Oldest Apple Orchard.

From the American Forestry Magazine.
Americas oldest apple orchard, so far
dis known. Is q group of trees in q re-
mote hamlet OF the Mangano mountains
of central New Mexico. The origin of
this orchid is lost in antiquity. How II
came there, whence the seed, who the
planter, are questions that go unan-
swered.
The word "rnanzano" is Spanish for
apple tree, and "manzano' means ap-
pie. II Is believed that the New Mexico
orchard was started by one Fra Geron-
imo De la Llama. a missionary from
Mexico, who In 1885 came to Quarai,
f1ves miles below the present hamlet Of
Manzana. There was at Manzana, it Is
said, q wonderful spring. and 1t ts be-
neved that the Spanish priest planted
the orchard near the spring. -,
Although this early settlement was
abandoned for more than a century be-
cause of Apache raids. the orchard
grew on. AS it stands today, II Is In
two groups, one Of fifty trees, the other
OF sixteen trees. The trees are of
'sprout" growths, many of them In
groups Of two or three starting from a
Common center. They still bear fruit,
although the apples are small.
= The guardian of the orchard today Is
Rev. Jose Gauthier, French padre,
who has served the Manzana towns
people for the last twenty-five years.
The orchard is the property Of the local
church.

Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK. October CAS- the
country moves deeper into the fall
season. business Is divesting Itself
of the apprehension which character
lied its mood all through the summer.
The ending of the summer pause and
the settling down to definite fail plans
seem to. have had steadying affect.
Business men are beginning to un-
derstand that the. slump in securi-
ties is without significance as a pre-
ctisor OF dull days, ahead:
Apparel Trades Active. -;
The apparel trades are exhibiting
their usual seasonal activity. espe-
cially. in clothing. wooden and silk
goods, shoes and jewelry. -.
The buying power of the country
continues high, and the buying dis,
position continues to grow.
Department store sales In every
branch, except woolen goods; chain
store sales in every .line-apparel,
grocery, shoe. drug and cigar-and
mail order sales are well ahead of
last year
wholesale trade is not only better
than last year. but, shows an advance
over beth July and August.
Housing Serious Feature.
In this whole prosperous landscape
the one disturbing feature is the
housing. New York is improving her
housing facilities. but at q tremendous
cost of tax exemption. The assessors
have just reported over $500 .00o, 900 in
recently built homes exempt. from
municipal levies. 1t had been generally
supposed that the rest of the country
had brought rent raising to stand
still Nevertheless. the national indus
trial conference board has just re-
ported another advance in working
mems rents OF per cent over August,
1922.
Rent Adjustments Great Need.
Employers and merchants generally
are coming to believe that this whole
subject of housing and rent adjusting
Is. in need of constructive thought.
The chief difficulty lies in the high
cost efproduction and replacement OF
course But back of this Is the primi-
tive process of home construction.
And still further back of this lies a
stubborn resistance on, the part of
building trade labor and. small build
ing contractors to modern innovations.
