Wealth in Onions.

The onion farmer is a comparatively
new arrival upon the scene of indus
trial activities in Texas. He is now
one of the large contributors to the
wealth of the state. In little more
than eight years the value of the annual
production of onions in Texas for the
market has reached approximately two
million dollars. When the fact is con-
sidered that this enormous wealth is
derived from only about twenty-five
hundred acres of land, some idea may
be had of the abundance of the yield
and the good prices that are obtained
for the product. Onion growing has
done another thing to help Texas. 1t
has been the direct means of adding
more tnan 80, 100000 to the intrinsic
value of her lands. Inasmuch as the
growers put a good portion of their an
nual earnings from the industry into
property Improvements in town and
country the increase of taxable wealth
from the source has also been consider
able.
The wonders which were wrought by
the magic touch of Aladdin's lamp
were no greater than the transforma-
ton which onion growing has brought
to certain portions of Texas during the
last few years. Land which, from the
time of the early visit of the Spaniards
to the Rio Grande border section, was
thought to be almost worthless, and at
the very most only fit for goat grazing,
is now bringing in an annual net re-
turn of from $500 to $500 per acre from
the onions which it produces. Before
the Inauguration of onion growing any
of this land could have been purchased
at prices ranging from one dollar to two
dollars per acre. 1t has now no estab-
lished value for the reason that none
of its owners are willing to sell. They
will not fix value upon the land.
which had such large producing quail
ties ought to be worth not less than
$1,000 per acre. Some of the onion
growers say they would not be willing
to accept less than $1,000 per acre for
their lands. Even at that price the an
nual net return will average nearly
twenty-five per cent. ON the invest

THE GRAND CAMP.
ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD IN
CHARLoTTESvILLE IN OCTOBER.

ANNUAL MEETING TO BE HELD IN
CHARLOTTESvILLE IN OCTOBER.
Regarding the annual meeting of the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
to be held in Charlottesville in Octo-
ber, the following General Orders
have been issued by General Thomas
T. Munford, of Lynchburg, Grand Com
mander:
L. The twenty-first annual meeting
of the Grand Camp of Confederate Vet
Grams of Virginia will be held in Char
lottesville on the 10th of October, 1908.
The John Bowie Strange Camp of
that city, will, on the 23rd of October,
unveil monument to the memory OF
our comrades of the county of Albe-
marie and the city of Charlottesville,
who perished in cause we believed to
bo holy. The Grand Camp is cordially
invited to participate with that camp
in these ceremonies.
The splendid record of the troops
from Albemarle and their hospitality
to strangers, handed down by tradition
as far back as 1779, when the "Conven-
ton Troops" British and German,
taken at Saratoga) were quartered up
on them, is. sufficient guarantee that all
Confederate soldiers will realize the old
song General J. +. B. Stuart loved to
sing, eff you want a good time, jine
the cavalry As has been the custom,
one sponsor and maid of honor for each
Congressional district will be appoint
ed upon the recommendation of the
several district inspectors, and one
from the State at large.
Railroad rates can be had from local
agents.
Attention is called to the following:
2. Every camp which has not COM
piled with article VIII, section l, of
the bylaws, rules and regulations,
which provides that ''each of the camps
coming to the Grand Camp shall be as
sessed and pay 10 cents per member
annually to defray the expenses of the
Grand Camp, and that) no camp shall
be entitled to representation at any
meeting of the Grand Camp unless it's
assessment has been paid to the Quar-
termaster General or other proper Of
ficers prior to or at said meeting"
Please remit unpaid dues at once to
Quartermaster David A. Brown, Jr.,
Richmond, Va.
B. The special attention of the ad-
Jutant of each camp is called to the
blank report enclosed with this order,
and he is earnestly requested to fill out
this blank at the earliest moment prac-
ticable and return it to the Adjutant
General, Richmond, Va. This is i'm
portant in order to keep the roster of
the Grand Camp complete to date with
the names and addresses of all of the
present acting officers of the several
camps Without these reports, past
officers names are continued on the
Grand Camp roster, thus producing
confusion and delay in carrying out the
orders as they are issued.

Grand Commander.

WEALTH OF THE ROMANOFFS.
rRyes i5F INCOME OF THE IMPERIAL
FAMILY OF RUSSIA.

