IOWA APPLE
GROWERS LUCKY
Iowa Growers, Who Give Attention to
Production of Apples Have Found

| Des Moines, Iowa.. December 18th
| Especial to the RevieW.)-1oWa apple
men have been more fortunate this
season than the apple growers OF any
other region of the country. The Iowa
men who give attention to apple pro-
duction have found ready sale at
good prices for their apples right
here at home this season. The grow
ers in New York were unable to mar
ket their applies to any advantage this
fall in spite of the fact that they are
adjacent to large cities. Thousands
OF bushels OF apples in New York
were allowed to lie on the ground un
gathered for want Of a satisfactory
market. Reports have also been
brought back to Iowa by travellers
that the prices have been very low for
western apples. In regions such as
the apple districts OF Washington and
Oregon where the principal industry
is apple growing, the lack OF a market
such as was trne this season is dire
calamity.
Growers in southwestern Iowa re.
port that they marketed their crop
this year right in their own local
markets at satisfactory prices. 1t

pay attention to the orchard business

els to the acre. C. o. Garrett, who
has farm near Mitchellyille, harvest
ed about 100 bushels to the acre and
for the most of his crop received $1.50
bushel These were choice apples
and Mr. Garrett was fortunate in find
ing a good market for his apples in
Des .Moines. At this rate his crop
this year netted him around $4,000
an acre. j. M. Bechtel, of Hamburg,
raised 10000 bushels of applies on six
ty-five acres and received from 1928
to $3.50 q barrel for them. Mr.. G. b.
Mincei. of Hamburg, who has about
a hundred acres in orchards, sold all
of his crop in his own neighborhoOd.
A good many farmers in that locality
who devote their attention to general
farming came to Mr.. Miners orchards
and purchased their winter supply of
apples.
Wesley Greene, State Horticultur-
list, estimates the Iowa apple crop this
year at around 100000 bushels He
believes it could have been six mil.

properly cared for the trees.

TWO Pioneers Pa,s Away.

Dunlap, Dec. 11-Within the past
eight weeks occurred the death and
burial OF two old settlers, Mr.. and
Mrs. Owen Reno, former residents OF
Harrison county. They were born
near Saratoga, N. Y, and there they
spent their early years. They were
also married at that place, Feb. "a,
1853. TO this union were born seven
children, four sons and three daugh.
tiers, two of whom survive, Mrs. Fred
Bement, of LosAngeles. Cali, and
Mrs. George B. Powley, who left Wood
bine two years ago to assist in caring
for her aged parents and brighten their
last year.
Shortly after their marriage, Mr.. and
Mrs. Reno left New York for Wiscon-
sin, from which place they removed
to Minnesota, then they came to Har-
rison county, residing near Dunlap
and lastly they went to California,
thus going from the Atlantic to the
Pacific coast. Their early life was
marked by the tolls and privations
which fall to the. lot of the pioneer
residents OF q country, but their lat
ter years were enjoyed to the fullest
extent. During that time they jour
neyed to New York, the state of their
birth, to Canada and made tour
through the western states. In addi-
ton to this they made twenty-nine
trips from California to Iowa. as they
had daughter living in each OF the
states mentioned.
This couple made success OF their
life financially, both by hard labor and
judicious management They were
persons of sterling character, straight.
forward and honest in all business
dealings. And as parents they were
devoted, always endeavoring to bring
the greatest possible happiness to
their loved ones.
Besides the two daughters they
leave six grandchildren and hosts oil
friends to mourn their loss, for they
had the love and respect of all who
knew them.
The remains OF Mr.. and Mrs. Reno
were brought by the daughters to the
home OF their old time neighbors and
friends, Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer II. Smith
of Dunlap. The funeral services were
conducted at the M. y. church and
they were laid to rest in the DUNLAP
cemetery.
The grief of losing both father ant
mother in such brief period OF time
can scarcely be imagined and the
daughters have the sympathy OF the
entire community in the time of theil
great bereavement

PASSING OF sRookMonr FARM
Big Land Holding With History
Has Had An Interesting Past
Located Near OdeboIt.

Odebolt, Dec. 12-The recent salt
of 5O7 acres of Brookmont farm to ;
Carroll party calls to mind that this
famous property will soon be thins
of the past so far as being large farm
is concerned. 1t is gradually being cu
up into farms, and it is probable thai
before another year passes all OF the
broad acres will have passed from
the Cook family, in whom ownership
has been vested for forty-two years
or the original twelve sections in the
farm but 1874 acres remain. Most oil
the land that remains of the original
body is classed among the cream OF
the lands OF this section.
Brookmont farm has had an inter
esting history. Forty-two years ago
C. w. Cook, a noted Chicago mer
chant and capitalist. was induced by
Marvin Hughtitt, builder of the North
western railroad, to come out to this
section on n land hunt. There was
no railroad through this section at
that time, the nearest railroad point
being Denison. With the land COM
missioner from the Northwestern, Mr..
Cook left the train at Denison and
drove north through this section.
When he came upon the land that af-
forwards became Brookmont, he was
greatly pleased with it and made q
deal for it's purchase. The entire
twelve sections, with the exception OF
some 200 acres, were owned by the
Northwestern and Mr.. Cook acquired
all of it. Since that time it has been
farmed on a large scale. and has been
one of the noted farms OF the coun-
try. After the death OF the senior Mr.
Cooke the land passed to the hands of
A. Il. Cook, who lived here for many
years and gave the farm his person
al supervision. During late years his
eastern interests have called him
away so much that he concluded to
close out the entire tract. Most of
it has been sold. At the time of the
dispersal of his herd of Herefords
some months ago 1881 acres OF the
famous property remained, and an eff
fort was made to sell it in its en-
tirety at that time. No deal was
made, however. The recent sale OF
the 507 acres cuts the farm down to
the 1874 acres AS the price at which
the remainder is held is something
like 500 an acre less than lands of
the same producing ability are held
in Illinois, it is not likely that it will
have to go begging for a buyer.
