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.”

New Method
Heals Rupture
Kansas City Doctor’s Discov
ery Makes Truss or Opera
tion L-nnecessary.
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.
Write him today.—Advertisement.
IP you have never experienced■
that uncomfortable, soul rend-|
ing, heart tearing, nauseating
feeling that boils carry with themj
you are truly fortunate. The boil
lodged securely—hiding away,
ashamed, so to speak—behind your
collar—just where you can't reach
It and you want to so bad. Every
time you turn your head—oh! that
scraping pain—that agony.
Bolls the same as all sldn disor
ders—pimples, blackheads, eczema
—are caused by a run-down state
of health. The human motor is not
hitting on all cylinders—the spark
of vitality is low—rich red blood is
not surging through your veins.
The human carburetor is clogged
up. When the lead from the gas
tank of the automobile is filled
with particles of dirt the engine
does not respond
properly. So, too,
when the system Is
, clogged with lmpuri
| ties, skin disorders—
pimples, eczema, or boils appear.
S. S. S. builds new blood cells.
As blood cells Increase In number
impurities vanish. When impuri
ties vanish boils and other annoy
ing skin disorders disappear.
S. S. 9. is the conqueror of skin
eruptions. It is the greatest blood
cell builder, blood cleanser and
body builder known. It is fool
hardy to suffer from boils and skin
disorders when by putting your
system in order these uncomfort
able hindrances to well being will
be done away with.
Mr. V. D. Scbaff, 557 15th Street,
Washington. D. C , writes:
"I tried for yean to get relief front
a bad case of boils. Everything failed
until I took S. S. S. I am now abso
lutely cured, and it was S. 5. S. that
did it." .
S. S. 8. is sold at all leading
drug stores. Try a bottle and get
rid of your boils and other skin
eruptions. The large size ia the
more economical.
