REFORM PROGRAM
Problems Of Internal Ad-

Expression Of His Views at dwelling
Of Statue to Czarina
Catherine.

ST. PETERSBURG, Oct. l4.-AIuch
/ seems to be expected both in Russia and
/ abroad from the new minister of the in
/ terror, Prince Sviatopolk-Alirsky, the
successor Of the late NJ. Won Piehve.
The new minister was at one time
/ adjunct of the minister OF the interior
and assistant OF the chief of the gen
darmerie, in which latter post he was
succeeded by the notorious General Won
Wahl. He left the ministry OF the in
terror TO become governor general Of
wilma. The reasons for this transfer
are OF interest at the present moment.
Prince SviatOpOlk- Mirsky's relations
with n Won Plehve were none of the
best. and by securing his appointment 10
the post of governor general of Wilma
the late minister got rid OF an incon-
venient associate. The vost itself which
had been vacant during General Won
WahFs term as governor OF wilma was
specially revived for Prince svIatopolk-
Mirsky.
Minister'S Declaration.
The recent ceremonies incident 10 the
unwilling Of a statue Of Catherine the
Great at wilma gave Prince Airsky an
opportunity 10 discuss the policy he i'm
tended TO pursue. Press dispatches
quote him as saying;
'Al my lie j nave been q student or

many and how complex are the prob

problems cannot be accidentally or in

Apple Trees that Fail to Bear.

Replying to an inquiry of a Progressive Farmer
reader regarding apple trees which, while grow
ing rapidly and apparently healthy, fail to pro-
duce fruit, Horticulturist W. F. Massey, of the
North Carolina Experiment Station, says:
Apple trees that are growing rapidly seldom
fruit early; the most rapid and vigorous growers
are always the longest in getting into bearing.
Apples like the Northern Spy, which are beautiful
and rapid growers, will take about sixteen years
to get to ~fruiting, while a slow growing and
stunted looking pippin will fruit in a few years.
You do not say where the orchard is. If on good
strong clay soil / would seed the orchard down to
grass at once, and keep the grass NOW several
times during the year and leave all the cut grass
on the land as a mulch. Then give the orchard an
annual dressing of acid phosphate and potash
mixed with four hundred pounds of acid phos-
phate to fifty pounds of the muriate of potash.
In short, use the land for fruit only and do not
attempt to make a pasture or a hay field OF it,
and you will get fruit.

Corn thus treated will come up sooner and bet
ter. Then again the birds and worms will not
injure your stand as badly, for they will not like
the taste of ashes.
Some hold the idea that peas will injure corn,
but [ do not think so, though if they should les
sen the crop a few bushels, they will more than
make it up in the land for next crop. But you
must not let them be too thick. I plant between
every other hill of corn (not in hill with corn),
then thin to about four pea stalks to hill; then
they will make longer vines and more peas, and
if gathered, will more than make up for loss of
corn.
Some years ago | began on one special piece of
land 1.-TWO and one-half acres creek bottom).
Planted corn the first year, also peas as before
stated; made thirty bushels of corn on the lot,
then followed with bearded wheat. Continued
this way for about seven years, and the last year
of the seven the lot made one hundred and thirty
bushels, blowing very deep all the time.
