Great Decrease.

WINCHESTER, Va. Aug. "a
virginia's commercial apple crop
this fall will not exceed 100000 bar
rels, according to expert estimates.
This will mean a reduction of ap-
proximately 100000 barrels from
last year.
The falling of Is due entirely to
freezing weather late in March and
early in April. The trees blossomed
thirty days earlier than in normal
years.
State Senator Harry p. Byrd. of
Winchester. whose crop Of 10000
barrels last year was the largest in
the State, said to-day his crop this
year will be around 5000 barrels.
and even with this greatly reduced
crop he probably will lead the State
growers in production. Senator
Byrd used more than a carload of oil
in smudge pots in his orchards dur
ing the freezing period last spring.
and he attributes this seasons
prospects TO the oil pots. the heat
and smoke screens keeping the tenn
perature slightly above freezing.
Several contracts have been made
this week for delivery Of York I'M
perial apples, az inches. at Sc per

tiers. most of whom live in Hancock.

FIRST COTTON
BLOOMS COME IN

The first cotton blooms to reach the
Dispatch office were brought in Sat
urday night by Mr.. William Gunter,
who operates a place in the prairie sec
tion on the Plymouth road four and
a half miles from Columbus.
The blooms were found in the fields
on June Is which is seven days earl
ier than the date ON which the first
blooms were sent to the Dispatch last
season.
Last season the first bloom was
brought in by Mr.. H. X. Robinson on
June %.
As a rule the cotton crop this year
is late, and Mr. Gunter's blooms are
exceptionally early. He was for
tunate in his early crop in that it
was not killed by the cold weather
and re-planting was not necessary.
Many farmers in this section were
forced to re-plant two and three times
before the crop could be gotten on
lis way.

Accident? No, Just An
incident" In The
"Drilling For Oil. "

The Billups Well, having made a
record run for steady progress so far,
displayed a fit of bad temper on Mon
day afternoon by dropping a thou
sand feet of drill pipe, new "rock
roller Bit and all, into the 1,7S6-foot
hole. Usually, this results in an
accident" and often a tedious fish
ing job, but in this case the drillers
changed it into a mere incident" by
their quick, efficient work, hauling
the runaway pipe, bit and all, right
cut Of the hole again. OF course it
caused some damage, and ruined
about 600 feet Of the drill pipe and
the new roller bit, but nothing else
that cannot be repaired in two or
three DAYS times. and by the expen-
dfture Of fifteen hundred or two thou
sand dollars. II is these little "inci-
dents" that make the drilling Of dis
covery wells such a hazardous and
expensive undertaking. which the
general public seldom takes into sc-
count. Is il 70 be wondered at that

RIGHT SPIRIT

tied a splendid community spirit on
Monday by postponing their regular

not to conflict with the community
enterprise and the club thus has rend-
cred a public service. This spirit on
the part Of the Kiwsnisns is appreci-
sted by those who are sponsoring the
Get Acquainted tours, and the club
and its members are TO be commended
for il.
