New Mexico, July 20.—The Pacific fleet, which today left Old Point Comfort for its new station under the shadow of the Sierras, tonight was well started on its 5,000-mile cruise. Steaming at an economical cruising speed of 12J knots, the dreadnoughts under the command of Admiral Rod man, with two tenders, today held a course about due south for the Wind ward passagge, and at 6 o’clock were 95 miles off Diamond shoals light and 150 miles from Fortress Monroe. Q'he fleet had scarcely rounded Cape Henry when Admiral Rodman direct ed the score of destroyers to proceed at a 15-knot speed, w-hile the dred noughts, which had steamed out of Hampton Roads in single file were ordered into a line abreast. Night found the destroyers well in advance of the heavier craft, and it is erpect reach tlie Pan* na canal The Highlands Large Eu&rta *%ach Orchard ss Seen &y Hews lisn Six thousand aches in peach tree. Did you ever notice a peach tree ! .id ed with ripening fruit? Then stop for a minute, and picture the scene us you would imagine it. A News' man, in company with sev eral friends, had the pleasure Sunday of seeing the entire orchards arid packing sheas of the Highlands Elber • n Peach orchard, which are located in Pike county, near Murfreesboro. this iarge orchards is controlled Bert Johnson who is well known nil over the United States lor his peaches and other farm pi\ ruets. This orchard, which is said to be the largest one in the world, and we can testify that it is the prettiest that we have ever seen. It is hard to real ice just how large the orchard is without seeing it with your own eyes, and driving through it. The trees are well cultivated, and the ground is clean. Running all through the or char are streets and avenues, all nam ed and numbered, such as Main, High lands. and various other names, while the avenues are numbered. It re minds one of a city. Mr. Johnson keeps all the streets in good condition and one can drive in any direction that they desire. In the way of farm and orchard machinery, he has the very latest, using tractor graders, and cultivators, besides the many bead oi horses and mules, lie uses a large number of iarge auto trucks of the very latest styles for his use. The company's grading machines were of great interest to us, thi3 auto matically assorting the peaches and rolling them over and over so the in spectors may investigate them for faulty fruit. The machines make it possible for four men to do the work of twenty men in culling the peaches and distributing them to the packers. Another plant of interest was the canning factory, also owned and oper ated by the company, where all the faulty or over ripe peaches are canned and placed on the markets. It is es timated that three hundred and fifty women are employed in this plan*, luring the canning season. The plant is also used to can many other pro lucts which are grown on the farm, mch as sweet potatoes, bests, and nany other kind of fruit and vege ables. The company specializes in trowing turnips, and Mr. Johnson has made the company famous by canning urnip greens. About ten or twelve years ago this treat orchard was started with less :han one hundred acres, and its con stantly increasing acreage and never 'ailing crops give convincing proot :hat ‘Anything under the sun will trow, successfuly, in Southwest Ar kansas.” The company have every conven ience on the place for their emplooyes in the way of lining quarters. Besid es numerous homes for men with families, they have five large hotels, ■which accommodate hundreds of men Near tiiese hotels they have large, concreted swimming pools ot clcai and puie water. They have leAv phenes connecting all -points of the orchard with the head office, and the building and streets corners are light ed with eleetricly, all from the com pany s po*ver house. i at social wenare ui '.no iiuij.'ioyua have not been overlooked. Churches and school liouses have been provided and are built in the most thickly populated centers on the farm. While the fruit was not ripening to any great extent, only a few cars a day was being shipped, but l y the latter part of this week it will be in full lorce, and all labor availahla will be needed in harvesting the crop. Sev eral hundred, perhaps several thou sands of men were on the ground, some working and some wait in; ior the big drive to begin. Besides the Johnson orchard, there are several other orchards in the vio inity, Blevins is said to have over 400 acres in Elbertas, while Tokio, Aluf freesboro, Bingen, and other villages and towns in Pike county have or chards of a fair size. It is said the output of the Johnson orchard alone will amount to over one million dollars this year. We traversed Little River, Sevier, Howard and Pike counties, and as a whole the crop conditions look good. In Howard and Sevier the corn and cotton, especially the corn show signs of needing rain, and in many places the corn is burned pretty badly. In the vicinity of Ben Lomond, ten miles north east of here, is the prettiest crops that we have seen for several years. One can stand at the top of the hill just before going down into Little River bottom, and see hundreds of acres of land, as level as a floor, all planted to corn, ijotton and alfalfa, and especially, the \ alfalfa is very beautiful and fine. Tlje crops on this side the river, in tliljS county, are good, and are not suffering very much for rain, and we should think that Little River county wjil have a buin cron In both c</rn and cation.
