OF the West Point cadets recently
dropped for failure to pass examina-
tions, says the Atlanta Daily News, a
large portion were from Southern
states. Here is a danger signal for our
educators. Thoroughness in elemental

however, believes that he was careless
in signing papers presented to him by
Kelly.

made the excuse for horrors, the like of

Importance of Apples.


The statement made in the In
dependent that the value Of the
apple crop of this country is greater
than that of it's wheat production
will bring surprise to many.
Thus it is stated that the total
yield of apples in 1900 was 215, :
600, 900 barrels. Surprising that
an average price of 50 a barrel
was Obtained, the aggregate value
Of the crop was $3.50 900, 900. The
average value of wheat is but a
little over $500, 900, 900 annually.
By this estimate the apple crop is
worth about 30 per cent more than
our wheat. The export Of apples
exceed 100000 barrels year
and it is increasing. The price
abroad ranges from 80 to 81 a barrel
the most of the fruit bringing
nearer the larger price. Its pro-
duction ranges over a wide extent
of country, though few sections o.
it make the apple their chief re
lance for support.
