Express companies have been hard
hit by the operation Of the new parce
post system, and counsel for various
carrying corporations have been APP
pearng before the interstate commerce
commission in protest against the pro-
posed reduction in express rates. Iii
claimed that the reduction which the
commerce commissions wants would
be absolutely destructive to express
companies, which, it is claimed, have
suffered a loss approximating 25 per
cent in the small package business since
the establishment of the parcel post.
This loss amounts to about 6 per cent of
the gross revenues of the companies.
The public would feel more disposed to
be charitable toward the express COM
panies if memory of past dividends
could be effaced. Brattleboro Re.

as, $4,000. This total, however, IN
wolves considerable duplication, re-
sulting from the resale or slaughter
Of animals which had been purchased
by the farmers during the same year.
The value Of all the cattle Cnelud-
ing calves sold during 1909 repre-
scented about two-thirds of the total
value Of animals sold, and the value
Of horses sold represented about one
seventh of the total.
The census of 1909 called for the
receipts from the sale of all domestic
animals raised on the farms report
ing and the value Of those slaughtered,
during 1898, which amounted, respec-
lively to $685., 900 and $685., 900.
The item of sales is not closely com
parable with that for 1909, when the
inquiry covered all sales, whether Of
animals raised on the farms reporting
or elsewhere. 1t is believed; how
ever. that in many cases the returns
for 1899 also included receipts from
sales of animals not actually raised
on the farms reporting.
Crops.
The total value of crops in West
Virginia in 1909 was s4O,S75, 900. OF
this amount, eighty-two per cent was
contributed by crops for which the
acreage as well as the value was re-
ported, the remainder consisting Of
the value of by-products (straw, gar.
den and gras seeds, etc. derived
from the same land as other croys re
ported, or OF orchard fruits, nuts
forest products, and the like. TIL,
combined acreage of crops for which
acreage was reported was 1,ST4,38
representing 1873 per cent of the to
tai improved land in farms (5,521, rs
acres). Host of the remaining i'm
proved land doubtless consisted o
improved pasture, land lying fallow
house and farm yards, and land .oc
coupled by orchads and vineyards, tn
acreage for which was not reported
The general character of West vir
Eginia agriculture is indicated by tn
fact that about two-fifths 1896 pc

1909 was contributed by the cereals
about one-fifth (1s.6 per cent? by ha

24.5 per cent of the total, consiste

The value of crops in 1909 was 81.

Work was started to-day on the in

Main street up Berlin street as far as

will be extended farther along the street.
Although handicapped by the failure
OF concrete mixers to appear, the Daniel
0Connell & Co., contractors, are making
favorable progress in constructing the
new strip of pavement on North Main
street. Workmen in the employ of the
concern have been excayating on the
east side OF the street for two weeks
and have completed that part OF the
work almost to the Cleary store With
the assistance of supervising engineers
from the city engineering offices, almost
$50 feet of rail of the Barre and Mont
pelier Traction company has been laid.
These rails are supported on ties en-
bedded in six inches of concrete. While
the rails are being laid portions of the
track are left so that one is required to
walk considerable distance TO make car
connections. During the temporary alb
sence of the cement mixers it is neees-
sary for the workmen TO work the
cement by hand, thus hsmpering the
rapid progress Of the work. The mixers
are expected to be in place on the scene
of work by the first OF the week.
