THE MOST REMARKABLE
SEASON, AND WHY

The warehouse books show that a
fraction less than half AS much of tho
weed was marketed before Christmas
this year than in any year for the
past fifteen. all due to one of the most
remarkable seasons that ever came
down the pike.
In view of these facts. and the fur
thcr fact that the last days of the year
brought about Il right good stripping
season the warehousemcn arc looking
for large breaks after the Christmas
holidays. which holidays, so far as the
looselcnf tobacco business is concerned
will last until Monday. the 3rd of Jan
uary, OF the New Year. Monday will
ne a sales day. and it is probable that
4 good deal OF railroadcd stock will
be offered that day. ana il is the ppin-
ION OF tho warchouSc!nen that Tuesday
the ith. will find the warehouses we'll
crowd with waGoncd goods from all
of the good counties around about.
Altogether. there are all kinds of in
diCations that the leaf tobacco busi-
ness Will be mighty lively in Richmond
III tho months OF January. February
md March weather conditions being
favorable. They should be. for II has
been dull enough for the pas, two

, rcscntativcs and, In addition. shall have
recent experimental data regarding
fire blight. II is hoped that by calling
together the specialists who have had
large experience with this disease Il
that would not only appeal to fruit
! growers. but would control the disease
In commercial paintings One of the
suggested methods of eradicatin this
blight is by an educational campaign.
II is believed that not only fruit
growers. but every person that owns II
fruit tree. should become familiar with
the nature OF the disease and tho
methods of it's eradication. II is pro-
posed that this information shall be
given out by means OF printed posters
, which shall lie displayed at every cross
road. country store and post office. II
is even suggested that this Information
be sent TO ministers Of the gospel SO
that they may explain to their con-
Brcgntions it's seriousness. and also
emphasize the fact that any individual
by refusing to remove the Cankcrs
from his trees. might no; only lose his
own, but would also he responsible for
the loss of his neighbours trees.
DIFFERENCES OF OPINION
AMONG THE EXPERTS
There is considerable difference OF
/ opinion among fruit growers regarding
The practicnbility OF controlling the
irc-bltEht disease Some plant patholo-
gists even doubt the feasibility OF re-
moving the blight from old orchards
However tho cutting-ou method is
recommended, because in II lies the
only hope OF preserving the fruit in
dustry. 1t is sufficient to say that in
districts where the disease has been
rampant for years, the orchards have
been saved by this method.
The agricultural college and cxpcri-
ment station ut lilacksburg last year
started Il number OF blight eradication
experiments. Although the work in
Virginia up TO the present time has
gone forward without the Dlnre OF
trumpets lnuch good has been accom-
plishcd. several demonstrations on
blight eradication have been made at
different points in the state. ana a
bulletin of information has been issued
by the college for free distributions

ed hands at S215 a share, Sll5
above par, the total consideration
being $3O,53O. Just how the stock
was divided between the purchas-
ers has not been made public.

ident to fill the vacancy which re-
suited when Mr.. Frizell disposed
