PERILOUS AGE OF OUR
SENIOR NAVAL OFFICERS
Continued from Page :

active service. some OF them months ago.
NIce-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford has
successfully commanded five squadrons.
In the Japanese navy, Admiral Togo is

average forty-nine, and the vice-admirals.

are under tifty-three.
OF course. II will be immediately urged
that If our admirals are so quickly to
retire, the younger captains viii all the
sooner rise to replace them. True, but
with what experienced As captains only;
and the result IS another list of mex
perienced admirals, also of advanced
years. 1t is important to keep clearly in
view what has been dwelt upon already,
namely that the times have changed
since the DAYS of wooden lne-of- battle
ships and that an admiral must have
time for education as an admiral, after
he gets his commission. But apart from
this, let US look at the age condition OF
the eightv-sevcn captains. At the pres
ent moment three are sixty-one, fifteen
are tiftv-nine. eighteen are tifty-eight,
twentv-four are tIfty-seven, eighteen are
tIftv-siN. SIX are tifty-fve, and three are
tiftv-four The average age is therefore
tIftv-seven and two-tenths wears.
Let US now replace the nineteen ad-
--irals to be retired within the next two
wears with captains, and see how much
our condition VIII have become improved.
OF these nineteen new adnIrals, seven
viii be slNtv-one, SIX sixty. and SIN
tiftv-nine. and Of the five old ones still
on the list, two VIII be sINty-One and
three sixty. Does that make US any
better off than we are now The average
age of our admIrals IN round numbers IS
at present sixty and eight-tenths years.
It then VIII be almost exactly the same.
In fact the Youngest admiral on the list
viii be about a year older than the
Youngest Is now.
1t would take far too much mathemat-
les to enter into the necessary actuarial
combinations here. but the result OF
CAPTAINS of such advanced age as ours,
briefly stated. Is that We have none
whose legal time Of active service IS now
such as to permit him to make one
cruise two years. IN command OF a
battle-ship. one cruise II command OF a
squadron. and still have a sufficient period
left for one cruise IN command OF a fleet
That IS to say, II has become wholly
Ir-Dracticable for US to convert the cap
-ains we have INTO efficient fleet adj
mirals. because their age prevents their

Farm Help.

The Western Fruit Grower is of the
opinion that the Importation of Chi
nese and Japanese labOrers is the
only solution of the labor problem.
The problem of farm help is be-
coming more serious every year. Good
help is so hard to get that many
farmers are changing their method of
farming, so that less help will be
needed in caring for the place. In
some parts of the East negroes are
being brought from the Southern
states to help work the farm, but if
these negroes are not different from
most of their race who have come
North. they will soon begin to leave
the farms to work in the cities. The
proposition is a very serious one, and
many persons suggest as the only
remedy the importation of Chinese
and Japanese labOrers. And, really
we cannot see how these Immigrants
could be any more Objectionable than
thousands of the lower class who have
arrived from some of the European
countries within the past year. One
way to help remedy the evil is to
make the farm life so attractive that
more of our American boys will be
glad to remain on the farm, and this
Iattractiveness will also help to hold
the most desirable class of farm help
in any community.

acre at each application. 1 apply 1000

The crop is mainly harvested in

Negroes work for us ten hours per
day. Pickers, who wade through the
thick pines and wear canvas leggings
and mittens to protect them from the
sharp. serrated leaves, get $3.50 per
day. The catcher, who stands in
the alley beside a hand-cart, catches
the pines as they are thrown to him
and placed i'm the cart; then they are
hauled to the packing-hOuse.

pines take care OF themselves III prop

When the plant fruits it throws out
| from one to five suckers, some of
which bear the next year. In spots
plants sometimes die out and are re-
placed with suckers torn from sur
rounding plants, and thus the fields
are kept up year after year.
The growers find a great deal of
leisure time to enjoy life. 10 hours
day. no chores, no stock to attend to,
gives plenty of time for sOciables, din
ners picnics, launch parties, etc. Dur
| ing the winter months we have little
to do on the plantations, and some of
us work at our trades. One man who
has six acres, works as boat builder
at $500 per day; another as carpenter
earns the same for about six months
in the year. Others who do not care
to work away from their place, kill
time by hunting and fishing. This
would be an ideal occupation for one
with taste for literary or artistic
work, as the leisure time could be
made profitable by writing, etc.
Land is high in price, and there is
not much of the typical pineapple land
for sale; $4,000 per acre for uncleared
land. Improved places with dwell
ing and packing houses can be bought
for $4,000 to 100000 per acre. Flat

Raising Pineapp1es on the Indian
River.

