lically all truck crops do heller on
a sandy loam soil than on one that
is sticky ami heavy. Larger-sized
crops, however, such as cabbage, to

ashes are used largely for lite physi
cal effect in brenking up a compact,
heavy soil. Such ashes do not take
tlie place of fertilizer.

is still more beneficial in breaking
up heavy soil becuuse this improves

Capterton "got there" then, and he
has heen "getting there" ever since.
No man In the navy, perhaps, has had
moro varied and inoro important
work to do than Caperton, and his
reputation for "getting there" still
stands,
A native of Tennessee, born in
1855, Caperton was graduated from
the naval academy In 1S75. He was
commissioned ensign on August 3,
1877, and mado his first cruise ill the
Hartford.
Ho served In every grade and on
many ships all over the world, reach
ing tho grade of rear admiral Febru
ary 13, 1913. When, on July 29,
1910, Hear Admiral Cunieron Mcllea
Winslow retired as commander of the
Pacific fleet, Caperton, then com
manding the cruiser squadron of the
Atlantic fleet, was apoplnted to suc
ceed him, and became an admiral
one ot tho three in active comamnd
of tho throe American fleets.
Capertou's most recent Job in the
navy was the landing of armed force
at Port au Prince, Haiti, "to enforce
order and protect life and property,"
on President Wilson's order.
Amlral Caperton'a specialty in tho
navy Is ordinance. Ho is one of the
best ordinance experts Uncle Sain
ever had. From 1887 to 18S9 he was
inspector of steel at a steel works In
Plitshtirsi from 1SS9 to 1S91 ho was
