THE SAN JOSE SCALE.

The StauntDn News, in it's editorial of
the Sth inst, has anticipated us on II sub
iect Of which for several days we .have
been intending to say something, and we
concur in it expressions most heartily.
This is the subject of he San Jose scale.
Slowly and insiuuously, but steadily, this
dreaded pest of the fruit grower is spread
ing its blight over our State and unless
some concerted plan is adopted TO check
it, it will before long reach n stage that
will defy determination. Politics-pa-
tional, State ara local-are all Important
in their way, but ten years from now it
will be far more important for Virginia to
have taken some decisive action against
the encroachment Of the fruit scale that
to have elected certain governor or to
have won II certain political campaign.
AS the News remarks, political ques-
tions so overshadow material questions
chat few newspapers 90 into the merits
of the latter with aoy degree of thorough
ness" That is just the trouble in the
present instance. Column after column
of editorial matter is printed concerning
the designs of Congress or of legislature,
while right at hand is most threatening
danger to our fruit orchards and even 10
our forests, which scarcely receives a
passing notice. IL experience is worth
anything that of the nei ghboring State of
should teach ns something. The Ques-
tion is a serious ono and worthy of the
closest attention. The papers of the State
and more particularly tn Csc CT fruit sec
lions should unite in educating public
sentiment so that some practical work of
eXtermination of this parasite should be
begun, and that needed legislation may
he had.
We know CT no section of tie State
where this is of more vital impol lance
than here in Roanoke county. The last
ten yeais have been marked by steady
increase in fruit growing of all kinds.
Scores of fine orchards have been set out
which have Just begun giving their own
ers handsome returns for their patient
waiting, and already in several parts of
the county the scale has made it's appear
ance, and unless prompt and energetic
efforts ere made 10 stamp it out, our far
N ers may. expect in a little while to lose
years of toll and waiting through its raw
ages. Many of or farmers are ignorant
OF the character of this pest so 6tndly in
Is effects, and even when lhsy aIc aware
OF it's danger they are ignorant Of The
means TO be employed in surpressing it.
For this reason it behooves the papers of
the State to sound II waning while there
is yet time, even if by so doing something
else of seemingly more Importance should
have to be neglected.

a glance how formidable is the opposition
he must encounter.
In the results of this trial ar involved
the fate of Dreyfus and Esterhazy, the
honor CT the army and perhaps the very
stability of the French government itself.
There are mcbs and mobs, but In times
OF great excitement there is none that can
compare with French mob gone crazy,
and in this instance its hatred is acoentu-
ated by the strong anti. semitism that has
spread like wild. fire. throughout all
France
In the heroic stand that NJ. lola has
taken for what he believes TO be the right
against wrong, the strong against the
weak, he has done much to elevate him
self IN the eyes of all the world. Hereto
fore his name has been IL synonym for all
that is basest, most corrupt aud nest
Impure n literature. Never was there a
diviner genius more shamefully prosti-
tuted. Never was there SO brilliant an
intellect submerged in the cesspools OF
lewd1ess and impurity. But in this fight
which he has undertaken his courage and
boldness have brought out new trait in
his character which will go far to hide
the many hideous defects Of the moral
side of his nature.
