Apple Growers Have Begun to
Spray Their Orchards.
They Say 1t Is the Secret of
Apple Growing.

A number Of the fruit growers in
the northern part of Shawnee county
have begun to spray their orchards
for the first time this spring.
Some Of these men say that spraying
is the secret of successful apple grow
ing and spray their orchards from
three to five times every spring.
D. DeBaker, one of the successful
fruit growers. who owns more than
enc hundred and fifty acres Of orchard
north of the city, is perhaps one Of
the strongest advocates of spraying.
cwn orchards which are in fine shape.
His orchards are quite a contrast to
those that are not sprayed.
According to DeBaker the apple
the present time. once when the petals
fall, once when the apples are as large
as a cherry and should be sprayed
tws, more times at intervals of three
weeks.
: Orcahrd men have only recently
realized the value of spraying and this
spring most of the large and small
apple growers will spray their
orchards.
=. Capt. G. NJ. Brassfield, Oldtimer.
Capt. G. M. Brassfield is not one Of
North Topeka's resident oldtimers.
However he spent the year of 1855
in Kansas with the Thirteenth Mis-
souri, cavalry. when the state was
young. For that reason he is included
in this series of stories.
When Captain Brassfield first came
to what is now North Topeka he ford
ed the Kaw river near the present
location of the Santa Fe railroad
bridge. The troop Of cavalry in which
he was an officer camped on the old
Jack Curtis farm. Here they spent
two days. Charlie Curtis. son Of Jack
Curtis and afterwards United States
senator, was then but small boy
Brassffeld remembers him as a small
boy riding small black pony. The
cavalry spent a year in Kansas. Brass
field was mustered out Of the service
at Leavenworth in the year of 1866.
Until 1902 Brassfield spent the most
of his time at ST. Joseph, Mo. He
frequently made trips into Kansas. In
1902 he brought his family to North
Topeka and has resided there since
that time. He was formerly engaged
in the grocery business in QuintOn
Heights and North Topeka. He is at
present custodian OF the North side
postoffice.
Captain Brassfield served in the
Union army during the entire Civil
war. He was wounded a number Of
tunes. He was shot once through the
right lung. once through the right hip
minnie" ball in the calf Of his right
leg and has a large scar above his
right eye where he was wounded with
a cavalry saber.
Mr.. Brassfield is 70 years Of age.
He is we'll known and well liked in
North Topeka. He can tell stories of
Indian times in Kansas that will make
ones hair stand on end"

Good Rule to Follow.

Half of the fun of anything is look
ing forward to 1t, and the other half Is
looking back at It: the climax, the
event itself, Is merely the point at
which the two kinds of pleasure meet
In the middle.
Learn to go to your good time, when
you have earned 1t. with the full ex-
pectation of enjoying yourself; and
when 1t is over, let the happy memory
OF 1t keep coming back to bless and
sweeten the subsequent days.
To great extent, wherever you go,
you bring your own happiness with
you. You viii have the best time by
giving 1t to others, contradictory as
this may seem. You will look back
with most satisfaction on the occasion,
when you were the life of the party
when you entered into the fun axa
made most of 1t yourself, and did not
sit back and expect to have it made
for you.
