FOUR USELESS NAVY YARDS
Secretary Meyer Will Do Well to
Abolish Institutions That Are
No Longer Of Value.

George Won l.. Meyer. the secretary
OF the navy. has been bold enough to
criticize something American while
abroad. In an interview which he
gave in London after an inspection Of
British dock yards he said: The
United States has twice the number
of dock yards that there are in this
country. yet the navy of the United
Kingdom is twice as large as that of
the United States"
While this Is not the first time Sec
rotary Meyer has made the declara.
ton 1t is the first time 1t has re-
ceived first-page publicity. He has
more than once alluded TO the futility
OF keeping up navy yards at New Or.
leans. Pensacola. Charleston, Norfolk
and Philadelphia. Out of eleven navy
yards and stations on our eastern
coast at least four are unnecessary
According to the figures In the sec.
retary's last report the United States
could AFFORD to blow four of its new
dreadnoughts into oblivion II with the
same four blasts II could forever rid
itself of four OF its useless Atlantic
coast navy yards. Buried from access
at the head OF sand-filled channels
and waterways which were adequate
half a century ago when eighteen feet
was big draught, these yards lie in
condition of desuetude that might
be innocuous II they were not eating
up millions of good dollars each year.
An expenditure Of fourteen millions
would double the facilities of the New
York yard. AT present this, the most
important navy yard we possess. has
no dock large enough to float an up-
to-date war vessel so that the big
ships Of the fleet have to bob between
New York and Boston before their re.
pairs can be completed.
1t is high time that the waste of
money In government construction of
war vessels and In the maintenance
OF useless navy yards should cease.
Secretary Meyer is trying to abolish
obsolete yards aud to confine the
work OF the others TO the purpose for
which they are primarily intended
the hitting out and repair OF ships
The useless yards can nearly all be
sold for good price. II will take
courage to support the navy depart
ment in this policy. Each one of the
useless yards is located in a differ
ent state and the politicians who rep
resent these states in Washington are
not accustomed to sacrifice petty pro-
vincial interests to the welfare OF the
nation.
But this reform ought to be real
lied before we shout for any further
extension of government functions. or
any transfer of private business to
the control of Uncle Sam.

NOTES REGARDING ALFALFACROP

Mr.. Willis Wing, of Mechanicsburg.
Ohio, is large grower of alfalfa and
a well-known authority upon it's cul-
ture. On the special train recently Oh.
Grated by the College of Agriculture
through Eastern West Virginia Mr..
Wing created great interest in alfalfa
all along the line. At several points
excellent fields OF alfalfa were found.
At keyser, Mr. V. F.. Alkire brought
on a large bunch of extra fine. heavy
alfalfa, and at kearnysville Mr.. Wing
Inspected 90 acres which he declared
was as fine as any found i'm Ohio.
You say this is not'an alfalfa coun-
try said he. We'll, have you tried
it-tried it carefully? They said the
same thing in Ohio years ago and the
men at the university said 1t would

failed to grow it who is now establish

NEED EXPERT ADVICE
CONGRESS SHOULD WELCOME
HELP ON TARIFF MATTERS.
VoterI VIII Be Unit on the Opinion
Of Trade Figures Collected by
Competent Men - Payne
Law Case in Point

We shall hear at the next session
OF congress somethi1g-probably a
good deal-about what is called a
scientific tariff. 1t Is asserted that
the work OF tariff making has been
performed hitherto in haphazard
manner. Too little has been known
by Legislators about the subject.
They have not known enough even to
go to the best sources for information.
The results have been unsatisfactory.
The latest is pointed out as being es-
pecially so. Critics of the Payne law
attribute the storm 1t has produced to
the method of it's preparation. Had
Its author and his lieutenants been
better advised as to production and
prices their work would have found
favor with the public. II would have
been more symmetrical, and there
fore the more deserving.
There is. however, an exception to
the rule. The Dingley law was pre-
pared in the fashion now criticized
Statistics were obtained by the same
methods that were subsequently
adopted In the case of the Payne law
MIR. Dingley and his lieutenants en-
ployed their own assistants in the
gathering Of information, and passed
hpon 1t without referring it to any
other tribunal. The result was tariff
law which proved to be successful
In every way, and under which the
business OF the country prospered as
never before
Mr.. Dingley. II is true, was himself
tariff expert. He knew the subject
down to the ground. He was not only
quaIhed to choose his assistants. but
to pass upon the value of what they
presented to him. a more thorough
ly informed man as to taxation viewed
from the standpoint OF protection
never addessed the house of represent
atives when tariff revision was in
hand
And then his task was clearly de-
fined. There was no doubt about what
the victory OF 1896 demanded g to
the tariff. Protection, broadly con-
sidered. had been decried at the polls.
and Mr. Dingley had but to bear the
instructions In mind. He did so. and
drew and passed tariff bill which
another tariff expert sitting in the
White House was glad to sign. Mr..
Mckinley and Mr.. Dingley were in
frequent consultation while the re.
vision was in progress, and agreed
upon all the leading features.
There can be no two opinions about
the value OF trade figures collected
by competent men at such a time
TOT such purpose. Congress should
be as we'll informed as possible when
dealing with question which touches
Mt every important business point.
But, at last, the matter to be chiefly
considered is the ability Of those
receiving the figures to appraise their
value and know how to apply them.
1t is an enormous job to go over the
schedules of tariff law. and with or
without full data rearrange duties i'm
way to remember with equal justice
both producers and consumers.

