The annual meeting of the Lin coln County Fruit Growers' Union was held at the courthouse last Wednesday afternoon. A large del egation of fruit growers from all over the county was present, President Ramsdall presiding. S. G. Irvin of Newport; N. L. Mc- Elwain of Toledo; George Hodges of Elk City; D. B. Ramsdall of Elk City, P. II. Martin of Harlan were electul ai airotKS. A committee composed of Messrs. Martin, Bell, and Crosno was ap pointed to revise the by-laws and constitution, and report at the next regular meeting. Many short but cnthui.ntie speeches ' were made by members and others interested i egarding the raising and handling of fruit, and the importance of union among tho fruit raisers in handling the mark eting of the fruit. Mr. Martin of Harlan, who is an old Hood River apple grower, told of the workings of the union at that place and gavo some very interesting facts. Among the good things that ho said was that he knew apples could be raised in Lincoln county at least 25 per cent cheaper than they can be raised at Hood River. Mr. Martin also said that, when they first began to raise apples at Hood River their lands went up to a hun dred dollars per acre, and they thought that was a large price. Now, swoo the fruit industry thci has reached such world wide rep utation, the same land is bringing fum 1000 to $1500 per acre and is not for sale at even that figure. He thinks Lincoln county's lands can be made h command the some prices when the fruit industry is developed as it should be. P. A. Miller said he' had a young orchard which he will have pruned within a few weeks and wanted tho union to meet at his place when the work was done. A request will be made to tho Oregon Agricultural college to send a representative over to instruct the union on methods of pruning young orchards, and give a practical lesson. The meeting adjourned to meet at Elk City at their next regular moot ing. - Benicia- Reversible Disc Plows make plowing easy. Ed Wade of Yaquina was a pas senger for the Valley Tuesday morn ing.
