. Peaceful rivers
have gone op,a destructive rampage; from
Maine to Ohio, the swirling waters have
brought death and destruction, until city
after city has been staggered by the blows.
And the point of it all is that these disas-
tiers are to very large extent man-made.
Man didn't cause the winds to blow or r. ;
snow and rain to fall; but he did set the
stage so that these natural forces could in
flict the maximum amount of damage.
For, in this world, we reap just about
what we sow. When We misuse our great
est natural heritage, the land, we must eN-
pect to pay the price some day. We have
just been paying sizahle installment, III
the shape, of dust storms and floods; and
the mstallments will get progressively
larger, year by year, unless we mend oul
ways with great. rapidity. :
Such things as erosion control, retores-
tation, flood control, the scientific use OF
land in place of it's exploitation-these are
not duh academic subjects. fit for other
worldly brain trusters to wrangle over, bu
removed from, the sphere of everyday HE
They have direct, doflar-and-cents effec

Unless we recognize the writing on th'
wall, and act on it, we shall presently fine

(1'he value of livestock in 1895 was ST.

in the county is cleared, over two-thirds
of which is kept in permanent pasture
or meadows The fertile soils are of
granite origin. and are particularly we'll
adapted to pasture grasses. This together
with the high elevation and abundant
rainfall favors the growth of bluegrass,
timothy, red top, orchard grass and
clovers, thus making it comparatively
easy to control erosion and produce prof
liable crops for home consumption and
livestock feeding.
County Of Home Owners
Grayson is essentially a county of
home-owners, who operate their own
farms and do most of their own farm
work. They pursue live at-home policy,

in the state, Mt. Rogers and Whitetop,
with elevations respectively of $40 and

beauty of the county is unsurpassed. A
succession of mountains, broad valleys
and sparkling streams unfold before the

including regular treatments for con-
trolling internal and external parasites,
and the cooperative marketing and grad
ing of lambs and wool.
Grayson Herefords
Last year over 10000 pounds of pool
ed wool was sold for an average of 3
cents above best local prices. and some
5000 lambs were graded and shipped
comparatively, netting the producers an
average of over IL cent more per pound
than offered by local dealers.
Both the rural and urban citizens of
Grayson are proud of the high quality
of livestock produced in the county, and
the excellent reputation Grayson holds
as the outstanding Virginia county in
the production of good livestock.
The Herefords have so caught the
fancy of the Grayson cattlemen, that
there are now more registered Herefords
in Grayson than any other county in the
state. Of the 60 breeders of purebred
cattle in the county more than 40 of
them are Hereford breeders, and two of
the largest Hereford herds in Virginia
are in Grayson County.
The first herd Unregistered Herefords
was established in the county over 80
years ago. The local pioneer Hereford
breeders were Messrs. c. Phipps and
A. A. Bryant, of Bride Creek. At pres
ent there are outstanding herds of Prince
Domino Mischief, Anxiety and Wood
ford breeding which are considered by
the livestock specialists to be the best
in the South.
In addition to the 60 herds of regis
tered cattle there are 20 purebred flocks
of Hampshire, Dorset and Shropshire
sheep, and seven herds of purbred hogs
in the county.

Grayson has established reputation
of producing more high grade stocker,
feeder and breeding cattle than any
other county in the east. In order to
meet increasing competition from the
west, special attention is being given to
the improvement of the breeding herds.
Perhaps the most marked improvement
has come through the use of better sires.
Grayson has long been a leader in the
states better sires contest, at the close
of 1885 over 100 registered bulls, rams
and boars were placed in the county. AS
results of the continued better sires pro-
gram, Grayson has become not only the
outstanding Virginia county in the pro-
duction of good quality feeder cattle, but
has also become we'll known along the
Atlantic seaboard.
Draws Cattle Buyers
In addition to feeder cattle many buy
ers now look to Grayson for good cows
and bulls with which to establish or i'm
prove their herds. During the past year,
buyers from Georgia, North and South
Carolina came to Grayson for breed
ing cattle. Also, load of feeder calves
were sold in Pennsylvania and Mary
land for baby beef club work, in addition
to large number going into other Vir-
GINA counties.
Grayson livestock farmers will con-
tinue to march forward this year, in
their efforts to further improve their
cattle and other livestock, through bet
ter breeding, feeding and management.
They also realize that success of their
livestock industry is dependent on main
tanning fertile soil, and production of
good quality feed crops, and improving

Severe fighting between Marking
