FATE OF AN ORCHARD.
A Tragedy in Kansas That Has .
Pathetic Side.

Tragedy In Kansas That Has .
Pathetic Side.
A tragedy was enacted in Kansas
the other day, namely, the deliberate
burning or 500 acres of trees. 1t was
not the sort of destruction that is so
narrowing to the soul of Clifford Pin
chot; 1t was worse than that, for the
trees burned were not those of the for
est, but Of an orchard They were
apple trees-65,000 of them or there
abouts.
These trees were planted twenty-five
years ago, and were in the very prime
of life at the time of their destruction.
The man who placed them there looked
forward to the time when the fruit
from their branches would bring him
fortune, and he cultivated and cared
for them to the best of his ability.
They grew and flourished for a few
years, but when the time came for
bearing they produced little or no
fruit. Then the soil was examined
a proceeding that had been overlooked
in the beginning-and 1t was found
not to be adapted to apple growing.
The subsoil into which the roots of the
trees penetrated did not supply the ele-
ments necessary to the formation Of
fruit. The owner experimental a
while longer. hoping to furnish the
needed elements through fertilizers,
but to no effect. OCCASIONALLY there
would be light crop Of apples, but
the orchard as whole was a failure;
finally he gave up in encouragement
and sold it to man who proceeded
to burn up the trees and turn the 800
acres into cornield.
The man who had planted the or
chard looked on and felt sorrow at Gee
ing those trees burn, though he knew
1t was the proper course. But they
were trees that represented hope and
labor and satisfaction in their growth.
And they were living, and in going
down by the ak and by fire they
seemed to reproach him, for no one
with Imagination can work with trees
and plants without feeling that they
all have a certain sentient life. 1t
was a real tragedy, the burning OF
hat orchard, and the one consoling
reflection il that possibly the apples
1t might have grown we're Ben

settlement effected with the estate
of John S. Kennedy, New York multi

OF the greatest sums ever paid in this
country as an inheritance tax.
The tax is the first paid on property
in Minnesota by a nonresident. 1t
consists of 100, 900 shares of stock in

The state will also endeavor to col
lect an inheritance tax from the estate

ably far exceed that of the Kennedy
