duced Much study has been given to
improvement of the soil for the special
culture of the apple. The two choice
factors employed for this purpose have
been tillage and the clover plant. The
first foot of surface soil of the Hudson
Valley, as aSO much New England, is
abundantly supplied with plant food,
which is securely locked up in every
particle of grain of the rock from
which the soil is made. Tillage is an
important factor in making plant food
available, and modern machinery is
used for reducing the soil to it's finest
condition.
The chef function of clover is that
of building up nitrogen in the soil, and
also humus of vegeta BILE matter which
has been largely worn out. At Or
chard Farm, after several generations
of production, it was discovered that
there was a deficiency of nitrogen for
the most successful culture of the APP
pie, and as this is an essential element
of plant food and costly to- buy, the
clover plant was carefully studied and
used as the most economical means to
be employed by which to obtain it.
But the clover failed to grow when the
seed was sown, and it was learned that
there must be present i'm the soil GER
tain bacterial germs which feed and
nOuriSh the clover. 1t was also learn
ed that the clover in turn had power to
take from The atmosphere it's free nj
trOgen and thereby stimulate the
growth of these germs which develop
upon the roots of the clover in numer-
Gus small nOdules, and which, in their
decomposition, provide nitrogen for the
Use of other plants.
While the philosophy of this coop
erative action between these bacterial
germs and the clover plant is not fully
understood by scientific lnvestigat tors,
the fact is known that where these
germs do not exist, and, in conse-
quence, clover cannot be successfully
grown, the soil may be inOculated by
bacterial germs artiicially prepared.
This may be done 10y saturating
clover seed with the germs dissolved
in water, and sowing the seed on the
land, when the germs will begin to
multiply and thus nourish the clover
plant. For several years fruit trees
have been planted and orchards ex-
tended ON soil that was long con-
sidered too impoverished to- make
possible the best growth of trees, but
at the same time these nitrogen bac-
terial germs have been cultivated until
by them the soil has been so improved
that the finest fruit is now produced.
SO attractive has this work become
at the farm that young men and wo-
men come daily from the surrounding
farms and village homes to engage in
the work here carried ON. College
students, both men and women, come
to study the science of horticulture
and to apply the knowledge gained in
practical work. These do budding,
grating and pruning of trees, and also
learn the commercial side of the bust
ness. Young women from families of
wealth and culture in cities may be

OLIVER PEoNAGE CASE.
During the Argument a Negro Creates
Furore.

Knoxville. Tenn, November 22.-Hear-
ing testimony in the alleged peonage
cases of r. B. Oliver and others was
concluded in federal court here this
morning and argument was begun. Gen.
]. S. Penland, United States district at
torney, opened for the prosecution, speak
ing one hour. He said this was the first
time in the history of the state that such
a case had come to trial. J. H. Frantz
opened for the defense, making an able
speech.
During vigorous arraignment of the
case Mr.. Frantz was interrupted by a
negro in the court room. The negro pro-
tested against Mr.. rFantz's declarations.
Judge c. D. Clark, presiding. ordered the
negro removed from the room. The Incl
dent created a furore and it was some
time before quiet was restored
Attorney Frantz explained he meant no
reflection upon the colored race as a
whole, but upon the vagrant class, which.
he declared, is a menace to the better
element of the negroes as we'll as the
white people. Two other speeches are
to be made upon either side, and the
case will go to the jury tonight.

PREDICTS Big YEAR
IN SHIP BUILDING
REAR ADMIRAL BoWLES, SPEAK
ING TO NAVAL ENGINEERS,
PRoPHEslEs A LARGE OUTPUT
OF MERCHANT VESSELS.

/ New York. November ga great i'm
lprovement in shipbuilding in the United
States for the coming year was predicted
by Rear Admiral Francis Bowles, presi-
dent CT the Society of Naval Architects
and Marine Engineers, in an address at
the opening session of the society's four
teenth annual meeting here today. Presi-
dent Bowles said that while the govern
ment's record of shpbuilding for the last
] fiscal year indicated a small showing of
steel construction on the seaboard, ne
was gratified to be able to prophecy a
great Improvement for the coming year,
and evidences of a more satisfactory
showing for shipbuilding generally than
had ever been known In the life of the
society.
ut is probable that the output of mer-
chant vessels said the admiral, almost
wholly steam for the year 1907 will ex
coed the greatest amount ever built in one
year in the United States, namely 1850,
when $50, $50 tons were constructed"
He predicted that I'VE in the United
States shall not be much longer subject
10 the reproach that our tonnage in the
foreign trade is less now than 1t was 100
years ago."
