FROM A SMALL START.
Topelzan says sO,OOO,OOO Seeding APP
pie Trees VIII Sell Annually.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 16.-From
small start little more than a
quarter of century ago. near To-
peka, the Seeding apple industry has
grown to such proportions that this
year it is estimated the growers be-
taween st. Marys, Kan, on the west,
and Lawrence, Kan, on the east, Will
sell more than 100000 Seeding APP
pie trees. That this figure will be in
creased gradually until more than
twice the number will be raised an
nually is the opinion of ]. H. Skinner
of Topeka, retiring president of the
Western Nurserymen's association,
which last night closed a two days
session at the Coates house. The
meeting was successful in arous1ng in
terest among nurserymen and much
| important work was transacted. The
next meeting will be held IN Kansas
City at about this time next year.
Il don't know why the Kaw valley
should be any better suited to the
! other section of the United States
said Mr.. Skinner, "but it is fact we
have an industry, the largest of its
| kind in the world.
| Seeding apple trees are shipped
| from this little valley of the Kaw over
a territory extending from Maine to
| Washington and from Michigan to
| Florida and Texas. Every part of the
United States draws in part, at least,
for Seeding apple trees on the KaW
Z, valley.
| 1.-THE industry had it's inception at
Topeka more than twenty-five years
/ ago when Taylor & Peters. pioneer
nurserymen, put out some apple seeds
in the alluvial soil. The seedlings did
we'll. Others tried the experiment and
now there is nursery after nursery, all
! of seeding apples. One grower alone
| has an output this year of 100000
Seeding trees
| ''These seedlings are raised entirely
| for stock trees and virtually are
worthless for fruit unless they are
| grated and budded with the fruit
varieties. The seed, for the most part,
growers raise apples for cider to
be mixed with champagne. The crush
| ing of the apples in France is done
| carefully as a rule and the seeds are
not injured. Labor is cheap there
/ and the seeds are washed from the
hulls and dried and then are bought
up by collectors and sent to this
country.
! ITO protect our industry, the United
States has levied a duty of 10 cents a
pound on apple seeds. AS there are
| forty pounds to the bushel, the duty is
81 a bushel These seeds are shipped
over here and planted in the fall. 1t
requires a bushe1 of seed to SOW an
/ acre in rows three feet apart This
| acre will produce about 100000 seed
| ling trees, about $4,000 of which will
| be of the first grade. There are from
/ five to six grades and all must be
/ sorted by hand and tied up in bundles.
/ Before the seed is planted it is soak
i ed in ice water to soften it, I had
/ some seed that did not test out after
i soaking for three weeks and l dried
| it and put it in cold storage for a year,
i tried it again, and now am sorting the

He Was Too Enthusiastic.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an hon
est" horse trader He would not lie
about horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. Incidentally, he al
ways beat the customer who dealt with
him. The way he could slur over the
defects and buzz about the virtues of
an animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor horse that had an eye which
was nearly sightless. The neighbor
knew Hank would not lie outright to
him, so he questioned the horse trader
as to the various points of the brute
How about his eyesight? Can he
see out of both eyes2''
Sure" said Hank; hes got good
eyes, Here he leaned forward, his
eyes fairly scintillating with suppressed
honesty. "One eye is particularly
goodr'
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was off.
