Philadelphia Man, Pays $20,
500 for 12 Acres of Bear
ing Pears.' ' :
What Is believed to be the highest
price for which agricultural land has
aver sold in this fountry was paid" by
( H. Burkhact, of l'hlladelphia, for a
12 aori pear orchard near Medford last
week. Mr. Burlthart paid JiiS, 500 for
the 12 acres which Is equivalent to
I23i6 an acre. It was a part of the fam
ous Kurrell tract, one of the most cel
ebrated pear prcho.rrts la- the 'country.
The trees are In full be-aring and have
averaged for the last ten years or more
a annual profit of $500 an acre.V
This prli-e tops the record for Hood
River apple lands by $175 an' acre, the
highest price paid for full bearing or
ehard in the famous Hood River; valley
being $2200 an acre. The former rec
ord . for. Kogue River valley land la
$1800 an acre, paid last fall for a por
tion of a famous orchard near Central
Point; - , -
Other Baoord Frloes.
The Rogua River valley-came again to
the front last weelc with another rec
ord price. In this instance the . John
Cox place, confuting of 280 acres of
excellent fruit Jwtid, though entirely
unimproved, sold for $120,000 of prac
tically $42$ an acre. This property was
purchased by It. I. Nell of Ashland,
Osi-ar Young of Seattle and W. H. JEver
hard of Minneapolis. .
J. r. Shermon, a wealthy resident pf
South Dakota, who recently moved to
the Rogue River valley, purchased the
Vincent T. Bly apple orchard near Ash
land last week for $650 an acre. There
are 0 acres In the orchard. Th flat
prlue was $13,000. ;
9800,000 la Orchard Seals
A large area of southern .Oregon fruit
lands has changed hands since the first
of , the year. .It. Is probably1 not far
from the truth to say that all of $oo,
000 has been invested In.. Rogue River
lands and . lands near ,ahland and
Central Point since January. 1. Corn
Ing Kenley of Chicago paid $46.00 foe
a beards" orchard of 86 V acres of BarN
lett pears located near Medford. , This
was at the rate of $1230 an acre. .Vat
lt acres- in tne aaitie vicinity, O. AI.
Moora of York, Neb., paid $17,500. This
tract is set in apples and pears In full
bearing. All sorts of fancy prices are
being paid for younr orchards within
striking distance of Medford, one buy
er recently paying $00 an acre for ten
acres of one year Old trees.-. . ,,
-' Frank Madden of Chicago. . recently
purchased the - Blmcox . and I-aever or
chards In the Central Point district, com
prising 48 acres for $38,000, fh Leav
er orchard contains J 8 acres and sold
for $1000 an acre, flat. It Is more than
likely that $2376, the price , paid, for
part of the Burrell pear orchard, will
continue to be a record for southern Ore
gon fruit lands. .An annual, revenue of
$600 an acre ia equal to. about 20 per
cent of the cost prlc of that orchard
and It Is Jiot probable that investors
will be satisfied to run the prtce higher
than what would be a 20 per Cent profit
basis. - - i
