|EQU|NOCT|AL STORMS
DECLARED MISSIONER
Statistics Fail to Confirm the popular
Idea, Weather Foreeasters

The sunshiny, springlike weather OF
Tuesday and Wednesday is cited by
forecasters at the weather bureau az
proof that "enuinoctial storms" are
a myth. The weather men declare
the popular fancy that wind and rain

Journeys north and south, has no fOun-
cation in fact They say that the
suns crossing and imaginary line has
7sthing to do with the matter.
One popular idea OF the weatfer as
determined by the equinox is we'll ex-
pressed by the following:

IL southerly a warm summer; il east

when the sun crossed the line the
wind was southwest in the morning.
hut northeast in the rest OF the day,
and we all know what the winter has
been"
However, the fcrecasters at the
weather bureau put not their trust
IN equinoctial storms One OF them
said OF the subject yesterday.
why, no, we have gathered Stats
tics for years from everywhere and
we cannot find that it rains and
storms at this season and the autumn

any other time or course, we have
spring rains because of shifting tenn
perature. and IN tie fall the West In

as for equinoctial sIoTns based on the
suns crossing an imaginary line we
take no stock in the suggestion"

TWO OFFICERS FROM W. VA.
Will Go to Texas With the First Relay
of National Guard officers.

Washington, D. c., March 21-It
has been practically decided at the
war departmnt that the officers of
the National guard who will be sent
to Texas for field instructions viii
go in relays, apportioned among the
states according to the strength of
the guard in the various states. One
man for each regiment will be sent
at a time for two weeks being sue
ceeded at the end of that time by
others. This will give two officers
from West Virginia a chance on the
first relay, two more to go at the end
of the first two weeks.
1t is understood the first of the Off
GERS are expected to report to General
Carter in Texas on the fifth of April
so the start will be made very soon
The names of those selected have not
yet been given out.

The new u. Is. church on the Boom
will be erected at the corner OF New

frontage ON the former thoronghfare
A double lot there S0x150 feet has al

ance, some $500, a committee is now
making canvass of town and the
men are meeting with much encour-

work in few days.
With the lot paid for the next thing
will be to arrange for the erection of
the church. No definite plans have
been adopted as yet in regard to the
cost or exact style of the edifce, but
the people in charge of the undertak-
ing feel confident of carrying it
through to successful conclusion.
Such place of worship as is contem-
plated will supply q want in that fast

NOT so CLEAR.

Washington dispatches report the
Mexican situation as clearing and pro
coed to offer what seems TO be regard
ed as an explanation Of the move
snent TO Texas. According to this ex-
PLANTATION. which leaves a great deal
unexplained the mobilization order
was issued con the strength of reports
which indicated that conditions in
Mexico were approaching such chaos
as might at any time threaten Ameri.
can lives and property in thas coun-
try The order was issued because It
was felt that speedy action might
avert the danger and to have the
army ready in case it became neces-
sary for Congress to act, and 1T Is said
the presence Of the troops has already
bad a SOLDERING effect.
Not word about Japanese designs.
it will be observed; not word about
England and Germany demanding
that this country protect foreign prop
erty; not a syllable about the Mon
rec Doctrine, and only incidentally
and afterward is there any mention
of the war game in which the chief
problem now seems to be more or
less mastery retirement from an ex-
posed position.
If this version is correct, and this
remains TO be established, the situa-
ton is, of course, cleared to that ex-
tent Japan, England, Germany and
the Monroe Doctrine have been elm
mated. The war game is discovered
as an afterthought rather than
premise. In fact. everything is now
cleared except the original puzzle as
TO why the troops were sent there. To
be sure, it is said they were dispatch
ed on the strength of reports which
indicated approaching chaos, but we
are still left in the dark as to wheth-
er subsequent investigation proved
the strength of those reports or wheth
er their reported indications were dis
covered to be well founded or false.
This. however will be developed
later. Fer the moment ii is satisfac-
tory to know, IL these Washington re-
ports are accurate and they bear all
the evidence OF authority, that the ex-
citement is about over. This ought to
have a SOLDERING effect all around.

APPLES,

A Kentucky farmer, writing to the
secretary of the Henderson CONNER
cial club, tells something about the
Profits of growing apples as compared
with the income from farm products.
He has made an estimate per acre OF
the average products of his farm for
the last year and a similar estimate
on his crop Of apples. He says:
Il fad that my apples averaged
twenty-one times more per acre that
Gid the farm products. which were
corn wheat. peas, meadow and tobac-
co, these being the standard products
Of the county, and said crop was
about an average crop OF the farm as
was the apple crop for an average
crop of apples. The apple crop was
about half as compared with some
crops OF the past few years. for have
put up ten barrels of understandable
apples from one tree, and one of my
aeighbors last year barreled 154 bar
rels from thirty-one trees, and this is
not the limit of the possibilities of the
apple crop by any means; it is only a
common occurrence.
81 have been growing apples fol
thirty years or more and my exper-
tense is that trees from ten years of
age up to thirty win average from
fifteen TO thirty times more than the
ordinary farm products"
This letter has a particular inter.
est for West Virginia. The farmer
who thinks there is nothing in ap.
piles" would do well to think it over
and to consider what has already
been done in West Virginia. If he
will look over the orchards in this
part of the state he will be encour-
aged-ualess he is too narrow
minded-to take UP apple growing for
himself, which will add to his
wealth and the states.
