A space from three to six feet in width, according to the age of the tree, is left tor constant cultivation and the remaining paee is utilized for crops. Sometimes grain is the crop, cut either fur hay or grain, sometimes potutocsli ficipicnlly mel ons, often alfalfa, which in such in stances is usually cut for hay. but the most common crop is corn, which is usually grown without irrigation. These by products of the orchard are a great aid (o the fruitgrower, furnishing means to susliVui his fam ily during the growing period of the "rchard. The various crops do not injure the young trees in the slight est. There are hundreds of acres of new orchards now waving fields of 'een corn, which has already at tained a heigh! of from two to three feet and will soon hide Ihe young tries. Corn dues well in the Rogue River valley, either with, or without irrigation, and is grown extensively. Tt brings best returns by the "hog route.'' The fodder is made into ennlnge and is packed in silos for wintering slock. At Tuesday evening's session of the citv council the proposition of buying a block nt the corner of Jack son and B streets as a site for the county courthouse will be considered. The block is owned by the Southern Pacific company and has recently been placed upon the market. A number of buyers bave been after the block, but A. S. Rosenbauui, the agent of the Southern Pacific, has put them off until after the council meeting this evening in order to give the city a chance. A number of the councilmen have looked the block over and there seems to be a consen sus of opinion that the city would be making a good buy by purchasing the lot which can be obtauied for $4050, one-third down and one third each of two years., For some time there has been n constant agitation to have the court -j house removed from Jacksonville to Medford. If this is ever done tba city , would probably have to spend much more than $5000 for n sitet. t ' is now proposed to take time by the 1 forelock and purchase a site. The mutter will be threshed out this eve-. ning. The Southern Pacific on Sunday placed upon Ihe market its holdings in Medford. which are valued at about .$25,000. The lots have been off the market for several years and they went like Ihe proverbial hot cakes.
