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.
