VIRGINIA WINS
The DEBT CASE.
Morally Certain That Sister State Will Turn
Over to Virginia Treasury at Least a
Million Dollars in Real Money

The United Statss Supreme Court at
Washington on Monday decided that
West Virginia must pay Virginia ST.
1890 This terminates the famous
and long-standing State debt case. The
question of interest was left open by
the court.
If the estimate of Attorney General
Williams, former Attorney General Will
liam A. Anderson and other State of
ficials prove correct, Virginia will get
from one-fifth to one-sixth of the ST.
182, 1000, which, according to Mondays
ruling of the United States Supreme
Court of Appeals, West Virginia must
pay as her pro rata share of the Virgin
ia-West Virginia debt.
1t may be that an even larger recov-
cry will be had on arrears of interest,
for the 81, 1872, 900 is supposed to repre-
sent principal alone. Inasmuch as the
gigantic debt has been running since
1861, some idea of the vast accumula-
tions of interest may be gained.
no yCb hOhC VI Iuc OIdL0 OI1lClalS
know the exact wording of the decision,
and hence it is too early to speculate as
to what the exact amount of the recov-
cry will be. But, as Colonel Mulberry
Sellers would say, there's millions in
it."
1t appears from information gained by
Major William A. Anderson that the
court has referred the matter of inter-
est to master, who may be required to
work some weeks before he reaches
final conclusions as to West Virginia s
Indebtedness in this respect.
1t is not unreasonable to assume, how
ever. that the arrearages of interest
may make vastly mere than the princi-
pal, especially if it is computed on a 6
per cent basis. Indeed, there are some
who think it might amount to at least
three times the principal

fruit shipped from California and

HIGH PRICES AND The FARMER

From the details that have been
presented with regard to the increase
OF the prices Of farm products between
farmer and consumer, the conclusion
is inevitable that the customer has no
well-grounded complaint against the
farmer for the prices that he pays.
The farmer supplies the capital for
production and takes the risk OF his
losses; his crops are at the mercy OF
drought. and food, and heat. and
FROST to say nothing of noxious in
sects and blighting diseases. He sup
plies hard, exacting, unremitting labor.
A degree and range of information and
intelligence are demanded by agri-
culture which are hardly equaled In
any other occupation. Then there Is
the risk Of overproduction and dis
actrously low prices. From beginning
to end the farmer must steer dex-
trously to escape perils to his profits
and indeed to his capital on every
hand. At last The products are started
on their way to the consumer. The
railroad. generally speaking, adds a
percentage Of increase to the farmers
prices that Is not large. After de-
livery by the railroad the products are
stored short time, are measured into
the various retail quantities, more or
less small, and the dealers are rid Of
them as soon as possible. The dealers
have risks that are practically small.
except credit sales and such risks az
grow out Of their trying to do an
amount Of business which is small as
compared with their number.
After consideration Of the elements

The cots" as they are called, are
cut smoothly in half, the pits taken
out and the halves laid, cup side up,
on trays for drying. Before being
put out in the sun to dry the fruit is
subjected to the fumes of burning
sulphur for about thirty minutes. This
bleaches the fruit. kills all germs that

fruit and hastens the drying.
A great many fruit growers have
very extensive drying plants, but the
process Of drying is about the same in
large and small plants. After the
trays of apricots are filed. each tray

the cups with juice and the salt helps
