Doubtless there win be many com
pletely motorized batteries before the

Much shorter poles are used than with
horses. the end OF the pole being pro

coupling for the tractor, Each tractor
pulls II load of about nine tons.
The vehicles used are the six trucks

tor and a Dodge Brothers touring car.
The entire brigade. as proposed by
the war department, viii be composed
, Of three regiments having a maximum
strength of 3.GS5 officers and men. IL
viii have 72 guns and los caissons.
TO keep this equipment working will
require los ammunition trucks, 81 store
trucks, 80 tractors, 3 repair trucks, Il
repair cars. passenger trucks. . tank
trucks. and 81 supply trucks, all motor
driven. In addition to these vehicles
the brigade has 297 motorcycles with
side cars and 30 reel carts.
The adoption Of universal motorized
equipment Is the acknowledged desire
of military authorities. The fixed rail

WAR AND THE APPLE CROP.
Caused Shortage in Europe to Bene-
fit Of American Grower.

Leslie's: The war in Europe will ben
eilt the American apple grower mate
rally. due to the fact that the three
years % hostilities have resulted in the
destruction and neglect of apple or
chards throughout that continent. with
the obvious result that buyers can
look only to. this country for their
needs. Northern France, for example
before the war produced fine apples
most of which were exported. Today
that territory is virtually destitute of
apple as well as other orchards. Such
trees as We're not blasted by gunfire.
or ruined by poisonous gases and con,
hagration. have been cut down by the
retreating Germans. The hills and
mountains of northern Italy were prior
TO the conflict in that country produc-
tive of high grade variety OF apples
which were eagerly purchased by deal
ers. These orchards have suffered as
have those Of France. Russia was a
producing power in the apple trade of
Europe and its climate and soil are es-
pecially adapted to raising this fruit.
Industrial and political decentralization,
together with a heavy depletion of the
man power of this wonderful land, have
eliminated Russia from this line of en-
deavor. China does not grow apples,
neither is the fruit raised for CONNER
cial purposes In any part Of Asia. In
the aLtin-American nations Chile alone
raises apples. but enough only for home
consumption. Incidentally, l may state,
that the Gillian apple is without a peer
anywhere. and. being ripe at time
when our apples are out of season. the
possibilities In this line alone are really
wonderful but up to the present no
one has taken advantage of the situa-
ton.
As competitors in the apple industry
the United States has only Canada and
New Zealand to consider. The produc'
ton of the former is small and railway
freights from interior points are liable
TO prohibit the expectation of apples
to great extent, while the long dis
tance that New Zealand has to bring
her fruit to market initiates against
her ever being a serious factor in the
trade. - a consequence our position
today is IDEAL and IL we take advantage
of conditions there is no reason why
this country cannot dominate this
trade for years to come.
Through proper advertising and mar
keting campaigns. which should be
started Immediately. the entire world
can be made to eat American apples.
