is, 100 of Gano, 33 of Jonathan, 33 of York
Imperial, and 34 of Missouri Pippin.
In 1895 he sold nearly 21,780 bushels, put in cold storage 9000 bushels,
and sent to dryer 26,600 bushels, making a total for 1895 of 57,380
bushels.
In 1896 he set out, near Summit, Leavenworth county, 140 acres, making a
total acreage of 620 acres of Ben Davis, 76 of Winesap, 409 of Missouri
Pippin, 190 of Jonathan, 150 of York Imperial, 160 of Gano, 16 of
Maiden's Blush, and 16 of Cooper's Early.
During this time he sold thousands of bushels of "culls" that are not
counted in this statement, excepting in 1895. These culls sold, per
bushel, as follows: 1883, at 30 cents; 1884, at 15 cents; 1885, at 20
cents; 1886, at 13 cents; 1887, at 27 cents; 1888, at 14 cents; 1889, at
18 cents; 1890, at 20 cents; 1891, at 15 cents; 1894, at 20 cents.
For profit, Mr. Wellhouse puts the Jonathan first, Ben Davis second,
Missouri Pippin third, and Winesap fourth. He says Cooper's Early does
not pay him.
