MAKES INSPECTION.

a representative from the Food Ad-
ministration's office at Washington
was in Martinsburg and Berkeley
County last week conducting an OFF.
cial investigation of conditions under
the local administration. He was re.
quested to come some three months
age in order to obey the rulings here.
or to make any criticisms or sugges.
tons which he, as an official repre-.
sentative. might see proper. His
visit was delayed through press OF
work, and he finally came unannounc.
ed, making an independent investiga-
ton Of conditions, and at the end re-
porting to Mr. Gray Silver. County
Food Administrator
The official, MIR Stoneman by name.
reported conditions as being entirely
satisfactory from the Food Admins
tration's viewpoint, and even went so
far as to praise in strong terms the
local obedience to rules and requests.
Some few violations or nearwiolations
were detected; but neither the num-
Der nor the seriousness was beyond
what might be ordinarily expected. he
said. In these cases he administered
the proper corrective, and his final
opinion was that no investigator was
needed in Berkeley County.

FREDERICK CO. APPLE
CROP WILL Be SHORT

The commercial apple crop Of Fred
erick county, Virginia, is not expect
ed to exceed $4,000 barrels this fell,
according to expert estimates made
yesterday The crop OF 1916 was
about $4,000 barrels, while that OF
last year lid not go over 100000 bar
rels.
Secretary William p. Massey, OF the
Virginia State Horticultural Society,
has reports from many other counties
OF the state indicating that their crops
will not be as large as many growers
had anticipated early in the spring.
There has been an unusually heavy
June drop, and in some counties the
output will be about so or so per
cent of a full crop. Growers in that
county are giving their orchards spe-
cial attention and are bending every
effort TO produce apples OF excep-
tional quality.

While no official hint is given AS to
the purport of Kerensky's visit to
this country. the fact that he IL tray
cling this way coupled with the knowl-
edge that America has been consider

to adjust differences between the va
rious political parties and to nulllfy

save Russia. His power was chal-
lenged in September. 1917, by Gener-
