Demonstration Orchards
For Shenandoah County.

Prof. G. S. Ralston, Horticul
turist for the Extension Depart
ment of the Virginia Polvtechni
Institute, and his assistant Mr.
Marshall recently visited thu
county in interest of the frui
industry. The object of thei,
visit was TO locate demonstration
orchards in each ma gis erlal dis
trict of the county for the pur
pose Of assisting the fruit mer
to solve 20 ne of the many prob
lens that are now confronting
them.
The fruit industry of Shenan.
doah County has developed rap.
idly within the past few years
and with this development have
come many diseases and insect
ipests that must be kept under
control ii the maximum results
are to be obtained. The most
improved methods of orchard
control will be carried out in
these demonstrations and / feel
sure that this work will prove to
be of incalculable value to the
fruit grower.
Wherever it is possible to do
so the demonstration orchards
will be located on the Valley
Pike so that the work may be
observed by the greatest number.
Mr.. Ralston started work OF this
kind in Rockingham County
about two years ago beginning
with five acres, now there are
about one thousand acres in that
county being cared for according
to the methods advocated and
used by the Extension Depart.
meut.
Mr.. Ralston's plan of work is
to get the permission of some
man who has ten or more acres
in orchard, to allow the Extern
sion Department the use of
probably two acres to be used
for the demonstration. The
owner of the orchard agrees to
carry out the instructions laid
down by the Extension Depart.
ment az nearly as possible with
reference to cultivation and
spraying, the pruning will be
done by the Extension forces.
Large signs stating the details
of the dem onstration will be
posted by the road side and by
this means any one passing can

quifies.
TIE demonstrations will be

I shall be very glad to talk
With any one WHO il interested

there is no reason why farmers
and other woodland owners in
the East whose timber has been
attacked BY the chestnut blight
should not make use Of the killed
and infected timber. Such ma.
terial, it is claimed. has been
found after three years. trial to
be durable as that which the
blight has not attacked, but
should be peeled before being
used.
Experiments conducted at Wa

Gretna, Pennsylvania, to deter
mine the value of the diseased
wood have shown that blight
killed and infected chestnut is
lust as durable as the healthy
timber and is consequently equal
lily valuable. These experiments
say the foresters, show that there

The material used in the ex

and ties, both from infected an.

WILSON MAN OF ACTION.

New York, Sept. TASK
anybody out in California who
Gavin McNab is and you'll be
told: why. McNab's the wit
tiest and brainiest man in the
State. He's the man who re.
formed San Francisco. He drove
the notorious Ross Buckley out
of politics, gave the city a new
charter and by his support help
ed elect one of the best Mayors
the city ever had, James d
Phelan, now United States Sen
ator.
President Wilson has no
stoneer supporter than Gavin
McNab. In a signed article in
the New York Sunday World
today Mr.. McNab presents a
Western view of the Campaign
in part as follows:
A great philosopher said that
Faith is stronger than Reason,
because it acts.
Wilson had faith in the peo'
PIE and acted.
Hughes suggests nothing
occupies the attitude of polit..
c,l negative; assumes that Tie
people will accept a man who
objects to everything and pro-
poses no remedies.
president Wilson has beer
ironically termed the teacher
the INCEST tribute that can bs
paid to any man since the time
of Jesus OF Nazareth!
This teacher has becom,
the greatest man of action sin I
Lincoln. He has made of tn
law a living thing to inf1ueno,
the lives and hopes and aspira
tions Of men.
Hughes is not man Of &C
tor. His campaign is withou
Ii ,pe or promise to the people
The attack upon the President
mexican policy is merely scold
ing. The deduction, draw
from his constant criticism, il
that the United States shoult
have considered assassination a.
a legitimate element of govern
ment by recognizing Huerta.
Tried by any standard, thu
heart and sense of the American
people know that Wilson ha.
been right.
When the great nations Of
the earth, other than our own,
are destroying one another; when
the human race is bleeding to
death from murder, America ha.
been peaceful aud prosperoul
beyond the mem Try Of man
THE President has steered
the Ship of State through stormy
waters. Our people are prsc-

Whatever is right when it
is right is a good motto in poll

1.-The facts are for Wilson.

CO URT AWAITS ACTION ON
 DRY LAW

The application of the Juneau u quor Company for a retail liquor Ii. cense in the city of Juneau from July 1, 1917, was presented to the district court yesterday. and the same was denied by the court.
 The object of the application being made at this time was to learn, if pos. sible, the attitude of the court on the question whether liquor licenses would be granted subsequent to the expira, tiOn of those now in force, which will expire June 30, next year.
 The court said that the same pro cedure would be followed next July, that Is, an election or expression from the residents would he had as to whether they did or did not want li- quor sold within the city has been done in the past; that the election of November ' was a matter going to prohibition over the entire territory and that in regard to this the national congress would or would not in all probability enact legislation that would govern the action of the court. The court said furthermore, that it had only the power to grant licenses for not more than one year at time,

 DEALS DECLARED OFF.

