MlORGANTOWN GARDENS
PRODUCE WONDERS
AND WORRIES

( Morgantown, w. Va, Aug. S.
gardeners are having their troubles
this year. They always nave ~trou-
bles but this year they claim that the
troubles are real ones In the first
place, the caulifiower is not heading.
ut is growing all right and the plants
are high and rank. But nary q sign
Fof head is there on any Of the
|plants.
investigation has been made by a
we'll known local gardener and he
hnds this condition to be prevailing
all over the city, so he says. At first
he thought that perhaps the seed
purchased was all obtained from one
source, but he finds that no matter
where the seeds came from the plants
have refused to head.
Root Wecvil No SIuggard.
Another thing that is worrying the
man with the hoe is the fact that the
melon, squash and cucumber vines
are mysteriously dying. This is said
to be due to the work Of a weeyil
which enters the vines near the -.
and then does it's work through Lne
center Of the stalk. The vines die
and the prospects for crop Of these
vegetables are made nil Immediate
ly.
Yet another kick has been fled
aud that is regarding the potato crop.
The blight got after the vines early
in the season and after that the stuff
was off. However, it Is said that the
few potatoes on the vines are of great
size and that there will be O. fair
crop.
Tomatoes have been slow in ripen-
ing. The vines have an abundance
of green tomatoes on them bit they

which have matured is not up 10
standard and many whose faVorite
vegetable this is have had cause to
kick vigorously over the samples
placed before them during the sea

conversion went back to Jerusalem
to meet the other apostles, they re-
fused to receive him, but Paul had
a friend the person of Barnabas,
who represented him to the Church
and the Church received him. Why
did they refuse him? Because OF
his past life. They knew that God
had converted him, hut they were
afraid Of him. But when Barnabas
came before them and represented
him to the Church, they received
him, but his trouble was not over
yet with them. He came back in q

one can see that there are several
questions to come up before the
next General Conference of the Col

not the least Of which will be the
election Of one or more bishops. The
extension Of the borders Of the

Washington's Keen Interest.

Through numerous other letters
and papers Washington's keen inter-
est on this form of national develop
ment may be readily traced" continu-
ed Mr. Moore. "He had personally in
spected much of the country to which
he referred. He was skeptical owing
to the Spanish possessions, of de-
velopment Of the Mississippi, lest It
might involve some disagreeable con-
sequences to the trade and interests of
the Atlantic seaboard states, but he
was ever and always thinking of that
intercommunication as between the At
lantic seaboard and the west, which
the rivers alone were able to afford.
He had the desire that many rivers
coursing through Virginia might be
connected up with other rivers from
the West in order that the products
of the settlers might be readily brought
to market but his inquiries and sug-
gestions were as comprehensive with
regard to the opening up of the Great
Lakes to the Atlantic and all other
sections along the coast, as they were
to his native state.
THE important problem, therefore
revived in the public mind as it re-
Gently has been by the creation of
many associations and by a growing
interest in congress and among the
state legislatures, is not new. Why
then, after the lapse of more than a
hundred years, are the minds of the
people turned to the problems which
confronted their forefathers? The
answer is clear. Our ancestors, charg-
ed with the perilous task of organiz-
ing country which had been woefully
retarded by an eight years war; were
compelled to depend upon the river
of the canal or the numbering coach
for the transportation of themselves
and their commodities. They never
knew of the railroad and it's manifold
advantages, nor had the steamboat yet
com to aid the shipper or the mer-
chant"

Washington had insisted that free

states upon permanent basis. Wash

vast country over which the grasp of
England had been released.

Wonderful Development.

