BEES AND FRUIT.

There seems to be a greater de-
mand for bees In fruit orchards than
ever before. and q great deal of dis
cussion as to the number OF bees
necessary to pollinize q given number
of trees. But after making allowance
for cold and cloudy weather. it Ia gen.
orally conceded that the more bees
the better.
One colony Of bees to each twenty
five trees is enough while the trees
are small. and" more bees after the
trees get larger. Spraying with Paris
green or arsenic during the blossom
ing seaso is very dangerous to
bees, but il the spraying is done ut

Major Anderson points to the

subdivision of the State to decide
the licensing question for itself
as the law best fitted to deal with
the problem. 1t is easy to operate,
and once local prohibition or local

transportation Methods Of Old Days
Yet Employed by Majority Of
Mankind.

The history Of highway Transports
ton since the days of the Roman en-
pire exhibits few phases and great
turning points which have marked
new eras In progress, in efficiency, in
conveniences or economy. Historians
OF transportation tell US that mans
first land vehicle was boatlike struc.
ture without wheels, which was pulled
by sheer brute strength. first by man
and then BY animals which he sub
jugated, the OK. horse and mule. The
next step in land transportation was
by means of crude rollers, which were
clipped underneath the vehicle very
much on the order of the rollers which
we see in use in moving small build
ings short distances.
When the revolving wheel was ap-
piled to vehicles great impetus was
given to highway transportation and
for 1000 years at least, until very re-
Gently. highway transportation saw

says the Engineering Magazine.
II we carefully compare the methods
of highway transportation in the days
of the Roman empire and the year
1912 we find that the greater percen-
tage of the world is still using the
horse and wagon very much after the
fashion of the Romans; we see no
great evolution in highway transpor-
tation parelleling the wonderful ad-
vance that has been made in power

The development of this efficiency

ACT FRAUGHT WITH HARM.

Major Anderson expresses his
deep regret that good men and
women are to be found supporting
a measure fraught with such harm
for the State and its institutions.
The real issue of the campaign,
he points out. is not one between
temperance and intemperance, but
between Statewide prohibition
and local option, or local prohibi-
ton. as rival methods of dealing
with the abuse of liquor. He con
tlnues:
Extreme as are the provisions
of the enactment now to be sub
mitted for the judgment of the
people, that act does not make the
use of alcoholic liquors a crime.
nor does it condemn such use
Indeed, it recognizes the propriety
of both their use and their manu-
facture and sale in the cases of
wines and malt liquors and cider
under certain conditions-condi-
items which necessarily admit the
principle that such manufacture
and use may sometimes be proper.

These two paragraphs from an

These two paragraphs from an
open letter to the people of Vir-
giinia by William A. Anderson, of
Lexington, soldier, lawyer, legls-
lator. and formerly Attorney-Gen-
eral Of Virginia, strike the key
note of one of the most convinc-
ing indictments of the proposed
State wide prohibition law that
the present campaign has de-
veloped.
Major Anderson's attachment to
Virginia and her institutions
dates back through a distingu
ished line of ancestors to the mid
die of the eighteenth century. His
father, Francis I. Anderson, was
a Judge of the State Supreme
Court of Appeals.
For eighteen years Major An
derson was member of the State
Central, and for six years of the
State Executive Committee of the
Democratic party. He has served
in both houses of the State Legis-
lature, and was member of the
Constitutional Convention of 1901,
serving as chairman of the COM
mittee on the final revision of the
Constitution. In 1878 he was sent
to France as one of the United
States commissioners to the Paris
Exposition. AS a soldier he bears
to-day the scars of wounds re
ceived by him at Manassas.
Coming, as it does, from one of
Firginia's greatest lawyers, the
arraignment is most significant. 1t