! The imperial family of Russia is the
richest royal family in Europe, and de-
rives its vast wealth from three sources
the state treasury, the imperial do
mains formerly church lands) and the
so-called sscabinet properties" The
state treasury provides for the Gar the
sovereign; the imperial domains are
the joint property of the members of
the house of Romanoff, but admins
tered by the head Of the house; and the
s'cabinet properties" are the personal
property Of the reigning sovereign as
such. No data are available for esti-
mating the amount of property held
by the Gear and other members of his
house in their private capacity as indi-
viduals, but it is known to be consid-
cradle both in land and in gold, says
Harper's Weekly.
| The state treasury pays out s., ,0OO, 600
per annum for the needs of the imperi-
al house, principally for the mainte-
/ llttilSS VI tllS PlittCS'o et1lSt tilN
and servants attached to them. The
reigning Empress, for example, has an
allowance of 100000 per year, and the
dowager Empress the same. Every
child born to the Gar receives from
! birth to the age of q nearly $50, 900 a
year, while the heir to the throne re-
ceives annually, in addition to the
maintenance of palaces, $50, 600.
Daughters receive a dowry of 100000
rubles when they marry. The figures
under this head are comparatively
modest, and the total expenditure
charged to the state treasury is less
than per cent of the annual budget.
The imperial domains, originally
church lands, are the main source of
the wealth of the Romanoffs. In the
Middle Ages the church in Russia filled
the role of bank, and the wealth
amassed in the course of centuries was
enormous. The Russian church is not
poor now, but the bulk of it's possess
sions passed to the house of Romanoff
a century ago. The imperial domains
comprise q, $685. 900 acres-an area larg-
er than all Ireland. About two thirds
of this area is forest out of which comes
a goodly revenue. The timber export
ed from Archangel is known all over
the world, while the estate of Bleovezh,
that magnificent forest where still are
preserved herds of the aurochs, annual
ly provides for sale 1000, 900 cubic feet
of timber. Another estate in the Vol
ogda province produces 100000 of the
largest timber trees annually for the
imperial sawmill there.
The largest vineyards, producing the
best wine in all Russia, belongs to the
domains, and about $500, 900 worth of
wine is annually sold from this source
In the province of Samara is sugar
plantation, the factory of which pro-
duces ], 800 tons OF sugar every year.
Mineral wealth is worked in 100
pIaces-1, 500 flour mills, 1000 fisheries,
100 wharves on various rivers, and $50
trading concerns of various kinds are
among the minor undertakings belong
ing to the imperial domains. But the
greater part of the cultivated area is
rented. There are $4,000 lots for agri-
cultural purposes and 10000 for viticul-
ture. The clear profit derived from
these various sources is over $4,000, 900
per annum.

Spanish Emeralds.

''E'ine old Spanish emeralds'' is a
phrase which means something quite
different from what it seems to imply
There never was an emerald mined
in Spain, but after the conquest of
Peru the conquerors brought home
great quantities of loot, of which eme-
raids formed an important part. In
this way the finest emeralds came into
possession Of the old Spanish families,
and as very few had been seen in Flu
rope previous to that time all the best
stones soon became classed as fine old
Spanish emeralds. Today the express
sion still applies 10 the best emeralds OF
any source.

Woodpeckers Destroy Telephone and
Telegraph Poles.

Birds are destroying the telephone
and telegraph poles in the south and
southwest, particularly in Texas, Ari-
IONA and California. In some places
fifty per cent of all the poles along the
right-of-way have been riddled by these
innocent offenders, which belong to the
woodpecker family.
One of the Western Union officials,
who has recently returned from an in
spection through the west, reported
having seen twenty-five telephone poles
with two or three hundred holes drilled
clear through them. Some of the holes
were three or four inches in diameter.
An officer Of the Illinois Central Rail-
road counted the cedar telephone poles
along the right-of- way near Covington,
Tennessee, which had been affected by
woodpeckers, and found that out of
26S poles, no. or IL per cent, had been
bored.
In some cases destruction of the pole
takes only few months and the weak
ened condition makes it dangerous for
lineman to climb the stick.
The real object of the birds in drill.
ing the holes is uncertain. One tele-
phone man said that the humming of
the wires was mistaken by the birds for
insects excavating beneath the surface
OF the wood, and that they drilled the
poles inquest of these imaginary insects.
1t is very probable, however, that the
holes are excavated for an entirely diff
ferent purpose. The woodpecker is q
provident bird. AT the proper season
it stores up supply of acorns and 9TH
er foods for future consumption. In
the summer holes are often found stored
with acorns.
Many methods for preventing this
damage have been suggested, but prob
ably the most successful is preserva.
| ton with creosote. A line of creosoted
poles, opposite the one near Covington,
was examined, and not single hole
was found. When it is considered that
creosote will not only prevent the dam.
age caused by the woodpecker, but also
protect the pole indefinitely against
both insects and decay, its great value
as preservative is apparent.
The Forest Service has spent consid
erable time in developing a cheap ye1
efficient method for the treatment O,
telephone and telegraph poles. The
results of the work are embodied ir
several Forest Service circulars, copies
of which may be obtained without eos
from the Forester, Washington, D. C.

VAST NEW TREASURE HOUSE OF COAL.
Forty-five billion tons of coal, includ-
