REVIEW PLANS OFF.
Pacific Fleet Not to Hold Mobilixa
tfon Mt San Francisco.

The Pacific fleet is now so busy II was
stated at the Navy Department yester-
day, that it will be impossible to hold
the mobilization and review at San Fran
cisco October 13-15. as was expected. 1t
had been planned to have reviews of the
Atlantic. Pacific, and Asiatic fleets stimuli
taneously. The big ships of the Pacific
fleet are now 50 scattered that there is
little possibility of their being able to
get together in time for a review next
month.
The revolt in Nicaragua is mainly re-
sponsible for the abandonment of the re-
view plans. The cruisers California,
Colorado. Cleveland. and Denver are all
in Nicaraguan waters, and likely to be
there for some time to come. The gun
boat Annapolis is also on the Nicarsguan
coast. The gunboat Vicksburg is cruis-
ing on the Mexican coast. at the request
Of the State Department, while the
cruiser Maryland. one of the best and
largest Of the Pacific fleet ships, is at
Yokohama, where it is waiting to bring
Secretary Knox back to the United
States.
Elementary target practice has also
been abandoned by the Pacific fleet for
the present. Admiral Switzerland, who
is In command personally in Nicaragua.
will order target practice at some con-
venient time later.

WOULD COST $25 oOo, 900, 900.
Improvement of All Roads Imprnc
ticabIe, Says Secretary Hays.

Acting Secretary Of Agriculture willet
NJ. Hays yesterday declared that Con-
gress can never hope to improve all the
roads of the country on account of the
tremendous cost involved. Prof. Hays
said that the task is a hopeless one and
that II the improvement extended to
every, mile Of road in the nation the
cost would exceed the actual value OF
the land and the farm products put to-
gethef.
There are 100000 miles of road in the
United States to be improved. 1t would
cost $4,000, 100000 to macadamize these
roads and $500, 900 900 a year to keen
them in repair.
These figures are the first results OF
the investigations made by the commits
sion provided for under the terms of the
Bourne post offices and post roads bill
passed at the last session Of Congress.
Prof. Hays and Logan Waller Page, d.
rector Of the once Of Public Roads of
the Department Of Agriculture, held a
conference yesterday on these figures and
practically decided that extensive road
Improvement is impracticable on the
present basis.

trees per acre would not be large for
many years, until the trees come into
bearing. Under such conditions, an or
chard of value might be obtained by q
farmer who would have given up the
attempt under the more exacting re-
quirements Of tillage orchard. There
Is also more or less special satisfaction
in putting to valuable use part of the
farm which otherwise seemed to be going
to ruin through the decline of the pas
turage or encroachment of brush growth.
1t would certainly be wrong to dis
courage every attempt to start an or
chard on rough land, but it should be
also said that great many such or.
cllards fail because of neglect even of
the apparently simple requirements of
the mulch and fertilizng system. In
starting an orchard as business under
taking, there is little doubt but that it
would pay to obtain good land easily
titled, to prepare it thoroughly for the
trees, to grow crops between the trees
for five or six years and then cultivate
in by blowing and narrowing the first
part of the season, and raising a cover
crop, such as clover or vetch, the last
part of the season.

APPLE ORCHARD CULTIVATION.
A Conflict of Opinion--Success Reported
on Pasture and Brush Land.

| The letters from apple orchardists al
published recently seem to have puzzled
several of the readers from the fact that
growers considered good authority APP
peared to give contrary advice regarding
the desirability of apple orchards set
where cultivation cannot be practiced
saws the American Cultivator.
Thus we have the experience of j. II.
Hale OF Connecticut. With his many
acres of fruit trees under varying con-
ditions, he advises emphatieally not to
set apple trees where they cannot be
well cultivated On the other hand, we
have the large Eames orchards in Mas
sachusetts, where success is claimed on
pasture and brush land, with no cultiva-
ton at all, but with annual mulching,
fertilizing and spraying instead. The
writer has this summer visited these
orchards, also the rough land orchard of
Prof. S. T. Maynard in central Massa-
chusetts. and he draws the conclusion
that the two sets of authorities are not
wholly in disagreement. The question
seems to be one of comparative success.
Mr.. Eames and Prof. Maynard assert
with truth that trees can be made to
grow fairly well without cultivation.
They have good, hardy, healthy trees
on land that has never been stirred since
the trees were set.
Some of these in the Eames orchard
were set nine years ago, and are bear
ing from one to two bushels of apples
this year. The land was ordinary New
England pasture land, rather steep and
stony. The trees. nearly all Baldwins,
f,, he.
we're mulched nearly every year with
a couple of forkfuls each of meadow
hay. They were given also few pounds
OF mixed chemical fertilizer yearly, and
the trunks were surrounded with a lit
tie mound of coal ashes to protect them
from borers, mice, etc; they were also
sprayed the same as other trees. Prof.
Maynard also has some good trees in
rough land, a piece of pasture. which
has grown up to bushes, etc. The care
of this orchard. however, has been more
OF less uneven and some of the trees
suffered from neglect. The owner is firm
IN his belief that good growth can be
obtained provided plenty of chemical
plant food is supplied He even claims
that the growth could be nearly as rap
ii a. under cultivation. But Prof. May
nard and Mr.. Eames both advise tillage
Il the land is fairly easy TO cultivate.
In regard TO those rough land orchards, |
Mr. Hale would no doubt say that never !
helcss il would have paid well 20 culti- I
ate the land or rather to have put the /
rees on land that could be cultivated 1
Il a moderate expense. since the extra 4

naught yesterday afternoon opened Par
lament for the 1923 session. The
galleries were crowded with visitors from
New York, Chicago, Detroit, Buffalo and
other American centers, and also with
many from Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton
and outside Canadian points. His royal
highness in addressing the members re-
ferred to the great prosperity of Canada
and touched on current issues. The roy
al standard was flying while the vice
regal party inclusive of the duke, the
duchess, Princess Patricia and others
were present.
The government program this session
Is heavy and an eight months session
is likely. Among the outstanding issues
will be the navy question; il being ru-
mored Premier Borden will propose a
vote of s30,00O,000 or S35,000,000 to the
imperial navy support.
There are some expectations that the
recent Democratic victory and change
OF government in the States will mate
rally benefit some Canadian centers, as
it means possibility of more favorable
tariff measures.
The Panama canal bill will be dis
cussed, but any action taken will be
in conjunction with the British govern
ment.
