OF apples should be bought.
There are many in the city OF Rich
mond, and thousands throughout the
State. who will buy barrel Of apples
on Tuesday. The genera buying OF
apples on this one day will 60 far
toward relieving the Virginia apple
grower, who has worked long and hard
that his orchards might be productive.
Now that they have produced war has
closed many markets and has caused
others to be depressed The apple
crop this year is fine and Is one that
will repay the grower for his effort. but
closed markets have made the crop a
problem on the growers hands.
A "buy-a- barrel move
ment. similar to the ''buy-a-baie"
movement which spread over the
country. going far toward relieving
the cotton situation. has been started
In Virginia. and the coming of ma
tionai apple day will give this new
movement a boost.
Everybody should buy barrel Of
apples and put it away for the winter
months Apples by the barrel can I've
found at the stores OF many OF the
Cary Street merchants and commission
men elsewhere. A national apple
day poster has recently been issued.
It reads as follows:
"For good health celebrate the day.
Get your share of good apples. Every
one In your family should eat an apple
this day.
"Huntiretis of thousands OF barrels
and boxes being distributed at special
low prices today throughout the coun-
try. Apples are fine this wear and
very cheap-take some home with
you and please your palate and your
stomach. Apples are recommended
by all physicians: eat them and be
healthy. Apples are one Of the most
economical fruits-buy them in quanti-

MARKED REVIVAL IN
RICHMOND INDUSTRY
ING EXPORTED IN VERY -'
LARGE QUANTITIES.

One of the interesting features of
the country's export trade forty CT
fifty years ago was the movement of,
-four manufactured in Richmond TO
South American countries, one expla-
nation Of 1t being that the wheat
raised in this part Of the country pro-
duced -four especially adapted to
ocean transportation. For some years.
however. there was decline In this
business consequent upon the rise Of
the big milling interests OF the North
west and the development of certain
fiscal policies IA South America. But
In more recent years there has been
revival to q marked degree Of this
Richmond industry, and now the Dun
lop, Gallego and Shockoe mills. OF
which Warner Moore & Co. are pro-
prietors. with a daily capacity Of 2,600
barrels OF -four, are now filling me
largest orders in their history of 116
years Their -four goes to many parts
Of the globe. even into the GASES Of
the desert OF Sahara. They have now
on the ocean 1900 barrels OF -four on
the way to Scotland. 1000 barrels on
tho way to London. In a total of 80, 900
barrels bound for Europe. and last
week the company closed the contract
for 10000 barrels more, 1t Is under
stood. with rhe French government.
In line with the movement for a
great use of cotton. the -four for these
shipments Is packed in cotton bags
instead OF In jute bags as heretofore,
and for the shipments mentioned were
required III 900 yards of cotton CLOTH
in the making of which 100 bales OF
cotton must be used. 1t is gratifying to
know of the steady growth of tIis
historic Richmond industry.

EDUCATION As AN
AID TO EFFICIENCY.
DR. EGGLESTON STRESSES NE.
CEssTTY FOR TRAINING TO
BE MADE PRACTICAL.

In his recent address before the
American Bankers Association. Presi-
dent j. ID. Eggleston, of the Virginia
Polytechnic Institute. stressed the ne
cessity of giving the young practical
education.
Faults of the Schools.
"Our public schools profess to cure
a condition and yet do not even dag
nose that condition" said Superin-
tendent Eggleston of the V. P. /.
"Our schools are the only manufac-
turing plants in the world that maze
practically no surveys OF their COM
munities before the erection OF the
plants"
Superintendent Eggieston was dis
cussing the need of fitting the educa-
ton of the child to life, OF educating
him to do his work in the world more
efficiently. Whatever II done In the
world, he said. whatever It may be, Is
best done by those trained to do II and
animated by a passion to do it better
than anyone else
Better pay for teachers and longer
school terms were advocated.
Mr.. Eggleston discussed farm Hem
onstration work in the South in detail.
concluding:
Thousands Of the boys and girls
about whom I am talking, and Ger
whom 1 plead. are the forgotten sons
and daughters Of the fathers and
mothers long since forgotten by shis
great Commonwealth. All they need
is q chance. We are trying to hold
out a helping hand to them.
IAN agricultural expert said to re
recently that no regarded the demon
stration work in the South as Joke,
and when asked him why he thought
so, he replied, Because you have somc
agents who are not scientific experts
Ny reply to him, and to all other
pharisees Of this typo 10 that the

that we should help him now with
