cord1ng to Mr.. Walter Whately, secretary Of
the Virginia State Horticultural society, it has
been but fifteen years since commercial apple
growing has become common In Virginia. Now
there are commercial orchards extending from
Winchester to Bristol. and the apple crop Is
becoming one of Nirginta's staple crops. The
bulk Of these apples shipped to Liverpool,
London, Hamburg and other big European
ports This year the farmers will receive about
SO n barrel for export apples
This years crop" says Mr., Whately, sis
far below the normal one. IT will be only about
thirty-nin per cent of the average and through
out the United States the crops average only
about fiffy-two per cent OF normal. This Is a
great falling off from last year, when the apple

Milltancy Kills It's Cause.

THAT militancy in England has made impos-
sihle the passage of a womans franchise bill ny
the British parliament by consent of n ma
iority of the male voters Of the British isles Is
the opinion OF every rational man In England, as
we'll as OF David IloydGeorge. The crazed acts
Of small class Of women have turned the voters
generally against votes for women, and every
outrage committed makes this sentiment more
pronounced and more bitter. That parliament
and the British people could be hrowheaten or
cowed by riot and property destruction INTO
complying with the demands Of the sutfragettes
no man who knows anything of British char
acter would believe for a moment--Newark

We are reminded that to increase the salary
Of governor of the State 1t would require a con-
stitutional amendment, the organic law stipulat.
ing specifically, what compensation this off,
cial shall receive Our argument of yesterday in
favor OF increase In the salary holds good
however. in all respects-except that the incom-
ing governor could not receive the benefit of the
change This is all the more reason why the
ond legislature would have to act before the
amendment would go to the people 1t should
not be delayed any further than what is required
by the tedious procedure
