Belcher's squadron. These relics Of
Arctic disaster were discovered on
the north end Of Bylott's island. in the
Arctic sea.
Captain Bernier believes that these
relics were part of the Pioneer or the
Intrepid of Sir Edward Belcher's
squadron. Three vessels in the Belch-
er squadron were not accounted for,
the Pioneer, the Intrepid and the As
sistant The Pioneer was abandoned
in the Arctic and all on board were
lost.
Another relic of the Arctic found by
Captain Bernier's crew is a spear from
Sir John Franklin's expedition, which
drifted in on the tide in Erebus bay,
North Devon island, the bay being
named after the Franklin ship Erebus.
It is a wooden spear with iron point
and the name Erebus stamped upon it.
The spear from the Franklin expedi-
ton was probably lost overheard in a
storm and drifted. swept on by ice
and tide, to Erebus bay. The wreck
of the Erebus was found on O'Reilly
island, south of Victoria strait. by Els.
kimos years ago.
For fifteen days Captain Bernier and
members of his Arctic expedition on
board the Guide were caught in the ice
of Melville bay, in latitude rs. After
battling with huge masses Of ice drift
ing down from the north for two weeks
the Guide managed to get free from
the ice packs and make her way into
the open sea.
An interesting theory Of a route to
the pole for a vessel is advanced by
Captain Bernier, and is based upon
deductions made from his discoveries
of relics of marine disasters in the
Arctic and study of the polar tides. He
believes that, starting from a certain
point in the Arctic, a ship well equip
ped can make the voyage from ocean
to ocean and to the Pole.
Thinks Ship Can Reach Pole.
Capt. George De Long was a pio-
neer in the field of Arctic exploration.

Pecan orchards, say specialists IN
the United States department OF agri-
culture, probably offer possibilities OF
profit in almost any fertile and we'll
drained portion Of the area included
In the southern portions of the CUR
states and the eastern portions OF the
South Atlantic states. Many thrifty
young orchards are already scattered
over this area. North Of lower Vir'
ginia the pecan tree Is not often found
and 1t does not thrive in mountainous
sections or In lowlands where water
stands On or near the surface OF the
ground for q considerable period. A
deep. fertile soil, sufficiently porous to
admit of free root growth and well
drained. but by no means dry. is best
adapted to the trees.
The pecan does not reproduce itself
true to seed. It must. therefore, be
budded or grated in the same way
that apples. peaches. oranges and 9TH

gives detailed instructions for the
more common forms of grating and
budding. 1t Is pointed out In this
bulletin, however. that the processes
involved require much experience and
skill and that 1t Is better, wherever
this can be done. for the orchardist to
purchase his stock from some reput-
able nursery instead Of attempting to
propagate it himself. Under certain
circumstances, however. the pecan
grower must do this work himself and
