West Virginia Fruit Hard Hit.
On the Goth of April a cold
wave swept over the entire state
doing great damage to fruit in
some sections. Following are
some statements received by l..
F. Sutton, Secretary State Hor-
ticultural Society, concerning the
damage caused by the freezs of
that date:
Letart, May II, Apples. one
half crop, small fruits all killed.;
Grape Island. May 10; Apples
all killed except some close to
the river; Grafton, May IL,

Encourages Neighbors to Spray.
Mr.. G.. p. Waugh, an orchard
list Of Brooke county is so much
interested in having every fruit
tree in the county sprayed that
he offers to mix and furnish
spray materials for his neighbors
at cost and sometimes even less
than cost. He made up large
quantities this spring and even
lent his spraying apparatus, in
certain cases, as a further Undue
ment to spray. Needless to say,
the spraying spirit is strong in
this section and the San Jose
scale is finding itself gradually
pushed out. Cooperation and
encouragement of this kiud in
other sections would bring tabout
similar results.
Arabian Stations Sent to w. Va.
The National Horse Breeders
Association has shipped fifteen
Arabian Stations to West Vir-
ginia to be used for breeding
purposes, on a cooperative plan
somewhat similar to that offered
by the u. S. Government in con-
nection. with the Morgan and
Saddle stations sent to w. Va.
These animals are being as.
sembled at Lewisburg, Green,
brier county, and from there viii
be distributed over the bluegrass
counties of the state. One OF
more will no doubt be sent tC
the Experiment Station Farm.
The Thoroughbred horse
owes its fineness of finish large
ly to its Arabian blood and much
the same results can be obtained
by crossing the Arabian anC
some of the heavier breeds now
commonly found in the State
Many of the finest saddle horses
are the product of this kind oil
parentage.

TOBACCO SALES
VERY SATISFACTORY
Splendid Averages Attained
and Only Twelve Baskets
ia e Rejected.
SPIRITUOUs BIDDING.
Market Shows Unusu al
Strength and Prospects
Good For Future. 9

Three sales held at the warehouse
of the Bourbon Tobacco Warehouse
Co., in this city last week were the
most satisfactory of any held in Cen
trail Kentucky. A total of 273,040
pounds of tobacco were disposed of.
The offerings consisted mainly of the
lower grades of the weed, and con-
sidering this, the market showed un-
usual strength. - @ot ~
The third sale of the week was held
Saturday, when total of $155,540
pounds, were sold for total of $751;
502.72, or an average of $1254.
Omitting one crop of very poor to-
bacco, which aggregated 5,235 pounds
and which sold for $2,012,65, the gem
eral average of the house for this
sale would have reached $12S3. The
managers of the warehouses; however,
are not inclined to omit from their
reports any grade of tobacco that has
been sold and include every basket
in the average.
The quality of the tobacco sold on
the local market since the opening
of the season indicates that the Paris
sales are second to none in the State
in the matter of prices. obtained.
Growers who have made consign-'
ments to the warehouse have been
fully satisfied with the prices obtain
ed. although it is freely admitted that
in the majority of the cases the to-
bacco is of poor or medium quality,
little of the better class having been
offered to this date. Of the entire,
amount sold Saturday ouly twelve bas-
kets were rejected. u
Following are few of the crop av-
erages of the last sale:
Houston & Austin, $500 pounds for
81 1859; average, SLABS. .u s.
/ Kuster q Jenkins, 1900 pounds for
$4,000; average, SIG. u
J. R. DeJarnet, 2,270 pounds for

Ferguson & Bramble, $685. pounds
for SS13.96; average, $13.98.
Ward & Smith, $3.50 pounds for
$437.99; average, $3.50.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-Uncle Sam
has lost S30,610,3S1 during the last
sixteen years. This assertion was
made today by Secretary of the Treas
ury McAdoo in amplifying the reasons
which led to issuance Of his order re-
curing the national banks to pay in
terest on government deposits. He
said:
IF the national bank repositories If
the government had been required,
during the past sixteen years, to pay
interest on their average balances, at
the rate of two percent per annum,
the net revenue Of the government
would have been increased during
this period by the sum of $30,610,3S1.
1T appears that no interest was
paid by the banks on any government
funds whatsoever until the passage
of the Aldrich-Vreeland act in 1908.

copyright 1913, by the New York
Evening Post Col
NEW YORK, May by an odd
coincidence, all the great European
stock exchanges were closed for a
holiday today, when Europe itself
was confronted with distinct turn
for the better in the Montenegro con-
troversy. That fact left the New York
stock exchange the only place for re-
Fleeing such a change and the humor
of the situation-if so 1t may be regard
accumulated by the fact that pro-
fessional Wall street had for several
days been bearing the market on the
express ground that the Scutari Incl
dent must lead to general war.
This was position which neces-
sarily encouraged a rather rapid re-
treat Of SPECTATORS for the decline.
The covering process" was naturally
stimulated by two facts-one, that, in
foreign stock exchange holiday, no
one could know what the European
markets would have done today If
open; the other, that the days auth
entic news was of such nature as to
make probable an important over
night announcement by the ambas-
