Fins Grass Section.
Southside Virginia is often alluded
to as the "short grass section'' of the
State, when it has a record for grow
ln« grass and grain that cannot be
••ceiled by any other section in Vir
ginia. The regret is that this record
i* only being written in spots, but
now that the creamery is in successful
operation in F'annvillc, the growing of
more grain and grass w ill become gen
eral in Prince Fid ward and adjoining
counties.
The history of Farmer T. u. Sandy
is known oyer all Virginia, and noth
ing need be added to it. hut there are
others of whom the public knows but
little.
Mr. H. A. Stokes, whose farm is
about five miles southeast of. F’urm
ville, left the Confederate service hi
the surrender with a faded jacket as
about ail of his possessions, lie re
turned to his father’s farm and be
came at once the “man behind the
pk>w ." From that time he has stuck
to the job and is to-day one of the
leading farmers of Southside Virginia
as well a* one of its* leading citizens
in financial and farming circles, lie is
president <>r ihe Planters He :k here,
which under his wise direction lias
grown to be Intrinsically solid and
strong in public confidence. Here is
a page from id* history as a farmer
written during one season,
Hia lands and persona) property were
assessed at about 18,000. and he sold
from the farm in that one season
more than $8,000 worth of crop, if this
Is not unique in agricultural lore, (he
fact has yet to be made known. Mr.
Stokes is a large grower of tobacco,
but in addition to this recognized
money crow of this section, lie always
has corn, wheat, hay. meat and other
things to sell. He is one of the farm
er* who intends continuing to raise
tobacco, because he makes it pay. and
pay well.
To Market 60,000 Pounds.
Mr. \V. FI. Hubbard, whose farm is
In the Rice section, is another earnest
and successful worker on a Southside
Virginia farm. He, will this season
have for market SO,000 pounds of to
bacco, has already sold 1.100 tnishki?
of wheat at tl a bushel, and will con-’
tinue to sell com and hay during the
winter and spring: and in ihe. mean
time he has raised fourteen children,

Tobacco Market.
Earmville lias long been recognized
as leading tobacco market of South
west Virginia and still enjoys that
honor, but just now will hate to
compete with adjoining towns where
warehouses hate been opened. C'um
barland for years has operated most
auecessfully a warehouse whose pres
ence haa given new life-thrill to that
one-time dead but now ai tive business
center. Kh-e is now building its
warehouse and enters the held to
contest for its lull share of sales.
These things do not disturb Karmv!lle.
for it has long since learned the truth
of the axiom that "Competition is
the life of trade." At one time the
people were satisfied wit.fi one bank
and now they have three with re
sources approximating a million dol
lars.

By C. r. Miller.
The (treat advantage of the poultry
i business is that it is open to all. .\<>
matter whether one has but a ha< k
, yard of a city lot, a couple of acres
| in it, provided it is run in an up to
j date Vay.
It needs no large amounts invested
, in fancy houses, patent roosts, patent
nests and the like all these are made
; to sell. Always keep m mind that
: there are possibilities in the business
and there is plenty of room at the
top of the ladder.
j The vastiless of the poultry busi
ness in tho i'niteil States for the year
! 905*. is almost beyond comprehen
i sion. The vaule of poultry and eggs
consumed by the people of the United
: States amounted to tho almost In
1 credible sum of nearlyy $#10,000,000.
■ Some will say that poultry keeping
! is only childs play, tit for the
i "Women Folks" to fuss with, "but
; not a lit occupation for a man."
, To make a start you do not need
i thousands for capital, nor do you
need a factory tilled with expensive
machinery, which in the end pais
but a small percentage yearly on the
Invested capital. A setting of ,-ggs
j will cost you but a small sum; » set
j ting hen riot over seventy-five cents
| and your grocer will probably not
charge you ain thing for the box.
.rust three weeks and the downy lit
tle chaps win be out scratching for
their tirst food or a stray worm.
The old hen and chicks will thrive
well on what table scraps which are
left and in the fall you will have a
few- cockerels to soH or to use as
breeders; provided, you have made
the right start and purchased thor
oughbred stock instead of scrubs and
you care to advertise in some good
advertising medium like the "Vir
ginian" which goes out to thousands,
of readers on Yarrns and in rural sec
tions throughout the state. ,
Vilalltv is Improving.
For iniinv years people held on to
that worm eaten story that if he was
slmplv raising poultry for market, 1
any old thing would do so long as
it wore feathers, but as the years
glided by there were fewer who stuck
to that Idea, now the time is not far
distant when a majority of the far
mers will dispell this idea and then
We will have what we have been
clamoring for the last ten years
"Better poultry and more of it."
The only extra expense in getting
a start wits pure bred birds as com
pared with thw-V^j/rub" stock is in
the first cost, anua few dollars spent!
wisely dn good stock at the outset
will come back to you over and over
In the long run. For Instance, we
will take it for granted that you
have purchased a setting of eggs for
thirty cents iHcrnbs of course) which
when hatched will be all colors,
shapes and sizes and will look like
the proverbial "thirty cents." Con- j
sidering the money only, the "scrubs" 1
look like a bargain when you pay
from 11.50 to $2.00 for a setting of
pure breds. The first cost of secur
ing the pure breds has been from
$1.20 to $1.70 more than was paid
for the •‘scrubs." But suppose we
raise from the "scrubs" and a like
number from the purebreils and you
will gladly see tho three to five cents i
per pound that the market man will
gladly give you for the pure breds;
in excess of the price he will ofTer
you for the "scrubs" and this extra
will more than repay the extra mon- ;
ey expended for the start.
‘•Scrubs’’ Not Advisable. i
Common or "scrub" chickens as,
every one knows, are a mixed lot of
all colors and sixes. Some will lay
and some will not, and those that
do can only be depended on In the
Spring and Summer months, hut tbalr
I
moat serious drawback is their size.
The average hen of the "scrub"
stock weighs from three to five
pounds, and the reader can easily
see that they are wholly incapable
of producing chicks that will weigh
from one to two pounds at from six
to eight weeks of age. and this they
must do in order to make broiler
raising profitable,
Orta of the pure breeds best adapt
ed to broiler raising is the Orping
ton. Although practically a new
breed in this country they are ad
mirably fitted to fin all requirements
of the broiler trade. Adult males
at erage 10 pounds, hens 8 pounds,
cockerels it pounds and pullets 7 1-2
pounds. With this large breed for a
foundation stock it is an easy matter
to produce broilers of the required
weight in the short time required.
Where a farmer has means at his
command it is an easy matter to
build a suitable poultry house, but
fortunately for those who must start
with limited means, "Biddy-' is not
particular as to outward appearances,
and provided certain requirements of
nature are compiled with, will reward
her owners just as generously in
more humble c ; mere.
The most e"s. ntial of these re
quirements are the three most Im
portant factors in the poultry busi
ness: Light, warmth and ventilation.
Damp roosting quarters are one of
the worst conditions for poultry. They
produce foul and disagreeable odors
and promote diseases, which if not
fatal to the flock, will impair their
vitality.
For want of better quarters. a
building construe ted after the fash
ion of a log house will do, and if
chinked with plaster and the floor
covered to a depth of from six to ten
inches with straw, the hfnise will he
so snug and warm that drinking
water will hardly freeze In the cold
est weather. And if other conditions
are right the farmer should have a
generous supply of eggs all winter.
The old style way of allowing fqwls
to roost in trees and on fences will
greatly interfere with the egg bask
et. Nothing couhi be done that
would contract colds, roup and etc.,
more rapidly than this exposure and
the farmer who allows his fowls to
do so will not I..- put to much trou
ble of gathering his eggs during the
winter months.
Need Blent> of Koom.
Another main item to be consider
ed is that large numbers of fowls
should not be kept in one small house
or pen. The c olony house plan has
proven to be the best and all up to
date farmers are adopting it. The
system consists in having numerous
inexpensive house* scattered over the
farm a few rods apart, and building
them on skids so that they can lie
easily moved. Houses of this stvle
should be about 10x12 feet In size
and about seven feet high In front
with the shed sloping to the rear.
They should be built on skids or
runners which can he moved with
the aid of a horse to fresh ground
occasionally. Again fowls can be
raised in the orchard alone and will
increase the yield of fruit by ferti
lizing the soil ami destroying injuri
ous bugs and worms which Infest It
and for this reason the egg farmer
wilt always find it advisable to com
bine fruit growing in a small way
with the poultry business.
Next week l will endeavor to ex
plain how a poultry plant can be
built tip from s small beginning as
well as timely topics for the month.

