industry. Experiments now under
way indicate that 1t is possible to
root upshoots much more rapidly un-
der greenhouse conditions where they
can be given bottom heat than by the
old world method of procedure. 1t
Ia believed that by this method much
smaller upshoots can be rooted. 1t
has also been found that when grown
in the cool. moist climate Of the Pa
cific coast. in immediate proximity to
the ocean, certain varieties of the
date palm fruit scarcely at all, but
produce instead very great numbers
OF ohshoots and continue to produce
them through a much longer period

New Hybrid Substitute for the Lime.
A new hybrid, q substitute for the
lime. fruited for the first time during
the year. This is the limequat, OBJ
tained by crossing the West Indian
lime with the kumquat. 1t has proved
to be not only very prococious but
also exceedingly fruitful and hardy. 1t
bears very acid fruit. much like the
West Indian lime in size and flavor.
The tree, however, is much harder
than the lime, having withstood the
past three winters in extreme north
ern Florida where the lime can not
be grown.
Tobacco Investigations.
1t has been found that a rotation
In which special fertilizers are applied
Is CT great importance in maintaining
the character and burning qualities of
the product. Investigations are made
during the year in the Connecticut
Valley, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Kentucky, Tennessee, Maryland, Vir-
ginia and the Carolinas. In the last
four states the most important prob
lem Is the restoration Of the much de.
pleted supply Of vegetable matter in
tobacco soils through the use of cover
crops. which do not increase the
nitrogen supply.

shot at and arrested by Chief of Po-
lice Oppenberger of that place re-
Gently, according to New Brunswick
newspaper. The dummies, when not

figures in the darkness he called upon
them repeatedly to surrender. Re-
ceiving no answer he blazed away
at them several times before he dis

DROUGHT
In This and Other States is
Not General throughout
the Country.

The present drought recalls the in
teresting fact that there was no rain
fall within the catchment area OF the
West Fork river from July to De-
cember 25, 1908. In order to ascer-
tain whether the present dry spell in
West Virginia was general the local
water works and sewerage board COM
municated with the United States
weather bureau resulting in the fol-
lowing information:
Clarksburg Water Works and Sewer
age Board,
Clarksburg, W. Va.
Gentlemen:
In reply to your request of the 18th,
instant, beg leave to say that the
present drought in West Virginia Is
not general throughout the country,
but at the same time it covers the
Ohio valley, West Virginia, Virginia,
Maryland, and portions of North Caro-
lima and Georgia. There have, how
ever, been good rains In the two latter
states during the last thirty-six hours.
The drought appears to be most Sc
we're in Maryland, Virginia and West
Virginia, and regret to say that there
does not appear to be any prospect Of
substantial relief In the very near flu
ture. Showers are probable tonight
or tomorrow, but showers only, not
good rains.
Our present knowledge of meteor
ology will not permit forecast for
more than few days in advance, and
! am therefore unable to say when a
decided change will come.
Very truly yours,
H. c. FRANKENFIELD,
Professor of Meteorology.
