my sail without the aid of any com
mercial fertilixer whatever, and is thc
reault of proper drainage, thorough
cultivation and an application of nat
ural stable manure
One of the prime objects of bis com
pany, he explained, is to use the larm
as a demonstration, showing the adap
tability of Virginia sootls for all the
general farm chops, fruits and vege
tables, when the proper method of fer
tilisation and cultivation are intelli
gently applied. Adequate returns can
not be obtained on the farm, he said,
unless a complete system of manage
ment and order prevails from the
smallest detail to the most important
work that confronts the farmer. A
thorough system, he said, hail been
worked out in the establishment of the
farm and definite result* were bound
to ensue.

complished by this farm,'- continued
Mr. Geyer, “Is embracd In the object

into this territory looking for a perma

to say to the newcomer, who lias been
accustomed to the hlgly productive
lands and many rural conveniences of
the North and West, that Virginia cau
supply all these things, if he will go
about It In the right way It is u
more convincing argument, however,
for us to say that he not only can do

we have demonstrated it to be a fact
ourselves, and can offer proof of our
statements In our own railway farm
in eastern Virginia.
“Our Western humeseekers are all
made welcome at the farm at all times.
Our native Virginia farmers are given
carte blanche to come and inspect the
property whenever convenient.
"Our main object was first to put
th* farm in a state of high produc
tivity, and for this reason we delayed
■ putting on any large amount of live

ed with which to feed them. Our hopes
are being more than realised, with the
result that we now have thirty head

Corn Crop Promising.
“More than flf(y tons of excellent
timothy and oat hay were put Into
the barn last season, and we ute har

As the farm Is intended for experi

practically no peanuts were raised on
the farm, this crop having been long
ago recognized as the Jeadlng staple
of that section.

BUSINESS houses solicit telephone
trade. They realise its importance.
It is the consumer’s most convenient way
of reaching the shop or the store.
When the larder runs low, when the fuel gives
out, when an article of furniture is needed — the
Bell telephone is a ready help to the housewife. It
reaches the sources of supply.
Telephone trade is not confined to consumers and
retailers in one locality. The Local and Long Dis
tance Bell Telephone reaches all localities and brings
together widely separated merchants and customers.
