Cut-Over Lands of Great Fertility, Deep Rich Soil, Excellent
I Water and Good Drainage Conditions Offer Special In
ducement to Homeseekers
.Business ;
(By EDWARD T. BARBER)
The Willamette valley presents
the largest area of high grade ag
ricultural land of any other one
continuous section in the Pacific
coast states. ' .
; These jands, In one particular,
resemble the Irishman's whiskey;
''Some of it. is good and some of
Ht is better, but there is none pf
it bad." The value of any section
ffor agricultural purposes, while
based upon the productive qual
ity of the land, is also determined
In part by the nature of the soil,
its chief characteristics, the alti
tude, climate as to rain, wind, sun
shine; the slope of the land and
nature of Its surface, drainage for
both air and water, nature of sub
soil, etc.;
Certain sections of these lands
have been demonstrated as being
more especially adapted . to the
growing of given varieties of prod
ucts, and as a result those sec
tions specialize on the particular
product. In one section it is
prunes, In another berries, in an
other ipples, pears, peaches, to
matoes, celery, onions all have
their production centers which
are based upon , the soil and cli
matic conditions that produce
their specialty of a better quality
and In a larger quantity than oth
er localities. It is this great var
iety of adaptable centers of suf
ficient area to produce the spec
ialty in commercial quantity, that
gives the Willamette valley a sort
of strangle hold on high class ag
ricultural products in commercial
quantities large enough to . com
mand a j national market. This
means a stable market.
These conditions also contrib
ute, In a very large way to the rap
id development of the entire val
ley. Neighborhood rivalries are
eliminated. Rogue River toma
toes do not compete with any oth
er locality in western Oregon.
Hood River apples have a field of
their own. The Labfsh Meadows
produce onions and celery without
exciting jealousies in any of their
neighbors.
. All of these facts are essential
information for those who con
template coming to Oregon. They
give a wide range of selection of
localities. The homeseeker and
investor .may determine the par
ticular line they, wish to follow
and then select the community
which presents conditions most
favorable to their choice.
Consider Falls City
Falls City presents features
which are worthy of serious con
sideration of all prospective set
tlers before making a final choice
of location. It is the center of
about 100 .square miles of fine ag
ricultural lands having many es-
meeting'of -the sovereign grand
lodge of the United States to be
held In Portland In September.
Thig is the first time the grand
lodge has ever met west of the
Rocky: mountains. All members
of .the two organizations are look
ing forward to this meeting with
great interest. Let's all help Falls
City do her bit to make this the
most -wonderful meetinsr ever
held by this- organization.
l American Forest Week
The week beginning April 27,
to Sunday, , May ' 3, has been set
aside by proclamation issued by
the president of the United States
to be observed as American Forest
week. - Plans are completed for
observance of this week In the
public schools. If tho patrons of
the schools want to hear some
snappy songs just go to school
during thia week and hear the
youngsters sing. They won't be
Marching Through Georgia," but
their songs will remind all of you
of your own school days, and 'the
lessons they will teach will do us
all good. .
Local fishermen are out in
force, ' going up and down the
river, and some fine catches are
reported. The water is unusually
clear for; so early in the season,
the roads are good, trails passable.
In short everything is just right
for .the enthusiast. A little rain
on the day the season opened was
no dampener. The boys all went,
both old and young. .
