Opp. rostoffice Science and Money Applied to the Growing of Apples An Extensive Experiment Over 25,000 Apple Trees Planted -MrCono's Tlace on Flat Top Mountain Surpasses Vanderbllt's Blltmore Estate In Altitude and Beauty of Lo- cation. 1 Corret pondence ol the Charlotte Ohterrtr. Blowing Rock, Aag. 30. As the de- veloDment of the resources of the Uni ted States progresses there are chang ing phases of different interests and it becomes of the utmost importance to watch the experiments that bring about the changes. The wheat and flour interest went from the East to the West and now seems to be coming back In a more 01 less extent to the Soutneast. The cattle Interest went westward and this too seems to be mov ing now southward. The subject of fruit is an exceedingly interesting and varied one and it is a subject that is of the greatest interest to the favored sec tions of the Southeast. At Blowing Bock there is a develop ment being made In the fruit culture on a large scale and with every fa cility that science and I money can bring to bear on the subject. Mr. Moses H. Cone in lbttf having his at tention drawn to the favorable condi tions existing in the mountains of North Carolina for horticulture and for pomology in particular purchased near Blowing Kock the necessary land and planted an orchard of about 1,000 trees including apples, pears, peaches and others, -binding much interest in this orchard and becoming further in terested In the subject Mr. Cone laid plans for a far more extensive experi ment. His motive was two fold, (1) his work as a manufacturer and mer chant, both on a large scale, made some diversion necessary to occupy him in bi summer rest and (2) be conceived that a comprehensive exhibit of what could and could not be done in horti culture in the North Carolina moun tains would be ot value to the tttate and to humanity. I . '- Commencing in 1893 and continuing up to the present time Mr. Cone has acquired something over 3,000 acres of land near Blowing Rock at an average altitude of about 4,000 feet above the 43a. He has 60 far planted the follow ing fruit trees : APl'LE TREES, LISTED IN THE ORDER OF - I THEIR QUALITY. Spitzenberg John at ban ...... Albemarle Fippen. . . .. Virginia Beauty . .... ... .

Taking the apple tree alone as a ba sis for calculating possible results we have the following as a possibility after 12 year. With the! attention that each tree is to receive to bring it up to its highest state of cultivation at the end of 12 years a crop of 6 bushels to the tree may be reckoned upon. This from 25,000 trees would, make 150,000 bushels of apples which at market prices would yield with rail road facilities 40 to 75 cents a bushel at the tree according to the state of the market. Counting 50 cents as a reasonable expectation, the crop would yield in money $75,000. This means a result after 12 years ot continuous scientific care and expenditure of money and no returns in the mean time. ' Mr. Cone recognizes that the pro duction of fruit is a hazardous under taking chiefly because of the diseases and insects to whicb the trees are sub ject and that the above result Is con tingent upon the possibility of pre venting by careful attention and scien tific knowledge constantly brought to bear on the subject the Interference with the crops by insects and tree dis- ease, mis is tne experiment that he is making. I have seen some trees on Mr. Cone's place that are now 15 to 20 years old bearing at least 15 bushels tothe tree of-very fine fruit. It is therefore evident that if this could be done continuously and on a large scale, giving this full crop once in two years which is usual, the business could be made very profitable. Aliowlng for a somewhat lower average and other de ficlences, the giving of a full crop once In three years would be easily possible as far as the tree, soil and climate are concerned. Even this would give an average annual, income of $25,000 per year and considering that the markets remain as they have been in the recent, past. - ; In the 12 years In which there will be no income the cost of the cultiva tion of this orchard, will be something like $4,000 per year making an outlay of say In round numbers, $50,000, out side of the first cost of the land, of which there is 3,000 acres, and the planting. Most of the trees are on steep mountain slopes protected by rock wall terraces built for the par pose. Mr. Cone is now -negotiating to em ploy a scientific horticulturist to live to on his place and look after the tiees. For the proper cultivation and growth of these trees four things are absolutely essential : : 1. Cultivation. 2. Fertilization. 3. Pruning. 