FRUIT CROP
VERY HEAVY
In the Eastern Section of the State
Buyers are There from All
Sections.

While the apple crop in this section is
almost total failure, the conditions in
the eastern panhandle are different, as
will be seen from the following from
the NIartinsburg World:
"The apple crop in the country. as
predicted by both the growers and pros
pective buyers, who have made a tour of
the apple section this week, will be a
very large one The fruit will not only
be abundant, but is of fine quality, both
in size and color. The apples in the orch
ards along the Apple Pie Ridge, in most
cases are now as large as they have been
when ready to be picked, which when
ripe will make them extraordinarily
large. Both the growers and the buyers
are pleased with the indications and a
large amount of money will be paid out
bv the comInission merchants from the
large cities.
".The apple trees throughout the coun-
try are very heavily laden and in many
cases the trees have been broken. The
crop in Jefferson county and in Freder-
ick county, Va, is also reported to be
very large This year is apple year in
this section and from all indications the
Weld will be one of the largest in years.
buyers are here from all sections
prospecting for the crops, but the local
growers have established a cold stor-
age warehouse and will not sell until
they get fair price"

GOOD WORK.
ON EXTENSION
OF til Fairmont and clarksburg Traction
company's System in Direction of
Salem.

Work on the FsGirmont & Clarksburg
Traction Company's extension from Ad-
amston to Salem is steadily progressing.
James +. Allen has several gangs of men
along the line grading the roadbed and
laying and ballasting the track. From
Atlanrston to wilsonburg, The greater
portion OF the track will run through
private property, over which rights of
way have been acquired. At Adamston
preparations are being made to build
three bridges across Limestone creek,
so as to avoid using the public highway
at that point, where tits quite narrow.
A short distance west of that point men
are grading and removing a hill on the
highway and art the tipple Mt Wilson
burg the road isbeing made wider and
better grade is being established. At
uhc Francis farm east of Wilsonburg the
grade for the street railway over the old
turnout road is about complete. At
other points the railway has been sub
stantialIy laid and ballasted. The high
way is clear at every point and there are
not the obstacles that have been magni-
fed by some. 1t is the intention of the
company to put the public road in better
condition than it was before the street
car line wis begun.

NO MORE MONEY NEEDED
FOR SUMNER OUTINGS
Committee Gratified by Ganerot s
Response to Its Appeal.

The members of the Summer OUTINGS
Committee have secured money SUI
icieltly, they think. to carry on the
work which they have in view for the
present summer. The expenses thus far
have not been so great as was expect
ed owing to the unusually pleasant
weather. Next year they hope to extend
the summer outing work especially in
the line of providing outings of a week
or two In the country for children, and
mothers, who especially need such care.
The plan will be to send letters or
a representative to various country
communities and small towns lying
within radius OF a hundred miles
around Washington and to arrange with
citizens Of these communities for the
free accommodation OF neglected children
and mothers selected by the Associated
Charities of Washington.
The railroad fare, together with a
guide for these outing parties, will, OF
course, need to be provided, but it is
expected that hearted farmers and
the townspeople of small places around
Washington will be glad TO take one or
two children into their homes for "A
week or two as their guests without
compensation. This plan has been fol-
lowed in other cities. and the committee
expects 1t will be successful here.
To very small extent, this work is
being inaugurated this year. but it has
not been commenced in time to secure
many temporary homes in the country
for the city children. and 1t is not caus-
ing. therefore, a great drain upon the
finances of the committee. For this
reason. the committee has decided to
announce that it is probable that it VIII
not need more money than has already
been collected this year. The funds now
on hand will, it is believed, suffice for
the street car rides which are now beine
provided in generous numbers for needy
children and mothers.
The generous, prompt response made
| by the citizens Of Washington this sum
mer has been very gratifying to those
having the summer outings in charge. a.
| Il has enabled the committee to carr!
out its work satisfactorily this year.
