President Beardshear Dead.

DR.. William M. Beardshear. presi-
dent of Iowa State college at Ames,
died as the result of nervous prostra-
ton with which he was overcome
while attending the meeting of the Ma
tional Educational association at Min
neapolis month ago. DR.. Beardshear
was president of the association. Dr..
Beardshear was one of the foremost
educators in Iowa. Prior to assuming
the presidency of the State Agricul-
tural college ten years ago he was
superintendent of schools for West
Des Moines. Before that he had been
president of Western college at Tama.
When he became head of the state col
lege it was less than half it's present
size, its growth being due in large part
to his efforts.

81 Varieties of Apples.

There are people who have been led
to believe that the Russian varieties
Of apples propofiated by j. B. Mitchell
of the New Oregon Nursery fail to
bear fruit. Last Saturday Mr.. Mitch
ell brought us basket containing 81
apples each one of different variety
from every other ia the basket and he
said he could have added a third as
many more but for the rain which
stopped the work of gathering them.
These apples were all produced upon
the trees grown by Mr.. Mitchell, each
Variety being we'll developed and pos
sessing qualities that commend them
to persons who desire an abundance
# fruit home grown upon their own
farms, for family use. Among these
varieties are several with keeping
qualities that will keep them to mid-
winter, but by far the most of them
Ire late fall apples, and can be kept
for winter use by cold storage. Pre-
served by this means we have eaten
OF Duchess apples, whose season is
early fall the April following, finding
them as perfect as when gathered.
What is known as the winter apple Of
the east, the Rhode Island Greeniug
and the Roxbury Russell for instance
do not stand the northern Iowa win
ters, and therefore are not adapted to
our climate. The varieties which
ripen their fruit the earliest with
stand our winters best. A reason for
this is that the new wood of each year
ripens with or soon after its fruit.
The winter varieties continue to late
in the fall and Go rot ripen till in the
winter for use hence the tree contin-
ues full of sap till winter sets in and
is in the same condition as other
plant life that starts the winter green
and full of sap. All these features
Mr.. Mitchell has tested fully and
gives the farmer and fruit grower the
benefit of his experience when pur-
chasing. He has spent hundred Of
dollars testing the hardness Of trees
and their fruiting qualities, before
putting them on the market for sale,
and buying from his nursery pur-
chaserS get the benefits of this expert
ence In fruit growing and in fruit
