An Orchard Survey ot Hood River.
Bulletin 09 of the Oregon Argicul
tural College Experiment Station, re
cently published, gives a report of
"An Orchard Sarvey of Wasco Coun
ty," by 0. I. Lewis and R. W. Allen.
From this bulletin, which may be
had free ou application to the Experi
ment Station at Corvallis, the follow
ing facts are gleaned.
In the Hood River district the orch-
The balance is made up of soma twen
ty other varieties.
Of pear trees there are i), 152 ; cher
ry trees 4.527; peach trees 7,180.
Eighty-two per cent of the apple trees
have been set out during the ast six
years.
Strawberries is the pioneer crop of
Hood River. They are planted ex
tensively in the young orchards where
they are allowed to remain until the
trees come into bearing and furnish a
mocii needed income while tho orch
ard is growing up aud producing only
epxense bills. The only berry grown
is the Clark Seedling, which is a re
markably good shipper, selling the
east season (l'.K)7) as high as 13.85 a
crate. It is a light bearer, 175 crates
being oonsidered a good crop. The
total acreage in strawberries at Hood
River is 756. Of this 5!)2 acres are
grown in orchards.
As a result of this orchard survey
the author of the bulletin draws a
few conclusions, among which may be
mentioned the following:
Fromg present indications, the Yel
low Newton and Spitzeuborg will
continue to be the leading varieties of
apples grown.
Irriagtion, which is bound to be
come a factor in the development of
the country, must be practiced with
care. Some growers are using it in
such a way that the tree and fruit are
likely to be injured. An average ol
one or two irrigations will be all that
will be needed on an average in a
bearing orchard. The problem is to
use as little water as possible.
Something must be done before long
to furnish the soils with humus and
plant food. Clover crops are one of
the best agencies to bring about these
results.
More care should be used in the dis
tances and systems in planting orch
arsds. In most of the young orchards wind
breaks oould be used to advantage.
As to pruning, the majority of
growers do not head the trees back
severely enough during the first few
THE STRENGTH OF
SAMPSO N
is AS NOTHING WHEN COMPARED WITH
THE POWER DEVELOPED BY
A Stover Engine!
The Stover Engine is built in both the Hor
izontal and Vertical sizes and ranges in
power from five to 40 hocse power. The
Stover Engine often develops more than its rated power. It is simply con
structed and has very few working parts. It is easy to control and needs very
little attention. A man does not need to be a mechanic to understand and
operate a Stover.

Hool Hiver Valley lies botween two
r.iuges of high hills or mountains, op
ru to the north where the Columbia
marks its bouudary. There are three
natural divisions of the district,
namely, the west side, or that part
lying between the Hood river and the
mountains to the west, the east side,
lying east ot the river and extending
southward to a distance of about ten
miles from the Columbia; and south
of these extending for a distance of
ten or twelve miles is the upper val
ley const it ititig the third division.
The elevation of the orchards nearest
the river is about 200 feet. Ia the
main valley the altitude averages
about (UK) feet. The Willow Flat dis
trict averages 1310 feet, and the mid
dle valley and Mount Hood districts
range from 13,"0 to 2000 feet.
The whole valley has au east or
west slope, and the orchards are lo
cated with a good exposure as to light
and air drainage.
Iu the Hood Kiver valley six dis
tinct soils are fouud. but at Mosier
ami The Dalles the orchards are most

far as ehomistry can tell us, the soils
are not rich. The nitrogen is much

HISTORY
1 The year 1908 will mark an important period in centrifugal
Cream Separators. Probably never again will such a large num
ber of valuable Seperator improvements be brought forth as are
now shown in the new improved 1908 De Laval machines.
After thirty years of ceasless testing and experimenting, the
really perfect Cream Separator has at last been produced in the
New De Laval. Nothing anywhere near like it has ev er been
'made before and all who have seen and examined it marvel at the
'ijreat degree perfection attained in every feature of the machine
.from the supply can to the base. Although the improved De
Laval hns only recently been placed on the market it is already
SWEEPING ALL COMPETITION ASIDE and experienced
'buyers everywhere are saying of it "YOU DON'T CLAIM
iNEARLY ENOUGH." The many new De Laval improvements
life of almost equal importance with the invention of the separa

lyou may have a free demonstration of the machine in your
own home for the asking. , ( ... . -Kvht
