Country Club
Will be a Real
Beauty Spot
Work of Clearing; Out Trees and
Other Changes Now Being
Carried On There
From Friday's Dally '
The Plattsmouth country club,
which was recently formed through
the sponsoring by the local Elka
lodge and the Golf elub and in which
stock is owned by the local people,
is being fast worked into the stage
where it is a real place of attractive
ness to the eye and which will make
ai spot of the greatest pleasure to the
Plattsmouth people. j
The committee or board in charge
of the work of getting the grounds in
shape have had a number of the trees (
around the grounds surrounding the.
Wiles home removed, cutting out I
larjje patches of shrubbery and pre
paring to make the task of landscap
ing much easier when the final stages:
of preparing the grounds has arrived, j
The location of the residence and'
the beautiful grounds is one that is
iileal for a country club, it being just:
a short distance from the main por
tion of the city and to which there
is easy access by good roads, and
also it is in the peaceful and beauti
ful surroundings of the countryside.
From the grounds a wonderful view
of the city is to be had, the land
lying on one of the highest elevations
near the city and from the golf course
that occupies the northern portion of
the grounds, the view is wonderful,
the distant Iowa hills and bottom
land forming the background against
which the winding Missouri river and
the pleasant view of the city occupy
the foreground of the view.
The residence has not as yet been
remodeled, but this is in the future
plans of the country club association
and will make a wonderful spot for
the social gatherings of the residents
of the city, as there will be arranged
a dancing space in the club house as
well as large rooms, where bridge or
other diversions may he enjoyed.
The country club will certainly be
a great asset to the community and
one that will be found a constant
place of enjoyment to all of the resi
dents of the community.

Small Fruits
Great Aid to the
Rough Lands
Attorney A. I Tidd Finds Great
Many Interested in Articles on
Grapes and Small Fruit.
Some time ago Attorney A. L. Tldd
of this city, who is an enthusiast
over the possibilities of the Missouri
valley as a great fruit and orchard
country, as well as being one of the
leading members of the Cass county
bar. contributed an article to the
Journal relatives to the grape cul
ture in this part of the west.
Mr. Tidd has, since the publication
of the article, received a great many
inquiries and some from even far
away California, relative to the va
rieties of grape he thought best for
cultivation, the soil formations best
suited, and many other questions
pertinent to the matter of the grape
raising. Some of these inquiries have
been from leaders in agricultural
schools and extension work, they be
ing attracted by the clear cut and
matter of fact showing of the great
possibilities of the Missouri valley
country, particularly the hills and
bluffs along the river, as the sites
for the vineyards and small fruit
farms.
Mr. Tidd finds the study of the
fruit culture his hobby aside from
the. law and has given the matter
some real study and' his views on
the matter are of the soundest in
the demonstration of the return that
an orchard or small fruit farm can
bring to the owner, many times over
that which other crops will give and
the best part of the fruit culture is
that it can thrive on land that the
farmer would have difficulty in rais
ing corn, wheat or other of the staple
crops, the rough rugged land of the
hillsides making the best sites for
vineyards and orchards.
Mr. Tidd has In his home here
planted several apple trees and last
year had a fine crop of apples as
good, if not better than the residents
here were giving up 10c and 15c
apiece to procure. Mr. Tidd placed a
number of the apples on exhibition
over the city and received inquiries
from all parts of the county as to
the possibility of buying a supply of
the apples and he could easily have
sold a carload of the delicious fruit,
all of which shows what a real or
chard carefully kept could return for
its owner.
The demand for grapes in all parts
of the country has grown enormously
in recent years and this fruit is now
one of the biggest in demand of the
hardy fruits and those who have
vineyards have reaped a nice return
on their Investment.
Mr. Tidd believes that grapes for
the cost of preparing the land and
setting out and care can return the
greatest profit for the least effort as
during the time of their growth and
development other crops may be
grown in the land between the rows
until the grapes are matured and
offering their great bunches of pur
ple and white beauty to the owner
and returning a fine profit for the
investment.
