OREGON FRUIT
CAUSES ENVY
Representatives of Horti
cultural Interests Speak
Highly of Oregon
In the eourtio of an iutorview pub
lished iu Tuesday's Oregon iaii, William
I'. Stark, president of the Missouri
state board of hortielture, says of Ore
jjuii fruit:
- "Undeniably Oregon is one of the
x greatest fruit 'sections in the country.
Our state is interested particularly in
the growing of applet and from the in
vestigation we have made coupb'd with
our prior knowledge of the quality of
this fruit produced in Oregon, we are
convinced that your state is entitled to
the, fame it enjoys as a fruitgrowing
district
" Ifortii'iilturally, Oregon has a great
many advantages over Missouri. In the
first place both climate and soil are
adapted to fruit culture and you do not
have to contend with the unfavorable
weather conditions and numerous pets
with wchich our state is infested. You
havo practically no apple scab while
our prop this year is seriously affect
e.l with this blight. Again, you liav
a compulsory spraying law. In our state
it is optional with the grower whether
ho takes this precaution to insure good
fruit.
Advantages of Organization.
"Your growers are organized and de
rive the benefits from systematic meth
ods adopted in growing the fruit, park
iug. shipping and market nigh On1 prod
net. The Oregon orchard ist also de
Votes his time and attention exclusive
ly to fruitgrowing while in M issouri
fruit culture is followed only as a sidi
issue. Lack of orgauizat ion and co
operation among the growers completes
the explanation for the posit ion om
state occupies horticulturally.
"With the except ion of fruit t h
crops throughout the middle west will
be enormous this year. First the frost
injured our fruit pronpeets and then
a cold rain lasting 20 days during i lie
period of fertilization completed the
damage. Farmers in Missouri, Kansas.
' - Nebraska, Iowa and Illinois were never
more prosperous. Many of them own
automobiles and instead of 'mortgage
plastered' farms it is not at all unusual
to find the farmer holding mortgages
"Our section of the country has quite
entirely recovered from the effects of
the financial disturbance last fall. In
fact, during the flurry many of tin
smaller cities continued on a cash bnsi
while their business interests apparent
ly sustained no ill effects from the de
pression. ' '
KLAMATH MARSH IS
TO BE RECLAIMED
KLAMATH FALLS. Or.. August 1!).
Chief Engineer (.'ode of the Indian
department and Kngineer Hill, inspectoi
of Indian irrigation systems, arrived in
the city yesterday from t ho Klamath
agency and went out on the boat tlii:
moming. They made a thorough iims
tigation of the reclamation project
for the Klamath reservation and as h
result work will begin in about three
weeks on the drainage of 2",no acre!
of marsh laud. The work will be under
the supervision of Major II (.!. Wilson,
the superintendent of the reservation.
This land will add greatly to thf
value of the reservation, as it will
make excellent meadow and pasture.
It comprises only a portion of t lie
marsh included in the survey for tin
reclamation project that has been nil
der coiifidtration for the past few
veil rs.
SALT LAKE PUBLICATION
BOOSTS ROGUE RIVER VALLEY
A recent issue of Goodwin 's Weekly,
a publication of Salt Lako City says:
The Technical World tells about some
Oregon orchards, and it ought to be
good reading to Utah farmers and horti
culturists because Oregon is not any
better fruit country than Utah. Tin
account says that V II. Hopkins, in the
Rogue River valley in southern Oregon,
in 1907 made a profit of $10,000 of H
acres of winter N'elis pcars.$l,l(7.fio
an acre. In the same valley O. H.
Hover bought ten acres of pear orchard
at $-"00 an acre and fiften montnH later
tald a crop for $,000.
The account says these are obscure
valbys, narrow and diminutive, mere
pockets between the mountains. That
is not quite true. Rogue River valley
is about the most beautiful valley in
the world. To stand at its northern end
and look down the valley, the landscape
is one of the moM beautiful picture to
be seen in the world.
The world is just beginning tod in
cover the fast that the science of farm
ing is but in its infancy, and what may
be obtained from the soil by intelligent
labor and management has so far prov
ed sufficiently to show that tilling the
soil properly is a source of vast profit
and. not like a mine, the ri.-hei are re
newed every year with inersl
quantities.

head Indian springs Wo expect to hear
of the prowess of Mr. lieagan, as he
went heavily armed with rod and line
and ' ;io :til, ' ' Stand back. boys, and
see "something doing."
We congratulate Judge Xeil that he
has had the courage to journey over
the roads from the valley to Big Butte
section, even though he did so in the
summer. He cannot but notice the
makeshifts in working the road in the
hills and the urgent necessity of put
ting there mountain highways in trav
el;! ble condition for the winter. Let
him see to the bridges, culverts, deep
holes, etc., and ii he wants to know
what the people have endured take a
trip in a common farm wagon over the
roads in winter; but we believe Judge
Xeil will see (hat they are repaired
and the money of the taxpayers wisely
used.
