Inspection for Fire Hazards.

The fire inspector will inspect many
public and private buildings within ten
days to remove fire hazards. Tenants
and owners of buildings must use pre-
caution.
Defective chimneys cause more fires
than any other one particular cause.
Therefore the chimney from its founda-
ton up should be thoroughly looked af-
ter, and in case of any defects the owner
should be required to have it made safe.
Flue caps covering chimney holes in
rooms not having stove connections
should be carefully looked after.
The basement heating apparatus is
dangerous unless the person who does
the firing has extreme care.
Ashes are not allowed to be deposited
in wooden barrels or boxes. These rec
are for your protection.

Kansas an AppIe state.

A little strip of country, seventy
miles long and three miles wide,
stretching from Lawrence to Wamego,
Kas-. along the Kaw River. produces
30 per cent of the apple seedlings of
the United States. The farmers in
this small territory annually plant one
thousand bushels of crab apple seeds
and harvest a crop of 10 to 30 million
yearling apple trees
There is not a single state to which
Kansas does not sip apple seedings
every year, as practically every nursery
in the United States obtains it's seed
ling apple trees from Kansas. Appar-
emily no other part of the great Kaw
Valley, and no other part OF Kansas
or OF the United States. produces the
apple seedlings so well as does this
small strip. Just why this is so the
agricultural chemists are unable to
say. although many tests Of the soil
have been made.
An acre will produce 100000 to $780,
900 trees, and these bring SO a thous-
and IN the field. Land used for tree
culture must be rotated because of
the fear Of fungus diseases, so q crop
of trees from a single piece OF land
comes only once every three years
The trees are planted hike corn, ex-
cept the seeds are about an inch apart
in the rows The trees are sixteen
to twenty inches high when the fall
frosts come. Men pun them up oy the
roots. tie them into bundles OF one
hundred trees each. and the trees are
then placed in caves or dormant houses
until the shipping orders come in The
shipments are usually made in Janu-
airy and early in February. One man
produces on his own land in some
years 40 million trees. Three men own
or rent most of the land devoted to the
culture OF apple seedlings.-Kansas
