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.
