THURSDAY, JULY 28, 1910. 21 .900 CARS IS WESTERN CROP Fruit Brokers of New York Compile Estimate on Apples West of the Rocky MountainsEastern Part Is Scattering. NEW YORK, July 21. (Special Correspondence.) After carefully canvassing the offices of the fruit brokers of this city their reports com piled show that there will bo 21,900 cars of boxed apples from the west this year. Ab tl'ero are 600 boxes to the car, this means 13,-40,000 boxes "These will b divided as follews: States Cars. Colorado, west of Rockies .. . 4,000 Colorado, cast of Rockies . . . 1,500 Washington 6,000 California 6,000 Oregon 2,000 Idaho .... 1,200 Utah 500 Now Mexico 400 Montana 300 Total 21,900 Last year these same sections pro duced tho follewing: States Cars. California 6,000 Colorado ; 5,500 Washington 1,200 Oregon 400 Now Mexico Washington Montana . . . 350 200 200 Total 14,500 This shows an Increase of 50 per cent. The counties in California which produce the apples are Hum boldt, Sonoma, Santa Cruz Santa Clara, San Diego. These couples lost year actually shipped 2S69Ht$rloads. The counties In Oregon wmch pro duce the apples are Jackson, Dauglas, Marlon, Wasco, Umatilla, Grant, Union, Yamhill. It is in these coun ties that the famous Newtown Pippins are grown and there will be 100,000 boxes, this year against 25,000 last year. Colorado apple points are Grand Junction, Fiuita, Clifton and Rifle, Paonla, Hotchklss and Mt. Rose. These are all on tho western slope, while on the eastern slope are Free- mont and Boulder counties. Mr. White says that Ganos from1 Colorado We nro on tho mr.rkot today selling at I $1(01.12 and there arc sonj'i Vash- ington WInosnps In transit. Now Mexico has a bettor crop than last season, there being three coun ties In which apples nro grown, San j Juan, San Miguel and Chaves. It hns been stated that Europo will want 4,000,000 boxes of apples this year. Tho greatest number that Eu rbpo has over taken In any ono year was 520,000 boxes. Unices Europo largely Increases Its supply of tho 13,000,000 boxes of apples produced In the west half must bo oaten In tho states. Tho bumper applo crop of JS96 Is remembered by all dealers. That year there were 66,000,000 barrels, and good stock sold on tho docks hero at 75c, A large portion went to tho driers, elder mills and many were thrown away. In 1S96 tho bannnas Imported wero worth $4,300,000 and they are now worth $SO,000,000 a year. This Is the only foreign fruit which reaches the United States freo of duty and the customs value Is at the price for -which tho bananas are bought at loading station, 15 25c a bunch, and they sell hem from $1 up. America grows every year In the consumption of fruit. In 1S96 citrus shipments from tho coast amounted lo l.aoo carloads ana last season there were 40,097 carloads. Some estimate tho coming citrus crop at 50.000 carloads. In 1S96 thcro were no Porto Rice oranges. Last sea son there were quantities of tho Cali fornia and Florida oranges frozen, which largely curtail tho consumption of apples. Had r.U tho oranges been good that tv ere shipped tho applo market would probably have finished at SI a barrel Instead of $4. People will not eat oranges that have been frozen and corsequentl turn to ap ples. Last year the prlco t early apples end pears was high. Tho trade seem etd to forget the enormous peach crop In western New York. Reports show that there is just as good a peach crop there as 1-st year. There may be a shortage of early apples from Ohio and Iowa which suffered from the April freezo, but there will bo plenty of apples both In the east and In the west. Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire and New York all havo plenty of winter apples as well as all other kinds of fruits. Should there be an apple crop as large as 1S96 they will have to go at low prices. er, cheaper or more -widely ad&pta-1 ble than want ad service.

E MOST FLEXIBLE Many Different Interpretations Have Been Put Upon It by Different Stato Department Heads Again Has Bobbed Into the Limelight. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 2S. Recent dlplomttlc developments and International discussions Involving the attltudo of European powers especially Germany toward Nicara gua have brought tho Mouroo doc trine into tho world's spotlight again and the impression is strong that it will soon bo given n now application. Tho Monroe doctrlno Is nn clastic diplomatic garment not so elastic ns tho popular Imagination depicts It, but capable of so much stretching, when occasion demands, that it will fit n multltudo of situations however different. There has not beon an ad ministration slnco Its Inception in which this guiding principle has not been hauled out of its historic ro- cesses to do- service In connection ' with ono difficulty or another, and ! indications are that President Taft's will be no exception from this rulo. The Monroe doctrlno is already spoken of as a most suitable diplo matic habiliment to enfold tho in ternational eyesore, into which the chaos of Nicarrgua Is fast develop ing, whllo the United States restores order and sets the struggling republic oa Its feet again. Agitation has al ready begun xo In tho Pan-American conference on the part of the Latin American governments which owo much of their development to Its ex istence, to mrko the doctrine now merely a declaration of tho United States, a guiding principle for the entire western hemisphere. Such a political profession of fair would mark a new era for tho two Ameri cas. There is little doubt that tho Mon roe doctrine of tho present day con tains much that was not contemplat ed by the president who first gave it formal expression. Each administra tion in a crisis has tacked a new meaning on it or stretched an old meaning to greater lengths until it I una uctuuiu .i tuai ui uiuuj tvium, but none tho less a stout garment ! lj t-M . -. . . . .T..u. and chowlng no sign of wear, President Monroe In his message MONO CRIN of Decombor 2, 1S83, said: "Tho ocen slon has beon Judged proper for as serting as a principle In which tho rights and Inlet eats of tho United I Stntno iih, !......

FERTILIZATION OF " ORCHARDS IS THEME WASHINGTON', July 2S.--A pro cess of fertilisation for applo orch ards which brings tho cost down to 13.25 per acre him been worked out by tho United States Department of Agriculture. Tho fertilizer Is coinpoNcd of nl- j trato of soda, dried, blood, murliito or aulphnto of potash and bono meal, Tho percentage of tho mixture- would bo for tho first eight years, 10 per cent of nltrnto of soda, 20 per cent each of dried blood and potash ) and 50 per cent of bono meal. After eight years the nitrate and dried blood would be cut dovn ono-hnlf the potash remains tho same nnd the bono meal Increased 05 per cent. During the first eight years tho mixture tdiould bo applied annually at the rate of one-fourth pound per square yard of surface. After the eighth year this should be 3 ounce por squnro yard to tho twentieth year. Then apply 25 pounds per tree por year broadcast, covering the en tiro surfaco and working It In with spring cultivation. Clovers, red or crimson, are the best grnnHos for or chards In tho opinion of agricultural experts. Wood ashes may bo used In tho plnco of muriate or sulphnto of potash In tho rntlo of 1000 pounds of tho former rr.d 200 pounds of tho latter, but should not ho mixed with tho othor fortillzor.
