It may not be necessary to use the simple appliances required but they will always bo ready for a possible emergency, do not deterio rate In value and be counts them a food paying Investment which can be maintained ready for use at any time at comparatively small expense Mr.Wrlgtat has an orchard of ono thousand bearing trees. With an In vestment of approximately $50 tor an thousand gallons of crude oil, and a like sum, perhaps for tin or sheet Iron for covers for the smudge holes but not taking Into account the pre paration of the holes and the labor incident to the "firing up." If the emergency should actually arise, Mr, Wright has confidence enough in the smudging theory to feel J-at bis crop of peaches is insured regardless of the antics of Jack Frott, The smudging theory'usually takes Into account as its most expensive feature fire pots for holding and burning the crude oil In, but this is a useless expenditure, according to Mr. Wright, -who has experimented enough, to satisfy himself that a lit tle mound and hole In Mother Earth will answer exactly the same purpfise and will retain the oil for weji which will not percolate even coarse granite cand found here. The tin or sheet Iron lids are for protect ing the hole and the oil from the weather and for extinguishing the fires when It Is desired to do so. He has also experimented with kerosene as an effective means of quickly set ting the crude oil aflame, but says that a gasoline torch is much more effective, and the fires can be lighted with It nffast as a man can travel That the land on the east side of near crook In tho Immediate vicinity of Ashland Is unsunlly active it In dicated by another deal Just an nounced and which la of the bighorn Importance to Ashland us ,tho land in question lies only three and a half miles from the heart of tlio city. The deed was filed in the county re corder's office Friday. It seems that Fred McMulmu nud wife have sold to Col. John F Mun dy of Medtord. the Addison Hnn com ranches contnlulng lt40 acres lying a ljttlo north of Ashland. While the deed says $100 and other valuable considerations. It Is known that the price was a very satisfactory ono. Rumor says that Colonel Mundy has sold a large Interest In this ranch to Portland and Medford par t'es, who will at once sub-dlvldo in small tracts, set It to fruit and boII. All of this Is might- interesting reading to Ashland people , as this place Is directly tributary to Ashland. The McMnhon plnco contains a large amount of fruit land Is well watered by numerous springs, and in the hands of tno right parties this land "111 bo very productive. From tho numerous trips which Q.

IF IT IS A BEARING ORCHARD YOU ARE LOOKING SHOW YOU FOR, LET US TRACT "P" This tract contains ten and a half acres, and upon it there are: 160 20-year-old Spitzenberg apple trees, 89 8-year-old Cornice pear trees, 27G 4-year-old Bosc pear trees, 71 4-year-old Newtown Pijpin grafts, 145 2-year-old Bosc and Cornice pear trees. Two hundred and fifty of the trees above mentioned are now in full bearing, 350 of them will begin bearing this coming season. Compared with previous records of this orchard, these trees ought to pro duce this coming season a crop the net value of which cannot bo figured less than $5500. Only 250 of these trees are in full bearing; and then again, there are 145 2-year-olds which have not been figured at all, but they will commence coining gold dollars for their owner in about three years. This tract can be bought for $12,000; only $3000 of this will be required to be paid at time of purchase; the remaining $9000 may be divided into three an nual payments of $3000 each. In three 'years' time this tract will have more than paid for itself. PERHAPS YOU WOULD PREFER A YOUNGER ORCHARD, LET US SHOW YOU IF SO, TRACT "J" This tract contains just an even nine acres, and it is all set to pear treos of the following varieties: 83 4-year-oldBartlett pear trees, 103 2-year-old Bartlett pear trees, 43 1-year-old Bartlett pear trees, 42 2-year-old.

The land has been "tried out" and has been proven of oxcollont quality for pears; that world record pear orchard joins this tract on tho east. It will not produce very many pears for a couple or three years, but the land will make big trees out or these now small ones, and every year's growth on an three tfot ist in the valley. The tract will cost you $5000; one-fourth of this to bo paid when the pur chase is made and the other three-fourths in three annual payments.
