Gated on the Potomac river, just op-
posite the historic Antietam battlefield,
where there is national cemetery and
places of interest connected with that
great battle. IL was to Shepherdstown
that many of the wounded were brought
after the battle as General Lee retreat
ed into Virginia and the town became
one great hospital
Shepherdstown enjoys another dis
tinctiCn, as il was on the Potomac near
here where James Rumsey sailed mis-
steamboat. some years before Rober,
Fulton sailed his Clermont on the Hud-
son. General Washington, it is report
ed, predicted THAT Rumsey's inven-
ton would solve the problem of water
navigation" A large monument to
James RumSey stands on a high hill
near the rive over oohing Shepherds
town and is one of the sights of the
town. Three cousins, children of my
mothers brother John Shaner, are all
the relatives | have in Shepherdstown
and to them am largely indebted for
favorS during my visit.

More Fruit Trees For Berkeley County

To the undenied surprise of many
local business people. says the Mar
tinsburg Journal, fruit men of Berke-
ley county this fall are planting new
fruit trees, Seventy-five per cent of
them apples, to the extent of $4,000 in
Berkeley county, the surprise being due
To the fact that the action follows a
year when there was practically no
crop in the county and when fruit
men generally were compelled to Dor
row money TO tide their orchards over
until next harvest. Inquiry among
growers showed that a number uf them
are setting out trees on new land at
the present time, taking advantage of
the open weather, that many are re-
planting this fall, and that others are
going ahead with their plans to plant
next spring. J. william Stewart, who
has extensive holdings in the Tabler
section, is setting out 10000 trees,
some of them peach; H. H. Rutherford,
&. f. Williams, ]. Roy Nadenbousch,
G. A. Miller, II. A. Downs and others
reported actual setting Of stock. The
estimated $4,000 new trees, the equiva-
lent of more than $50 acres in new
orchard territory, is we'll scattered
throughout the county.
The short crop during the past sea-
son raised the question in the mind of
the public as to what reaction would
probably whether the boom in
orchard land which has held sway
here for the past three years would
continue or whether properties would
slump. The direct answer, the bust
ness people point out with pleasure, is
the uninterrupted extension of the
fruit o'ding evident this fall and
promised for the spring. Money has
been found available for such expan-
sion, although, due to the failure Of
the 1921 crop, funds generally were
not easy to find. The banks. it was
disclosed, have sailed close to the
fruit men because they regard the
fruit industry as probably the biggest
stable element in the economic life of
the county.
One other feature of the fruit de-
velopment this fall has been the re-
turn, 10 a degree much larger than
has been usual during the past ten
wears, 10 peach trees. Ten and twenty
wears ago Berkeley county was well
planted with peach orchards; but the
apple orchards monopolized the land
n time, and during the past three
years there have been no peaches pro-
'uced in the county. Messrs Ruther-
ford, Stewart, Nadenbousch and Will
fans this fall are planting a consider
abe proportion of peach trees. most OF
the stock being put in entirely new
ground or being Unexplained with
Young apple trees. Peach trees on
Berkeley county soil begin to bear in
their third and fourth wears. and the
revenue establishes itself much soon
er than from apple orchards.

suit by Jacob FrieZner against Mrs.