1 the agricultural interests of the State ;
| have been furthered in recent years'
| by the adoption of better and more l
scientific methods.
I Acting In harmony with the Vlr- :
; ginia state experiment station and the j
1'nited States department of agricul
ture. the State department. under
Commissioner Koiner. has' been able
to show the most surprising results—
so surprising as to be utterly unbe
lievable but for the Indisputable fig
ures contained In the records of the
office.
With an annual appropriation of
only 46,000 Mr. Koiner began hi*
campaign for agricultural betterment.
Since that time by actual result* at
tained he has been awarded larger
appropriations, until the annual In
come of the department Is now $40.
000, hut In this time the agricultural
Income of the State has been Inertas
ed as many millions.
The Institutes were begun about
lalght year* ago. The ilr*r year
scarcely a dozen were held. This
year the total number will reach the
two-hundred mark, and many more
lecturers and demonstrators will tie
with the commissioner In his tour of
the State.
The corn crop In Virginian has been ,
Increased in value from $1* 250,000,
in 1900, to over $35,000,000. The
famous "King Corn" movement was !
begun In 1908. by the department.
Its annual hand-book containing on j
Its cover the phrase "Corn Is King."
This was immediately taken up, and
became the slogan of the farmers.
Demonstration stations were started,
boys clubs organized, and aided by
the Institutes working with the Vir
ginia state experiment station and the
federal department of agriculture,
the corn crop has been more than j
doubled.
Increased Values.
In the last decade the State depart
ment has sent out approximately 150,
<>00 letters, beside* Its regular pub
lications. which are now mailed to
thousands of State farmers.
The value of this campaign Is
shown by the fact that trucking has
increased 500 per cent.; fruit growing,
250 per cent.; the hay crop. 100 per j
cent.; live stock. 50 per cent., while i
the corn crop has Increased as indl- !
cated above.
Statistics recently compiled by the
commissioner show that one county ,
alone Is producing crops of the fol
lowing values: Wheat, $1,000,000;
com. $1,000,000; hay, $>00,000; other'
grains than wheat and corn^jnoe.. I
000: fruit. J 800.00't In this same
county (ht* dairy products art an
nually worth $250,000, the live Marti
is worth $2,000,000, and the poultry
*600,000
The Kansas department of agricul
ture receives an annual appropriation
of some $200,000 against Virginia'*
$40,000, and yet experts declare that
Virginia Is the only State in the I n ion
that furnishes the farmer with literar
ture and hand boohs that can he
compared tilth those sent out by the
Kansas department.
Virginia reports are furnished an
nually: Kansas sends out Its hand
books quarterly, but except for ihe
greater number, it Is declared that ;he
reports furnished In this Western
t’ommonwealth are no better than
those mailed by Commissioner
Kblner, both being about equal In
value and comprehensiveness- -and
the best to lie found in the L'nittd
States.
