Apples in
Virginia
Wonderful and Rapid Increase
in the Yield of this Prof
liable Crop in the
Old Dominion.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 25.-Re-
ports received by freight traffic
of the Southern Railway indi-
cate that shipments of apples
from points along its lines in
Virginia viii, at least, double
last years shipments when
47,737 barrels were handled
from stations on its main line.
running through Piedmont,
Va, and 49,049 from stations on
the Harrisonburg, Manassas
and Biuemont branches, lying
mainly in the Shenandoah
Valley.
The apple growing industry
has now reached "a high state In
Virginia and through the pro
ductivity of it's orchards and
the excellent reputation which
it's fruit enjoys. Virginia is
reaping hundreds OF thousand
of dollars annually. Ia many
cases growers are making from
5000 TO $500 per acre annually
and as result there has been a
great increase In the value Of
fruit lands. particularly in the
Valley Of Virginia where grow
ing apples for market is COM
paratively a new industry. One
grower IN this section from a
ten acre orchard gathered $50
barrels which he sold at a price
averaging above three dollars
per barrel.
Growers along the lines of the
Southern in the Valley Of Nir-
ginia predict that this year they
will market very nearly 10000
barrels and many carloads of
culls. which will mean a net
revenue of half "a million dollars
70 them. In five years they
expect a return three times as
great. Within that period it is
estimated that 100000 young
trees will be added TO the pres
ent bearing trees in Shenan-
doah county alone. Five years
ago only 27,OOO barrels were
marketed from this section, and
ten years ago the sale of twenty
barrels by any farmer would
have been regarded as a wOnd-
er. The rapid advance of the
industry 10 its present magni
tude has come from results
obtained by proper care of
orchards. AS soon as it was
seen what spraying and cult
vatiOn would do for old or
chards, the planting of new
orchards commenced and has
continued at a greater rate each
year.

TWO BEARS MEET;
NO FUR FLYING

Attendants and the animal keep
er of Natatorium park who antici-
pated a big scrap and much flying
of fur when the new bear was put
into the den with Teddy" were
doomed to disappointment, for the
two had never a word" and acted
as if they had known each other
all their lives.
The first time food was thrown
to them, both sat in their respec-
tive corners, each waiting for the
other to make a move. Teddy with
that eternal gnawing, which is so
prevalent with the bear race, start
ed toward the food, grabbed about
half of it and retired to his cor
ner. He kept his weather eye on
the newcomer, however, ready for
a rear attack, but none came.

The senior senator from Maine is

it. ask the elevator man of the CAPT
tol at Washington. He KNOWS
Senator Hale is a patrician of pa
tricians, who looks upon plebians
such as elevator men and other
mere voters with scorn.
Good morning, senator" said
the new elevator man-once. It's
fine day. sir"
when | desire your advice on

the reply of the senator from Maine,
after he had looked the man over
from head to foot.
Since then there has been no in
tercourse of any kind between the
capitol elevator man and the senior
senator from Maine.
The senior senator from Maine
has been a senator from Maine for
30 years. and all that time he has
been elected by the votes of mere
voters. most of them much like the
elevator man. He is noted for be-
ing almost as conservative as Sena-
tor Aldrich of Rhode Island, and for
being quite the most dignified man
in the senate. You'd hardly think,
to look at him, that common people
had put him in the senate to repre-
sent them.
