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.
At the wool sale in Vale recently
the prices ranged from 10c to 1-lc, but
since then the price of wool has been
steadily advancing, and the sheepmen
expect to realize a good price fo
their clip. Nearly all of the Malheur
and IJarncy county wool clip
stored in this city.
Cherries by tho Ton.
Cove. It is estimated that, with
the new cherry orchards coming in
this season, not less than 200 tons o
cherries will be shipped from here
