The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1911-03-11

You will understand why Virginia
has successfully passed through the
experimental stages and developer
into a full fedged apple producing
State by getting firmly fixed In your
mind the four essential conditions for
profitable apple growing namely:
climate, elevation, soil and transpor-
tation.
The apple tree grows and fruits
best in a modified climate with am
PIE rainfall. Snow and Ice do no
damage In Virginia and the best
fruits are grown in sections where
winter temperatures drop down near
zero. A dry air lis necessary. as
dampness brings fungus diseases
that cloud the fruit. Apple trees
bloom from April 18th to May 9Th
and climatic conditions in January
to April that retard the bloom are
an advantage TO the grower and in
sure against injury from late frosts.
Elevation, both above sea level
and above the land surrounding the
orchard, are of vital importance as
every orchard requires drainage, ana
both air and water to insure free
dom from frost pockets and wet
feet" Fancy apples are to-day pro-
ftably grown in Virginia on eleva-
lions from 500 to $500 feet above
sea level, no one elevation is the
best but certain varieties. such as
the Albermarle or Newtown Pfppin
are grown ON the higher attitudes.
Soil Ia more variable than any
other condition. The apple tree re-
auires certain soil contents that can
be readily supplied such AZ nitrogen
that Is obtained by planting clovers,
peas and other legumes. Apple soil
should contain humus. should con-
serve moisture. be easy to work,
drain well. and have no large rock
on surface to prevent clean Guilt

spects the most Important eentribu-
tor to profits to the grower. The
apples requires quick movement from
orchard to cold storage to insure best
keeping condition. Virginia has in
her apple growing section FIVE rail
roads running in all directions and
connecting with the principal apple
markets of the world. two OF these
railroads have terminals at sea-
ports. two run direct to New York,
Philadelphia and the ether largo
eastern city markets.. two run di-
rect to Cincinnati. Chicago and st.
Louis. 1t viii thus be plainly seen
that the freight rates are competi-
tive which means the certain pro-

HALLOWEEN REvELs.

The movement for safe and
sane Fourth of July should include
decent Halloween. From every
section of the country come stories
of wild excuses, loss of life be
ing coupled with the wanton de-
struction of property. In Hopkins
Vile one man killed two other men,
one of them his own brother, in a
drunken revel. In Cincinnati and
Louisville the police were defied by
drunken toughs who, taking adyant-
age of the occasion, committed the
grossest excuses. In Huntington
some wretch threw chair through
big plate glass window in the
residence of a prominent citizen
Much mischief was done here, not
one of the many things done having
the smallest tinge of humor. What
fun could there possibly be fai

psYoH0noGY OF PROFANITY


DR.. w. S. Hoy, of Wellston, at
tended a meeting of railroad sur
geons recently and in the course OF
discussion, made this remark:
"A mans subconscious mentality
may draw upon the storehouse oil
his memory and enable him to use
profane language while he cannon
express an idea aloud"
And then he told of an oper-
alton on the skull he had witness
ed that day where the patient coulo
swear but could not tell what he
was thinking about, So the psychol
ogy of profanity is that it takes the
place of thinking and an oath de
notes a lack of ideas; all of which
confirms the truth of the remark
concerning the old sailor that nc
didn't know what to say and so ne
swore." But DR.. Hoy's Observation
is interesting, that profanity comes
instead of an idea and that
man needn't have any sense &c
swear

An Object Lesson for the Illitcrate

The News has learned of the
work of an aged woman in Rowan
county which should bring a blush
of shame to the cheek of every
young man and young woman In
this or any other county who is UNI
able to write his or her name.This
old woman, through neglect on part
of her parents, or possibly because
of lack of opportunity when she
was young. could neither read nor
write but she wanted to learn be-
fore she died, SO she started to
school as a pupil and in two weeks
learned to write legible hand and
wrote letter to some friends
And she was SO years old when she
wrote It! What rebuke this
should be to the ''pany young men
who, in these days v free schools

MANUFACTURE OF
LUMBER IS OFF
Lumber curtailment over The South
west of Voluntary Nature Due To
Heavy Rains In Sections.

Houston, Ten, Nay 15.-Through
the Southwest there is apparent a
Of lumber production. The
cause of lesseping of operations is
both voluntary and involuntary, but it
is believed by the latter part of May
full resumption over the territory will
be general.
During March and part of April the
manufacturers cut more lumber than
they shipped and sold with the result
there is an accumulation of stock. In
consequence the manufacturers have
toned down their operations to bring
il in line with their sales. The result
! is several big Texas and Louisiana
mills are running less than their full
time and doing it voluntarily.
However at the present time invol-
untary curtailment is preventing more
| lumber making than is the curtailment
of a voluntary nature. The greatest
cause of the involuntary closing of the
saw-mills at the present moment is
that the forests of East Texas and
Southwest Louisiana are simply bog
holes of the worst description, due to
the recent heavy rains. These swamps
made it impossible for the gangs to
fell timber forcing some of the mills
to suspend operations because of the
lack of material.
Resumption, however, is starting
throughout the territory and it is
believed the end Of May will bring the
full working of the nights and day
shifts again.
