AOCOMAO COURT HOUSE, VA.
Saturday, March 17, 1906.
l'.ntered at the Postofllce at Accomrtc C. H.
Yu., ni second-class matter.
The position of Commissioner
Koiner, of the State Agricultural de?
partment, is very far from being- only
ornamental, as many people of the
State believe. That it is not a sine?
cure but an oflice calling for active
work and the strictest vigilance is
shown by a special to the -News-Lead?
er, which bays: 'Tie is making a
painstaking and systematic study ot
the food conditions of the State, and
bas for some time been thoroughly in?
specting candy, dairy products. Hour,
corn meal, meats of all kinds, salt,
vinegar, cider and water?ia fact,
every article of diet used by the aver?
age Virgiuia family.'' If he had no
other duty to perform, and he has
many more, no one can question tue
importance of having some one to
look after and prevent the sale ot
poisonous and adulterated foods iuthe
Mate, and it is gratifying to believe,
that he is discharging that duty in a
way creditable to himself and in the
best interest of the people of the
State.
