of the Norfolk Board of Trade in securing this
convention.
The Norfolk Board Of Trade is one Of the
strongest, financially, in the United States, and
has accomplished great deal for the benefit of
Norfolk. A clipping from one of-the leading
newspapers, after reciting the accomplishments
OF the Board Of Trade, states:
Last, but by no means least, the Atlantic
Deeper Waterways Convention, one of the
greatest accomplishments in Norfolk's history
graced, as it will be, by the presence of the
President and President, a greater assem-
blage of influential men has never before visited
our city and vast results will follow"
II can be seen that the delegates as appointed
by the Wilmington Board of Trade are sent 20
attend one OF the greatest conventions that has
ever been brought to its attention, and the
Wilmington business men should find it a
pleasure to belong to this association, whose
convention will be attended by the President
and e-Presdent of the United States It
will be recalled that this convention has adopted
in its complete form of policy, the Delaware and
Chesapeake Canal as the first project to be COM
pleted in the Atlantic Deeper Waterways sys-
TEN.
The Wilmington Board Of Trade has worked
faithfully in its endeavor to bring this great
project to the attention of the country, and its
efforts were we'll rewarded, when the leading
commercial men Of the East assembled selected
and endorsed the canal as the first thing to be
completed in this system.

APPLE CULTURE.

GONE interest has been aroused of late n
- the cultivation OF apples in Delaware.
The average person, however, has but little idea
Of the greatness of apples as a crop in the United
States We hear much of grain and poultry
and meats. but fruit is supposed to hold minor
place in the country's economy as compared
with other products.
The apple crop in the United States and Can
ada for the present year will, according to the
latest figures approximate 100000 barrels.
which is greater by about 100000 barrels
than the crop OF last year. But during the last
fifteen years the crop has decreased consider
ably In 1895, the crop amounted TO 6oooo-
600 barrels, and in 1908 it ran down TO 2S-
100000.
1t thus is seen that the production Of apples
has not kept pace with the growth of popua-
tion in the country. The greater interest aroused
in the cultivation OF this luscious fruit is like
w soon TO bring the production up to If not
beyond the figures Of 1895. It really should
exceed those figures.
A New England Association for the promo
tion Of fruit culture in that region the other
day celebrated "Apple Day." and the apple
growers of six states had some Of their finest
fruit on exhibition. Only one New England
state has shown a falling away in its apple pro-
duction. The decrease seems to have come
from the West
American apples are not only in demand for
home consumption, but there is large foreign
market for them. In 1902, 2,Soo.ooo bushels
were exported and in 1907 the exports reached
100000 bushels.
Throughout the Pacific Northwest there has
been great interest in apple growing. The
value of the crop in Washington, Oregon and
Idaho In 1905 was SI4oooooo. The State of
Washington alone has more than 100000 acres
devoted to apple culture It is not without
reason then that the Delaware Peninsula IS
paying attention to the cultivation OF apples. 1t
has been shown that we can produce fine ap-
pies in this part of the country and those who
have cultivated the fruit with care and skill de-
clare that apples make paying crop.

Why Not Make Il southward.

Atlanta Georgian.
DO the people Of the South realize
the magnitude Of the annual drift of
population toward Canada?
Last year 10000 persons crossed the
/ border line to establish permanent
homes in the territory of the king.
On an average it is safe to estimate
that each emigrant was worth approx
imately $1,000.
Consequently the amount OF money
subtracted from the circulating med
ium Of the United States by this ex-
odus may be figured in round num-
bers at S60,000,0OO.
For the current year It is stated in
official circles that an even greater
number Of Americans will transfer al
legiance to Edward VII.
And most OF the emigrants belong
to the sturdy Scandinavian stock.
Now what does this mean for us?
TO be direct and explicit it means
that II we are not putting forth our
best efforts TO attract this enormous
drift Southwark, we need to do so at
once. Not only the millions of dol

can; but somehow we fail to attract
In sufficient numbers the energetic.
the even-tempered. the law-ablding
and the home-loving races which hail
from the north Of Europe.
One reason for this failure is due to
the omnipresent negro problem.
But the evil result Of contact and OF
