FRUIT WAS LARGE.
Although 1912 Apple Crop Was Not
Large Most Varieties Were Well
Developed.

One point worthy OF mention in re
gard to the 1912 apple crop was the
unusually large size OF the fruit Of
certain varieties. Twenty-ounce APP
pies that exceeded, the weight which
gave the variety its name were not I'm
common. and many Baldwins were so
oyergrown that it would puzzle an ex-
pert TO classify them il he did not
know that they grew on Baldwin
trees The latter part of the season
was highly favorable to the develop
ment of the late winter fruit. Nova
Scotia apple growers have organized
a cooperative fruit packing and mar
keting association which viii handle
upward of 100000 barrels of the past
years crop. 1t is now up to the or
chardsts in the eastern part Of the
United States to fall in line and do
their share toward the development
Of systematic arrangement for dis
posing of the enormous apple crops

RETIRE OR RESIGN?
That Is the Question Which Is Aoi-
tating the Minds of Many West
Vireinians At This Time.

WASHINGTON. D. G., April g.
There has been some discussion in
Washington as to whether Judge Ma
than Goff would resign or retire from
the federal bench to become senator
from West Virginia. At the time this
was written there had been no indl-
cation of his Intention in the matter
Il is pointed ont that Judge Goff has
passed the retirement age and could
voluntarily retire from the bench on
full pay, which is $1,000 year. There
is a question whether he could draw
his salary as retired judge and at the
same time draw the $1,000 salary of
a senator There are provisions of
law which prevent a man from draw
ing two salaries from the United
States in certain cases, but there is
& difference of opinion as to whether
this would apply in the case OF a re-
tired judge who might become a sen
ator afterward. 1t has been expect
ed that Judge Golf would resign from
the bench to become senator, but IL
he should retire on account of age in
stead of resigning it might be pos
sible that he would continue to draw
his full salary as judge and also the
salary OF senator making total of
S14,500 which would be coming to
him from the Government under
those conditions. His action in the
matter will be watched with interest
by West, virginians generally, many
Of whom are anxious to know whether
he viii resign or retire.

WASHINGTON, d. C., April 3

eedent which has obtained for more
than hundred years when he went

representatives and in person deliver
ed his message TO the members of
congress who were assembled in joint
session,
Every available seat in the place
was occupied and the galleries were
crowded beyond their capacity with

nations lawmakers and tell them Just
what he had in mind with reference to
the special session which he had call
ed
Every member of the two bodies
was present and every member of
the cabinet with tha exception of Sec
retaries Bryan and Redheld- The

President finished reading his mes
sage at eight minutes after one and

tial messages ever read before the
congress. President Wilson plled
upon the legislators to make good the
promises of the Democratic party and
devote the extraordinary session OF
congress. which convened yesterday,
TO the revision of the tariff.
President Wilson's message was
only about POO words in length and

"abolish everything that bears even
the semblance of privilege or Of any
kind Of artificial advantage This
revision, said the President, was nee
essary to meet the promises Of the
party and the altered conditions OF
economic life which the country has
Witnessed during the past generation.
The President made it plainly ev-
ident that he wished to have the tar
if revised before the legislators took
up any of the other reforms advocated
by the Democratic party He intima-
ted. however, that the reform banking
and currency laws might be taken mp
al the special session. were the tariff
