''Some Horticultural Questions.
Some Horticultural Questions" is
the name of the paper read by r. A.
Jones of Spokane. The first ques-
ton propounded was, why were the
codling moth SO plentiful and so in
vulnerable during the season of
1902" Some will say that because
of the small number of apples on the
trees and the same number of worms
that the natural result would be the
larger percentage of wormy fruit
Mr.. Jones said that this was not the
case in many orchards. The ques-
ton was left unanswered.
Winter Kill Buds.
why Is 1t that the same tenpera-
ture will kill fruit buds on trees in
one place and not in another"
Coloring of Fruit.
What causes the color on ap-
ples?" Some say sunshine, water,
Columbia river sand. Others say the
rich volcanic ash. The speaker then
went on TO show the different theories

Apple Shippers association, he as
serted, sent out a report that the
crop for 1909 would be SO per cent
greater than that of the year before.
This was done to mislead the grow
ers and secure the fruit at low prices.
Instead of an increase in the amount
produced there was in reality de-
crease.
Freight Rates.
The need of cheaper freight rates
from this state to New York is high
ly important. 1t now takes Is to
% days for car to go from Column
bia river points to New York. This
is too long and should be remedied
horticultural Law.
Our state horticultural law has
been greatly improved. There are
however, one or two minor details
that need our attention.
Law for Nurserymen.
We need a more stringent law to
prevent nurserymen from delivering
trees which are not true to name.
No honest nurseryman will object to
strict regulations in this respect.
Fruit Men Should Have Say.
Inasmuch as the chief reason for
the existence of the Office Of fruit in
spector is to safeguard the industry
of fruit growing, it would seem right
and proper that the people who are
something to say about who should
hqld the Office.
The following resolution was pass
ed at the,last meeting: 1--WE recon-
mend that the commissioner and dis
trict inspectors be appointed for in
definite terms and be removed only
for such cause as neglect of duty or
inefficiency, provided, that the COM
missioner shall remove any inspector
upon petition of majority of the
| owners of commercial orchards in his
district"
No Danger of Over-Production.
There is no danger of over-produc-
| ton. Every hole in the ground is
not gold mine, neither can one reas-
onably expect to get an average an
nual return of $500 per acre on every
tract that is now being planted to

body seems to be talking good

TO have the majority as large as
possible in favor of good roads

SUMMER NORMAL

In the closing days of the
Summer Normal il seems fair
and just that the public should
know to whom their successful
session is due. That the fac.
ulty and student body has each
contributed its particular share
will be acknowledged by all.
yet they agree that the prime
factors have been, the Local
Manager, Mr.. Jno. a. Hicks
and the Conductor, Mr.. j. n.
Hillman.
Only those who have been
Local Managers can appreciate
how trying n position il Is. To
find homes for three hundred
and twenty student teach
ers is no small job in itself, but
when TO this is added the work
Of an instructor as well, we feel
that he has done double duty.
Mr.. Hicks has been untiring in
his efforts 60 please both stu
dent teachers and faculty in
their many demands upon him
for Communication tickets or

NO LONGER A DULL SUBJECT.


There has been "A marked
change in public sentiment on
the road question. There was
a time, not very long ago, eth
er when the subject was dull,
prosy and uninteresting The
headlines, "GOod Roads," over
an article in a newspaper was
sufficient cause for dropping
the paper at once, or, at least,
skipping said article. Not so
now. Every body. of every class
and occupation, wants good
roads built. and it is not far
wrong 20 say, willing TO pay
for them. Every foot Of good
road built i'm a county; every
bond issue or subscription vot, q
by any county anywhere. is a
stimuious and inspiration TO

DEDICATION A
SPLENDID SUCCESS

Sunday. July 3lst, was a great
day for the Disciples of Pen
nington Gap and of Lee county.
On that day they dedicated
what is admitted TO be the best
church building In Lee county.
When one remembers that G..
b. Livesay, the present pastor,
held the first meeting for the
Disciples in that town about one
year ago, and organized a small
band of fifty or sixty members,
and then look at the present
beautiful, modern building, one
wonders how il was done.
Mr.. Livesay succeeded in
getting a building committee
that worked, and that is the
secret. An the year these men
have thought, and prayed. and
planned, and we behold the re-
suit.
l.. G. Shelbourn, J. r. Witt
and e. b. Livesay are the ones
who deserve special credit, but
the disciples of the county and
all the people Of the town of
Pennington Gap were greatly
interested and anxious TO help.
The house being too small To
accommodate the congregation
expected, the dedicatOry ser
vices were held ia a beautiful
grove beyond the church build
ing. 10 is believed that fully
1900 people were present.
At the morning service II. {.
Combs presided and read the
Scripture Lesson; j. =. Miller
made the opening prayer, and
G.. r.. J.. Nawter, the Indiana
Evangelist, preached the ser
mon. Following this, II. G.
Combs made the appeal for
money and stated that $500
was wanted To meet obligations.
When the services closed at
noon. S5OO was needed. During
the noon hour, dinner being
served on the ground, the work
ers continued the search for
money. Ia the afternoon ser
vice "A second appeal was made,
and in % few minutes AZ was au
nounccd that the amount need
ed had been secured.
la the afternoon. Ronulu~
Skaggs. representing the Bap-
tst people OF Pennington. and
ami Rev. Mr. Hunter. represent
ing the " r.. Church Of PEN
nington. presented brief con
gratulatOry addresses. Follow
ing this. II. &. Combs spoke on
the work and plea Of the Dis
ciplcs.
In the church az 8 2. m, Mr..
futile. who had conducted the
song service of the day, con
ducted an interesting and help
FIJI song service, after which "a
beautiful dedicatory service
was held. and evangelist Naw-
ter led the dedicatory prayer.
The service which followed was
conducted 10y Evangelist Naw-
ter and futile. Both the preach
cr and singer made favorable
impression. and closed one of
the greatest days in the history
Of Pennington Gap.
a revival meeting is now in
progress, and will continue in
definitely. lt is thought that
much good will result from il,
as Messrs. Nawter and futile
are strong, consecrated men.

WISE CO. PUTS Us
ALL TO SHAME

Unless there is a mistake in
the Geographic newspaper mes
sage, Wise county. out in the
bluegrass mountain country of
Southwest Virginia, proposes to
issue S7OO,OO of bonds for coun-
~ road Improvement. This
sum. IL is estimated, will build
about 100 miles Of solid, endur-
ing turnpike highways that
will penetrate every quarter Of
the county.
Seven hundred thousand dol
lars, That is "A tremendous pile
Of money. No county i'm the
State has done 50 well for its
roads And yet the total popu
lation OF Wise i'm the 1900 cen.
sus is less than 10000 OF this
population. however, nearly
$1,000 were white people. The
negro population was less than
1000. or but little over ten per
cent.
Wise county proposes to 90
down IN it's jeans as literally as
any far-seeing capitalist would
20 in prosecution Of his private
business. The question has been
considered in the light of the
experience of the most progress
sive sections OF the country
which experience has amply
demonstrated that a compre-
hensive scheme of good roads
pays big dividends in any com
munity.
There is no shadow OF doubt.
II We believe the lessons Of ex-
perience. that the investment
will pay. Wise county, at a
single bound, will leap 90 the
very forefront in the ranks Of
