Growing of Fruit in Nebraska Is Much Neglected Horticulture One of “Sleep ing Industries,” Says Secretary of Agriculture. Lincoln, Oct. 14.—“I know of no re source 6o much neglected which could he made the source of rare profits as tho growing of fruit In Nebraska," said Grant L. Shumway, secretary of the department of agriculture. “Horticulture Is one of the sleeping Industries of Nebraska," he con tinued. “The Union raclflc Is now running solid trainloads of refrigera tor cars east nnd they are loaded with California grapes for eastern centers. Four thousand cars went through In ft single week. Last year the Union Pacific road' shipped 60,000 cars of these grapes. “Nebraska has the climate and soil that will produce grapes In abun Will do well even In sandy soil. Tho Beta is hardy, a rapid grower and heavy producers, and Is very julcy and fine. “Jules A. Sandoz of Spade, which Is 40 miles from the railroad, in the sandhills, has a remarkable orchard that compares favorably with those of Idaho. He has demonstrated that the sandhills will produce abundant and high quality fruit. His first orchard was on sub-irrigated lands, but he later planted tho large commercial orchard he now owns In the higher sandhills. “In the days when Stevens, of the Crete nursery, used to coax old timers of Nebraska to try out fruit, there was planted In the North river valley near Sutherland 40 or 50 acres of apples In one orchard. This is also on quits sapdv soil. From this or chard In a single season has been picked nnd sold ten to twelve thou sand bushels of choice apples. “Near tho southern edge of Mc Pherson couAty, near tho Dismal and Blrdwood, Dave Callender settled In the 80\s nnd one of his first acts was to plant an orchard of seven or eight acres. He used to grow corn In those early years, and In #he winter when storms were had the kindly one armod pioneer scattered loads of tho harvested corn along the sandhill highways for prairie chickens. I think this ranch Is now owned by Ed Mc Connell of Lincoln county. Some of the Callender family reside at Staple ton. “While the millions of acres of al most idle sandhills could he made as prolific and beautiful with orchard and vineyard as the far-famed valley of the Shenandoah, the great reaches of valley and prairie elsewhere In the state have the same sleeping giant.. "We were along the highway that runs by the ruins of old Fort Kear ney and here we found numerous or chards glowing red In the sun be cause of bending branches full of splendid apples. Fred Kahle's orchard Is one we visited and there were sin gle trees that looked good for 10 bushels of marketable apples. The Kahle’s have several acres of such trees and there were many others with fine orchards in this vicinity.” Joint Club Luncheon. Special Dispatch to The Omaha Bee. Albion, Neb., Oct. 13.—The Lions and Klwanls clubs had a Joint din ner last night which was attended by about 75. Addresses were made by Dr. R. M. Shreves of Denver, and Prof, J. O. Masters of Omaha.

Kansas City, Mo.—(Special.)—Anew discovery which, experts agree, has no equal for curative effects In all rupture cases, is the latest accom plishment of Dr. Andrews, the well known Hernia specialist of this city. The extraordinary success of this new method proves that it holds and heals a rupture. It weighs only a few ounces. Has no hard gouging pads, no elastic belt, no leg straps, no steel bands, and is as comfortable as a light garment. It has enabled hun dreds of persons to throw away trusses and declare their rupture ab solutely 'healed. Many of these had serious double ruptures, from which they had suffered' for years. It Is Dr. Andrews’ ambition to have every ruptured person enjoy the quick re lief, comfort and healing power of his discovery, and he will send it on free trial to any reader of The Omaha Bee who wrltfs him at his office at 1503 Koch Bldg., Kansas City, Mo. He wants one person in $ach neigh borhood to whom he can refer. If you wish to be rid of rupture for good, without an operation, take ad vantage of the doctor's free offer.
