In summing up the seasons bust
ness we consider that the growers
who produced crop of fruit the past
year should consider themselves very
fortunate.
1t is regrettable that the crop was
not more general and that the ia
vorable outlook during the spring
and early summer for a general crop
could not have materialiZed. Also
there is deep regret expressed for
those who have suffered losses on
account of the unruly elements. The
wind and the hail got in their work
rather effectively and many a hope
of substantial profits was blighted.
The ever present enemies OF high
grade fruit, the codling moth and
twig borer, were very much in evil
dence and proved extremely difficult
to conquer. However, when we con-
slider that the growers in this local
ity do not have to fight a variety of
fungus diseases, which are even
harder to control, and almost inn
possible to eradicate. we do not be-
lieve that anyone should become dis
couraged.
Some growers were very success
full in their efforts to control these
pests, while many others became
thoroughly discouraged and gave up
the fight. We are now endeavoring
to secure expert information as to
how these pests may be more eff
fectually combatted and trust that
we may be able to render material
assistance and the next seasons re-
suits may be more satisfactory. We
have discovered one thing this past
year, that is that a great many grow
ers are relying entirely upon their
spray to eradicate the codling moth.
We are convinced that a great deal
of money and energy is absolutely
wasted when no attention is paid by
the growers to the elimination of the
codling moth, except with spray ma
chine. Those growers who carefully
scrape the trunks of the trees and
run their bands properly and con-
tinuously. have the battle half won
before the spraying season. tever
starts. If the orchard Is alive with
codling moth which have come
through the winter there is no spray
ing sufficiently effective to secure the
desired results. We are thoroughly
convinced that if more effort was
made by the growers to keep the
worms out OF their orchards during
the winter and spring months that
the codling moth problem would
cease to be very serious. In fact the
majority of the growers who made a
success of the spraying business the
past year have informed me that the
reason for their success was not
The daily sentinel., 1914-02-19

alone in the spray applied, but to the
fact that they started in the season
with very few worms in evidence on
their premises.
The above statements will no
doubt impress a good many that the
game of fruit growing is not such a
bed of roses as it has been pictured,
and that the successful orchardist is
Obliged to work, fight and study, and
on account of the general erroneous
impression which has been instilled
into the mind of the average lay
man, to the contrary. may prove
detrimental in securing new blood
for this profession. We do not be-
lieve so, we never yet have discovered
that truth was detrimental. The
successful orchardist does have to
work, he has to fight and he must
possess a set of brains which are
capable of working over time.
No business or community is with
out its drawback and its failures and
its nerve-racking problems. If any
such could be located that particular
business or community would be so
overcrowded that existence would be
impossible. No Utopia has been dis
covered yet, but a near Utopia" is
being gradually but surely developed
right here in the Grand Valley and
the successful horticulturist will be
responsible for its creation.
So | say we have sbeen favored,
many Obstacles have been overcome,
many problems solved. and with a
continued concentrated effort and
loyalty to this community and the or
ganization which you have developed
and which belongs to you and which
exists entirely for the benefits of the
growers of this valley, your conf
dence in the futuer of this locality
will not have been misplaced.
Fruit growing in the Grand valley
is profitable and will continue to be.
1t is true that not every orchard is
profitable and some losses will neces-
sarily obtain each year on account of
the recent erroneous belief that all
land in this valley was fruit land,
without regard to location, soil or
drainage. Such land as is now occu-
pied by Improbable orchards must
be cleared and other crops substi-
tuted and the sooner this is done the
sooner the general conditions will be
improved.
We had every reason this past
season to expect better results for

Items From Washington.

Our Washington correspondent writes
us as follows: Two matters OF special
interest in West Virginia have come up
in Washington in the last week. One is
the opinion OF the Supreme Court in the
State debt case and the other is the mat
ter of the impeachment of Judge Aston
G. Dayton, of the northern district OF
West Virginia. Two views are had Of
the debt decision. Some are pleased
that West Virginia won its contention
that il should be allowed 10 present the
alleged credits which it claims, and others
feel that the language OF the opinion IS
such as to make it apparent that West
Virginia has lost the suit, but that the
court wants to prevent the State from
saying at any time in the future that II
was not given every opportunity to pre-
sent its Claims. The case was again re-
ferred to Charles E. Littlefield as special
master, to ascertain what weight should
be given to the claims Of West Virginia
for credits, all of which Virginia claims
have been already passed upon. Inc
investigation is to be made by Mr.. Little
field so that report may be made by
him not later than the second Monday in
October next. The court stated in its
opinion that the amount OF the principal
debt owed 10 Virginia by West Virginia
has been fixed by it, and that the con-
sideration of the credits claimed is to
see whether any OF them should be al
lowed, thereby reducing the amount al
ready found TO be due. The question OF
interest on the principal found to be due
has not yet been determined.
The impeachment charges against Judge
Dayton embrace various kinds OF alleged
judicial misconduct and are backed up
by sworn statements and charges made
by Sam B. Montgomery, former State
Senator, and Albert M. Belcher. former
member of the West Virginia House OF
Delegates. Chairman Webb, OF the House
judiciary committee, will appoint a sub
committee al once TO investigat the charges
and report TO the full committee. The
subcommittee will 20 to West Virginia
10 hear the charges, as it will be more
convenient and more economical TO 90
to the Witnesses rather than have the
witnesses come 10 the committee. Judge
Dayton has reply 10 make TO the charges
and will fight the impeachment.
