Of other prominent speakers will be

within the past twenty-fo months.
The individual drinking CUP and sani-.

From present Indications. tho fruit
crop throughout this country this year
Will be good one. Cool weather DUR
ing March has kept back the buds,
and only peach blossoms. which are
wide open, would suffer from an early
frost. Apple trees are In excellent con-
dttion, indicating good fruit year.
Extensive apple orchards which were
planted in this section last fall are
now budding leaves. One orchard
owner recently stated that OF his or
chard CT 1000 trees planted last fall,
not a single tree had died during the
winter.
The floods OF last week In the James
River Valley, while extensive, have
been found to have done but little
damage throughout this section. Some
grass land was covered, and hay con-
sequently destroyed, but in most in
stances the deposit left upon the lower
lands Will eventually result In untold
good in the way of fertilzing the land.
Farmers hereabouts claim that floods
from beyond the mountains. as this one
was. always improve the lands In this
section by depositing quantities of
lime.
Corn liz becoming scarce and high
throughout this section, little being on
the market, and that selling at so cents
n bushel. Farmers are making prepar-
alton for the usual crop of tobacco.
some wishing to make one more test
OF the prices before abandoning the
raising of the weed altogether.
