WILIU'R, Ore.. Feb. 4, 1925.
Editor News-Keview: I note iu a
recent copy of the NewtvKeview
a request by the chamber of com
inerce that suggest. ons be sub
mitted regarding new work for
the year of 1925. To one, who
la interested as a fruit grower in
Douglas county, it would appear,
that our most vital and prying
work for the new year is the sav
ing of our vanishing apple and
pear orchards in this county."
. For those familiar with the high
priced fruit of eastern Washing
ton, who have st-en the perl vet
speclments exhibited at the Kose
burg Land Products show, the
sight of our, miles ou miles of
ruined and neglected apple and
pear orchards is simply appalling
at a time too, when fruit prices
are at the top notch.
South of Drum are t00 acres tf
apples, pears and prunes slowly
sinking into ruin; around Suther
lin are hundreds of acres of what
was once slendid orchards, simply
going wild.
Douglas County is mil of these
neglected tuid half-ruined or
chards. This appears ahnost pre
posterous viewed, in the fact, that
thee fruit tracts can to a large
extent be made to produce as
splendid a fruit as the finest pro
ducts of Yakima, Washington.
Any fruit expert who has sy n
the Rose burg fruit show will sub
stantiate this statement. While
our orchards are sinking into
ruin, fruit growers with the same
Identical fruits thut Douglas coun
ty can produce, are obtaining the
following prices in the VakUua
Valley:
Italian prunes, per ton. ...$75.00
Bartlett Pears, ton i0.OU
Delicious Apples, box .... 3.15
Home lieauiy apples, box.. 1.75
Jonathans, per box 1.80
Spitzenbergs, per box.,.. 2.00
Yellow Newtons, box 2.05
Winesaps, per box 2.75
Winter Bananas, box. . . . l.yo
South of Oakland is the neg
lected and delapidated remains of
what was once 140-J acres ol line
pears, known as "'fhenoveth
Park." In its hay-day, this tract
filled the ware houses of Oakland
with the finest fruit ever seen inJ
Douglas county. Not long ago,
pear grower from Selah, uhiiuJ
ton, viewing with astonishment
the large pears growing iu this
Park, made the statement thut
Fruit buyers buy our fruit at
per acre for no belter pear land.
It doubtless reminded him of the
story of the city who's inhabit
ants slept 100 years awaiting the
blowing of the magic horn, thai
was to awaken them.
It is high time some Ruben
found that horn and tooted it in
Douglas county. The lloer far
mers in South Africa sturvud out
on land full of diamonds. Here
In Douglas county we are follow
ing their example with our or
chards. Kip Van Winkle certain
ly hud nothing on us; that old
boy only slept 20 years, and then
woke up!
Here in Douglas county, Han
kers, merchants and the fruit
growers are ail peacefully snooz- :
ing together. ' In the meantime
"slick tongued fruit buyers', are
making regular tri getting what
little fruit is rained, at a traction j
of its value. Our little beauty '
Bleep is costing us dear, when wo
get $23 per ton for our prunes,
Washington growers get $75.00;
when we get 50 per ton for our
pears, they increase to !0.
Fruit buyers buy on rfiuit at
tho one price, and Washington
fruit at several times higher; then
resell the entire output at the
Bame price and we are left to
hold the sack.
Our Governor once said, "when
ever a buyer desires something
lor nothing, he comes to Oregon
to get it." The h of it all is,
glibly told, our frg'ts are not
as good as Yakima or Hood river
fruits Hunk! Let skeptics go to
