Forty-two hands are employed, the pay

Prof. l.. C. Corbett. OF the State
Experiment Station. who is here in
speeding orchards and incidentally get
ting exhibits of fruit for the Paris
exhibition, when asked how West Vir-
GINA methods OF fruit raising COM
pared with those of other States, said:
Fruit growing in West Virginia is
quite different from that of any other
State in eastern United States with
which am familiar. In New York and
other eastern States orcharding is sell
dom made the one line OF, work. The
orchard usually consists of from s, r..
Is, or even 80 acres of the farm. the
remainder being devoted to general
agriculture. Here where orcharding
has gained a foothold it is the main
reliance of the persons engaged in it
and as result cultivation is better and
more businesslike methods are in
vogue. Our people in the eastern part
of this State can learn a profitable les
son in harvesting and storing from the
northern Panhandle, while the people
of that region would profit by the sys-
tematic spraying and cultivation prac-
ticed here. Speaking Of West Virginia S
prospects in competition with other
fruit-grOwing States, Prof. Corbett said
West Virginia is destined to be leader
among the States growing export
fruits. First, because we are so stu
ated that coast cities can be reached
quickly and cheaply; secondly, we have
ideal conditions for the production of
fruits of high color and good texture;
and third, we have more varieties for
export than any other State. We have
the Green, or New Town Pippin,
which is accredited the highest place
among export sorts. We also have the
Ben Davis, another fine appearing and
good shipping variety, as well as the
York Imperial with the firmness and
texture of the Pippin, but under a red
skin. In the northern Panhandle
we have besides those already men
toned, the Willow, equal to the Ben
Davis in keeping qualities, and the
Rome Beauty, a, good shipper and long
keeper l doubt if for sorts with so
much to recommend them for exhibit
purpose can be found in any other
apple producing States These sorts
are, all of them, sure heavy troopers
and attractive in looks. To give West
Virginia the place it should hold in
the worlds apple production it only re-
mains for our people to plant and care
for the trees. Nature has provided all
else"

Your correspondent is able to say on
authority that the Schurman peace
commission offered every possible short
of absolute government to Aguin-
aldo and his followers. Aguinaldo was
promised, as the price for the restora-
ton of peace in the Tagalos tribe. a
bonus of more than $4,000 year while
the Tagalos remained peaceful. He was
told that he could choose men from MS
tribe for the minor municipal offices.
The commission went so far as TO
promise Aguinaldo the moral support
of the United States government. II
such were needed, to make his leader
ship of the Tagalos thoroughly secure
with all these inducements, temp5-
Ing as they must have been, Aguinaldo,
as the recognized head of the insurgent
movement, declined to yield. He in
sisted upon immediate self-goVernment,
and as his insistence was so firm as to
make an agreement impossible the
American commissioners ceased nego-
tiations
president Schurman was frank in
telling your correspondent a day or
two ago that he favored giving to the
various tribes the largest possible
measure of home rule at the earliest
moment. He thought the several tribes
could administer their local affairs, elect
their municipal officers, establish courts
and penal institutions. Judiciary,
ETC., but he did not believe it possible
to allow the natives to participate in
the general government
"'How could they govern the islands
in view of the heterogenity and null
tiplicity of the tribes?' he asked.
