Fewer Fruit Trees
Noted in AibemurIe

CHARIOT TESvILLE. Va,
Sept. 20 Especially They've cut
down the old apple trees in Al
Ibemarle County.
According to recent Virginia
Department of Agriculture Sur
Ivey, there are 46 per cent fewer
apple trees in the county than in
1919. In that year, the survey
showed. there were 1873, 900 trees;
now there are only about $1,000.
Peach trees have declined at
nearly the same rate, with a 4
per cent decrease from the 1949
figure. There now are about 1O9,-
500 peach trees Of all ages and
varieties.
During the past seven years
Ireplanting in both apples and
peaches have picked up, but not
enough to make UP for the de-
crease In each. The survey
showed there are now about
twice as many young apple trees
as there were in 1949 and about
three times as many peach trees
The number of apple orchards
has decreased by almost half,
the survey revealed. In 1949, 1877
commercial orchards were re-
ported, but only SO in 1856.

did not summon the captain or

The Doria sank in the crash
and the Stockholm suffered

He said he first sighted the

He said he plotted the course

we must" do these things:
l. Maintain our military

2. Perfect this military

the least possible penalty upon

3. Act in knowledge that peace

and his party on the plane.
He said the committee paid for
use Of the Columbine on basis
equivalent to what it would cost
to charter a commercial plane.
He explained that the Columbine
was used in preference to a
commercial plane because it has
special communications equip
ment necessary for the President
to keep in constant touch with
Washington.
Mr.. Hagerty said that, as usual
on any presidential trips, the
Army Signal Corps would man
and maintain communications
equipment wherever Mr.. Eisen-
hover is on political trips to keep
him in touch with the White
House.
Separate Phone Account
But a system has been set UP,
he added, under which any tele-
phone calls made through the
Signal Corps switchboard by the
President or his staff for political
purposes will go on a separate
account to be paid for by the
Republican National Committee.
He said the committee paid
5000 for use Of Signal Corps
sound equipment in connection
with the Presidents speech to a
