When we hear fruit production men
toned our minds turn to the Great
Northwest where such sections as the
Bitter Root Valley of Montana, the
Hood River section OF Oregon, and the
Wenatchu Valley of Washington have
become famous throughout the coun-
try. let us consider briefly how our
own state compares with the north
west. The area of West Virginia Is
contained in the area of Washington;
rs times; Idaho, S.5 times; Oregon
3.9 times, and Montana times. From
these figures we see that West var
ginia is very small comparatively IN
area.
In looking through the 1910 census
We find that she has more bearing
trees than the combined number grow
Ing in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming
and Colorado. AS many as the state
of Washington and twice the num-
Der in Oregon. Another interesting
fact is that the average value OF the
1909 crop ip the United States per
tree was So cents, while for the state
OF West Virginia each tree produced
81 cents worth of apples. During the
last decade 100000 apples and 1,OOO,-
coo peach trees, besides plums, pears,
cherries and ounces, were planted.
The climate, soil and elevation make
fruit production naturally adapted to
our mountain state. The geographical
position gives US strategic position for
fruit production. An examination OF
q good railroad map of that section OF
the United States east of the Rockies,
reveals the market possibilities for
fruit growing. Three trunk lines pass
Ing east and west through the state
open ND the markets of Boston, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and
Washington on the east, and st. Louis,
Cincinnati and Chicago on the west.
other line running north and south
through the state give still wider pos
sibilities. These lines carry our fruit
to Pittsburg, Cleveland, Buffalo and
the North, to Atlanta, Chattanooga
and New Orleans on the south. Any
of these centers may be reached day
or two quicker than they can from
the northwest while some Of them
could receive fruit from West Virginia
and have a week to eat it before fruit
shipped from Washington or Oregon
to the same place could arrive.
Any one remembering the apples OF
last year knows that there is no Sec
ton in the country which produces
more highly colored or better apples
than the hill tops and hill sides of
West Virginia. Last year Is plates of
apples were sent to an apple show at

HOW TO BUY NURSERY STOCK

their blocks and select the trees
he desires to buy. This is a dis
tinct advantage as it allows one to
secure not only the most vigorous but
the best formed trees as we'll. One
can afford to pay one-third more for a
personally selected order than for one
taken from the nursery packing shed.
Insist that the trees be allowed to
stand in the nursery row until the
leaves have fallen in order to insure
the wood and buds being in well
ripened condition.
Yearlines or Two-Year-OIds,
With apples it Is always an unset.
tied question whether it is better to
buy straight whips one year old or
more expensive twoyear-old trees on
which the main branches are already
started. The advantages in favor Of
the smaller trees are: first, cheapness,
second, small root systems which will
require only a small hole at planting
time, third, the head may be formed
at any height to suit the growers
fancy; fourth, the root systems re.
ceive less injury in digging than do
those of larger trees. The advantages
Of the two-year-olds are: first, trees
with well formed heads may be Sc.
lected thereby insuring uniform and
symmetrical orchard trees; second,
they will probably reach bearing size
year sooner than a e-year-old tree;
third, it is easier TO detect crown gall
or hairy root upon them than upon
yearlings. Between first class trees
of both ages the two-year-olds are the
most desirable. Never buy three or
four-year-old trees because these are
the culls of previous years which are
so weak and small that they had to
be grown the extra season or two in
order to bring them to a marketable
size. w. H. ALDERMAN

Don't Let Baby Suffer With Eczema
And Skin Eruptions.

Babies need perfect skin-covering.
Skin eruptions cause them not only in

DR.. HobSon's Eczema Ointment Can be
relied on for relief and permanent cure of
suffering babies whose skin eruptious
have made their life miserable. "Our
baby was afflicted with breaking out of
the skin all over the face and scalp.
Doctors and skin specialists tailed to
help. We tried DR.. Hobson's Eczema
