BLUEFIELD, Nicaragua (by
wireless to Colon, March 90
The American gunboat Paducah re-
turned today from Greytown, from
which it had been sent to invesii-
gate the reported seizure of two
American vessels by insurgents. 1t
is reported here since the Padu-

A report of the affair has been sent
to Washington by the commander
of the Paducah. 1t is declared here
the blame will be placed on the
Madriz government.
The Paducah, it is believed, will
resist any attempt to attack Blue

protection to American citizens in
case of an attack by land.

BIG ACREAGE OF
FIGS At DEL RIO
Four Thousand Trees Plant
ed in New Orchard
Tests for Cranes.

Del Rio, Tex, Feb. 1.-THE produce
ton of figs on a strictly commercial
scale has become a reality in this sec
ton A force of men is now at work
finishing the planting of 20 acre
orchard for Bernard Brown in the
Waterloo settlement, east of Del Rio
some two miles. Ten acres have been
set out with one year old trees Of the
magnolia variety and the other 10 acres
are being planting in cuttings Some
1000 trees are in this orchard, about 1913
being planted TO the acre. Mr.. Brown
is also establishing 4 nursery of 5000
cuttings and these trees will next year
be set out on an adjoining % acre
tract, which viii make an orchard OF
40 acres under one management.
Watered from Well.
Vegetables, including sweet potatoes,
Irish potatoes. etc, will be planted be-
probably next. The fig trees should
bear fair crops when two years old.
This orchard is watered from a drilled
well 252 feet deep, the water level being
about so feet from the surface. Under
very slow speed, the eight-horse
gasoline engine, which pulls the pump,
is supplying 55 gallons of water a min
ute When necessary the engine can
be speeded up to capacity and the
Ions per minute.
A storage tank built of concrete,
holding $1,000 gallons of water, will
be used to irrigate an adjoining tract.
When this orchard is finally bearing in
good quantities if no preserving plant
is then in operation in Del Rio Mr..
Brown will establish his own factory,
his private acreage being sufficient to
Justify such an outlay.
In addition to this planting many
other people in Del Rio have set out
fig trees in their home lots and vacant
premises and many Of the irrigated
farm owners have increased their num-
Der of figs.
The general planting of fruit and or
namental trees and small fruits about
Del Rio this winter has been very
gratifying TO those who have interested
themselves in the Improvement of hor-
ticultural conditions in this valley.
One local nursery agent will have de-
livered, when the season is finally
closed, over 500 trees of both fruits and
ornamentals and he is but one of many
who have met with success in placing
nursery stock. California varieties Of
table grapes are being tested this year
and if the remarks of eminent horticul-
turists are to be considered and prove
truthful. the time is not to be distant
when this part of Texas will be ship
ping table grapes Of the finest quality
and putting them in the markets of/the
country several weeks ahead of the
California product. II has already been
demonstra ted that Muscat of AleXan
dria, Malaga and other varieties ma

lier than they do in California. L they

mercial quantities the future of the