Citing the wonderful railroad devel-

reason for temporarily detractins
from the usefulness of the water
courses and diverting the attention of
the people from them Mr.. Moore in
sisted that today there was an awak-

coast, but along the" Father of the
Waters" and on the Pacific slope in
behalf of the same doctrine in which
Washington and our forefathers be-

terways of the United States, its har-
bors and approaches, be developed

to give the best it can afford; it is
not that marvellous benefits, uniting
states and sections, oceans, lakes and
CULTS, have not ensued since the iron
horse began it's civilization of the
wilderness; it is simply that the popu-
lation of the country has grown more
rapidly in proportion than has the
ability of the railroad to comply with
the requirements of modern transpor-
tation. For these reasons we might
also encourage the construction of
such military roads as are proposed

SAYS Farmers
Waste MONEY
Prof, Hutchinson Ayers They Throw
Away 100000 Per Year On
Potash.
Special TO The News

Special TO The News
JACKSON, October 19.-According
to Prof. W.. l.. Hutchinson, director
of the state agricultural experiment
station, the farmers of Mississippi are
wasting about 100000 a year in pur-
chasing potash for use as fertilizer
on their lands.
Our farmers buy over 100000
worth of potash each year, and they
could buy 100000 worth of sand and
it would profit them just as much,'
says Prof Hutchinson. Potash has
been used on all of our agricultural
experiment farms, and it has not paid
in single instance"
At some length Prof. Hutchinson
describes the experiments with pot
ash on the several experiment farms,
the conditions under which it was
used, etc, and in each instance he
declares that the experiment result
ed in failure; that he did not find
any ground whatever to warrant con-
tinued use of this form of fertilizer,
practically all of which is imported
from the noted akali works in Ger
many.

NO SPECIAL SPRING
RESTAURANT LAMB MAY BE HERO
OF MANY SEASONS.
Great Light CaWns on Mr.. ZWizzling.
ton-Proof CT How Easy 1t Is for
People to Form Wrong
Impressions.

Curious said Mr.. Zwizzlington,
how, once formed, an impression will
persist. We get, right or wrong, an
idea of something formed under cir
cumstances likely to fix it in our
minds, and if it sticks to us always,
though under it we may do somebody
great wrong.
You take the case of spring lamb.
The first time | ever ate in a restaur-
ant the item set down on the bill of
fare as spring lamb | found it to be
very tough, tremendously tough.
Spring lamb? Why, it was winter
lamb, and winter lamb of many, many
winters. You couldn't cut it, you
couldn't impale it on a fork. Spring
lamb? Why that restaurant keeper
seemed to me as the greatest of all
liars, and restaurant spring lamb be-
came to me the embodiment of all
toughness.
This impression all my subsequent
experience tended constantly to con-
firm. | found that all spring lamb in
all restaurants was always tough.
did find this lamb always to contain a
certain strongly resistant elasticity,
but that seemed only to increase its
toughness, for it helped it to get away
from you when you tried to cut it.
irking and exasperating always was
my experience with restaurant spring
lamb, and l wondered why restaurant
keepers should so describe it,, and one
day l asked a friend of mine who was
in the business.
Steve | says to him, indicating to
him what had on my plate, which had
resisted all my efforts to cut it, why
do you call this spring lamb?'
"'Why do we call it spring lamb p
said Steve, with establishment and in.
dignation mingled in his fine, frank.
open countenance. Why do we call it
spring lamb? Because it is spring
lamb
You don't mean to tell me, really.
Steve says to him now, that this
that I've got here on my plate came
from last springs lamb?'
Last springs lamb?' said Steve,
and he seemed sort of puzzled now.
Last springs lamb? Why, certainly
don't | don't mean its last springs or
next springs or any other springs of
that kind. You don't see anything
about the year on the bill of fare, do
you? and he picked up the copy on my
table and looked at it. Why, certainly
not; nothing there about the year. You
don't see anything there, do you? And
1t isn't that kind, anyway; it doesn't
pretend to be. 1t isn't seasonal spring
lamb; it's steel spring lamb! And If
you know OF any restaurant where
they serve spring lamb that is truer to
specification than mine is I'd be glad
If you would let me know where they
get it.
ITO think that all these years I had
been harboring prejudice and hard
feelings, all on account of a totally
mistaken impression! l eat-or order
spring lamb often now, as a sort of
atonement
No doubt we are equally misled as
to many things, forming of them with.
