Douglas County Particularly
Well Adapted for Many
Varieties.
PRUNES DISCUSSED
Valuable Informataion Is
Given by Experts at
Farmers' Week Con
ference Program.
The growing of flowering bulbs
offers an opportunity for the estab
lishing of a lucrative Industry In
Douglps county, it was declared at
the Farmers' Week conference pro
gram today. Clayton L. Long,
speaking on the "Outlook of Horti
culture," went Into considerable
detail regarding the possibilities
of this Industry, which has been
making great strides on the Pacific
coast and which has recently made
a rapid growth in Oregon, particu
larly around (I rants Pass, where
bulb farms have been conducted
with great profit.
Douulan county is particularly
well adapted to the growing of
several jtypes of bulbs that have an
unlimited market, Mr. Long de
clared, mentioning particularly the
Paper White narcissus and the Chi
nese Sacred lily as two varieties
that can be produced better in this
county than in any other locality
on the coast.
The Willamette valley tempera
ture is too cold, while California's
climate Is too hot, for these vari
eties, but Douglas county's mild
winters and summers afford a long
growing season particularly suit
able for these bulbs.
The Cnited States lu a nil let
quarantine on foreign stock, so
that the bulbs must be produced In
this country, and in view of the
limited facilities for growing, due
to climatical conditions, there is an
unlimited market.
Gladfolas, bill bus Iris, tulips,
lilies and hyacinth also can be pro
duced on a commercial very profit

Horticultural Day
Today's program was given over
almost entirely to horticulture, and
the meeting was well attended.

of the conference, and was ably di

E. Gurney. of Winchester, who was
called upon at the last moment to
preside. Mrs. O. C. Brown conduct
ed the turkey discussion in the af
ternoon. Many fruit growers gathered this
morning for the horticultural ses
sion, which concludes the confer
ence in Koseburg. as the meetings
move to Keed sport tomorrow for
Dairy Day. which Is the closing
program of the week's conference.
"Ways of Decreasing Cost of
Producing Horticultural Crops"
was the theme of an address at the
morning session by C. L. Long, ex
tension horticulturist, Oregon Ag
ricultural college.
"To Secure a margin of profit be
tween the hieh cost of production
and the relatively low price re
