TOMATOES PAY WELL. to Grants Pass Farmers Doublo Thoi Acroage. Grants Pass. The tomato industry of Rogue River valley has made rapid strides, particularly since the erection of the cannery last year, and tli small farmer and berry-raiser have iound it profitable to set out i laud with the young plants. Tin year's acreage will be double that o last year, and it is anticipated that it will increase in like manner for several years, for the reason the can nery has a capacity to take all th growers can produce for the next five years; in fact, it is understood that the company will contract that effect. The plants do well here whe planted in rows five and six feet apart, and planted in this manner they will usually produce from 20 to 40 tons an acre, and nnd ready mar ket at $10 a ton for chiming purposes Ihc necessary expenses for harvest ing and marketing arc $25 an acre 1 he tomato plant, if properly culti vatcu. will grow from four to iiv feet high, and cover a nroncrtionat space. Visitors who have looked ove the field where the matured plants arc laden with fruit, have remarked that they looked more like trees than vines. During the picking season which opens in August and extend through November, men. women an children arc employed to harvest tli crop. Owing to the soil anil rank growth of the plant, many find it necessary to prune the vines after they have bloomed, so as to divert the energy of the tree into the fruit instead o vine and foliage. All raisers use racks. This keep the fruit clean, holding the vine off the ground and preventing rot. It is estimated that $200 can be realized as a net profit upon each acre. Ontario Wool Sales. Ontario. The largest wool sale in eastern Oregon will be next I hurs day, June 18, in Ontario, when the M. M. Company" will place 2,500,000 pounds of wool on the market.
