APPLE CROP THIS
YEAR VERY POOR

Apple growers of the Ohio valley
say that the apple crop this yeai.
while little better than last years,
is nearly rs per cent. cut down -
result of late frosts and heavy rains.
Apple growers at large say that
there is no apple crop to speak OF,
while apple shippers are talking
about the enormous crops they will
have to handle.
The convention or the Information
al Apple Shippers association is in
session this week at Niagara Falls.
The program arranged will interest
both shipper and grower. as well as
the general public. The question OF
most interest is the price for the COM
ing apple crop.
The reports to Se turned In by the
officers Of the different states, boiled
down, are to this effect: This year
there IS larger crop OF better quail
| ity than last year. The west is
double. There is good eastern crop.
The middle west is light. But the
Ohio valley crop is barely better than
| last wears.
| The Cincinnati Packer, a paper de-
voted % produce interests, has this to
say about the apple crop:
| Reports received this week from
apple growers and shippers In the
central states indicate that these
states, taken as a whole, will only
produce about Is per cent. OF full
crop. but will have as many or more
apples than last year. Some sections
and especially those lying farther
north report better conditions and in
some instances report better crop
than last year. Some OF these sec
tioDs report that from 60 to rs per
cent. of full crop will be realizet
by some Of the growers who have
given their orchards proper attention.
Generally speaking, however, there
are only few places that can boast
OF a crop that will exceed 81 per
cent.
In the famous Rome beauty grow
ing section which lies in southern
Ohio just north of the Ohio river, the
crop, commercially speaking, Is re-
ported to be a failure and what fruit
there is will be Of inferior quality.
Ohio, West Virginia and Indiana.
under favorable conditions, are the
largest apple producing states in this
section OF the country for commercial
purposes, but this year the late frosts.
rainy weather, ETC., when the trees
were in blossom prevented their prop
er polarization, thus causing short
crop.
Kentucky also has few sections
that grow apples quite extensively.
but the crops there are also reported
to be short and OF poor quality gen.
orally.
Tennessee has very few sections
where fail and winter apples are
grown to any great extent. Summer
ami fall varieties are the specialties
in the apple line. Reports from the
points where the late apples are pro
duced show that the crop in most
places will be light and only few
places report the quality to be good

sam MONTGOMERY
HAS A NEW JOB
Job Said to BE the Means ITO ar
End'-senator Has Already
Drawn Salary for Work.

Charleston, Aug. THE Gazette
publishes the following:
1t has leaked out that Senator Sam
Montgomery. author OF the corrupt
practices act, has been since July 10
serving a newly created job, known
and designated as field inspector Oh
the tax commissioners Office.
A half months salary just paid him
,ut of the treasurer's ofice-amount
due to August /, for his laIbors--
amounts to $50. To the reader whose
early education has not been neglect
ed it will be readily apparent that
$1,000 per is the size OF the job Sen
ator Sam has been handed.
What Montgomery's dusres are aside
from drawing the fifty and playing the
field" for the Swisher outfit no one
seems to know. The ONCE to which
he was appointed by Ex-Governor
White, present tax commissioner, is a
new one. just in the experimental
stage, as it were, and Senator Sam
is getting anis hand in, so that it's use
fulness remains to be proven, and re.
suits could hardly be expected yet. 1t
is a. bit early. However, it is a per
tinent fact that c.. w. Dillon, Mr..
Whites predecessor. squeezed along
through USEFUL service without .
field agent, and the record left chal.
lenges comparison.
1t is also pertinent fact that two
other new jobs were created for the
hangers-on and c'imbers-on in the last
few months, the incumbents of which
nave applied themselves very little
to problems of taxation. They made
good, however, in the political field
The most pertinent fact about Sen
a,or Sans new place is that no che
knew that he was on the job until
That fifty PUNK chunk was handed
him on warrant in which he was
designated as field inspector.
Montgomery was at the outset Of
the recent gubernatorial campaign q
marked supporter of Auditor ScherI
for governor. He almost made re
ligion out of his devotion to the cause
wanting to be looked up right wheT
the good things were passed, and he
didn't see how service such as nis
could be overlooked.
Late in the campaign the foe Of
corrupt practices saw a cloud as large
as a mans hand loom up in the dis
lance, in the shape Of whisperings o
a committee-made nomination, and h,
ecame converted, still desiring to b.
on the right side.
Montgomery became one of the &C
tive workers for the Swisher cause Al
the Charleston convention though
early in the campaign he had beer
characterized by the original Swishel
men In Preston as the B. and 0. rep
resentative in the state senate.
