A SECOND GREAT FLEET Forming on Atlantic, More Powerful than Entire Navy During Spanish War—Japan for Peace The powerful fleet of United States battleships now steaming majestically southward on the peace cruise to the Pacific answers such an imposing roll call as to number of ships, tonnage, number of guns carried and weight of metal thrown, that the assumption on the part of some that the Atlantic seaboard is left unprotected may be excused in the light of the Pacific fleet's magnificence and might. The fact remains, however, that while "Fighting Bob" Evans is looking after the Pacific coast, the Atlantic seaboard is not unprotected. In fact, there is either in service or under construction, or soon to be ready for service on the Atlantic sea coast, despite the depletion caused by the transfer of the great fleet to the Pacific, another fleet that will compare favorably with any that any world power can assemble in any quarter of the globe, and a fleet that in numbers, power and tonnage, far surpasses the fighting strength of the United States when the Spanish war broke out. A summary of the vessels in reserve include: Ten battleships, eight protected cruisers, three swift American. This is due to battle, but the United States so exceed the Japanese strength and numbers that no question of the American priority. I consider that the order of war between Japan and the United States is quite excluded." Admiral Rojestvensky's statement that the United States naval on the ships now on their way to Pacific were less competent fighters than the Japanese, a stir in naval circles at Washington. It read almost like a challenge efficiency and called for quick by friends of the navy. Commodore Nebolsine, naval attache of the Russian embassy, was one of the differ from the conclusion du the Russian admiral. "Admiral Rojestvensky is position to make any success," said Nebolsine, "as he has none of the late evidences progress in the United States and can know little or nothing of the naval officers' fighting we JAPAN ON PEACE FOOTING As a result of an extra session of the cabinet at Tokyo new budget was adopted state council.

A summary of the vessels in reserve include: Ten battleships, eight protected cruisers, three swift scout cruisers, three gunboats, six torpedo boats, two submarines. The boats are: Battleships: Mississippi, completed, 13,000 tons, four 12-inch, eight 8-inch and eight 7-inch guns. Idaho, completed, 13,000 tons,four 12-inch, eight 8-inch and eight 7-inch guns.

At the outbreak of the Spanish war the United States had in commission only four battleships, the Oregon, Iowa, Indiana and Massachusetts. The Texas, rated as a battleship, was really second-class. The best of the cruisers were the New York and Brooklyn. It will be seen that this fleet, soon to be effective, will far eclipse the fighting sea strength of the government when Spain went to war. Hardly will Admiral Evans have cleared the local waters of the United States before the assembling of the reserve fleet will commence. By the first of the year the first division of the new fleet will be under tentative formation, to be known as "The Third Squadron of the Atlantic fleet." Admiral Rojesventsky who commanded the Baltic fleet on its cruise to the Far East, speaking of the American navy, said in St. Petersburg: "The personnel of the Japanese navy, man for man, is now undoubtedly more efficient than the URGES FARMERS' SYNDICATE In the South of France 32,000 Farmers Combine to Buy Fertilizer and Apply It to the soil After Chemical Analysis J. O. Royer, the West End capitalist, is a firm believer in co-operation and favors the formation of a syndicate of farmers to purchase fertilizer by the unit, as well as an enlightened use of the same upon different soils. He believes the walnut blight can be controlled, if not entirely eradicated, by the intelligent use of fertilizer, arguing upon the hypothesis that a healthy human is able to throw off disease to which a weaker would succumb, so a healthy and well fertilized and cultivated tree will be able to withstand bacterial attack when a poorer tree will be covered with blight. "Too many farmers have such slight knowledge of the composition of fertilizer," he said the other day, "that they know practically nothing about it. One piece of land may need one form, and another may need another, yet we find farmers dumping all sorts of fertilizer upon their lands, irrespective of the fact whether their soils need these particular ingredients or not. I am certain the phylloxera, the walnut blight and other allments affecting the orchards of the state can be wiped out by the scientific application of fertilizer. But it must be bought by the unit, so many pounds of this ingredient, so many pounds of that. The middleman must be eliminated, and consumer and producer brought closer together." In the south of France I was a member of a syndicate of farmers number- result of an extraordinary cabinet at Tokio, the last was adopted to the mil.

Several barns here stored hay. The price is $15 who led the posse of dep of Benton county, Ark.. stated the Powell gang over of the roughest country in Missouri after the hold-in, in which the conductor near Olive, on the Iron certain the phylloxera, the walnut blight and other ailments affecting the orchards of the state can be wiped out by the scientific application of fertilizer. But it must be bought by the unit, so many pounds of this ingredient, so many pounds of that. The middleman must be eliminated, and consumer and producer brought closer together. "In the south of France I was a member of a syndicate of farmers numbering 32,000. We bought our fertilizer direct from the manufacturer, and had an intelligent analysis of soils. The yield of wheat, for instance, trebled. I can raise wheat eleven consecutive years on a piece of ground, and then by sowing vetches be ready to start all over again. I cut eight crops of alfalfa in the south of France, and had so much hay I did not know where to stack it. People came from a radius of 250 miles to see my crops. We can do the same here. "In France the phylloxera has been stamped out, and love vine killed in alfalfa patches, by the use of fertilizer. This is injected in the ground near the vine, or in the alfalfa as the case may be, and while it furnishes food for the vines and plants, it kills the phylloxera and the love vine. "Farmers should form a syndicate for the handling of these matters. They are of great importance to us. It does a farmer no good—it does him harm—to apply fertilizer to his soil when it already possesses the ingredients contained in the fertilizer. He should procure an analysis of his soil, then apply the ingredients necessary. This can best be done by a syndicate of farmers taking in, say, every farmer in Orange county. The expense would be practically nothing. The cost of the units would be so much less than we now pay for fertilizer thrown together in haphazard fashion, that the additional cost of maintaining warehouses and employing one man to make necessary tests would be very slight. "A warehouse should be maintained at Anaheim, one at Fullerton, one at Orange and one at Santa Ana. The employee would test all fertilizer received, and would issue to members such allotments of fertilizer as his soil needed. "In France they depend largely upon fertilizer.

A meeting should be held and an endeavor made to ascertain if we cannot start one here. In France much importance is attached to these associations." Mr. Royer is engaged in making many notable improvements at his place in the West End, and it is coming to be one of the show places of the county. He is a successful farmer and business man, and his suggestions about co-operation should be given close attention by the farmers of the county.
