The Great American Hog.

The tables of exports published by
the treasury department indicate q
marked increase in the exports Of hog
products for last month. The exports Of
bacon amounted to over 81, 900, 900
pounds. of hams to nearly 90, 900, 900
pounds and of pork to over 10, 900, 900
pounds. The export of lard alone show
ed a slight decrease in comparison with
the same period Of last year. This ex-
hibit is the more gratifying from the
fact that the agitation Of the agrarian
element in Europe. particularly in
France and Germany, is mainly direct.
ed against the American hog. While
this partisan agitation is not in the in
terest either Of the German or French
people. as it deprives them of cheap hog
products. it has had the support Of the
governments. That in spite Of it the
export tables continue to show steady
growth must be put down to the credit
of the invincible American hog. Den

GETTING IN SHAPE.

After an examination of the state
banks of North Dakota by the state ex-
aminer it is said that more actual cash
is how to be found in these institu-
tons than V G before. \ great deal
OF money has gone on deposit this fall
in the various banks of the state, most
~ by farmers. Some of the banks in
the smaller towns are carrying very
large deposits in comparison to their
capital stock and to the population of
the locality and many of the lis state
banks are making very large livi-
dends. BY January 1 the number of
state banks will be 125. This con-
dition shows that the farmers who
have the advantage of farming on
North i)akota cheap lands. are getting
on their feet and while grain crops
were light and the price low this year
the cheap land more than makes up for
these temporary drawbacks.

Rockville Wants a Cannery.

The Rothwell.Lovett Cannery is
gaining a widespread reputation.
Many surrounding towns envy Mar
tinsburg in having such an industry
located within its borders, and are
trying to secure a similar plant.
Rockville, Md. now wants one, and
in response to an invitation from the
Business Mems Association Of that
place, Mr.. Lovett stopped over.there
on his way home from Baltimore, for
the purpose of looking intol the mat
ter of locating cannery there.
If they decide to build one Messrs.
Rothwell and Loyett will not own
the plant, but will only put in bid
for erecting and furnishing it.

Arrangements are being made to
have a game of baseball between the
University of West Virginia and the
University of Virginia played at Mar
tinsburg on the Goth of April. If the
game is pulled at Martinsburg 1t is
expected that large crowd would GO
from this city and county to witness
it. Dave Willis. the most popular ball
player that has ever played in this
city, is on the Virginia team, and he
alone would be a great drawing card
to attract a good attendance from
here. There are several "rooters'who
say they would walk twenty miles to
see "their only Dave" play again.

Peach Crop Ruined.

A number of farmers, who had con-
gregated in the Sheriff's Office Saturday
morning discussing the outlook for the
season. were of the unanimous opinion
that the peach crop was entirely de-
stroyed. All of them said that upon
examination they had found the buds
frozen to the heart. The destruction
was done about the thirteenth of Feb
ruary, during the big blizzard.
Although the buds will bloom, that is
about all they will do, as after they
have doomed they will drop to the
ground and there will be no peaches
IA Berkeley county, at least that is
the opinion of the farmers
Although the late cherries withstood
the attack of Jack Frost. the indica.
tons are that there will be very few
early cherries.
The farmers were of the opinion that
the apple crop was not damaged at
all.
