EXPERIMENTAL STATION BE-!
GINS MOVEMENT.
Experiments Will Probably Prove of
Great Benefit to the Farmers
of This State.
Having reached an agreement with
the Hoard of Control and the warden
of the penitentiary', the directors of
the West Virginia Experimental Sta
tion will this summer make all their
tests on the penitentiary farm, twelve
6dies south of this city. Director
tewart. In a letter to the penal war
den. announces that the directors will
within a short time move a large
quantity of their material to Mounds
vllle to start spraying potatoes and
making various forms of fertilizer
tests.
Hy making these tests on the pent- |
tentlary farm the directors of the ex- 1
perimental station will have an ample :
opportunity of carefully studying the
tests which will through time prove j
of great benefit to the farmers and
fruit growers of this State. Already
the demonstrating work in spraying j
orchards by the directors of the sta
tion Is producing results. In Monon-1
Balia county more than 10u spraying !
pnmps have been purchased during i
the past few weeks, while in Ohio !
county nearly this number have been
purchased. Not only are these sprays
good for fruit trees, but they have I
proven of great benefit to the shade !
trees on which they are being used !
her*. Hundreds have been sold
throughout the fruit raising section of '
the State, and the movement for bet-1
ter fruit culture has spread through- ■'
out the State. Fruit raisers of the
Ohio Valley and the eaetern Pan Man- j
die are finding these sprays of great t
use.
Orchard tests of spraying, pruning
and planting trees in this vicinity and
in the Potomac Valley are being con-'
ducted by Professor A. 1.. Dacey and ]
Professor J. E. Ftror, who will be glad
to give any Information to local fruit t
growers or persons Interested In the
new systems. This information can
be obtained by writing to the station
at Morgantown. Persons who are llv-i
lng In this Immediate vicinity can see*
the experiment; being made at the !
penitentiary farm.

General On Call for An Extra Session
of the State Legislature.
CHARLESTON. \V. Va . April 1? —
There lias hern little comment about
the capitol building over the extra
session call, due to the belief pre
valent for six week that the governor
would do as he said he would unless
he could be convinced that the legis
lators would not pass a primary elec
tion law. There has been some specu
lation, however, as to what he would
put in the call, and hft nctirfh In this
respect as it would be in any other,
is being criticised and commended,
according to the fancy of the speaker.
The thing that is most frequently
asked, is: How long will the session '
last' "Since a session has hern I
••ailed. ! ho|«e it will pass a good |
primary election law." said a promi' !
Rent politician who has heretofore
declined to state whether in his opin
ion the governor should convene the
legislators In special session. “1 have
always been in fhvor of a primary
and we certainly need something that
will he an improvement over what
we have, and 1 have Implicit cond
«** II ill III'- alllilil « IM l»»r IllUbb
cock to see the needs of the times."
A« to the length of time the special
session will l»e in session will depend
on the progress made In the senate
where the only real opposition to a
primary Is expected, and where those
opposed to such a law believe they
will he successful. The house is ex
pected to pass one without little
trouble, as It has already gone on !
record In favor of one by a large j
majority.

Enormous Waste.

some years aao your city pat plant i
has been losing every month of the !
year an average of 45 per rent, of its
production In other words, of every
hundred thousand feet of gas you
have produced you hare wasted or
given away forty five thousand feet.
Now. of course, we intend to atop that
thing as norm as a reasonable expen
diture for the plant a tel equipment |
will stop if. No private gas plant In
the eonntry would have submitted to |
this waste so long The average of .
production waste In private plants all
over the country is nhont seven or
eight per eenf. Mere |f has been 45
|M-r rent Additional to this, we In- |
tend to establish a modern plAnt

much less wage cost than the present
