GREATEST OF FRUIT REGIONS.
Between fovtv and fifty thousand acres of orchards
will have been planted by the end of the present season
in the Rogue River valley tributary to Medford. This
means over one-third the orchard area of the entire state.
Hood River valley is rapidly developing, rapidly be-
ins planted and" much boomed. It is heard of to the. ex
elusion of other sections in the north yet the entire or
chard area of Hood river is less than 10,000 acres less
than .the area of new orchards that will be planted in tin
Rogue River valley alone this, season.
There are' in bearing in the Rogue River valley at the
present time only a few hundred acres of matured or
chards vet the harvest is sufficient to send hundreds of
carloads of fancy apples and pears to every part of the
world and the fruit commands the highest market price
everywhere, because of its superior flavor and unusual
keeping qualities, and hundreds of thousands of dollar
flow into the valley in exchange.
If 1000 cars arc shipped out of the valley today, bring
ing in over a million dollars .returns, in ten years, with
forty or fifty tunes the acreage in bearing, there will be
40,000 or 50,000 cars of fruit shipped and from $40,000,000
to $DO,000,000 a year returns.!
Think what the future of Medford will bo then for by
this time the orchard area will he proportionately increased
and Medford without question be the center of the world's
- largest fruit belt.
There is no danger of overdoing it for only a few re
gions can produce the quality of fruit that comes in com
petition with that of Medford, and the demand increases
faster than the supply.

to bare ou our list several first-class tracts,
