PLANS FOR STRONGER NAVY.
Battleship to Oost l8,OOO.000-8ub-
msrlnss for Pacific.
Wellington, Feb. : 28. Secretory
Meyer, of the navy department, la
said to hav told the house naval
committee today of pinna of building a
world's record-breaking battleship of
82,000 tons displacement at a coat of
$18,000,000 and making the United
States the leading naval power.
Members of the committee said that
th secretary's radical plsns were
favorably received by tit committee.
The secretary did not refer to naval
strength n numbers of ships or srma-
ment, but to various features of im
provement of ths efficiency of ships
and guns. '
Ths building of the nmnnscd riant
battleship la dcluyed until next yesr
only becsuse the naval experiments
with 14-Inch guns have not been com
pleted, and the department desires to
know the result of full experiments.
Tentatively, it is planned to arm the
great battleship with a battery of
fourteen U-imh guns of the laleat
type. , , . .... -
The secretary said that plans for en
largement of all the drydocks of the
country, ss outlined to the committee
some weeks ago, were made in contem
plation of the great enlargement of the
battleships snd ha wsnted the docks
built to sccommodate ships of great
site.
It was tentatively sgreed that the
nsval Increase this year, baaed on the
secretary's recommendations, shall be
aa follows: Two 2",0K)-u.n battle
ships, equipped either with 12 or 14-
lnrh guns; one regular ship, two col
liers and five aubmarines.
The submarines are for th Pacific
coast, and are the first of a fast fleet
of these vessels which will be provided
in the next few years. The plsn to
place ten siklltiunsl submarines on the
acirtc coast next waa considered fav
orably.
Iheae submarines will be one of the
fastest yet launched, and will be cap
able of making a speed under water of
12 knots sn hour.
A member of the committee said
that the government had unofficial In
formation to the effect that Japan ia
laying the keela of two great battle
ships approaching the 82,000 ton
limit, lie said the tonnage of the
great battleship under consideration
would depend to s great extent upon
the weight of the batteries of the huge
14-inch guns, which would be placed
on this ship.

HAPPENINGS FROM
8IX SPRAYINGS NEEDED.
Corvslll Msn Qivss Program for Up-
to-Ost Orcherdlsts.
Portland - Professor John C. Brid-
well, head of the department of en
tomology at the Oregon Agricultural
college, speaking before the Apple
Culture elubtm the subject of "The
Insect Pest of Young Orchards,"
dwelt on the different pests which in
fect the orchard of the Willamette
valley and outlined moan for their ex
termination. The iteculiaritic and habit of the
following posts were described: San
Jose scale, wooly aphis, apple and
wheat aphis, brown apple aphis, apple
trce borers, grasahoppera and climbing
cut worms. In tolling of the proper
sprays to be used In the battle against
fruit tree pests, he said :
The aummer etrcngth lime sprsy
should be diluted 24 time and the win-
tor strvnirth 12 time. Lead srsenate
should be used in the proportion of two
bounds to every CO gallon of material
'A regular routine oi six spray is
almost necessary to prevent the rsv
aeea of oesU in the Willamette valley.
The first snrsy for the scab should be
applied when the petals begin to show
color: the second spray for codlin moth
and scab after the petals have fallen;
the third sprsy of lime sulphur for
scab alone two weeka after the aec
ond sprsy; the fourth sprsy of lead
arsensto about July 1 for the coal in
moth; the fifth apray should be used
In winter strength, after the fruit is
nicked.
The apple ire borers louna in
healthy tree ar round-headed. Flat-
headed borers are found only in un
healthy treea. The best way to pre
vent the work of the borer hi to wrap
newaMipers sround the trunks of the
treea.
In order to keep the San Jose scale
from spreading, all young atock sold
should bear a certificate of inspection,
and all atock not Inspected should, be
rejected and not planted."

AROUND OREGON
SPEAK ON APPLE CULTURE.
Or. 8. A. Robinson, of Old . Virginia,
Praia Oregon Apples.
Portland -Members of th Portland
Apple Growers club were afforded an
opportunity to listen to two addresses
at the regular meeting at the Y. M, C.
A. recently. M. O. Lownsdsle, of La
fayette, owner of on of the Urgent
apple orchards In the Willamette val
ley and having 30 years' experience in
raising apples, was the first speaker.
He was followed by an addres by Dr.
8. A. Robinson, vice-president of the
State Horticultural society of Virginia,
and a member of the Royal society of
England.
Dr. Robinson tolling why Oregon
applea bring the higheat price in the
market of the world said in part;
"You in Oregon sr being taught to
underestimate your competitor. There
are a number of section which you
must take Into account Canada, along
the St. Lawrence river and around the
Great Lakes, Nova Scotia and few
other section are as productive as the
Pacific Northwest and while the applea
of these section do not compare with
the first and second pack of Oregon
they are a good commercial apple. But
your apples are the beat and it ia be
cause they are the beat that they draw
the great price.
"The production of strictly fsncy
apple will never be overdone. They
will always meet demand command
ing a high price, both because of the
small area fitted for such apple and
on account of the increasing popula
tion which is demanding the highest
priced applea. In New York City
few years ago I aaw apple piled on
the docks, simply glutting the market
snd with a greater quantity sent in
than ever before. They were being
sold good commercial apple for 76
cent a barrel. Two trainloada of ap
ples were left standing unopened. But
with this glutted market Oregon ap
ple were being held at $3.60 to $4.00
a bushel box and the dealers were glad
to get them at that price. That ahows
the way Oregon apple are thought of
in the East and what will be paid for
the very beat
"Now. I am from Virignia, where
we can grow a very high grade of ap
ple. But there 1 no fear of Virginia
being competitor of your lor gen
eration at least. The reason I wouia
give a hereditary inertia although
there are some who msy auo u notw
worm.' At any rate, wey win noi
develop their land and the proprietor
of the soil, the son and grandsons of
slaveowners, have such a great amount
of personal individuality that they
cannot be msde to co-operate, and co
operation such aa you have at Hood
River is an absolute essential to the
success of the apple industry.
