WINTER APPLES IN IOWA.
ICedar Rapids PentIbIicap

H.
The Central City News Letter SAYS
that enough apples have gone to waste
IN Iowa this year to supply the whole
state with apples thruout the winter.
That is true, but the apples that went
to waste happen to be not winter, blu.
fall and summer apples. The men who
planted the orchards OF Iowa forgot
the winter apples. They planted apples
that are fit only for tell use Nine
tenths of the orchards are crippled be-
cause OF such conditions. The summer
and fall apples have only temporary
value. 1t is the winter apples that the
world wants. Iowa at the present time,
Is but poorly supplied with that kind
Of fruit
There is no problem about growing
apples in Iowa, and the Central Iowa
paper is right in saying this Is an
apple state. All we have to do is to
take the same care of apple trees that
We do Of corn. But our pioneers plant
ed trees and took it for granted that
nature would do the rest, as il does in
the forests But the apple is a culti-
waited tree and developed tree and it
must be attended to by the men who
developed it into what 1t is. Left in a
state OF nature IL dies out and the
worms and insects destroy its fruits.
Apple growing In Iowa has never been
undertaken along proper lines, except
In a few communities and by few
men

LAKE DRAINAGE IN IOWA.
CQ;nr~ C;},, vTrihppo1

Iowa has so few lakes that none OF
them should be drained if there is
possibility that they will become places
of general recreation. The gun clubs
and the sportsmen will not be more
vigorous in their protests against the
proposal to drain Wall lake than the
general public if there is reasonable
chance to save it for public use. Ihe
executive council insists that wall
lake is nothing but marsh.
Being marsh is a much better
argument for it's preservation than as
playground for sportsnen. All the
trans Missouri states are sinking wells
building dams and diverting rivers.
They would be delighted with marshes.
Iowa had none too much moisture this
year

A FORMER IOWAN'S WISH.
[Cedar Rapids GaZette.l


The Des Moines Capital quotes a
letter from a former 1owan-a man
who sold his farm in Jasper county and
removed to California. where gold dol
lars are supposed to grow on trees.
in such profusion that only about half
the crop is ever gathered.
The letter tells of some of the diff
culties in the way Of making money
out there: how the people are hoping
for a mild winter. etc: and concludes
with the statement: II wish / had an
Iowa farm again"
Inasmuch as the man had sold his
Iowa farm three years ago at s1lo per
acre. and that same farm is now worth
5000 per acre, we don't blame the
former Iowan for making public con-
fession of his feelings.
Lots of money is made in California
some of it off suckers from the east.
The Golden State seems to be great
place for Iowans (who have made
wad of money at home) to spend their
cash very profusely. But-well. the
wish of the former 1owan tells the
whole story.

BRINGS GRAV YES

Representative of U. S. District
Attorney Interviewing
Army Officers

A suit for damages against the
United States government, amounting
to- 100000, the outgrowthf Of the con-
struction of q water supply system for
the Fort Meade military reservation.
South Dakota, has led ]. Harwood
Graves, an assistant in the u. 8. attor-
ney generals office at Washington, D.
c., to visit Honolulu for the purpose
of securing the testimony Of Captain
James F. Parker and Captain Louis
C. Sherer Of the Fourth Cavalry, sta
toned at Schofield Barracks, said to
be the engineers who constructed the
system.
When interviewed this morning, Mr..
Graves said that, while this was his
principal purpose of visiting Homo
lulu at this time, he also had sew
eral other governmental matters
which he would look into prior to
leaving. He would talk but briefly
concerning the suit against the gov
eminent, explaining the situation to
the extent that the parties who are
suing the government in the particu-
lar case, claim a prior water right
to the stream from which the water
Is now being taken which supplies
Fort Meade. Mr.. Graves visited two
cavalry officers at Schofield Barracks
yesterday, saying this morning that
he secured the desired information
and testimony. The claimants, he
said, are being represented locally by
Attorney Thompson. of the law firm
of Thompson, Wilder, Watson and
Lymer.
Mr.. Graves, accompanied by Mrs.
Graves, arrived in Honolulu Tuesday,
and both have already become enthu-
siastic boosters for Honolulu.
Honolulu Is beautiful" said Mr..
Graves this morning, "and I find 1t to
be one Of the most interesting places
I have ever visited This is our first
visit here, and / find that Honolulu
justifies all that has been said about
it. We are leaving for Hilo tonight,
and while there intend to visit with
Special Prosecutor r. w. Breckons,
whom ! think I had the pleasure Of
meeting In Washington at one time.
Mind you, / said visit and mean a
personal visit. There will be no poll
tical discussions in it il can avoid
it,"
Mr.. Graves declined to talk on the
matters of the district attorneyship or
the nomination of Pinkham, saying
that he knew little of either situa-
ton Mr.. and Mrs. Graves will re-
turn to the coast September 5, and
Mr.. Graves intends making q number
of Investigations before returning to
his duties in Washington.
Dispositions of Captains Scherer and
Parker were taken before v, M. Har-
rison of Judge Robinson's court yes
terday afternoon by Mr.. Graves and
Attorney Thompson.