All negotiations for the sale of the Alaska steamers Dolphin and Jeffer. son, of the Alaska Steamship Com pany's fleet were declared off at a meeting between President w. R. Bax- ter of the Alaska company and the representatives of the Crosby Steam ship Company, of Milwaukee. The meeting was held in Chicago, but it was impossible for the representatives of the two companies to agree upon the terms of the purchase of the Jef- ferson and upon which the deal for the Dolphin also depended upon. The Dolphin was originally to be sold for $125,0O0, but the figures for the lief ferson are not known.

and if license was now given the Juneau Liquor Company it would put them in possession of a license for a longer period.
 What clements of uncertainty that may exist, suggested the court, could possibly be properly handled by the delegate in congress in asking that body to pass legislation which would not hamper or in any way work an injustice upon the liquor dealers of Alaska.
 Just what the future holds in store in relation to the matter is now pure ly eonjectural. The Alaska legisla- ture may or may not memorialize con gress in the premises. Congress may if petitioned by the legislature refuse to act one way or the other.
 So, the situation is simply this: Those liquor dealers now in business who desire renewals and those con templatlng engaging in the business may petition the district court next year and, if after an expression from the people, is desire that li quor be sold, the court will take ac- tion in allowing or refusing the appli cants as 1t elects. In the meantime it remains to be seen what, if anything the territorial legislature or the con gress of the United States may do in the premises.-Juneau Dispatch.

STRONG REACTION
ON COTTON MARKET
Active Session Featured By
Heavy Trading and Broad
Fluctuations

New Orleans, August 10.-There was a
strong reactionary tendency in the cotton
market today but support met the de-
clines except late in the afternoon when
pressure from liquidation and short sell
ing was pronounced, and prices were sent
% to % points under yesterdays final
quotations The close was at a net loss
of q to % points. 1t was an active
session, featured by periods of heavy
trading, and broad fluctuations.
Liverpool again was poor and this, COM
bined with improved weather conditions
in the eastern portion of the cotton re-
gion, and reports of a greatly increased
movement of the new crop in Texas, re-
suited in moderately heavy selling around
the opening, under which values fell off
Is to Is points. Bullish interests Offered
support and prices gradually recovered
In the early afternoon following a rumor
that Austria was asking a separate peace
from the entente allies, the strongest
months rose l to points over yester-
days close. This hard spot brought out
the heaviest selling of the day and prices
dropped in one of the quickest slumps
in recent sessions.

COTTON MARKET
IS VERY NERVOUS.
General List Closed Steady
at Net Decline of %
to q Points

New York, August 10.-The cotton mar
lar again today. An early decline to
1442c for December was followed by
rallies to 145sc for that position, but the
market broke very sharply late in the
afternoon under renewed realizing and a
withdrawal of bull support, with that de-
livery selling down to 14.32c and closing
at 1436c. The general list closed steady
at a net decline of % to 81 points.
The market opened at decline of 8
to u points under renewal of the selling
movement, which was in action at the
close last night. Reactionary sentiment,
which had been more or less generally
expressed around the ring here in yes
terday's late trading, appeared to be en-
couraged by relatively easy bids and re-
ports of more favorable weather in the
eastern belt. Prices eased off to a net
loss of Is to 10 points during the early
session, with October selling at 14.22c and
January at 14.50c, or about % to 80 points
under yesterdays high level. Offerings
then seemed to diminish, and following
the detailed weather report showing con-
tinued clear weather in Oklahoma with
high temperatures, prices turned firmer
on a renewal of western buying and COW
ering by recent sellers. This advance
carried active months gack to just about
yesterdays closing prices, with October
selling up to 1850 and January to 146Sc,
and there were bids for some pretty big
blocks of cotton during the progress OF
the advance Offerings increased during
the middle of the afternoon, however,
and the market became very weak and
unsettled in tn elater trading, with Octo-
Der selling off to 1411c and January ia
14.4oc. The close was or points up

Sugar Market

New York, August 10.-The local mar
ket for raw sugar was quieter today as
there were no further sales reported To-
cally, prices were nominally unchanged.
Nearby Cubas were offered at 4&c for
Cubas, cost and freight, but reflners
were not interested. owing to the disap-
pointing demand for refined. Outport re-
finers purchased 5000 bags Cubas, Au-
gust shipments, at 4%c; closing prices
were 4%c for Cubas, cost and freight,
equal to 575c for centrifugal and DC for
molasses.
The market for refined sugar was quiet
and unchanged, all refners listing on the
basis of 7.25c for fine. Business was
again of small proportions, and buyers
seemed to be awaiting further read
justment in values
In futures further reactions continued
under continued selling by commission
houses, owing to the poor demand for
refined and unsettled situation in the raw
sugar market. Closing prices were to s
points net lower with sales of S,150 tons.
