Most Ancient Apple Trees.

The Oldest apple orchard in America:
if not in the world, is in the centre Oh
the ancient town Of Manzano, eighteen
miles southwest Of Estancia, Torrance
county. New Mexico. Many OF the
trees are more than six feet in CIR,

and vigorous, although neglected 1or
generations.
The Estancia valley has been peo-
pied for ages, probably by the kinsmen
of the natives found by the Spanish
explorers at Gran Quivira. Abo anu
other ancient cities. Probably IN tho
early days Of the Spanish Occupation
some Franciscan monk found his way
to Manzano and there planted inc
seeds that have developed into these
venerable trees. They are no doup'
fully 300 years old.-Chicago Chronicle

There was a time when it was Gus

the price of corn, and the usual esti-
mate was 10 pounds Of pork for a
bushel of corn, but in later years it has
been discovered that other feeds can be
used to advantage, and pork made
more cheaply with variety than with
corn alone. Experience has shown that
the hog relishes the great variety of

The first Of the New Orleans Times
Democrats cotton crop reports for the
current year was published last Mon

/. There has been a distinct de-
crease in acreage, but the precise ex-
tent of the decrease can not be deter
mined until the outcome OF the late
paintings is known.
2. There has been great improve
ment in the weather of late, but the
season so far has probably been the
worst of record.
3. The plant, as rule, is small and
sickly, SO that perfect conditions from
this time forth will be needed to avert
absolute disaster, and the date of kill
ing frost will possess supreme impor-
tance.
4. There are some complaints OF in
sufficient labor, because of the fact that
many negroes have migrated from the
fields to the towns.
A final estimate of the acreage will
be made in the July report.

The committee named by this association to
report ON the death of Comrade A. Klotz wish
to submit as follows: That Abraham Klotz en-
listed in the Donaldsonville Artillery at the
commencement of hostilities in the year 1861.
That it was his fortune to be present with the
historic command in all Of its campaigns, from
Yorktown to Appomatox. That his soldierly
bearing in camp, on the march and on the battle
field won communication from his comrades.
His cheerful willingness to strive for the cause
he had espoused, unto the last, was specially
noted. After his return home from the war, and
to the time of his death, he was known for the
love he bore that same cause and which he had
fought so calamity to uphold; also for his char
table disposition towards Observation-Disclosures
His uppermost and often expressed wish was
that his remains be laid to rest with those of
departed comrades in the tomb of the Army of
Northern Virginia.
Resolved. That this association mourns the
loss of valued member who up to the last call
had always taken great interest in its welfare
Resolved, That a copy of the foregoing be
addressed to the family of our departed comrade

IN MEMORIAM.
Camp No. /, Army of Northern Virginia.
Pays Tribute to Comrades Who
Have Gone Before.
z. PROSPER LANDRY.


New ORLEANS, La, May II, 1907.
To the Officers and Members of the Association
of the Army of Northern Virginia, Camp No.
Comrades-The undersigned, a special COM
mittee appointed by your president, Comrade
Harry H. Marks, to officially notify you OF the
death of Comrade r. Prosper Landry, with deep
regret, beg your leave TO report that he died on
Tuesday, April 10, 1907, at 1855 m, at his home
in Donaldsonville, La.
Our gallant and beloved comrade, Jean Rey-
maud Jacques Prosper Landry, was born on his
fathers plantation, in the parish of Ascension.
on March g. 1926 and was a descendant of the
Acadian pioneers of Louisiana. He was gradu-
ated from Georgetown College in 1886 and from
the Law School of Louisiana in 1854. In 1855 he
was married to Miss Adele Pedesclaux and IN
1861 he babe farewell to his wife and children
and enlisted in the ranks of the 'Canoniers de
Donaldson the battery which afterwards, un-
der the name of DonaldsonyiIle Artillery, fought
its way to iTaperishable fame in the campaigns of
the Army of Northern Virginia from Williams
burg to Appomatox. Our comrade was soon
elected to a second lieutenancy and was success
lively promoted in active service until in Febru-
ary 1864 he succeeded to the captaincy of the
company made vacant by the elevation Of Cap
tain Victor Maurin to the majorShip of the ar
tillery battalion of the division. From that
time Captain Landry led the battery in its
marches and battles with parental soiicitude
and with the fearlessnesS and exalted sense of
duty which characterized him in all the walks of
life, until the mournful end came at Appomatox
He returned home enriched by the glory of his
splendid career of patriotic service, and resumed
the peaceful pursuits of life and the duties IN
cu1nbent upon him as husband and father and
as a good and useful citizen.
The community which had known him since
his birth, and had come to speak of him as the
grand old man." gave most eloquent attestation
of the love and esteem IN which he was held, IN
public demonstration unsurpassed IN So
Iemnity and in numbers.
Therefore, your committee feel that in the 8
death of Captain R. Prosper Landry this assocla-
ton has lost one of its noblest members and the
state soldier, patriot and citizen, embodying
virtues which entitled him to take rank with the
most chivalric and devoted followers of our
peerless commander, Robert E. Lee.
We recommend that this report be spread
upon the minutes of the association and that a
copy thereof be transmitted to the family of our
deceased comrade with assurance of our profound
sympathy in their Unreasonable bereavement.
Very respectfully,
LEON JASTREMSKI,
JNO S. MOTION,
