TREE FRUITFUL AFTER 63 YEARS Monument Erected fo Shield This Old Apple Peru, Towa, Feb. 19 (#-—An apple tree so famous that a monument has been built in tribute to it stands in the orchard of W. B. Landis, and continues to produce apples at the age of 63. It is the parent of all apple trees of a famous variety., Last year it produced more than flve bushels of sound, red, five-pointed apples. Developed by accident, the tree hds been kept thriving by the pains- taking efforts of tree surgeons. Doc- tors and dentists of orchard culture have in the aged veteran their best client. The decayed wood of its trunk is periodically removed and replaced with a special concrete filling. The trunk has been rebuilt with steel vertebrae, and the roots are watch- | cd for symptoms of old age like a dentist searches for cavities. Limbs and branches are kept cut ! away 8o that the limited cadmium layer of the trunk will not exhaust itself in carrying plant food to the upper tree. ‘When a pioneer orchardist named Hiatt set out a Bellflower tree in his garden in 1864, the young plant dwindled. But the seedling root re- mained, and was grafted to another branch. The hybrid flourished. After Hiatt died, orchardists sponsored a boulder monument in the park at ‘Winterset, nearby county scat, to perpetuate his name and the tree he | developed. ix Condemned Convicts Given Temporary Stay Joliet, Ill., Feb. 10 (A)—S8ix con- victs sentenced to be hanged hers Friday for slaying a deputy warden in & prison break last May gained a new lease on life yesterday when Circuit Judge Arthur De 'Selm granted a stay until March 4 to permit an appeal to the state su- preme court.
