APPLE CULTURE
FUTURE INDUSTRY
THE FAMOUS DLBERTA PEACH
GROWING PR0F[TIfSS
An Interesting Interview With N. 0letzeu,
tihe @elLknown Aortiouiturist, About
the Famous Hoss Apple.

The Elberta peach industry lin the
south has about reached dts height and
from now on 1T is the ,0onGensus of
opinion among the growers that the
acreage will decline.
The coming profitable fruit crop of
this section will be apples. A .Ohatta-
nO0ga News representative met Mr.
n. Dietzen this morning and in dis
.oussing the subject Mr.. Dietzen said:
If was younger man than j am i
would plant apples in large quantities.
While lit will take about eight years
for an apple crop to begin coming,
yet it would he a surer and more prof
itable return than any peach crop
could possibly be. i'm my judgement
the HOss apple is the best adapted for
North Georgia, North Alabama and
= East Tennessee, or any other good ap-
pie that comes in late. The Hoss ap-
pie is of sturdy growth, mot so liable
to fuosts and freezes in the early pant
OF the year as is the Elberta and other
early and tender peaches. Then, too,
the HOss apple is almost an inwariable
crop, and nevor brings less than go
cents bushel, and unlike peaches,
does not have to be gathered the day
they are ripe and shipped i'm iced cars
or run the risk of Cutting the particu-
lar market to which they are shipped.
In fact, you can take yonr time in
gathering the Hoss apple, carefully as
sort them, ship them when you get
ready, for they will stand packing,
shipping and holding for weeks before
they are sold to the consumer and they
make the best cooking apple in the
world. Good apple stock costs from
$50 to $40 per thousand trees, and il
the land is strong they may be plant
ed about twenty feet apart, but if thu
land is not particularly fertile it il
advisable to put them ont about twen
ty-five f. knGt. thus averaging 15l

SOUTH PITTSBURG, Tenn. Jan.
Some time ago the firm of Denham

thieves breaking into their store. De-
tectives Bush and Bass, of Chattanoo-

supplied with a list of the stolen
goods. They managed to secure half
the stolen goods, or $3.50 worth, from
pawn shors in Chattanooga, and better
still the thieves and sent them to South
Pittsburg AS partial reward for
their work, Denham & Co. sent them
two nice turkeys which suited the de-

SprctaitO the NtTOS.
This is New Years day and another
mS : stone in lifes history has passed.
Many have been the changes during
the last year. Our friends have left
us and gone forever With this will
begin new year with the readers of
the News and sincerely hope our re-
lations will be as pleasant as during
the past. This is the time for noble
resolutions; time when thoughts
should be turned towards home, and as
we let go of the old year we realize
that to most of us it has been a kind
year. To others the dark side has been
turned. We must not forget that upon
the homes of some of our News read
ers since last New Years, shadow
has fallen and the mantle of sorrow
has wrapped the inmates in its somber
foldsand some homes are like the emp
ty nests that hang on the withered
song went out with the birds. New
homes have been made, new ties form
ed and old ones severed, but in our on
ward march, it is not well to stop to
measure the loa each one carries. No
life is either all sunshine or all storm.
If this New Year brings prosperity,
let us rejoice. Let us be thankful that
our lives have fallen in pleasant plac-
es. Let us quickly turn over the sad
page and look at the bright picture
4 that awaits us.

Mr.. ,IDletzen has spent life in fruit
cultpdre and is regarded as the best in
fQfmed man in this section on the sub
ject. It is known that the Timber
Twig AMI the Shockley apples of North
east Georgia have made several plant
ers very rich. Over there they gather
the crop in the early fall and hold un-
til the winter months and then ship,
netting about IS cents bushel The
Hoss apple gets its name from North
Carolinian by that name, who propa-
gated the apple more than fifty years
ago. and Bishop Hoss is distinguish
ed descendant or a branch of that fam
lily.
Mr.. Dietzen's s views are we'll worth
putting into execution by farmers gen
orally and fruit growers in particular.
He has cut down many of his peach
trees as have Other big growers. He
further told the reporter that the Hoss
apple will live many years longer than
a peach tree and will bear as high as
fifteen bushels to the tree This, at so
cents bushel, means 80 per tree per
1annum, or 81, $50 per acre, and can be
counted on with Il greater degree Of

TRYING TO TOUCH TOUR
Ask FOR AUTO VTSITS.
Western Cities Anrious to Welcome
the GEidden Contestants.

Although the pathhnding work for the Glidden
tour contests practically completed when Dai
Lewis and his party reached Kansas City in the
route making car a couple of days ago. extra
bit of work was cut out for them by f. B. Hover,
chairman OF the Automobile Association Of Amer
lea contest board. This is resurvey of the coun-
try between Minneapolis ana Fort Dodge. On the
trip tust finished Lewis and mis- party were guided
by local advices concerning roads and went from
Minneapolis TO Fort DodSA oy way Of Farieault,
Mankato and Blue Earth City. In consequence, the
motorists Of Mason City are much perturbed. and
are camoring for the route to laid through that
place. which would make the mileage considerably
less.
Lewis recommended that the run from Mime
epolIs 10 Fort Dodge be made in two days instead
Of one. with stop overnight at Mankato. and this
may be done, but Mr. Hover thought it well before
this part OF the route finally decided on to
have Mr. Lewis look over the roads that lead by
way of Mason City
No small part of the troubles of Mr.. Hover over
the contest of this year has been due to the ex-
traordinary popularity of the tour with the people
of the West. He has been beset and besieged by
letters from different cities asking to have the
route laid their way. The Council Bluffs Auto
mobile Club wants the contestants to stop over
night there instead of at Omaha, and just for the
honor of this is willing to go to a great amount
of trouble and expense The conflicting demands
from the motorists and citizens of different places
has been unprecedented showing that the popular
interest in the this year will be greater than
ever before.
What lies ahead of the tourists In the way of vel
come and entertainment is something hard TO esti-
mate in its extent. At Denver, where the tourists
will spend two days. Dai Lewis and his party re-
mained over one day before starting the last
leg of the pathfnding trip. He had great recep-
ton and guest at dinner at which Governor
Shafroth the chief speaker.
According to r. w. Spangler. the tourists will find
that the trip of seventy miles from Denver to Colo
RADIO Springs along the base OF the Rocky Noun
tains will amply repay them for any difficulties en-
countered further East. The road has a Denver
Motor Club signpost at every turn with bridge and
curve signs where needed, that tho pathfndng

the way is good. being for the most part gravelled
