man here to fully explain the law.
AS NJ Hotaling is thoroughly ia
miliar with the working OF the law
and is himself a large grower and
shipper OF apples. he was recommend
ed by the New York board to take up
the work He arrived in Delaware
about two weeks ago. and in company
with Professor Webb has visited all
of the large orchards and has given
growers valuable information upon
the packing and shipping of fruit in
order to comply with the provisions
of the new law and has also explained
to them the benefits TO be derived
when the law gets thoroughly into ac-
ton.
Before leaving. Mr.. Hotalng was
requested to give his opinion upon the
growing of apples in Delaware and
how the new law will effect the indus
try. He said: after looking over
the situation in Delaware ] am sure
the prospect here is one OF the best
for appleg rowing that | have seen
anywhere. There are few things
which | believe are very important
and should be considered very care
fully by growers. One OF the most
important is the selection Of varieties.
Every section of the country where
apples are raised is better adapted
to growing some particular variety
than any other In this section the
Stayman seems TO be supreme. closely
followed by the old-fashioned Wine
sap and a few other kinds OF winter
apples.
Another thing Of Importance is the
proper distance Of planting. There is
a limit 10 the number OF trees that can
lie prohtabiy planted TO the acre. Es-
pecially is this the case with the
Stayman variety. because OF the
rapid growth Of Inc trees.
All men who start growing apples a.
a business should regard that business
as rather permanent The permanancy
viii depend largely upon the age AT
which the trees can be made To bear
proftably. This will. in turn. depend
| largely upon the methods of pruning
followed during the early life Of tn,
trees. Then. as matter 81 course. IN,
next thing of Importance Is the amount
which can be- realized from the CROWN,
OF apples. This must always Deepen,
upon marketing 10 a good advantage
which is again largely dependent upol
the quality OF the fruit and the name

The unearned Increment.

The inevitable growth of value in
real estate is now recognized by some
foreign governments Germany among
them) by the imposition of a tax upon
the 'unearned increment" In Ger
many if you pay 800 for a tract of
land and it increases in value to $1,000,
you have to give the government a part
of this increase in value. In time
this will undoubtedly be the law in
all countries and the people of the
next generation will regret that they
did not live in those good old times"
when the owner of real estate received
all of it's increase in value.
John Jacob Astor, the founder of
the Astor fortune in New York City,
which now includes probably over
500, 100000 in New York real estate,
said:
Il have made it my rule to buy real
estate during periods of business de-
preston. Short sighted people at such
times hold on to their money; a sense
less fear gives them a kind of heart
failure, and the consequence is that
a comparatively few shrewd buyers,
with sand in their craw and common
sense in their heads, pick up the good
things that are forced upon the mar
ket."
All f%inanciers agree that money is
as cowardly as a coyote, runs and
hides upon the slightest hint of dan.

FORTUNES FROM REAL ESTATE.

Most Kansas City fortunes-large or
small-have sprung from real estate.
Ask any of the old timers who have
watched Kansas City grow from a
small boat landing at Second and Main
streets to one of the most prosperous
cities in these United States.
There are only a very few of us who
have the brains and energy and OPP
p%ortunity to become big merchants, big
business men, big railroad men or
big financiers, and to earn a fortune
in business fields; but any thrifty mar
or woman with any ordinary good luck
can accumulate at least a modest for
tune in real estate. The first purchase
is the hard n to pay for; the second
much easier; the third buys itself, and
after that your fortune grows like a
SNOWFALL rolling downhill.

Much Wealth Here.

The present business depression as
far as Kansas City is concerned is
about 50 per cent mental and 5 per
cent real, the real part of it being
due principally to the war. Kansas
City and its territory is richer now
than ever before. The wealth is real
and tangible you can see it with your
eyes, handle it with your hands, sense
it with every n of your senses. The
people have more money per capita;
the farms have less in%cumbrance per
acre; and the territory has more corn,
more wheat, more forage, worth more
money per bushels and per ton than
ever before.
The Negroes of Kansas City should
get busy, buy real estate and watch
your money grow.
