DREDGING THE RAPPAHANNoCK

Commanding with the LIST Of April,
the work Of dredging the Rappshsnnock
river will be kept up until the remaining
half of the '$25. 900 appropriation has
been expended. 1t is thought that at
least another $25. 900 will have to be ex-
pended before the river Is in satisfactory
condition.-Riehmond Journal Of Com
merce.
From our observation If Congress
does not soon come to the rescue of
the upper Rappahsnnock Fredericks-
burg will be cut off entirely from
steamer transportation. $25, 900 is far
too small for this worthy object. AT
least $4,000 or 100000 should be
appropriated in one lump, to be ex-
pended in one herculean dig. After
that small appropriations biennislly
would keep the channel open. 1t is
rather a poor commentary on our
national administration of affairs
that so old and important waterway
as the Rappahannock should go suf.
fering while some Congressman with
"pull" get hundreds of thousands
to expend on rocky fresh water
streams where nothing but the fishes
sail up the tumbling waters.

We do not know how Mr.. Swanson
could have made the announcement OF
his candidacy more positive, nor more
emphatic, nor more formal than he has
done. He has made his announcement,
through his friends and over his own
signature. and he has made IL all the
more emphatic for the reason that from

he would not run. On one occasion he
requested the Times Dispatch to corrsc,

THE CROPS.

The freezing weather last week
did not hurt large fruits in Eastern
Virginia, and no trucks or small
fruits Immediately on salt water were
injured. Further back small fruits
and trucks were injured, and north
and west of us nearly all frGit was
destroyed. \
Froyenaer is very scarce and high,
and grass ia very back ward, and
many a man is wondering how he is
to keep his stock alive, or at any
rate, fit for service. So many neg
lected other crops in order to raise
tomatoes for the numerous canneries
last year that now good deal of bay
is brought from Baltimore and Nor
folk.
The tomato canning business will
not be 80 extensive along the Poto-
mac this year. Jones & Reed, can
ners at Currioman wharf, have de-
cided not to operate their factory.
and Charles King & Son, of Alexan-
dria, 1t Is said, will not CONTRACT for
tomatoes along the Potomac this
season.. That means that number
or farmers who are not accessible to
factories will not gyow the red fruit.
During the past ten years the tomato
canning industry has brought as
much money to the Northern Neck
as any other one thing.