Department Of Agriculture

For years the American department
or agriculture has been rated as by
far the best of any nation. Under
Secretary Wilson the activities of this
department have assumed enormous
and most important proportions re-
sulting in immense advantages to the
rural classes in the way of sugges-
i've, experimental and statistical in.
formation; in fact, II is almost impos-
sible to briefly summarize the work
OF this great department of the gov
eminent in it's various bureaus. chief
OF which are that of animal industry
plant industry. soils, entomology. bio
logical survey, irrigation. public
roads. forest service. foods and drugs
and publication and statistical work
Most eminent experts are employed I'm
each department and with liberal an.
preparations by the government the
various services of the many bureaus
have been carried on successfully and
with advantage to our farmers that
have proved invaluable.
While the constantly increasing eff.
;iency Of this department would not
admit Of saving in expenditures. vet
comparatively the work has been car.
fled on under the present administra-
ion more economically than ever be
fore and is a tribute both to the gee
rotary and to the president under
whose directions the department has
SHOWN such progress and attainment.

TIME TO CONSIDER PURCHASE Of TREES
For Fall and Spring Panting-Vs the Nursery if Possible
Select Nursery Stock Carefully
Alderman. Professor Virginia University

The time is now at hand when the
fruit grower should consider the pur-
chase OF trees for his fall or spring
planting. The demand for trees has
become so great that the overworked
nurserymen from Maine to Oregon are
unable to furnish an adequate supply
in all varieties. Many of them have
already contracted for over half of
tier stock. II you are looking for
first class trees and are at all particu-
lar about getting the varieties ordered
1t would be advisable to arrange your
purchase as soon as possible
Visit the Nursery.
III you are buying good sized order
1t would pay to visit the nursery and
select the trees before they are dug.
Most nurserymen will allow pur-
chaser to go through their blocks and
marx the trees he wishes to buy In
TINS way one may secure the most Wig
orous and best shaped trees i'm the lot.
ana can be reasonably sure that they
VIII be true to name, for most of the
variety mixtures are made in the con
fusion OF the packing shed Insist that
your trees shall not be dug until the
leaves have nearly all fallen, for this
means that the buds are well ripened
and Chat the wood is hard and mature.
Mach has been spoken and written
about the ACCESSIBILITY OF buying trees
from nearby nurseries where condi-
tlonS are similar to those in your
orchard. While this is a factor that it
might be well to consider. it is of far
more importance to secure a good tree
with good root system There is
much evidence to show that it matters
little from what part of the country a
tree comes, provided it is healthy, Wig
orous and has not been injured in dig
ging or shipping.
YearIings or Two-Year-Olds.
With apples it is always an unset
tied question whether it is better to
buy straight whips one year old or
more expensive two-year-old trees on
which the main branches are already
started. The advantages in favor of
the smaller trees are, first, cheapness:
second, small root systems which will
require only n small hole at planting
time; third, the head may be formed
at any height to suit the growers
fancy; fourth, the root systems re-
ceive less injury in digging than do
those of larger trees. The advantages
of the two-year-olds are, first. trees
with we'll formed heads may be select

Postal Banks a SUCCESS

The postal savings banks are fully
meeting the expectations of those who
advocated them. So satisfactory are
the results Of those now in operation
that 1t has been decided to establish
one in every frst-class postofce in
the country.
This decision has ben reached after
test of the banks instituted in New
York. Chicago. Boston and St Louis.
The trial in these big cities has dem
onstrated the fact that the banks
were needed there.
In the first five days of their oper-
alton deposits amounting to more
than $4,000 were received AS was
anticipated. the majority of the de
positors were people OF foreign birth
who. on account of the many times
they have been swindled by persons
to whom they entrusted their money,
are distrustful OF state and national
banks. They have implicit faith. how
ever, in the government. And Il fol-
lows that g. great part of the money
they have now deposited has been in
hiding and out of circulation.
1t is safe to say that little effect Will
be felt by the state and national
banks through the withdrawal of de
posts by those who wish to put them
In postal banks. What there is will
be more than counter balanced in the
banking business by the new encour.
agement for making small savings,