4. Spraying. Each one of these requires elaborate knowledge for different tolls, seasons And circumstances. This knowledge and skill will be expected to be brought to bear through the scientific superintendent who will be employed. lhere will be a force of men kept em ployed at all times to do the work. The superintendent will have several assistants who are practically posted In fruit culture. ar m lit. uone is oniiding a summer hjuseat Blowing Bock and will give much personal attention to this fruit farm during the summer months. Fronting the house, from which there is seen an unsurpassed landscape, and far below the bouse, he is having a dam built across one of the mountain streams which will make a lake cover ing about 25 acres. He has built more than seven miles of drives, through his land lying on Flat Top mountain, leading through as picturesque land scape as can be found in America. From several points on these drives there are lookouts over a vast pano rama of mountain peaks, ridges and deep valleys of unsurpassed beauty and grandeur. The view comprises landscape beginning at the Pilot mountain covering Morganton, the Yadkin valley all the way to it source at Blowing Rock, also covering the Catawba valley, with King's mountain in the distance. It also overlooks Morganton, the entire Black moun tain range and terminates at the Roan in the west. Northwesterly may be seen the Smoky mountains dividing North Carolina and Tennessee and views extending Into four States, viz.1. North Carolina South Carolina Vir ginia and Tennessee. The view from the porches of Mr. Cone s new house will extend from Pilot mountain covt erlng Morganton, the Black mountain; the Roan and the Smokies, a distance of more than 200 miles. Flat Top Mountain is peculiarly notable for having a wonderful plateau at such a height, 4,500 feet, covered with such fertile soil and perfect growth of tim ber and foliage. ne altitude 01 Mr. cone's develop ment is more than twice that of the Vanderbilt undertaking near Asheville and his landscape from three to five times as extensive.' Besides the fruit farm Mr. Cone will Interest himself in stock, as he has more than 400 acres in grass. He will give particular atten tion to the subject of beef cattle and mutton. He will buy both sheep and cattle next spring and make a start in this department of the farm. 1 There is nothing In this or relating to it that is in rend ed for making money. It is undertaken for personal later est and for what public good may result. The chances are being taken as to whether, by such an expenditure extending over so long a period the land can be made to produce the result in profit above' estimated or whether more or less profit or no profit at all is the outcome. At any rate Mr. Cone is making most excellent entertainment for himself in a climate the tonic effects of which are nnequaled in the world, j 1 have suggested to Mr. Cone that he have records kept of the develop ment of these orchards, giving what troubles may present themselves, by what remedies these are overcome, and what, fn the end, the outcome is. Out of such records, including photographs of the growth of the tiees from year to yesr, a book could be made which would make a standard work on po mology and other fruit growing in mountains of western North Carolina. The principal apple growing sections of the United States are In the Ozark -mountain regions of Kansas, Arkansas and Missouri, in Michigan, In western New York and In New England. Can ada is also a large producer of apples. There is quite an export trade in. ap ples. In England especially American apples are popular and in good de mand. It is a business in which there is a large and growing market and one bat will deserve the attention of the people in the mountainous portions of his State. D. A. Tompkins. UNCLE SAM'S HOT BATHS.

Some of Our Soldiers in Hos pitals In Cuba ana Porto Rico Used as Much as Three Hun dred Grains a Week, More' than 125,000,000 grains of quinine have been consumed by Amer ican soldiers during the past year. In some cases men who were in the hos pitals in Cuba and Porto Rico used as much as 300 grains a week, and hardly any have failed to use the drug at some period of their service. It is stated that the people of this country con sume one-third of the quinine of the world, the drug being used in the prep aration of many patent medicines, ton ics, bitters, cold cures, etc , as well as In pills and In bulk, and a consider able quantity Is consumed in the man ufacture of hair tonics. The official figures to the treasury bureau of statistics show that- there were imported last year into the Uni ted States 1,639,056,750 grains of qui nine, and as there was practically no export of this article, this means that the consumption of quinine was about twenty grains for each inhabitant. As is well known, quinine, Peruvian bark and calisaya bark are the prod ucts of the cinchona tree, which Is a native of Western South America, more particularly of Peru and Ecuador. Now, however, but a email part of the supply comes from that region. At present two-thirds of the quinine con sumed is produced in Java from culti vated trees. For many years the Dutch Govern ment was urged to undertake the cul tivation of this plant from Peru. Fi nally this was accomplished and a arg8 number of specimens of the dif erent varieties were obtained bv bota nists, who took them to Java in 1852. The English Government also started cinchona plantations in India which now produce large quantities of qui nine. Scientific American. For Over Fifty Tears.
