Hop Exhibit, Chicago, Oct.
IL to u.

MMONG the important crops Id the
"a states of the central West'
"a northwest and Pacific coast
are barley and hops, both OF
which REQUIRE considerable care in
cultivation. The chief market for the
better grades Of barley is the mailing
industry. which supplies principally
the brewing and distilling trades: The
principal and almost exclusive market
for hops is the brewing industry.
For a number of years American
and European scientists have devoted
much inquiry to these crops for the
purpose Of deciding upon which prop
critics are conditioned their value to
the consumer
With regard to barley. there is con-
siderable difference of opinion, the
views of American and European in
vestigators diverging to an extent.
With regard to hops, scientific inquiry
has not yet proceeded far enough to
state with any degree of certainty
which are the leading characters OF
the plant that make up its value to
the manufacturer who uses it.
Departments of Agriculture Study
Barley and Hops.
The agronomists and chemists of the
State Agricultural colleges and several
specialists of the United States de-
partment of agriculture have devoted
a great deal of time to the study OF
barley and hops and their improve
ment. They have been advising the
farmers to devote attention to the pro-
! duction of those properties in these
crops which are most desired by the
consumer In this work, however,
they have met with considerable dlft1-
Guilty from the fact that they have
been unable to state positively what
those properties are that the consumer
desires.

the seed, not only in the matter OF
tanning out all dead and degenerate
berries, so as to seed only good and
live grain and produce a good crop
where no grains will fail to sprout,
but also because there has been lack
Of uniformity as to variety or strain.
This is perhaps of more than ordinary
importance in the case of barley and
is one of the matters that will engage
the attention Of the barley and hop ex-
hibition at Chicago in October, 1911.
The barley which is used for mating
purposes is put through an artificial
process of sprouting in mass, in which
necessarily all grains are treated alike:
It stands to reason, however, that
where plump and thin grains, mellow
and f1inty ones, starchy and album1nouS
grains are all STEPPED and sprouted
under like conditions they will neces-
sarily grow differently and cannot yield
q uniform malt This causes serious
troubles to the consumer when ne
works up the malt in the further proc
esses of manufacture and makes 1t
difficult for him to finish off a uniform
product. 1t stands to reason that
where the different kinds of grains are
all seeded in the same soil in like man
ner at the same season and grow under
the same weather conditions the ber-
ries of different characters cannot pos
sibly develop alike. The result will be
I'm uneven stand, differences in the
time of maturing, different action i'll
the stack, etc.
Pedigree Grain.
Different strains Of barley will grow
differently on different soils and in
different climates.
In order to produce the best crops
which will also be the most abundant
it is therefore necessary to use pure
strains, or, as the scientists call them,
'pediGree'' grain, where all the berries
are Of the same variety or strain and
will behave alike under similar condi-
tons It is also necessary to find by
experiment what particular strain is
best suited to certain soils and eli

One More Unfortunate /!

On Tuesday evening q Page county
man one Bud Hillard, who has re.
Gently been working at and near Ber-
ryville, after spending the day in
Charles Town with companions
started to take the south bound Nor
folk & Western train. but missing it,
decided to walk home. About 4 mile
and a-half from town he was struck
and killed By the north bound passen-
ger train, due here at 7:28 b. n. On
the fireman notifying the agent here
Mr.. Boiinger at once had Dr.. Venning
and Justice c. Frank Gallaher 90 to
the scene Of the tragedy. On viewing
the remains the Coroner deemed an in

Another Outrage.

1t was hoped that with two holdups
to its discredit, an era of peace and
order had set in for Charles Town, but
this consumnation is still apparently far
off. On Saturday night, while in dis
charge of his duty in trying to run down
q gang of dseenerates in Myers Stable
alley, our Chief Of Police was assaulted
by thug. whose identity he could not
establish, being badly hurt and disfgur-
ed in the conflict. s
1t is hoped that the Town authorities
will not allow this last outrage to go
unpublished, nc matter what the cost Of
convicting the guilty person.
That the representative Of Law and
Order and head Of the Police force
should be seen with his face BATTERED
and bruised by the malefactor he cour-
ageously tried to arrest, is stigma on
the community, which, it is hoped, will
be wiped out by the conviction of Mr.
Quick's assailant.

NO SALOONS IN
JEFFERSON.
The Valley Of Virginia "DrY' From
Lexington to Harpers Ferry
Harrisonburs Excepted and
it Goes Next.

