The Chicago Packer Publishes Col
pmn Dealing With This
Valley.
The Chicago Pueker, a Chicago
publication devoted to frtut, contains
the, following writoup of tho Kogue
River valley:
MKDKOK1V Or., Sept. This
place is in the center of the Kogue
River valley, one of the noted fruit
growing sections of Oregon. Every
body, almost has heard of the great
Rogue River valley, and everybody
who is nt all interested in fruits
knows what a wonderful section this
is for the production of some of the
finest deciduous fruits that are grown
in the great western country.
The leading fruit crops in the vi
cinity of Medford are peairs and ap
ples. Other fruits are grown exten
sively, such as peaches, plums and
grapes, but the acreage of all these
is small as compared with that of
pears and apples. The varieties of
pears grown here are Bartlett, Co
rnice, Winter Nelis and Anjou. The
acreage of these and the amount of
the shipments of each come in the
order named, the Bartlett leading.
The movement of the Bartletts to.
market began about August 15 and
since thou carlots have been going out
steadily. The' crop this year is uu
nsunlly good and the yield is heavy.
The quality, also, is fine, the fruit
being of good size and remarkably
clear of defects. It is estimated that
the movement of pears from this sta
tion will not fall much short of 200
ears. The lowest estimate that has
been put on the yield is 175 ears.
This is a big increase over the ship
ments of last year, when the move
ment totaled 120 cars. This increase
is partly owing to a better crop and
partly to the new orchnrds that have
come into bearing. These pears are
shipped largely to New York, where
they are distributed among the mar
kets of the. east or exported to Eng
land and European countries. They
are of the verv best carrying quali
ty and reach eveu the European mar
; kets in the best of condition.
The varieties of apples growu here
are numerous, but the lenders, in the
order named, are: Newtown, Spitzcn
berg, Jonathan, Winesap and Arkan
sas Black. All these varieties do
well, both as to the amount of the
yield and the quality. It is estimated
that there will be in the neighborhood
of 225 curs to ship from this station
this year. The largest per cent of
these will be Newtowns, and they are
going to be unusually fine. It is
flaiuied that a large part of these
apples run four tier now, and yet they
are not nearly done growuig. . 1 hey
are not only large, but are smooth and
clean, and an uncommonly large por
tion of them will go in the first, or
1'ancyi puck.
The peach, crop in this immediate
part of the valley is short this year
and the shipments are light. The
weather last winter was unusually
cold and the peach crop suffered se
verely. It is the first time in years
that any great damage has resulted
to fruit in this section from cold
weather.
The bulk of the apples from here
go to New York. From there' the
Newtowns arc forwarded to Europe,
' while most of the other varieties are
distributed among the markets of the
Atlantic coast states.
It is expected that of the apple
shipments from Medford at least 75
cars will be Newtowns nnd all of
these will go into the export trade or
at least practically all of them.
Fruit lands luive reached a big
price in this section, but people buy
them and are anxious to get them, so
they, must be a paying proposition.
Prices are advancing all the time
and thousands of new trees are being
nut out every year. Medford now
l.nnsls a fruit minor of its own. It
is the Rogue River Fruit Grower, pub
lished monthly, and gotten np in mag
azine form and beautifully illustrat
ed. Charles Meserve is the editor.
The growers hero have received
e-ood prices for their pears this year,
and arc expecting good prices for
their apples. In fact, this promises
to be a highly profitable season to
the fruit growers of tho west.
Tho names of shippers who market
the Medford fruits, together -with
some of the growers, npcared in
The l'ackcr Bulletin of September ft.
ORANTS PASS, Or. The fruit
growing industry is comparatively
new at this plneo and the acreage is
still small, esxcially of bearing trees.
However, it has been demonstrated
that fruit can be grown here as suc
cessfully and profitably ns at any
other point in this slate. Tho or
chard neroage is being increased very
rapidly, and within a few years this
will be one of the big shipping points.
Apples do as well hero as they do at
Medford, and so do pears. This place
is only about 30 miles from Medford
and is situntod at tho lower end of
tho Kogue River valley.
This year there will be in the
neighborhood of 25 ears of winter
apples to go to market from this sta
tion. This is about the samo as the
shipments of last year. They ore
mostly "Newtowns and SpiUonbergs.
There would have been a good many
more cars on account of the increase
in the aercngo of bearing orchards
had tho crop not been shortened ma
terially by a freeze.
There will bo about six cars of
pears to go from here this year,
against four cars last, year.
There was also a good lot of early
fruit, such as peaches, berries, grapes
etc.

Pass appeared in The Packer Bulle

ASHLAND. Or. Some of the fin
est orchards in the Rogue River val
ley are located adjacent to Ashland,
and while as yet the frujf shipments
from here are not as heavy as they
are at some other points, they are
growing very rapidly each year. This
place, like Grants Pass, is compar
atively new in the fruit growing bus
iness, and the orchard acreage is not
so large yet. and much of that that is
out is not yet of a bearing age. To
show how well fruit growing pays in
this section it is only necessary to
mention the fact that from the Helms
orchard, consisting of eight acres, the
fruit netted the owners in one sea
son $12,000. This appears to be
pretty good fruit growing, and it
seems like it should ho satisfactory
to the growers.
. This year there will be about 25
cars of apples to go from Ashland,
against five cars last year. There
were 25 cars of peaches this year,
which is about the same amount as
sent out last year. There were some
pears this year, but the amount was
small, probably about one car in all.
The apples will go east largely,
though a good many are sold in the
nearby markets. The peaches this
year found sale in the Portland, Ta
eoma, Seattle and Spokane markets,

"Mr. Frank C.'IIanrahan, a promi

savs: "For the past six years I have
sold and recommended Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.
It is a great remedy and one of the
best patent medicines on the market.
I handle some others for the same
purposes that pay me a larger profit,
but this remedy is so sure to effect
a cure, and my customer so certain
to appreciate m recommending it to
him, that I give it the preference."
