Odell, secretary ot the Ne braska Rural Life Commission, has cre ated a sensation among land boosters by his recent assertion that Nebraska grows more apples than sis states of the north-J west. ' The promoters of Irrigated lands dOjiiot look kindly on publicity of this sort and the statements of Mr. Odell have been challenged. . Mr. Odell travels ex tensively in the northwest In. agricultural lecture work and has been going Into the orchard proposition with the thorough ness characteristic of trained investi gator. His long, , residence . in Nebraska and opportunities for. securing local facts make his conclusions .of value and Inter est'. : . ... ' v. ' To a Bee reporter Mr. Odell said: ."You ere at liberty to say that th figures previously attributed' tot me concerning Nebraska , apple production still stand. 6ur people have become, so accustomed to regard the Pacific -northwest as the coming horticultural Eldorado that they have failed to note the growing up of a great Industry In their midst The other day while in Omaha I. was invited to make a trip to Benson with Mr. O. W. Hervey,, of The ' Twentieth Century Farmer. As we stood on the hills Just, northeast of ' Krug park and looked . oat. over the orchards and vineyards, I' said to Mr. Hervey: 'Tou are now looking on IDO square miles of fruit growing country that caftnot be duplicated in an . equal unbroken body anywhere In the north - ". west.' ' i . -".Why, conUnued Mr. Odell, 'right here within the city limit of Greater Omaha ie orchard land which will be presently producing apples of better flavor than the fancy product ot the irrigated val leys. . Thejio great loess hills with their inexhaustible soil three hundred feet deep are the natural home ot the perfect apple; ideal alr-dralnage Is afforded by the rolling contour of the surface, pre venting killing frosts, and the market la less than thirty minutes away." ' Opportunities Xer Omaha. "To the southward along the , river bluff is an unbroken strip of ideal or chard land clear to .the Kansas line. This extends inland from twenty to forty miles, with inlets along the edges of tributary streams extending over the ad jacent rolling country. Much of this land can still be bought at a nominal price, as Its rough surface render it -undesirable for general farming. It they had It out in the northwest, whejre there is a mountain every mile or two, they would regard it as a fruit growers' paradise. ; 'This future land of apples and small fruits reaches clear up Into the edge ot Dakota county, and IV is no exaggera tion to ay that In the strip ot land fifty mile wide, extending from Sioux City to Falls- City on the Nebraska side of the . river. It is possible to' support 1,000,000 people by Intensive fruit grow ing, if the same care and (kill is exer cised' that is absolutely. essential In the northwest. "The uninformed person get . the Idea that apples Just grow without care In the irrigated regions; get that notion out of your head; about the first thing the visitor at the National Apple Show at Spokane sees Is the moving picture ex hibit of the Washington Agricultural col lege continually showing the people how to tight Insect pest; and they have every sort known to science. The only , thing, that makes possible the preservation of the apple business out there is their con stant fight against these enemies of the grower, ! combined with their splendid system of Inspection and their co-operative marketing system. When we get similar methods established In Nebraska we will have them '"beaten before they start.":;, ; , -.: ,.; :' Apple ' Orchards ' Become Profitable, "Why do we not find more Nebraska apples on the market?" asked the re porter: ,. -i , .'-,' :r. . . "Because the big buyers .snap them up for eastern consumption or for export," said Mr. Odell. "The buyers who pur chased last year's Nebraska crop pro nounced them superior in flavor and keeping . qualities to the, western fruit, according to the testimony of the secre tary ot the Stat Horticultural society. Away back In 1876, Nebraska won the gold medal at the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia for apples and this trophy i was proudly exhibited by Gov ernor Furnas until his last days. . , ' "Later on we went down to New Or leans to the exposition and cleaned up the whole country again; Nebraska ha been In thl apple game a long time, but our farmers have been so busy coining alfalfa and hogs Into Qioney that they have neglected the orchards. ' "Now, that the cost of production Is Increasing on the farms, owing to the rapid rise in value of the land, farmer are beginning to specialize . arid ' the or chard Industry Is rapidly, assuming prominence. According to' the best re turns available .it- now costs' 4he 'price of not less than twenty bushels of corn to ferny an acre of land In a" corn .crop, so that when the farmer hit a bad year like 1911 he has small proflta,lf nof an ab folute loes. The orchard takeslonger, but (a a pretty certain dividend producer. "It Is a mighty'poor orchard which will not yield 1100 an acre profit every year on an average ot ten years and It takes a lot Of corn farming to do that ' Well. Scores of 15 to 20-year-old orchards in eastern Nebraska are good for $200 to 1400 an acre .profit this year and some will climb up toward the thousand-dollar mark. It all depends on the varieties and the Individual The man Who knows hU business end attends ; to , It Is making money."' - .