The War and the Apple Crop

The war in Europe will benefit the Amer
ican apple grower, and incidentally the New
Mexico applegrower. materially, due to the
fact that the three years of hostilities have
resulted In the destruction and neglect Of
apple orchards 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, says a writer in Les
lies, that territory is virtually destitute Of
apple as well as other orchards. Such trees
as were not blasted by gunfire. or ruined
by poisonous gases and conflagration, have
been cut down by the retreating Germans.
The hills and mountains of northern Italy
were prior to the conflict in that country
productive Of a high-grade variety of apples
which were eagerly purchased by dealers.
These orchards, have suffered as have those
Of France. Russia was producing power
in the apple trade of Europe and it's climate
and soil are especially adapted to raising
this fruit. Industrial and political demorali-
cation, together with a heavy depletion of
the man power of this wonderful land, have
eliminated Russia from this line of endea-
vor. China does not grow apples, neither
is the fruit raised for commercial purposes
in any part of Asia. In the Latin-American
nations Chile alone raises apples, but enough
only for home consumption. Incidentally
I may state that the Chilean apple is with.
out a peer anywhere, and, being ripe at a
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 situation. y
AS competitors in the apple industry the
United States has only Canada and New Yea
land to consider. The production of the for
mer is small and railway freights from in
terror points are liable to prohibit the ex
portation of apples to a great extent, while
the long distance that New Zealand has
to bring her fruit to market initiates
against her ever being a serious factor in
the trade. As a consequence our position
today is ideal and if we take advantage OF
conditions there is no reason why this coun-
try cannot dominate this trade for years to
come.
Through proper advertising and market
ing campaigns, which should be started i'm
rnediately, the entire world can be made to
eat American apples.

Wreck Of a German U-Boat

(By Gertrude Lynch OF The Vigilantes)
Paris.-I am the first and only American
allowed to visit a German U-boat, lying
upon an isolated strip of the chan.
mel coast.
To reach this frightful thing, our party Of
journalists walked a half mile OF beach
along which we were repeatedly challenged
by English and Belgian sentinels. Just at
the side of a headland which shut off the
view of Calais harbor the monster lay--a
sinister, menacing object, seeming to typify
the very essence Of the Prussian soul,
humiliation.
This U-boat 81 had been crippled by a
blow from a French torpedo and had finally
been forced to run ashore-to the custody
of a French Commandment.
The sea-air still Held the odor of tho
petrol by which all that might be useful
had been destroyed by its crew-electrical|
apparatus, microphone, telephone, periscope.
all personal belongings. About the beach
are scattered thousands Of pieces of metal;
twisted and torn, while the aft part Of the
Usboat, SCARED and blackened, seems like
the half-destroyed body of a leviathan.
Eighteen ~torpedoes were found, six were
missing. At first the captain of the U-boat
stated that he had been 10 days away from
his base and had sailed about the coast or
Scotland. The French commandment said he
did not believe him, and the German officer
made a later statement in which he told
how he had come the night before from
Zeebrugge, the base.
The night beforehand six torpedoes were
missing!
1t is horror as 1t lies on the Calais sand.
II seems to cry out to its companions to
averige Its loss, to do the awful deeds it has
left dndoiie. The sea-birds fly about it, the
waves break ON the shingle-and We who
stand and stare seem to hear the voices Of
the little children it has murdered.

A Good Start

New Mexico is entitled to pat herself on
the back. The state has invested nearly
100000 in Liberty Bonds before the sec
ond drive is actually under way. No other
state in the union has equalled the feat. 1t
is a substantial token by the state of that
same spirit which has been SO splendidly
exemplified by the people of the state. 1t
will give the East a new light on New
Mexico patriotism. The gentlemen who
engineered the matter to a successful con
clusion are entitled to congratulations.

HIS FIRST RussER HEELS

How strange a fellow always feels
When first he puts on rubber heels.
A subtle something seems to be
Subtracted from his honesty
As he goes p~ussyfooting round
Without the shadow Of a SOUND.

A movement sheriockhofmesified.
Till now he's always been quite proud
OF sounding like a srnait-sixed crowd
As he ~proceeded, and, today
A chufn seems missing on his way.
He comes behind, and people jump
When there's no warning cIurnp, clump,
cIump!
And many matters reach his ear
That weren't meant for him to hear.
He quickly learns to say "Ahem!v
That folks may know he's nearing them;
And even then some people scowi,
Suspicious OF his silent prowi.
So, after one full day of it,
He's feeling wonderfully fit
