FIRE POTS SAVE
APPLE ORCHARD
FREMONT MAN HAS A 1910 CROP
DUE TO BURNING CRUDE
OIL.

Des Moines, Aug, I'm all Iowa
there is only one full bearing apple
orchard this year. 1t is the property
of c.. e. Mincer of Fremont county
and it's we'll laden trees bear testimony
to the value Of painstaking care and
scientific methods in fruit growing
and farming.
Mr.. Mincer fortified his orchard
against the late frosts that DESTROYED
section of the west. He laid in gen
erous supply of crude petroleum and
fire pots and during the cold nights
he kept up thousand fires and
smudges in his orchard. 1t meant an
outlay Of money and much patient
labor, but it paid. The blossoms were
saved and his trees will yield a 80
per cent crop, whose value int the mar
ket at the nearest town of Hamburg
is estimated at not less than $4,000.
What Mr.. Mincer did, other fruit
growers might have done by the same
scientific fight against frost. In these
modern days the big profits in all ag-
ricultural industry are for those who
proceed intelligently and scientifically
and not by chance and haphazard.
In the cultivation of high priced
lands, there are adequate returns only
for those who adopt the best methods.
Mr.. Mincer's experience should hasten
the time when every year will be a
good fruit year in Iowa.
