Washington as , a farmer. He
pointed out that the great states-
r not only had a genuine love
for the land ind for livestock, bat
that he also was far ahead of his
time in agricultural management.
Virginia was a one crop stale at
that time, Mr. Warren stoted, but
Washington was net content with
growing tobacco W the 70,000 acres
of his 14 farms, no- introduced crop
rotation as well as many other pro-
gressive ideas.

Judge Fred T. Arnold spoke brief
ly of Washington as a statesman, do
claring that his greatest ability and
greatest service were displayed in

understanding and tact achieved hais-
many among the colonials.
