Possibilities From Irrigation
Most cheap land today is await
ing irrigation The fact that these
sandy and barren lands have had
so little rain during the centuries
means that the vitamins and miner
ais are yet in the soils. They have
not been drained into the oceans by
the rains and brooks and rivers
Hence. when such virgin lands
are irrigated they produce the most
wonderful products. This is why the
marvellous lettuce and other vege-
tables come from the former Mo-
have Desert of South Central Cali
fornia. This was considered only
barren sand before it was irrigated.
Many plans for further local irri-
cation are being made to adopt
power from uranium, oil, or gas to
be found on the property. l per-
sonally am most interested in water
wells powered by gravity or per-
haps by sun rays.
For Utah. Colorado, New Mexico,
and Arizona a most spectacular
project is the Powers Plan of
bringing water from the Great Bear
and Great Slave lakes of Northern
Canada. southwark to irrigate the
above states. These millions Of gal
Ions per second are now flowing
north and are wasted in the Artic
Ocean. Mr. John w. Powers, 4Ol
Yorkshire Drive. Homewood, Ala
bama, has a plan to turn this water
southwark into the United States.
If properly accomplished at a rea-
sonable cost, it could make these
states blossom like a rose. But
whatever may be accomplished by
more irrigation and whatever hap
pens to the stock market, so long
as the marriage rate continues up
ward, productive land should con-
stantly increase in value.

GOVERNOR ]. Lindsay A mon d. Jr.,
speaking to the Ionpwood College grad
yates Sunday predicted:
If Virginia aboishes its public schools the
federal government will come in to educate our
children.
THAT will start the process and before long
the central government will be educating all of
the children in the United States
The consequences: You have to look only to
what happened in Hitlers Germany. Mussolonis
Italy and what is happening III Soviet Russia to
see the final result:
Recent years have been tone of the most diff
ficult periods in history for public education in
Virginia.
This has been brought about. he charged, ''by
the unconstitutional decisions OF nine Charlie Me
Carthys appointed to chant the ventiiloquls.ls Of
organization which does not even have at
heart the best interests of the people it repre-
sents.
"Our freedom. our hopes. or esely existence
depend upon education.
The dire consequences Of Nirginia's posi-
ton are adequately outlined by the Cover
nor. He did not stress the paramount cues
ton: Do we submit to the unconstitutional
decision of the [. s. Supreme Court. and
have this Court continue its present trend
of social engineering. or do We stand firm
in our convictions, support the Constitution
Of the United States, retain the sovereign
rights of Virginia and all other states by
our resistance to the unconstitutional de-
cison.''
Education Of Virginia y citizens is a SOY
ereign right not delegated to the central
government under the Constitution. In TAX
ing the steps open to lis in regard to educa-
ton of our citizens within our State laws,
we may still hope that the people Of the ma
ton will realize the Importance Of this re-
sstance and dire consequences Of continu-
Gus submission to t h e unconstitutional
changes in our Republican form Of GOVERN
ment
If the federal government takes over the
educational processes Of the State we may
know then that dictatorship has been estab-
lished To submit to the unconstitutional
decision of the Supreme Court is to ac-
knowledge judicial tyrranv now We don't
believe the people Of the United States will
submit to complete loss Of freedom.
The value and Importance Of public edu-
cation never has been questioned. Freedom
under the Constitution is even more preci-
Gus.
Public education has been established

over a long period of years in Virginia. 1t
will take some time and experience to adj
Just to private education, but there is no
reason Why this system can not be made
equally efficient or more efficient than
public education.
A way must be found to maintain ade-
quate education of all our children. The
road has no sign posts and may be beset
with dangers and some disappointments.
Prince Edward County citizens took a
definite stand in 1855 and 1856, and we
note no change in their attitude An affir-
nation signed by 1880 adult citizens in
1896 stated.
we . hereby affirm our conviction that
the separation of the races in the public schools
OF this County is absolutely necessary and do
affirm that prefer to abandon public schools
and educate children in some other way if
that lie necessary to preserve separation Of the
races in the schools Of this county.

SONS. more attention is being given
to the most healthfnl states the
Southeast including Florida. the
Southwest including New Mexico.
Colorado, and Arizona. together
with parts OF the P c i fl C Coast.
Such states offer the climate for
which older people are hungering
A dry climate, with normal Varia-
tons Of temperatures, is now recog-
nized as giving the most relief to
those suffering from bursitis. arth-
rltis. and various forms Of rheuma-
tism. Therefore. a first requirement
is that the land be in a state which
can guarantee a long and health
full life. Personally, I like New
Mexico or Arizona as health re-
sorts. but all states are different
and each has some advantages
over the others. What climate is
best for me, may be poison to you
Freedom From Labor Troubles

New York exchanges, the ''land
company stocks are freest from
labor troubles Such companies EN-

change. which is said to have only

roads like the Canadian Pacific. the
Union Pacific. and the Northern Pa
cific, which have great land hold
lngs, are practically free from
strikes. Even during strike on
one OF the railroads its land hold
ings are increasing in value.
Although much western land is
now good only for grazing. yet the
income from such land should ex-
pand with the national increase in
babies. This grazing should pay
taxes and other expenses. But the
great gamble about any acreage is
that at any time minerals such as
uranium may be found, or fuels
such as oils or gases. or other
products. This especi-
ally applies to timber land, which
is constantly becoming more valu-
able. Land companies which have

best hedge against initiation should
be good LAND stocks. that is
stocks of companies with large
land holdings The Federal Govern
ment can print all the Government
Bonds and all the money it wishes
Any corporation can print more
stock certificates when it SO desires
But and l say this reverentlyl
only God can meke more land
This may be increased a total of
perhaps 1000 per cent by realtors
who do SO by pumping up sand
from the adjoining water but this is
not real land.)
But. why do I advise buying
stock of a land company instead of
buying acreage in fee? The answer
is very simple. If you yourself buy
the acreage, you must pay the
taxes and watch the property per-
sonally. If. however, you buy the
stock of a good company. the taxes
are paid by the company and you
have no details to watch Further
more. such listed land stock is easy
to sell: while considerable red tape
and looking up Of titles are necess-
airy if the property is III your own
name. Hence. l prefer certain land
stocks to acreage
Relation to Population
Readers hear much about the
business boom which is supposed to
come in the 1905 due to the in
creased manageable population.
Although the birth rate is falling
slightly lit is now PAS per thou
sand. and the marriage rate
dropped last year to 83 per thou
sand. and deaths in 1858 were only
1874 900. yet those who are ap-
preaching marriageable age are
constantly increasing due to the
baby boom of 20 years ago The in
weston is most interested in those
who are reaching marriage age.
The experts expect five million
babies in 1860 and six million in
1865. The great majority of stocks
are not directly affected by marri-
ages: but the demand for houses
and furnishings definitely increases
as the marriage rate rises.
