lAPPLE orchards
IN FULL BLOOM
aTndloationi Are that Crop in South
eastern Nebraska Will Be
Largest for Tear.
yCBEAGE INCREASING RAITDLY
STELLA, Neb, "May 1. (Special.)
e Apple orchards1 are In full bloom
la southeastern Nebraska two weeks
earlier than usual. The bloom la so
abundant that 90 per cent of a crop
is predicted.
The orchards that bore light last
year are now In the heaviest bloom.
The Intense drouth the last two sea
sons has caused some loss in the
'orchards, but not to an alarming ex
tent. The heavy snows during the long win
ter and the wot spring - have put the
Itround , and the trees in tine condition.
In fact, this spring has been almost
Ideal fruit weather.
Part of First Spraying- Missed.
The blooming has been so rapid and
.early that many orchards missed their
first spraying, known as the dormant
epray. In commercial or cultivated
orchards four sprays are given. The
first, or the dormant spray. Is - for fun
gus or apple scab, and Is given before the
blossoms come out. The seoond spray
Is gtven Just after the blossoms drop, and
is for the codling moth. The third spray
is two weeks 'later than the seoond.
vsnally given about the last of May, and
is for the second brood of the codling
moth. The fourth, or last, spray Is about
three weeks after the third, and Is to
'kill the third brood of the codling
snoth. -
Sh abort Dtacuaaes Spraying.
The Bhubert family at Bhubert. who
fere, perhaps, the largest owners of com--t,rtTclal
orchards In Nebraska, have five
gasoline power spraying machines this
tteason. Four men are required to a ma
chine and each machine will use from
34,000 to .O0O gallons of spray dally, the
amount depending upon the sise or ne
tree, the lay of the land and the dis
tance to go 'or water. The cost for
proraylna a tree each time is estimated
t SO sent.
Grant Bhubert, a reliable authority on
praying, says the loss of the first spray
ing wUI make no particular oun
because the material used for the seoond
X "spray Is the same as for the first. The
second spray In southeastern Kebraska
will begta next week.
Mr. Bhubert says he never knew a
spring when so much spraying was go
" Ing to be done all over this apple coun
try as is going to be done this season,
and from all present appearances Rich

ple crop this season.
fits; Orehari Bold.
t .Mtttiaaatarn Nebraska, the first
time a big. important commercial orchard
has ever changed hands' was the last win
ter, when Grant Bhubert sold bis eighty
acre fruit farm, one mile from Shubert,
to Alfred Ahern for 130.000, or $280 as
acre. Mr. Bhubert had owned the' farm
ten years. He paid $100 an acre for It.
and developed It all, exoept the grounds
about bis residence. Into an 'apple or
chard. In addition to the selling price
6T $20,000, Mr. Bhubert retain posses
sion until next spring, getting this year's
crop. Last year his crop was 12.000 bush
els. ' It Is his intention to develop new
fruit land, getting a larger tract and far
ther from town. Soma of the trees on
the faros he sold are sixteen years old.
Planting; Large Orchard.
A, M. 8hubert is superintending' the
planting of SO0 acres of orchard for the
Loess Land oompany, near Bhubert, four
tracts of orchard being within a-.jn.ile
and a half of the town. .This tract was
purchased at different times recently at
from $100 to $176 an acre. Among the
stockholders are A, M. Shubert. J. F.
Khubart. an orchardist and banker at
t Phubert; Peter Younger of Geneva, Mr.
Harrison of York, C. O. and H. W. Mar
shal of Arlington, W. H. Mellor, secre
tary of the State Board of Agriculture;
JJr. Budge, Alva Townsend of Lincoln;
3. C. Seacrest of Lincoln, Joy Morton
tt Chicago.
Memorial ? for Morton.
Mr. Morton Is the son of the lata J.
Sterling Morton of Nebraska City, the
founder of Arbor day. The Loess Land
company's holdings include a tract re-
"pently bought from the old Morton es
tate at Nebraska City. The purpose of
this pure h am is to perpetuate to some
extant the horticultural teachings of the
founder of Arbor day on the land that
ni onos a part of .his home.
This new company takes its name from
the loess soli, on which the company's
holdings are located. The loess soil Is
peculiar to the Missouri valley, lying
along both sides of tha river. Loess soil
Is of a peculiar type, end Is not common.
3t is said to be the deepest and most
everlasting of all soils, and only two
larga bodies of any consequence known
of elsewhere are In Germany and China
where such soli is held at a very high
price. This soil reaches its best In the
Missouri. Valley in the 300 miles between
Kansas City snd Omaha. It does not
1 extend very far back from the river In
the Bhubert orchard country, the distance
Is less than fifteen miles.
Will Bear la Eight Years.
Ten thousand trees 'are required' to set
the 300 acres of tho Loess Lend com
pany. Two-year-old trees are used, snd
the earliest bearing fruit will not be pro
ductive commercially for eight years. The
varieties are Winesap, Delicious, Jona
than, Duchess, Grimes Golden and Mis
souri Pippin. Mr. Bhubert, who has, the
planting In charge, employs fifteen men.
The cost of the trees snd the cost of
labor to get them planted, together rep
resent about $2 an acre. Corn will be
planted between the trees this season,
and the ground kept in a good state of
cultivation. ,
Altogether about 300 acres of commer
cial orchard are being set In the vicinity
of Bhubert this spring. P. W. Csrr.

Is a higher price, the officers state, than

territory between Omaha and St. Joseph
more profitably than In the orchards ot
the Rocky mountain state!.

When Anybody Finds a Cure
He Is Generally Willing
To Tell His Neighbor
f The willingness of on neighbor to tell another neighbor In a
private way of the benefit received from Prruna, explains the
popularity of Peruna more than all the advertising thathas
been done.
. (f The fear of the publicity undoubtedly prevents the majority of
such people from writing a testimonial to be used In the newspa
per. But in spite of that we are receiving fine testimonials con
tinually. AJ5EMIAMr8" F' A DeW,tt' MrenKo, Ohio, says: "I believe Pe
runa to be the best tonic. I recommend it for any run
down condition of the syfetem."
SFRIKG COLDS Mrs- Rh0'1 Btufnebeam, Bunch. Iowa: "A
spring cold I took settled on my lungs. Cough
ed. Could not sleep. We feared consumption. Thanks to Pe
runa, I am a well woman today."
CATARRH Mr8' 8a(lle A,len Joseph, Oregon: "My little boy la
entirely cured of catarrh of the ears by Peruna,. Am
thankful for your good advice."
SPRIKS TCIalC Mr- Wra- McBoberts, Brown' Valley, Minn.:
"Taken in spring Peruna tones up the system,
acts as a tonic. I consider Peruna a whole family medicine chest."
f How did they hear of Peruna? 1
f Simply because one neighbor is always willing to tell another
one he has found a cure. Neighborly conversation or grateful
patients has done more for Peruna than advertising. Much more.