-'v .; ,. i." ..' . .'; . GettlK Into the Millions. ' , "How much does that Nebraska' apple crop amount to in money!'? . ; "Anywhere from five to Xtn , million dcieirs: ' last year It . was 'reported by the county assessors to the Bureau ot Industrial tatisttC8 at about nine mil lions. This year the Crop prospects In dicate that it will be about the same: taken together with cherries, pears and berry fruit which are plentiful this year the total fruit crop of the state will probably' run close to fifteen millions. This Is certain to show a rapid Increase, as the lone of profitable cultivation s is now' well determined and the agenciei organised to promote the Industry ( are 'active. ... i- ;'' ',' " ! , "The report concerning the probable 'crop' show a bumper crop of MPle In ,th southern counties, with a gradual lessening In quality northward. ' The "Kansas City Packer," which covers the entire country with Its fruit reports, states In its Issue of August 3, 1912, that Richard Son county will ship 1,000 carloads, this Is about 000,000 bushels which Is tbout the figure reported ' from ' this county last year. This is equivalent to. 200.000 bar rels . of apples, though the government census for 1910 only allows us 300,000 barrels for. the entire state. "The gross Inaccuracy of these govern ment figures," continued Mr. Odell, "coupled with the difficulty of securing accurate statistics concerning any phase of state progress or development, argue strongly for the creation of an official bureau with large powers which will do this work and do it right If the business men of Omaha and the .state wish to do a great public service they should lend their active Influence to, the passage of such a measure at the next legislative session. . : l ' 1 "At the present time it Is almost impos sible to speak, with any accuracy con cerning Nebraska development; we are spending plenty of money in. the various state departments, but there is, lack of plan and co-ordination for a common pur pose. 1 Along with this' publicity bureau should come the creation of a commission of business? efficiency experts -to tackle the problem of systematizing ' plans ot work and accounting in the various state departments.' Such 'a commission will save its cost a hundred times in the first blennlum; but we were talking . about tipples; let me tell you a little story: . (HmiIhr Fortune oa ?1' Land. "About twenty year ago the late Henry ,C. Smith of Falls City bought a piece ot rough hill land fourteen miles north east of the Richardson county metropolis la the Missouri river hills tor HO an acre; this land he cleared up and planted sixty five acres to apple trees. In 1909 the crop from this 14-year-old orchard sold for I30.000. In 1910 Mr. Smith reported to the State Horticultural society that among the five varieties of apples In this orchard one variety, the Wealthy, yielded a net profit of $625 per acre and that this single crop paid the equivalent of $40 per acre per year for every year since the trees were planted. Mr. Smith has since gone on to his reward. , but. his orchard wjll continue to bless humanity for a genera tion to come. . It may be counted on under capable management to produce an aver age of $300 an acre annually for twenty years to come; that Is 10 per cent on a valuation of $3(000 per acre. ' In twenty years of bearing It will be 600 times the original cost of the land, which has al ready been paid for in profits a score .of tunes. Orcharding pays in Nebraska. ; "Now," continued Mr. Odell, "when you realize that within an hour's ride of Omaha are opportunities almost equal to this, where land equally good can now be bought for $75, $50 or even less per acre, does It not seem the summit of foolishness to put $500 to $1,000 per acre in Irrigated fruit lands 1,000 miles from market? Between Omaha and Platts niouth on the south, toward Blair, on the north, Fremont on the west and Gretna on the southwest, lie opportunities for hnme-building for the workers, the de velopment of Ideal country places for those more' fortunate In wealth and the ultimate' budding of a metropolitan com munity which shall rank second to hone in the country for the prosperity and comfort of Its ' people The people who will profit most largely by this develop ment, both in lkcalth and money, will be those who come nearest to the earth and reap its generous fruits." Hello Girls Picnic , ; at Rod and Gun Club Grounds Wednesday The second annual picnic for employes of the Nebraska Telephone company will be held Wednesday afternoon and even ing at the Rod and Gun club grounds. All employes In Omaha, South Omaha, Ben son and Florence will attend. . A lengthy program of athletic features with plenty of -cash prizes has been ar ranged, the events ranging from a "hello" girls' fifty-yard dash to a pole climbing contest. A ball game between the construction department and office teams has also been scheduled. r Free moving pictures featured with the "Know Omaha Better" slides, fireworks and dancing will hold the attention of the merrymakers' in the evening.
