Grow Walnut Trees.

No American tree surpasses the
walnut in utility. Its nut crop is
valuable, while the lumber is useful
for furniture and for house trim.
There was 80 much walnut in Ger.
tain parts OF the United states in the
early days that fence rails were split
from the giant trees. Some OF the
old walnut snake fences may still be

According to the Forestry Magdsine
$50 bushels OF seed have been planted

burg from many owners Of woodland
who desire to start walnut groves.
The walnut tree Is comparatively
quick in growth.
The ease with which a grove may
be started Is shown in the experience
OF an Indiana farmer who gathered
wagonloads OF nuts and litter In the
Wabash bottoms and spread the stun
on the frozen ground late in the fall
rho rexf snrinR when the frost had
gone the nuts were pressed into the
soil. Now he has promising young
grove OF trees.
Considering the value Of the prod.
uct and the ease with which grove
may be started. and also bearing In
mind the necessity OF increasing our
timber supply. the growing Of walnut
trees is worthy OF encouragement.

win its games. Every player on our
team is a bona fide permanent resident
of this place, and there's no better
sporting spirit in all this section than
that which our boys maintain. When
we beat Winchester on their own
grounds couple of weeks ago the Vir-
ginia players as we'll as the fans would
hardly believe that all of our team were

"Shepherdstown has always played
good ball and they have a rare sporting
spirit over there. Besides, don't for

This afternoon Uncle Sandy Baker
brings his famous team down from
Winchester to try to even I'D matters
with us for having taken the first game
from them that they have lost this
season. That game was played on the
Winchester diamond. and the return
game will be PLAYED this afternoon on
our diamond. The game will start
promptly at $50 and the indications
are that there will Re a record break
ing crowd on the grounds. On Mon
day we go to Charles Town and play
the strong Strasburg. Va, team, who
claim the championship OF the Shenan-
doah Valley. Thev beat Winchester
on their own diamond last week 4 to
3. This will be a nightly interesting
game and will be PLAYED for the benefit
of the Charles Town Hospital. In all
probability the battery for this game
will be X. Mckee and Shinlev or

Notes of the Game.

This is the second game K. Mckee
has worked in this year, but it is
enough to convince us that he is just
as good as ever.
We put over 16 haymakers while the
college lads were busy scattering their
five hits over the field
Dick Davis was in the lineup, the
first time this season. Dick put up
some good ball for us last year At
the beginning of the season this year he
had his wrist broken in a college game,
which accounts for his non-appearance
with us. He showed that he still had
an eye for hitting 'em, getting two out
of four trips to the plate.
Winnie Legge was behind the bat
for us, and the way he held that Mckee
boy was a caution. There wasn't a
man that tried to steal second on him.
Winnie had hits out OF trips to the
plate, which shows that he'll soon have
Iris after him to fill Steve O'Neilrs
shoes.
The way that Judy Rogers scooped
that old horsehide out Of the dust
we'll, there's simply no way for man
to get on, except to knock the ball out
of the lot, and with Myers and Mckee
turning in Shutout games with four
and five hits the limit, il is safe to say
that Connie Mack will soon want to be
rebuilding his wrecking machine of
national fame from the Shepherdstown
boys.
