t 3 n j I IDEAL CONDITIONS l OF ROGUE VALLEY j I Commissioner Carson Writes of Fruit ! Conditions in the Valley for the Fruit grower. Jackson eounty is the largest I eounty in the Rogue River valley. The Rogue River valley in this coun- try has a width of about sixteen i miles, and is twenty-five miles long. iThe .land in this expanse of valley faro a rieh alluvial deposit that in J early days was devoted to farm pro ! dtiuts. Wheat when the soil was new, j yielded from forty to fifty bushels I to the acre; corn, forty to sixty bushels, says A. II. Carson, horticul tiiriii fiommissioner for Southern Or- I eeon in his annual report. 'j The adaptability of this rich val ; jfy to the growth of all kinds of hor ' cultural products has made the land f this valley too valuable for grow- X of farm products, henoe at pres ent but little fanning is done. Year y year the planting of orchards is creasing, and a tew years more will ee this valley a vast orchard of ap ples, pears and peaches. Today, Oct., 1008) there are about twenty ive thousand ncres planted in ap ips, twelve thousand acres in pears, nd six thousand aores in peaehes i Jackson eoutny. ' Medford is the ,'uter uf the apple and pear iiidus ry, on the main line of the Southern 'ucific railroad for shipping facili ics. In all directions from Medford re apple and pear orchards, varying i size from ten to four hundred ores. Ashland, twelve miles southeast of "Medford, on the Southern Pacific, is cited on the edge of the valley at he beginning of the Siskiyou range, bn Ashland creek. While many ap- 4le and' pear orchards are in the vi- iimty of the cit5 as a peach-grow- g section it is the largest in the dis- .t Tho r,inthi s nrnnnd Ash and Kire all in peach orchards and the ainmnii chtntnpttts nt" npaches from Shis city run into the thousands. Jacksonville, the county seat ol Jackson oountv, is four miles west nf Medford at the beginning of the oothills. Fine aple, pear and peacu Sand adjoins the town, and the foot iills are the very best for growing kinds of European grapes. Whatever may have been said of Ilosephine county as a grape-growing frtiatnet can in tram oe snm 01 ,iuok- Jhon countv. Jackson and Josephine onnties are both in the Rogue River valley; climate and soil conditions re identical. The winters are mild; tlsnow rarely falls in the valley. It is unusual winter" that the ther mometer goes as low os 18 degrees above zero. The orchardist and the farmer does his plowing, planting and seeding in the Rogue River valley during the winter months; rarely does freezing weather occur. The Rogue River valley is rightly called the "Italy iif America." Trout are unable to ascend Evans ! creek because of lack of fishways over dams. NOTICE. At the M.
