ANOTHER MISTAKEN IDEA.

The following misconception Of
apple culture is clipped from the
Ottumwa, Iowa, Courier:
81 There il more money to be made
in fruit raising in Southwestern Iowa
than there is in the West This state
ment was made by A. b. Cooper, an
apple expert from the Hood River,
Oregon, apple country, who attended
the Iowa state fair. i believe that
with excellent care an orchard would
pay better profits along the Missouri
river than out where | am located,
Mr.. Cooper added. 1T would take
three or four years to get the trees in
proper condition. But the soil, the
climate and other conditions are con-
ducive to raising good apples. What
Mr.. Cooper says of the southwestern
part of the state is true of the southern
and the southeastern, as we'll as other
sections of Iowa. There are no better
apples grown anywhere than those of
southeastern Iowa. The only trouble
is that the Iowa orchard has been only
a side line. with very little attention
given to it. 4"
AZ 10 AdthCi uliiCull W DclltNe lndt
an "apple expert from Hood River"
could show such ignorance for the
editorial statement clearly evidences
lack of knowledge of the elements con
ducive to the most successful apple
culture. 1t is possible that his state
ments were misinterpreted by the
writer Of the article.
However, it is very gratifying to
know that the statements are not
taken seriously at 0ttumwa. The
following letter, relative TO the arti-
Gle, was written to W. F. Cooper by
W. F. Dykes, a prominent citizen of
the Iowa city.
0ttumwa, Iowa, Sept. 4, 1911.
My dear Mr.. Cooper: Will you
please Just read the marked item in
paper enclosed herewith. What do YOU
think OF that, anyway? And to come
from Hood River man at that Do
you realize now what you missed when
you left Iowa when in search of an
apple countryl Now will you be good? |
Our old friend, Fred Bukey, once
mailed me copy of the Portland |
"Oregonian. or what ever it is called |
with marked item about some man
who had been arrested and fined for |
Offering wormy apples for sale on the |
streets of Portland. Here in Iowa. we
would arrest a man for selling an
apple without a worm. You know we
want all that is coming to us, and if |
the worm goes with the apple, then
we want the worm. Seriously, never
regarded Iowa as much Of a fruit
state. think climatic conditions are
against 1t. We excel in many crops.
but not in fruit. Possibly, with the
same care and cultivation given the
orchard that is grown in thew estern
fruit districts, it might prove, in a
manner at least, true, as this Mr..
Cooper says. Certainly, with proper
laws regulating the spraying and care
OF trees the quality of the fruit could
be improved. but am of the sopinion
that climatic conditions would make
the erop.too uncertain. also believe
much depends upon irrigation, so as
to get the right amount of m oisture
at the right time.

amounted to no more than slight

The impact of the collision freed the
team from the wagon and hurled the
top of the vehicle over wagon that
was standing near the track. The
driver was unable to see the approach
of the train because of several box
cars standing on a siding.

SAY SCAT" TO COP AND
SEE HIM GET "PEEVISH'

Don't walk up and say "cats'' to
the average police officer. It's be-
coming an unpleasant topic. Hardly
a day pessed this summer without calls
at Headquarters for a policeman to
come to some section of the city and
murder certain unappreciated felines.
The officer naturally doesn't mind
being accommodating in the distribu-
ton of a little hot lead but when the
extent of his duties broadens into
crawling under the house after the
condemned or disposing of the re-
mains, he grumbles at the hide-and-
seek process and fails altogether to
appreciate the glory of being cat
undertaken.
Imagine the CONSERVATION of the
force, therefore, when an editorial
appears in the Richmond Journal set
ting forth the opinion that cats as
harborers of dangerous germs, should
be shaved! Each member at once
formed a mental picture of himself
chasing around with night-stick in
one hand, shaving mug and razor
in the other seeking to do tonsorial
honors on the elusive Tabby. Craw-
ling around under houses and shacks
for hours at once paled into insight
ficance. Conducting the funerals OF
cats killed the week before took on
the aspect of pleasure.
Just think of a shaved cat and
the beauty added by the loss of his
fur. Wouldn't cat fanciers love to
stroke the de-natured hide of an an
tiseptic specimen?
According to the Richmond sheet
the State Board of Health of Kansas
has taken up the crusade against
the cat. Felines carry many more
germs than dogs. Cats do not battle
as dogs do. Cats have an aversion
for water. Their thick fur forms a
safe breeding place for microbes,
some of which are not found in the
hair of dog or of any cleaner ami
NAL. So the order runs to the Kan
sans, "Shave your cats as you would
your horse or your dog; if that be
too much trouble, kill him.

sent sons were unable to be present.

PROTEST AGAINST PICTURES

Washington ministers are oppos-
ing the proposed exhibition in their
city of motion pictures of Beulah
Binford, the other woman" in the
Beattie murder case. This is right,
and we hope that the clergymen will
be successful in their efforts to have
the pictures prohibited. However
we may regard the Binford woman,
whether as a heroine, as an adven-
turess, or as a poor unfortunate girl
who got in wrong as so many of her
sisters have done, all of us must
agree that no good can come from
having her depicted on the screen in
the character of a beautiful, care
free siren who came between a good
woman and her husband. Already
we have too much of that sort OF
thing. The tendency to "play-up'
such persons as Beulah Binford is,
as one Washington minister ex-
presses it, like putting a premium Oh
disgraceful notoriety, and holding up
to our wives and children as a hero
inc woman who is everything we
do not want them to be-

RICHER AND RICHER

The South is getting richer and
richer. 1t is growing steadily not
only through its manufactures, but
through the development of its agr1-
cultural resources as we'll. Richard
H. Edmonds, editor of the Manu-
facturers' Record, says in the cur
rent issue of his constructive publ
cation that is is possible within the
next decade that the owners of farm
lands of the South in addition to the
yearly profit to be derived from the
cultivation of these lands, will make
$5,0O0,000,0O0 by the increase in
their value, bringing the value up to
nearly $11, 100000. These enor
nous figures show the possibilities
that may come to Southern farm land
owners. While not every land own
er will share equally, it is fair to as
sert that ten years from now the
agricultural lands of the South will
have increased on the whole to such
extent that they will be worth from
5,000,000,000 to $6,000,000,000
more than they are worth today. This
will add tremendously to the wealth
of the South. Between 1900 and
1910 the average value per acre of
the agricultural lands of the United
States increased from $15.64 to
$32.4S. In the same period the
average acre value of the agricul
tural lands of the South increased
from $6.88 to $16.84, making the
average acre value of the agricul-
tural lands of the South something
more than the acre value of the
lands of the nation a decade ago. 1t
may be estimated safely that in the
next ten years Southern lands will
advance to at least the average acre
value of agricultural lands in the
United States at present, bringing
the acre value to $32.4S as compar-
ed with $15.S4, the average last year.
An additional value of $16.64 in a
decade, bringing the average up to
the present average of the United
States, would make a total of
1851, 1000 as the gain for ten
years.-Richmond Times-Dispatch.
