BIG APPLE CROP.
Prospects in Virginia are for al
Abundant Yield-Will be Late.

Charlottesville, Va, June 5.-Mr.
Walter Whately, of .Crozet, this
county, secretary Of the Virginia
State horticultural Society, has
just made public his first report on
conditions and prospects for the Vir-
GINA fruit crop. He says in part
Owing to the lateness of the spring,
all fruit crops are later than usual
this year, both in Virginia and other
States. The general prospect is for
a large apple crop, both in Virginia
and the other principal apple pro-
ducing States, and also in Canada.
Peaches are reported to have suf-
fered very severity north of Virginia,
but here and south of us. there is
a good crop. The pippin crop is gen.
orally much lighter than last year,
except where trees did not bear
much.
A heavy drop of some varieties is
reported as now in progress in some
localities heard from and this may
quite possibly be general. However,
many reports say trees are so heav-
lily loaded that thinning will be nee
essary unless considerable number
drop off.

Fiscal Court, Attention.

The work that is about completed in
the court auditorium was very neces-
sary, and the Magistrates of the coun.
ty acted wisely in ordering it done,
but there is some other improvements
yet to be ordered that is still more
necessary. The building needs a new
roof, as the old one now leaks very bad
ly. Last Monday week during the
heavy rain storm, water came through
to the floor, in barrels. The old plas.
tering should also be knocked off and
replaced with metal ceiling. The
courthouse cost this county about
$33, 900 and it should be protected. 1t
will cost less at this time to put it in
good condition than it would by wait
ing for later date. We hope the
Fiscal Court will act at the October
term, ordering the necessary work
done.
