These ores are especially valuable,
not only on account OF their nearness
to the great Pittsburgh iron and steel

the number OF trees per acre. In the
hexangonal system, preferred by some,
each tree forms the angle Of triangle,
each side Of which is equal to the dis.

allows for the planting Of Is per. cent
more trees to the acre than the square
system, with the same distance be,
tween the trees in each case. ],
In the contour system, which Is, well
adapted to hillside planting, the trees
are planted In plowed strips which fol-
low the contour OF the hill as nearly as
possible on the same level and each
tree in one row is placed opposite the
space between each two trees OF the
adjacent rows. This system allows the
trees 10 be cultivated with a minimum;
danger OF washing the soil.
Orchards often fail to produce the
crops they should because the trees
were planted too closely. Thirty feet
should be the minimum distance be-
tween apple trees, and this should be
increased to forty feet on strong land
or with the large.growing varieties.
Pears, plnmsi and cherries should have
twenty feet each way. Peaches are
planted at eighteen or2tweniys feet
apart. nd. ,,..
The age OF trees to plant. is an un.
settled question. The small tree is
cheaper, has smaller root system to be
injured in digging, and also requires a
smaller hole for planting, and the head

Few realize that 50 per Cent cent Of
the value OF them neral production OF
West Virginia is represented by its
fuel output-coal, petroleum and nat.
ural gas. Yet fully so per cent. OF all
of these fuels, OF inestlmable value,
is consumed outside the State. On
the Other hand, the. production OF
Illinois is consumed principally in the
manufacturing and transportation In.
dustries Of that State or In immedi.
ately adjacent territory. West Vir-
e'nia. which ranks second in coal pro.
dncrloA, stands 34th among sthe States
In the Halus of Its manufactured prod.
ucts. Some OF its valuable timber Is
shipped to Grand Rapids, Mich, and
the manufactured turniture shipped
back into west Virginia. The trans,
portatloh companies trayerslaag West
Virginia appear 70 be more interest
ed in securing the heavy coal traffic,
from It than IN building up maRuufsccI
turing industries in the State. Most
OF the coal consumed within West
Virginia Is by the locomotives carry
Ing coal to the support of manufac-
lures in othsF States
This is rather strong a,Talgnment
OF thei Industrial policy of the rail
roads and the people OF West vir-
ginia. 1t is, In part, justified, but
probably not wholly so. The enor.
nous coal wealth OF West Virginia
has made 1t possible for the capital
and energy OF that tSate to find en-
ployment in coal production more
easily than In manufactures, and as
all industrial operations generally
start with the, lowest form OF output,

In tlleosame way. The primary devel-

in the thing that could most easilYl

1t Is true that the railroads OF West
Virginia have to u large extent been
remiss in not taking an active part in

NEW YORK, Dec 27-ln face of firm
cables the cotton market opened barely
steady today with first prices showing if-
regularity, ranging from 1 to I points
higher to / to 6 points decline from the
closing quotations of TUESDAY Trading
At the outset was somewhat mixed. The
ring crowd inclined to liquidate, also COM
mission houses sold. However, the buying
was rather general and prices during the
Hrst nfteen minutes were held about the
initial figures.
After the call the market became inact-
I'VE and prices receded 2 to 8 points on
near months from the opening. The larger
spot interests were good buyers There was
an absence of any bulliSh news regarding
,lnue their aggressiveness, asserting that
the long side is the safest.
The showing was somewhat of d sur

hected heavy selling movement by a num-
Der of Wall Street and uptown houses.
Ihere was very little support from bull

During the late forenoon trading. the
market was dull and featureless, with
scattered buying and selling predominant

the principal buyers on the decline, which
caused the steadiness, checking a fur

character during the entire day with a
narrow range in prices. 1t is not ex-
pected there viii be any material changes
In prices until after the lrSt of the year.
nc DdlhoLI situation is causing cOnSlQ-
cradle uneasiness among traders, and the
most conservative operators are advising
caution in trading; also the next census

argument is that this report will show a
material decline in ginnings for the pc
riod, and until this report is out of
