Editor Coos Day Times: Within Coos county, wo hnvo oiioiirIi lands of tho propor character fur fruit ralsliiR, to support many ndded thousnuds to our citizenry. Wo hnvo, already developed, unoiiRh plantings of tree, bush and vino fruits, to conclusively demonstrate that there Is practically no limit to tho possibilities for this Industry, which linn added so heavily to tho fame of tho Stato of OroRou. Sev eral hundred lettors, ndilrossod to tho fruit Inspector, have been receiv ed and answered duriiiR tho past year, coutalnliiR Imiulrles covering nbout every concolvnblo phase of the fruit-growing Industry. About half of these letters are fiom iohIiIuhIh of Coos county, and tho bnlanoo from ouismers attracted liy tne lure of nu undeveloped country. These In quiries show two thliiRs at least; Hist, that tho Coos County growers or fruits are awnkenhiR to the realiz ation thnt the protlts which other sections have tukon from tho fruit rulslng Industry, can be realized here under similar gonoriilshlp 'n orchard culture niul innrl;itliit methods; and m'ooih! that of those who navo coos county In their minds' eyes ns n future home, a great number Incline towards fruit growliiR as a means of gaining a living. In anticipation of further Imiulrles on the subject, it Is believed tin' u boi-Ios of articles concerning what lias beou accomplished and what reasonable possibilities lu tho fruit Industry roinnln to bo developed lu Coos county, will bo Interesting to tho local grower, and Instructive to thoxo who from tho outblde utk In formation concerning our resources. Klrst let us brloll) survey tho hor ticultural resources of Coos county ns tliey eUt today Within Coos comity, vv have over slMj-sIx tliou Band applo trees in bearing, and Bomo seven tliinisiiiiil imar. muich. ohorry, quince, plum and pruno trees. As the llgures ludlento, ap ples me thus far tho only tree fruit nttompted lu this county on a com mercial scnlo. Tho trees show an intal yield of an averago of llvo boxes per tree or more, or some 330,000 boxes, tho annual fruit crop of ap ples alone. Tho orchards are scat tered throughout nil tho cultlvntod bottom-land sections of tho county, and nro lu blocks of from ton to fif teen hundred trees, embracing from six to forty vnrlotlos of npples select ed at tlmo of planting, probably ns nn experiment, and with tho usual ' results of such experiments, nnmelyi the succesH of vnrlotles adapted to this climate, mid tho partial or com plete failure of those not ndaptod, Of courso woro It not for Just such experiments, the orchard plantors throughout tho fruit growing world would bo largely planting exporl-i monts. Hut lu Coos county, happily the experimental stage has been suc cessfully passed, and wo find thnt wo have a ellinato and soil in suill rlent variety to produco high grado fruit of any ami all the commercial classes of npples. Wo II ml that the regloiiB near tho coast lino nro best ndapted to the fruits which do not reuulro hlnh color to input llw do. , niuuds of the market, and wo find t lint back a few miles, protected by the hills from tho hen nlr, we cnn nnd do produce high colored fruit tuny up to an market standards.
