grain. vegetables and fruit. and
five per cent are caSh-grain
farms.
In 1859, there were only Gel
fruit farms. 1853 vegetable farms,
and SIS cotton farms in Virginia,
says Chambliss.
There are at present 1923
farms in the state. This is a de-
crease of 1888 farms since the
previous census figures. Almost
third of this drop III $3.50 is
accounted forby change in the
census definition of a farm. Even
with this change. many of the re-
manning farms are not full-time
operations and would not be
called farms by most people,
says Chambliss.
About 50 per cent of the state S
land area more than Il million
acres was in farms in 1853. The
average farm, by census figures,
contains 1874 acres, with land
and buildings valued at $14O.4I
per acre.
About one-half Of all farms in
Virginia were classified as COM
mercial farms. OF these t49.5ll
commercial farms only 1886
reported income of more than
$1,000 from sales of farm prod
ucts in 1859, and half of these
had sales of less than $4,000.
In 1859. crops were harvested
from % million acres, or 1913
acres per farm. About AIS mil
lion acres of farm land were
used for paSturing livestock.
Chambliss says, "Only 80 per
cent of the commercial farms in
Virginia had sales of 5000 or
more in 1859. This means that
about four-fifths of all farms in
the state had gross income from
farm sales of less than S. 900 per
farm.
From these figures, it would
appear that many Virginia farms
are too small to provide an ade-
quate standard of living and in

Congo Confusion

II seems as if one days news from the Congo

NJ or THE CHIEF explanations given for the
chaos in that unhappy land is that the native pop
ulatlon was not prepared for independence by the
Belgian cOlonlSts. Since Catholic missions have played
a major role in the educational development of the
Congo it would appear that the Church has failed in
its task,
Indeed an ever-recurring statement in articles
which analyze the Congo situation is that on the eve
OF independence only two dozen Congolese possess

The Yardstick
Formal Recognition
OF Federal Unions
by Msgr. George G. Higgins

Postal employee unions have
advocated legislation on this
subject for many years. Mr.
Young reports, however, that
il a strong executive order is
issued by the President and
if there is reason to believe
that such an order will have
enough teeth in it to assure
compliance, employee leaders
will welcome it.
SUCH A DIRECTIVE from
the Executive Department of
the Government is long over
due. Approximately so years
ago the Congress of the
United States enacted a law
(the Lloyd-LaFollette Act per
hitting Government en-
ployees to join unions of their
own choosing. Since that time
a number of unions have been
formed in the government
service. But while many agen-
cies deal with these unions
unofficially, they have never
been formally recognized by
the Executive Department.
The Government has a duty
TO recognize the right of its
own employees to organize,
not only in theory but in prac-
tice. The right to organize is
a natural right of every hui
man being. II does not depend
upon the nature of the work
in which a person is engaged.
