Editor The Star I wish TO
reply 10 a letter printed in The
Star signed Il. r. Elliott In re-
gard 20 the so-called big SIX"
The big Six" as he has called
II. rightly known as the Pro
ducc Distributors Company" is
doing business In the old way.
Their mode of business Is not
affecting the potato market In
the least. for the reason that
under the conditions existing
here now the leading commits
sion houses are handling very
few potatoes indeed.
This is brought about by sew
cral reasons. one OF which Is
the effort OF the producer 20
place potatoes direct with the
consumer. or at least direct to
the retail merchants. The
whole notion OF the producer
going direct to the consumer is
TO blame more than anything
else for the present democrat
ICED condition of the potato
market.
This no doubt will sound
strange To him. but u Is one OF
those facts In trade that can be
demonstrated. In past seasons,
passing through the hands of
the commission merchants and
the potato brokers. there was
some stability to the market.
There vas some effort put
forth by those who had inter
est to hold back receipts. I'm
der existing conditions. those
who are experienced in potato
business are not consulted. The
market IL simply thrown open
aud the potatoes are shipped.

CUT CEDAR TREES
This Must be Done II the Orchards
are to Receive Pro
lection.

Last year the apple growers OF the
great Shenandoah Valley region OF Old
Virginia and West Virginia lost fully
three hundred thousand dollars
through damage done by the fungous
disease known as cedar rust This
disease destroys the color and sur
face appearances OF the apples and
materially reduces the size Of the
fruit. A peculiarly OF this fungous
growth Is tho fact that II requires two
hosts or mediums upon which to com
piete its life cycle. 1t must develop
FIRST upon the red cedar. Here 1t is
common sight and Is ordinarily
known as the cedar apple. From these
the spores are carried 10 nearby ap.
pie trees and there develop the rust.
The growers OF this great shenan.
doah section, which by the way is de
stined TO rival In the very near future
the famed western Hood River" reg
ion. tried the usual fungicide sprays
such as bordeaux lime-sulphur, etc.
but without any great degree OF sue
cess. After seeing several crops more
or less completely destroyed they I'M
ally sent out the edlct. Since the red
cedar harbors the rust spores, obvious
Is the red cedar must be destroyed"
This was fayorably received BY the
large growers but opposition was en-
countered among tine non growers and
the ultra-conseryatiyes OF the country
side. Since nothing less than com
plete humiliation OF all red cedar
trees within three foarths OF mile
Of all orchards would suffice, the case
seemed hopeless.
Then the agricultural experiment
station OF West Virginia came to the
rescue and by the aid OF a friendly
legislature had Crop Pest Commits
sion created. This commission has
power to compel the cutting of all red
cedars within one mile OF a CONNER
cial orchard Now. under the direc-
ton OF experts from the experiment
station many thousands Of red cedar
trees are falling before the axe. When
this work is completed, as IL will be
without delay. one OF the finest apple
regions of the world viii be perman-
entity freed of one Of the most serious
menaces to the production OF perfect
fruit.