plantation is one of interest to many
of our readers. We have at various
times published articles on the subject,
one especially good one being written
for the Florida Agriculturist, by a
grower at White City. We have just
found one in the Fort Pierce News,
written for that paper by Mr.. r. l..
Goodwin, a grower of that section.
As in orange culture, so also in the
culture of pineapples, there is much
difference of opinion as to the best
methods. 1t is probably also true that
what is best in one place and on one
kind of soil might not be the best for
another man only a few miles away.
Mr. Goodwin says:
Along the Indian River lies stretch
Of poor, sandy soil, from 20 to 40 feet
above the water about nineteen miles
in length and less than mile In
width where grow the Indian River
pines Parallel with the river and
close to the bank lies the county road,
which runs through the front of the
plantations.
The Florida East Coast Railway also
runs through the plantations, and the
passengers may see an almost un-
broken field of pines from Fort Pierce
to Waveland and st. Lucie river.
The growth upon the uncleared land
is largely spruce pine, but some
hickory and oak scrub.
On the river bank is a fine growth
of the cabbage palmetto. The spruce
land is almost devoid of humus and
will grow no other crop than pine
apples.
The hickory land will grow oranges
fairly well, but pineapples ON this soil
do best of anything. The land is
cleared of trees and brush, then
grubbed to a depth of ten inches, care
fully raked and the trash and timber
burned, care being taken to burn on
soil where there is to be nothing
planted The land is staked off in
blocks of about 20 rows, 20 to %
inches apart, leaving an alley of about
six feet between blocks. The burning
is done in these alleys.
The pineapple is propagated from
small plants growing from the stalk
that bears the fruit, and are called

rounded by the slips and is shaded
from the hot rays of the sun, largely.
When the fruit is gathered, the slips
are left on the stalk to mature, and in
few weeks are ready for planting.
The slips are then gathered and placed
in piles They are then trimmed by
having the butts cut Off and few of
the basil leaves torn off exposing the
tiny roots.
The pineapple top or crown is also
utilized as plant.
If you examine a pineapple top after
being taken from the apple by pulling
a few of the bottom leaves away, you
will find immature roots like those
found in the slip.
The land is then marked off in rows
2OX2O or 22X22 inches, and while one
man drops the trimmed slips from a
basket another man takes a dibble and
punches hole in the sand about two
inches deep with one hand, while with
the other he puts in the slips as fast
as the man can drop them.
A little cOttOnseed meal and tobacco
dust is dropped in the hearts of the
plants to prevent the sand from get
ting i'm and choking them, and too as a
fertilizer.
Two years after planting they bear
their first crop, and then every year

Approved Pensions.

Senator Hawley of Connecticut,
about to retire from public life after
a career wholly honorable and un-
selfish, has been placed on the list Of
brigadier generals. This assures him
an income sufficient to care for him
to the end of his days There can be
no doubt that to confer this privilege
was to stretch point, and that
everybody is glad TO have the point
stretched is creditable to the heart of
the people.
Senator Hawley had been too busy
to look out for his own interests.
Old age came upon him, and feeble
health, and found him unprepared to
face the conditions with comfort, 1t
would have been a reproach TO let the
veteran suffer. There was no pro-
vision by which he could receive a
pension. Then 1t was remembered
that he was OF the citizens who, when
the country needed men, had offered
himself and acquitted himself with
honor. To class him as retired gem
eral, and not merely as a statesman
who had run the race and to whom
nothing was owed, was thoughtful
and gracious act.
1t is pleasing to note that there
was no partisan division on this deli
cate matter, but that Democrats were
ready with the Republicans to do
honor to one TO whom honor was due,
and to whom, in the ordinary course
OF events, it would not have come in
any form more substantial than a
spoken eulogium.

ImDudenee in Court.

Mrs. Chadwick, brought before a
referee in bankruptcy, refused to tell
her name She would not answer
any questions unless to do so was in
accord with her own purpose. She
had a lawyer who encouraged her in
this spirit Of contumacy
It is fair 10 say that the woman is
in contempt of court, and that her
lawyer is with her. II the presiding
officer lacked the power to send the
counsel to jail along with the client
he lacked a power that igt the inter-
ests of justice should have belonged
to him.
Mrs Chadwick is, In all probability,
one of the most dangerous. and as
well, one of the meanest swindlers
that ever operated If the records
are net at fault she has served one
term as felon. She is entitled to a
fair trial, but that she should have
the privilege Of keeping silent when
asked an essential question, is one OF
the anomalies of judicial procedure.
Recently an army officer received a
sentence of more than sixty years for
falsifying accounts TO total Of 81 800.
Provided he deserved this, Mrs Chad
wick deserves life sentence and a
longer life than is vouchsafed mortal.
1t would be a mistake TO allow her
to emerge unscathed, because the en-
couragement TO other rascals would
be certain to produce definite results.
Nor does there appear any reason why
a lawyer. endeavoring to promote the
interests of a client. should become
accessory after the fact TO all the
crimes of the client.
