Rock Island Plans to Center
Apple Industry Here.
Make Topeka Hub of Country
Fruit Supply.
EVERY CONDITION is IDEAL
Better Than Colorado or the
Pacific Coast.
Railroad VIII Draw Thou
sands to Congress.

Preliminary plans for making To-
peIxa the center of the largest apple
market in the world have been maze
at the general offices of the ROCK
Island Lines in this city through H.
NJ CottreIl. agricultural commissioner
and F. r. Bennett, horticulturtst OF
the road. 1t is planned to inaugurate
carly this fall a system of expert ad-
vice to be given the orchard owners
IN this section of the state. The de-
tails will be explained at the agrlcul-
tural and industrial congress to be
held in Topeka late in the fall.
The Rock Island experts declare
that right in the vicinity of Topeka
is an opportunity for the greatest ap-
pIe raising country on the globe. The
soil is IDEAL the hills and weather
conditions are without an equal. The
immense nurseries raise an Invaluable
supply and quality of seedlings. A lit
tie talk to the farmers and the or
chard owners and the fruit raisers Will
turn the tables, they believe.
Furthermore, the railroad agr1cul-
turists saw that for 500 an acre man
can buy orchard land in the vicinity
of Topeka that will produce a higher
revenue and more satisfactory and de-
pendabIe results with less toll and ex-
pense that the best 81, 900 an acre sec
tion of irrigated Colorado or Paclhc
coast.
Thousands to Topeka.
The first thing the Rock Island eX-
perts will do is this: Rustic through
out this territory and influence the
farmers and fruit raisers to come to
Topeka this fall and attend the agri-
cultural and industrial congress.
ct see by the papers that 2,OOO
t
ed H NJ Cottren today. IF 5,OOO
Kansans are not here from over the
state, L am going to be disappointed
guesser This meeting should be the
Greatest gathering of agricultural men
in the history of Kansas. 1t will draw
thousands from over section OF the
state-sections that could not attend
the meeting last year.
in northwestern Kansas, where the
soil drifting setback 70 has been con-
ouered In northeastern Kansas, this
rich section of the state, hundreds will
flock to the Topeka congress. They
will come here too from the south
eastern part of the state. And of
course the wide awake farmers in
southwestern Kansas will not miss an
proved and advanced methods in
raising better crops.
I'VE want the fruit raisers of that
rich territory north of Topeka to
know that they nave every OppOr-
tunity to make their lands the most
valuable in the west. We have found
orchard after orchard with trees not
less than II and Is years of age. We
will try to advance new planting,
spraying and pruning. I am sure that
the fruit men will cooperate with us
in this undertaking.
1.-The Jonathan apple-ah, never
was there a better tasting, a better ap-
pearing and better favored apple
And right here in this part of the state
nature offers every aid to the man
who wishes to raise that marvellous
seller.
I'VE are going to have the center of
the apple raising industry right here
1t is an opportunity that cannot slip
away

few FOREST FIRES.
Area Burned Much Smaller Than Usu-
al This Year,

Washington, July 11.-Only about
10000 acres of national forest land
land have been burned over so far this
season, according to reports today to
the forest service. This area is an in
finitely small proportion of the total
acreage contained in the 1913 forests
under federal supervision. The rec
ord encourages the hope that the fire
loss this year will be small.
Conditions everywhere except the
southwest, it is said, are more than
ordinarily favorable. Four fires are
burning on the Coconino forest, Ari-
zona, and during the last two weeks
there have been 5S fires on national
forests in Arizona and New Mexico.

pected to assist in bringing to an end
the carnage in the Balkans by forcing
speedy action on the part of the powers
who have been invited to intervene.
The object of King Charles of Ru-
mania in assuming the part of a bel
hgerant is to strengthen Rumania's s
claim to participate in the ultimate
sharing out of territory in the Balkan
peninsula. For the present, Rumania,
it is said, will probably content herself
with occupying the strip of Bulgarian
territory from Turtakai on the Danube
to Baltchik on the Black Sea, including
the CITY of SiliStria
She has coveted this for long time
and it is believed she will accomplish
her object under the prevailing con-
ditions without Bulgarian resistance.
Make Protest to France.
Paris, July 1.-THE Bulgarian lega-
ton here has received instructions
from Sofia to protest as energeticalLy

Rumanians Take Bulgarian City.
Bucharest, Rumania, July 11.-Ru-
manian troops today occupied the Bull

bank of the Danube. They were not
opposed by the Bulgarians-
