HOOD RIVER BERRIES.
In three months from now the
strawberry crop of Hood River will
be in full blast, and the wealth of
crimson lusciousncss from that do
1 lightful locality will gladden the
eyes and palates of the citizens of
Chicago, Omaha, St. Paul, St. Louis
and the mining centers of Colorado,
Montana and Idaho.
The first berry shipments were
made from Hood River in 1889, by
Geo. T. Prather, wo believe, they
being sent to Montana. The returns
were so satisfactory that Mr. Prather,
and perhaps one or two others,
shipped all the berries, they could
get, and many small patches were set
out, with the view of supplying this
demand the following year. It was
at once claimed by many that the
market would be over-stocked, and
that the price of berries would drop
to a point where it would not be
profitable to grow them. Yet the
supply never equaled the demand.
The same cry was raised every year
as the patches became more numer
ous and larger, but when last year
two carloads a day were being
shipped, and the demand was for yet
other carloads, even the most pro
nounced pessimists quit their croak
ing, and conceded that with the
shipping qualities possessed by the
"Clarke Seedlings," the market was
practically unlimited.
This year the shipments will be
larger than over, and so will the
acreage, and it will not be at all sur
prising if three, and even four, car.
loads a day arc shipped.
Strawberry growing is like all
oilier agricultural pursuits, hard work.
There are hoeing and weeding and
picking, but there is money in it,
and it is, while perhaps tiresome
work, as pleasant as anj on the farm.
It has one feature that many other
farming pursuits lack, and that is it
pays; and it is of such a nature that
a person of small capital can engage
in it. A few acres of land is all that
is required, and now that water is
available these are easily acquired.
The plants set in the fall yield
from half to two-thirds of a crop the
next year, and full crops for two
years after that. A well cultivated
acre of ground will yield from $200
to 250 over and above all expenses
of growing and harvesting, the prin
cipal expense being the picking and
the cost of boxes and crates. To a
man with a largo family of little
folks it offers peculiar inducements,
furnishing a light employment for
the children that enables them to as
sist materially in meeting the ex
penses of the family.
"Without the strawberry the de
velopment of Hood River valley
would have been much slower than
it has been, for it furnishes the
money that sets out and cares for
the apples trees, for which that sec
tion is famous.
To tho man of small means, who
is industrious, Hood River offers pe
culiar inducements, and' of course
better ones to thoso who have raonoy
to handle larger areas of fruit lands.
It is the most beautiful valley by far
in the state, nnd in a few years will
bo one vast orchard. "Wc predict
that inside of soven years Hood River
will ship 200,000 bushels of apples,
and it will not be long before straw
berries are shipped almost in train
load Jots.
Tho growing of orchards requires
unlimited patience, nne considerable
money, and fortunately there are
hundreds now in tho Hood River
section who have about passed their
period of trouble and solf-denial,
and will soon reap that rownrd which
is said to always come to those who
wait.
If there is one thing moro than an
other that the people of Tho Dalles
should be proud of, it is our public
schools, While it is true tho grade
is not quite so high as in some of the
larger cities, no city can show more
systematic, thorough work than is to
be found in tho public schools of The
Dalles. People at a distance recog
nize the fact and show their appreci
ation hy comhi2 hero to live during
tho school months (sonic permanent
ly) and to enjoy the advantages
offered.
Undei ihe present clllcicnt man
agement no pupil can go through all
the grades without acquiring a suffi
cient education to fit htm for any or
dinary business pursuit, or to enter
any preparatory school for a college
education, if he so desire, and that
should be expected of any public
school.
People who contemplate removal
to a now place always want to know
what kina of schools they will find at
their now home. We can assure all
such that the schools in The Dalles
arc unsurpassed b' any.
