specialists in peach production.
and Horace Roberts and his sons
are masters Of a dozen or more
farms devoted to apples, peaches
and vegetables. They have adopt
ed the Repp method of liberal fer
tilization and little pruning. They
grow legumes, tomatoes and other
crops, instead of weeds, in their
orchards.
The Barton Brothers take the
lead in growing peaches, and by
their methods, which include
spraying with self-boiled ime-sul-
phur solution, their orchards are
annually well loaded with fruit.
They also raise apples and vege-
tables with marked success. They
find vetch a good cover crop for
their orchards and SOW it rather
early in the season at the rate Of
ten pounds of seed per acre.
Horace Roberts might be said to
make a speciality of apples, except
for the fact that he raises great
quantities of peaches, Strawberries,
tomatoes, string beans, watermel-
ons, and other crops with the same
success as he raises apples.
The beans are grown in the or
chards and do not interfere with
the cultivation Of the orchard, the
spraying, or with the yield Of
fruit. They are shipped to dis
tant markets by the carload. To-
matoes are grown down the straw
berry rows the first year. In other
words, while the strawberry plants
are growing, the land produces a
crop of tomatoes. Besides the fruit
and vegetables that are sold at the
nearby exchange, or shipped in car
lots, Mr.. Roberts keeps teams on
the road hauling his goods to the
P Philadelphia market. He also has
an auto truck that takes about 100
bushels to a load and makes sever
al trips per day. Of apples, he
has many early and summer va

among the fruit that was ready
for market, nor even among the
culls. The products of all the Rob
erts' farms last year sold for $50,

MARTIN TAKES UP
FIGHT FOR POTTS
INTRODUCES BILL IN SENATE TO
RESTORE "PLUCKED" CAP -
TAIN TO NAVY.

WASHINGTON. July Ex-senator
Martin, of Virginia, this afternoon In
.roduced a bill to restore Captain
Templin NJ. Potts to the active list of
the navy.
The case of Captain Potts attracted
a great deal Of attention In h last
two weeks following his selection
for retirment by the naval plucking
board.
The friends OF Captain Potts main
tain that he has e made h VIC
tim of an unfortunate chain of cir
cumstances. There IL no disposition. II
is stated, to crIticise the new admins
trat.on IN any a but II Is felt that by
a unique combination Captain Potts
has ~innocently suffered and made to
pay a heavy penalty for obeying the
orders of the previous administration
OF the navy department under which
he was retained in Washington in
stead OF being allowed sea service of
sufficient attention to insure promo
ton. Lack of s%uficient service at sea
was the only drawback TO his promo
ton after he had passed the exam!na-
ton for promotion in March last.
