Servtc Require Impression of lntad of Croaamark. Digit Former Mall Carrier Extol Life of Up-lo Data Frultrelser. I'ortlan i -On of the moat intereat ing addresses delivered be for Portland Apple Grower' association was givn by I, A. Maaon, a prominent Hood Kiver orcherdist. Tba subject was The Apple from Start to Finish." the apeakar giving th large audience pres ent a clear, concise story of apple pro duction from the practical standpoint. i'erhap th most Interesting part of Mr. Mason's a-ldreaa was that In wbicb he gave exact figures on tba proceed from an Oregon apple orchard. In bla Hood Kivr orchard ba bai juat two varieties, Newtown Pippin and Splts- enberg. In 1908 bla receipt from tba Spltxenberg were $835 an acre, and from tha Newtowna $760 an sere. This was the only year, h aaid, in wbicb the SpiUenberg brought larger returns than tb olhsr variety. In 1907 tb average return were $2(0 an acre; in 190s, $1, .00 an acr. and in 1009, $500 an acr. This year! bla tre ar 13 year old. Tbeae figure ar exact and not col ored In any way," aaid Mr. Maaon. It will be aeen that my orchard has brought me in gross receipts of $700 an acr aa an average for five years. All expense of maintenance amounted to about $200 an acre, leaving a net profit of $500 an acr. " This, of course, ia paying 10 pr cent on a valuation of $F,000 an acr. It look big, but it la nothing mor than any young man who gets bold of a good piece of Oregon apple land can do. It can be don In tb Willaimeite val ley. If you will! only select the right land, plant the beat varieties and give them proper attention. You will notice that my orchard brought in only $500 an acre last yesr. This, I believe, waa because the crop waa eo heavy the year before. The x traordlnary cold anap of laat winter leo contributed to it But I want to aay right now that this year gives vary indication of being on of tb beet that Hood Klvor has ever experi enced, I believe confidently that my orchard will again bring in at laaat $1,200 an acr.
