APPLE CROP WILL
BRING GOOD PRICE.
Virginia Farmers Advised by
Koiner to Keep Cool and
Watch Market.

Apple growers Of Virginia are again
warned by Commissioner Of Agricul-
ture George w Kolner not TO be de-
ceived by the representations OF apple
buyers who desire to force down the
market price of the fruit for personal
gain. He advises growers to study
the market. be Informed as to the
Sradations in price. and to sell TO the
best advantage.
Last year Mr.. Koiner found that
while apples were selling on Cary
street at SO a barrel, and even moro,
buyers were going through Augusta
and Frederick counties and Offering
81 or $3.50 barrel, telling the grow
ers that the crop over the United
states was immense, and that they had
pest take these prices or else wait
Tor still lower ones. At that time the
commissioner predicted through The
ilmes-Dispatch that apples would be
bringing SIS barrel b. Christmas.
lie was criticized and laughed at. but
1t came true.
FOR this year. He notes tina, the buy
ers have just pulled off convention,
IN which they passed resolution that
the apple crop this year would be tho
largest In the history OF the country.
But the government crop reports show
conditions about as they were one
year ago. In Virginia. az a matter OF
fact. the indications are for a much
smaller yield than in 1910. The de.
mand the country over is likely to be
orlsk, with the supply none too large
wait and sell with Intelligence"
says Mr. Koiner

talk OF football Is already In the air.
AT the University of Virginia pros
poets are said to be bright While a
number of tho old men will not re-
turn. there will be sufficient of last
years eleven intact to form a great
nucleus. v. p. l. Will miss Branch
Bocock, who is at North Carolina. but
in his place will come Bob williams.
president of the Virginia League, and
man who knows football. Clarence
(Sally) Miles. who occupies chair
at the agricultural school. and who in
his day was a star tackle. will also
give some OF his time to coaching the
men. while a regularly employed ply
steal instructor Will look after their
condition.
Carolina believes that this is the year
for the Blue and White. Bocock will
get all that Is possible out of the men.
He Is the right sort OF a man, and there
Will be no loafng when he is around.
Neither will there be individual play,
from which Carolina suffered under
Brides instruction last season. 30. as
he is called at Blacksburg. will Are
every man off the team and start fresh
before he will allow anything OF this
sort
Locally. Richmond College. with Hon
, aker in charge, should shine on the
gridiron. Last year Long did the best
he could. but there be those who think
he used poor judgment at critical times.
Honaker will develop n fast team. Fast
himself, he realizes the value of speed
I in the new game. and will make the
| backs hustle. With a fast back field
and line of defense which can de-
velop ordinary speed on the offense
the college should be a factor. Speed
in the back field means nearly as much
! on defense as IL does on offense, for
with a fast secondary defense to stop
holes that may be torn in the line by
the opposition, there Is small chance of
making big gains. Honaker will prove
star coach is the prediction.
The changes In the 1911 playing rules
are those that were predicted by all
students Of the game. The rules COM
mittee decided at a meeting held some
time ago TO stand pat on the rules as
they were. but appointed a committee
on revision, composed of Walter Camp.

SCHOOL OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Resolutions Adopted at Annual Con

Castine. Me. July Resolutions
We're adopted at the annual confer
ence Of the school superintendent of
Maine and amde public Saturday ex-
pressing approval of the action OF the
last Legislature in providing literally
for the support of manual, Industrial
and vocational teaching in the schools.
We believe. say the principals,
that the rural and graded elementary
schools are the fundamental part OF
our school system, and. as such, de
mand an increasingly liberal support
from the town, city and State We be-
lieve that provisions should be made
and encouraged in our High schools tC
prepare teachers, especially for rura
school work
I'VE believe in the study and prac-
tiee of the best business methods by al
superintendents and school officials, t
the end that such methods may ulti
mateiy be used in the handling of al
school business.
I'VE believe in and earnestly advo
cate the early passage of a State Law
for tho uniform certihcation of al
teachers. We believe in and urge thu
adoption of the universal record cards
transfer cards and some permanent in
dividnal medical examination RECORD
card so far as the same may be prae-
ticable for the local superintendent.
Ard, finally. we believe in the pro-
motion Of vocational work in our ru-
raj schools through the organization
of boys agricultural clubs or such 9th
er kindred organizations as may best
serve the peculiar needs of the indi-
vidua. community"