The County Court by finally unani-
nous vote on Tuesday, voted the entire
County dry, closing ten saloons in Charles
Town aud three saloons and beer de-
pot at Harpers Ferry.
Thus after many seeming discourage
ments ends the fight Of the No-License
Committee for the abolition Of the
saloon in Jefferson, with every point
for which it has contended gained.
The movement began with the refusal
OF the Town Council Of Charles Town
to hold an election for lack Of jurisdic-
ton. or to petition the Legislature to
amend our Town Charter SO as to per-
NIT the people to vote on license.
After the organization of the No
License Committee and the circulation
Of petitions throughout the county pray-
ing the Commissioners not to grant
license. the Council called Special
Election, at which numbers Of votes
were admitted which could not have been
cast in legally held election. The
methods adopted by the license advo-
Gates were SO repellant that at the re-
gular election legally held under the
charter fortnight later, the results
were reversed and Charles Town now
has five no-license councilmen, assuring
dry town for at least two years.
With perfect Organization, and
systematic canvass Of the County, the
No License Committee was able to pre-
sent to the Court protests against IL
cense signed by great majority of the
freeholders and white voters Of Jeffer-
son.
On Monday the petitions were pre-
scented to the Court. by Capt. John T.
Colston, Chairman and the Clergy of the
County, Judge Frank Beckwith pre-
sentlng the legal features of the case
for the protestants and Col. Forrest
"; Brown appearing for the saloon
applicants.
These gentlemen spoke against Lii
cense: Revs. A. c, Hopkins, Bishop
w. L. Grayatt, j. G. Hawk, w. r.
Flanagan and J. s. Alfriend; Profess
sors T. G. Miller, of Shepherd College,

College; Col. r. P. Chew Editor H. Z.
Snyder, Of Shepherdstown and Mayor
Geo. L. Martin. of Harper's Ferry.
Hon. James M. Mason advocated the
Of License.
The Court House held large and |
splendid audience of representative
intensely interested in the
outcome.
The Court reserved its decision until
tuesday morning. when the foregoing
lction was taken.
Considering the odds, the unli aiited
esources of the opposition and the
hortness of the campaign-the result
8 remarkable one and speaks well
or the public spirit of the community.

h viErihk Orchard Lands.
Want Facts Only.
VIM Campbell Esq, Editor,
Virginia Free Press.
Dear Sir. THE fruit growers Of Viz.
giuia are much interested IN the de-.
velopment of the fruit industry Of their
State, believing as they do, that there
is in Virginia plenty Of land suited to
the successful production Of the highest
grade. and best favored apples in the
world, But they do not as BODY he
lieve that the best interests Of the State:
are being furthered BY misleading and
reckless advertising, and false represen-
tations; on the contrary, they realize
that this results in doing more harm
than good
While there is plenty Of first-class
apple land in the State, especially in the
Piedmont and Shenandoah Valley,
sections Of the State. where commercial
orcharding is now practiced on large
scale, yet all the land, even in these sec
lions isnot best adapted for thispurpose;
as is the case in other States, there is
land admirably adapted to this purpose
and other that is not so.
Several misleading statements have
been advertised that have attracted the
attention of honest Virginia fruit
growers, Of which they disapproyed:
and at the last meeting Of the Virginia
State Horticultural Society, which was
held at Roanoke, Va, last January.
this matter was discussed and the fol
lowing resolution was passed BY 4
unanimous vote Of the whole member
ship, thus placing them on record as
opposed to any misleading statements:
Resolved, That this Society stands
for conservation in advertising the
horticultural resources OF the State.
In the midst ofthe present rapid and
enthusiastic development Of our fruit
interests. we are not in sympathy with
attempts to overcolor our advantages.
We believe, for example, that the state
ment that choice Virginia fruit, land,
easily accessible to a, railroad, can be
bought for$5 an acre; that the apple
crop of Virginia in 1910 was /, 800. 900
barrels; that Virginia grown Lowry
apples sell for SIS per bushel, and sim
liar exaggerations, can only mislead
and disappoint those who are tempted
to Virginia by this means, and that in
the long run such advertising does
much more harm than good to our fruit
interests.
( We are convinced that the advan-
tages of Virginia, natural and other
wise, for commercial fruit growing are
such that the most effective kind Of
exploitation is that which simply states
the facts without any attempt to color
or embellish.
We consider the booklet entitled
!" Fruit Growing in Virginia, I" recently
issued by this Society, fair. conserv-l
alive, and reliable statement of our
horticultural advantages. We endorse
booklet and urge those who are in
terested in our horticultural develop
ment to adopt its conservative tone, .
People who are interested in the sub
ject of fruit growing IN Virginia will
do well if they make careful investi-
cations before investing their money.
Very truely yours,
WALTER WHATELY.

A Righteous Decision.

The County Court, in needing
the expressed will of the people
of Jefferson, has by its action in
refusing liquor license through
out the County strengthened the
faith of our people, not only in
the Court itself, but in our govern
mental institutions.
The causes which have for the
first time in generation resulted
in the abolition of the saloon in
Jefferson County, are too appar
ent for lengthy rehearsal.
An arrogant attempt to CON
troll the politics of the commun-
ity; an utter disregard of law
and order on on the part of some
licensees, with the. consequent
crime and disorder which have
made our town notorious of late;
these, and the object lesson Of at
tempted saloon domination shown
by the Special Election, have
been call to arms to the law
abiding and God fearing citizens
of Jefferson.
Being thrice armed" having
their quarrel just, . the result
has been inevitable ever since an
outraged public sentiment be-
came crystallized in the No Lii
cense Commute.
Certain civic obligation, how
ever, now rest on those response

are to take the place of the Ii

this movement are not Of the

e expect the hearty cooperation
IF the police arm of the County,
and of those vested with author
