18 THE MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 28, 190.9. NEWTOWN KING PMISES VALLEY John W. Dennis, Newtown Apple King of Great Britain, Says Rogue Fruit Leads the Entiro Globe. -t-4--f-f John Vf. Dennis, tho New town npplo king of Qrcnt Britain, snys: "Rogue River frait is su perior to any other that reaches England from tho en tire globe." Rogue River fruit com mands highest prices because of its superior quality. It reaches England in splendid condition. There is no reason why Medford Bartletts should not be shipped to England, with a precooling station in this city. a "The Rogue River valley produces the finest fruit that reaches England and that is the sole reason that the highest prices are paid for it. Your pears have no competitors the world over." Such was the unqualified state ment of John VT. Dennis, the New town apple king of Great Britain, who visited Medford recently nud who has been handling Rogue River fruit for the past 12 years. 5L Dennis' firm imports the greatest amount of fruit received by any one firm in England, and also has han dled the fruit which has broken the world's records in prices. lie awards to the Rogue River valley the palm of supremacy in tho raising of high quality fruit. "This is a wonderful valley," stat ed Mr. Dennis, "and your frnit is al ways in demand. No other section on the globe enjoys ns splendid a reputation in England ns does Rogue River. Your fruit arrives in Eng land in the very best of condition and its quality is unsurpassed. "I am glnd to learn that the local orehnrdists are considering the erec tion of a . precooling station in the valley. There is no reason why your Hnrtlctt pears should not be shipped to England, where tho demand for them is large. "This year Hood River, your only competitor in Newtown apples, has a light crop, and your fruit will bring high returns. The Virginia Newtown crop is heavy, but tho quality of the fruit is not ns fine. There is no doubt but what tfie Rogue River val ley fruit leads the world." Tho firm of which Mr. Dennis is tho head, has the finest distributing system in England. They own ware houses in tho four large seaports- London, Southampton, Liverpool and Glasgow, as well as warehouses n:ui offices at Lester, in tho heart of the manufacturing district of England. The system for distribution whioh has been built up is elaborate and they do much tho largest business of any similar firm in England.

Conro Fiero, who recently purchased the J. W. Meyers orchard tract near Central Point, has realized a net profit of $550. This is among the records for returns on summer apples. They were sold in Portland and sold for a price which netted the owner nearly $2 a box. Tho 50 trees cover less than a half acre of ground and prove again that orchard land in the Rogue pays over $1000 an acre annually. It is records like this one which leads local land owners to realize what a bonanza they have in their orchards, but ns yet do not place anything like an actual valuation on their 'holdings. What valuation can be put on an orchard which pans out from $500 to $2250 per acre from a single crop of fruit? Figure it out. Ten acres of the right varieties of- apple or pear trees in this valley -will, when in full bearing, produce an average of $3000 to $0000 net income per annum, und instances are actually occurring every year where these figures are exceeded. From the day that local horticulturists realized these facts and the commercial world became aware of the possibilities of the trade, progress has been sure and swift in raising apple-growing from the plane of an experiment to the dignity of the leading source of revenue, saving only mines, in the Roguo River valley. Tho incentive of the extremely high prices realized for tho output, which ' prices appreciate rapidly from yenr to year, in spite of tho rapidly enlarging orchard area, has brought about the em ployment of the most modern methods of handling orchards in this valley, where tho gasoline spray engine was first used in the history of horticulture in the world. The apple and pear orch ards of tho Rogue River valley are toduy the best and cleanest on earth, aud tho output is deserving of the high prices it is receiv ing in all markets. 4- -4- f W. H. Nudlng, a well known phy sician ot northeastern Ohio, who has receatly located In Medford, has re-j colved tho following letter dated at Spokano from Thomas Armear, ox-' county treasurer of San Juan county, 1 Colorado, a former representative ' and stato senator of tho centennial . stato, who has toured tho fruit sec-' lions of the west with a view to seek ing tho best location.
