What the Hood River District Land Co. Offers
In Ten Acre Tracts
To sell TEN ACRES at $500 or $000 per acre, according to
location, on the following terms: 10 per cent cash and one
half of one per cent per month, with C per cent interest on
deferred payments.
To clear the land and set to'selected apple trees of stand
ard commercial varieties, and to care for same for five years at
the company's expense.
Argument No. 1
The benefits to the purchaser in following the above plan
are as follows: We send our experts direct to the nursery to
select each tree. An additional inspection is made by the local
fruit inspector, thereby securing a perfect tree.
Our employees are men who have been in the business for
ten years or more and who thoroughly understand setting out
trees. To illustrate: We dig a proper hole, mulch the ground,
pruning the roots and heading the tree properly. We protect
each tree with Yucca Tree Protectors. We cultivate the ground
every two weeks during the growing season, and care for the
property in a thoroughly expert manner up to the time we de
liver it to the purchaser.
Argument No. 2
This proposition enables the man or woman of small means
to retain his or her position and pay for the land out of their
monthly salary, securing for themselves at the end of five years
a piece of property that has doubled in value and should, com
paring with present returns on such property, make them in
dependent for the rest of their lives.
Argument No. 3
The sum and substance of the foregoing proposition is that
you loan THE HOOD RIVER DISlRICT LAND CO. your
money, on the best of security, to develop their land, and at
the end of five years divide the profits, the purchaser taking
about two-thirds and the company retaining about one-third.

China' Market for Apples
James CJ. McNally, United Statea
coiiBUl at TxliiKtau, China, la a re
cent report to consular bureau gives
aonie Interesting Information In re
ttard to the market tor apples In
China. He nays:
"A recent consignment of American
apples to the three leading dealers In
TMlngtau was duly advertised and
within a few days was sold. The
apples, not of first-class quality,
brought $0.50 Mexican, or $2 8:5 gold,
at the present bank rate of exchange
ler box of forty-six pounds. The
Japanese quality, a good and well
flavored article, Is selling at $2 4S
gold per case of fifty pounds.
"A little energy on the part of
American apple producers on the Pa
cific coust would create an almost
exclusive market here for their pro
ducts. 'If more effort were put forth by
growers of Pacific northwest apples
to enter this market they would
command the same reputation that
American can goods enjoy, and
would sell readily for the best price."

A bulleten from the Northwest
Fruit Exchange says:
The apple market continues firm
and steady. Latest reports from
New York. relating both to domestic
and foreign conditions are favorable.
The olliclal figuree regarding storHge
decreaKe In New York and vicinity,
for the month of January, are not
yet available, out iroin well inform
ed sources comes the Information
that It will make a very fine showing
It Is thought that New York will
show at least 175.000 to 200.000 boxes
less on I'ebraary 1st than on Janu
ary Int. This Is partially due to the
strong active market abroad, but as
January Is usually a dull month It
can be seen that this showing Is an
exceedingly encouraging one.

A Protest From Arizona
Clifton, Arizona. Feb. 3, 1911
Editor News:
Dear Sir Will you please find
space In your paper for a few lines
from me. Now 1 don't vant to knock.
j but would like to let people of Hood
Klver know that sometimes apples
are shipped f rem there that do not
come up to the standard. One case
I would like for the is-ople to know
about Is a car shipped by Page &
Son to the A. C. Company of Clifton,
Arizona, nnd marked "pack.xl by the
Hood Hlver I'nlon," thnt was surely
not iiu to the standard. Some
were so bruised that not moje than
five or six In a box could Is used.
and the solllcltor for the company
told me today t hat he had returned
a box that had only one good apple
In It. Now, as I have a small or
chard there myself. I am Interested
In an Investigation. The names of
the varieties that were not good are
as follows: Stark, Delaware Keds
Russian Keds and Hen Davis. The
Spltzenburgs came through tine.
It the union wants the packers
tuimtiers I will send them. Could
snv more, but as there Is another
shipment coming, will wait until It
arrives.
Anyone wanting to know any
more might address James A. Cook

BIG DEMAND FOR
TRAINEDFRUITMEN
Prof. C. I Lewis, head of the de
partinent of horticulture at the Ore
gon Agricultural College, has had
thirteen calls for graduates to fill po
sitions of Importance for wealthy
corporations and Individuals having
large orchards, wlthlu the past
month, which he has been unable to
supply, since all of the graduates are
ell her conducting profitable orchards
of their own or have already received
appointments elsewhere.
The demand for trained men with
western experience is not alone for
fruit ranches on the pHflttc coast,
but also for eastern growers who
wish to adopt similar methods. A
large corporation In Maryland, con
trolling thousands of acres of or
chards, w ishes to plant several thou
sand more, and has asked for a man
of sufficient caliber to command a
salary of $2."(H).
An eastern university writes for a
mau to fill the position of head of the
department of horticulture, and the
Canadian department of ugrlculture,
which appointed an O. A. C. man
last June, now wants another. Pa
cllic coast methods are to be In
stalled In large orchards near Cleve
land, Ohio, and an Oregon man Is
wauled to conduct the work.
One of the biggest development
companies on the coast, havlug thou
sands of acres In Its holdings, and
making extensive developments In
volving the expenditure of enormous
sums, will give f 2,H0 to the right
man. and wants one from the O. A.
C. Thirty Dakotans have a tract of
6,'HK) acres, for which they want a
foreman to superintend the planting,
spraying. Irrigation and general
care.
An Immense eastern company
with a capital of over a million,
now making developments In vari
ous parts of Oregon, asks the college
for a man to snperlntent 10,000 acres
of orchards among Its holdings.
Some JXMl acres In Western Washing
ton are owned by a Portland corpo
ration, which has a"ked for a fore
man. A man who has leen waiting six
months to get an O. A. C. graduate
to take charge of his liK) acre walnut
grove near Springfield. Ore.. Is com
ing to the college to press his plea,
and Prof. I'wls has only graduates
of the present short course to offer
him, all former graduates lielng
profitably employed.
In the Yakima Valley nnd other
parts of Washington are large tracts
of fruit lands held by a Seattle firm.
w hich has asked for an orchard su
perintendetit, am) a similar man Is
required by two Portland business
men for their combined holdings,
comprising large fruit ranches In the
Willamette Valley.
At the first of last July the college
had refused twenty requests for grad
uates to till good positions, being
unable to get men for them, since the
demand Is not only for college train
ing, but for western experience. If
I here were ."ill or I'm graduates every
year they could lie placed H'lvan
tngeoiisly The college needs men
for Its ow n ex riineiit station w or k.
j If the legislature now tn session
grants the appropriations requested
for the establishment of new branch
stations, the college will need nine
more men for this one branch of ex
tension work alone, next Jnne.
