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:

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

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.

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

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.
For a now orchard of small trees
tho scheme contemplates applying
thn fertilizer tho first yenr over a
clrclo arjund each tree, say threo
feet In dlamotoi- nnd each succeeding
year applying to n circle of one foot
ladlus outnldo of tho limits' of tho
preceding uppllrrtlon up to th
twentieth year, then applying liroad
emit,
In tho enmi of nn old orchard thn
whole niii'fuco would ho treated each
year, 50 pouudii per treo being ap
plied the flint year and 115 pounds
annually thereafter,
