the chairs as weapons, routed the Fill

The rising was evidently poorly or
ganized and lacked leaders. 1t was
composed for the most part OF persons
implicitly trusting the word OF Artem-

ducts a continual propaganda from
Hongkong, to which place he was ban

some time ago. Ricarte it is stated
advised that the anti-American at

the American officers would be eX.

military authorities.

What iowa Can % in Apple Industry.
Although the big majority OF Iowa
farmers pay little attention to apple
growing there are few Iowa apple
enthusiasts who are demonstrating
year after year what Iowa can do in
the way of apple production il the
business is given serious attention.
Apple producers attending the annual
Iowa State Horticultural convention
all brought reports OF better year
than they had anticipated in spite of
the fact that the dry weather for the
past three seasons had cut short the
crop and the apple markets in some
of the big districts of the east and al
so of the west were very poor. These
apple growers are producing apples of
better quality than are grown in the
famous apple regions OF the west and
this year they had much meter mar
ket for them. They are alive to their
business and are taking advantage Of
its opportunities.
Some OF the best fruit shown at the
annual meeting of the. horticultural
convention will be put in shape for eX-
hibtion at the Panama exposition.
There it is expected that Iowa apples
will take high rank in competition
with apples from all parts of the coun-
try and Iowa does not by any means
have to depend on her apple crop as
do the districts with whose exhibits
Iowa apple growers will have to COM
pete. The success of these men in
growing apples shows what can be
done along this line in this state
wherever men give it attention.
C. 10. Mincer, of Hamburg, who has
about 100 acres in orchards. has won
many prizes at the National Horticul-
tural congress with his Iowa grown APP
pies in competition with apples from
many parts of the country. A few
years ago at this congress he won a
sweepstakes prize and was awarded a
$500 trophy as premium. ]. NJ. Bech-
tel, of Hamburg, raised 10000 bushels
on 65 acres this year and sold them at
prices ranging from $3.25 to $3.50 q
bushel Mr. Bechtel was formerly in
the railroad business, but he says he
has made far more money out of the
apple business than he ever could have
hoped to make in the employ OF the
railroad. -
Simons & Sens. of Hamburg, al
so had a good year in spite OF the fact
that tho weather was somewhat
against the apple business. Mr.. ST.
mons gets out a little circular adver-
Using his apples. which shows that he
is alive to the opportunities of his bus
mess. Mr.. Mincer also gets out some
matter. using post card
with very attractive apple pictured
on the outside ana some information
about his orchards printed thereon.
C. o. Garrett. who has an orchard of
twelve acres near Mitchellville. pro-
duced on an average of about 100 bush
els to the acre this year and marketed
the most of them at Des Moines at the
rate of $3.50 per bushel. The point
that stands out most prominent in
Iowas apple production is that it is
not made much of in this state and
there are great many other lines of
special farming as we'll as general
