APPLES IN OREGON.
The excellent quality of apples
gr.jwn in Hood River orchards
has been so extensively advertis
ed as the best in the world that a
friend of the Hood River fruit' ex
pressed his displeasure because
it has been said that as good ap
ples can be grown in the Willam
ette Valley and some other points
in the staie, as at Hood River.
The discussion along these lines
has become quite animated
through the public press. Mr,
M. 0. Lownsdale, of Lafayette,
Oregon, through the columns of
the Oregonian, announces his in
tention to soon make a public ex
hi ition showing that the soil of
Yamhill cotinty can produce as
good apples as any other locality
or valley in Oregon.
, Those who have observed
closely the production of apples
for the last forty years in Oregon
remember the' time when the ap
ples raised in Lane, Benton. Mar
ion and other Willamette Valley
counties were fac-simile of the
apples so nicely displayed in r.he
show windows in Portland, label
ed as Hood River grown fruit.
The dwarfed condition of the
fruit in many of the orchards of
the Willamette Valley is the re
sult of long continued neglect of
the fruit trees, resulting in a
multiplicity of insects and pests
ruinous to fruit culture.
- The causes leading up to these
results have been along other
lines of natural development of
the state. Up to the year 1860
the few apples raised in the Wil
lamette Valley sold at retail in
the stores at from 75 cents to
tfl.50 per dozen. Owing to this
remunerative figure and the great
scarcity of fruit, every settler in
the Willamette Valley during the
four or five years prior to 1860,
planted an orchard on his farm.
Some of these orchards were
about suited for home use, while
many others were much larger
and planted with a view of sup
plying the market with apples at
handsome figures.
In 1861 the numerous orchards
in the valley came plentifully in
to bearing, which resulted in an
over supply until soon every per
son could get all the apples he
desired for from 15 to 25 cents
per bushel, while many owners of
orchards invited neighbors to
gather all the ' apples needed
without cost except the labor of
gathering them.
At the time there was no means
of transportation except by team
to Portland and an occasional riv
er steamboat from Portland to
Eugene City. Portland during
these years was about the pres
ent size of Corvallis, Eugene, Al
bany or Salem, and a few bush
els of apples produced an over
supply in the market, and this
amount was readily obtained
from the few orchards within 30
miles of Portland.
The only apples grown in the
many oi chards in the Willamette
Valley and placed on the market,
with very few exceptions
were those dried by the1 house
wife, pealed by hand and spread
out in the sun to dry, and there
after exchanged with the local
merchant for goods, and by him
transfered to Portland by team
and from there by pack-train to
the northern mines.
Without a market price for ap
ples the orchards were lef c for
years uncultivated and soon be
came convenient feeding grounds
for hogs, chickens, pigs or calves.
During all this lime, however,
the fruit, remained handsome,
large, and perfect, until after the
continental railroads made con
nection across the continent; but
freight rates for a great many
years were so nearly prohibitive
that it did not improve the price
of fruit. j
The railroad communication,
however, afforded opport unity by
which eastern fruit growers were
able to ship young fruit trees to
this country. It has been claim1
ed that these shipments of young
trees were the cause of the ad
vent of the insects and pests that
during after years ruined . the
beautiful afld handsomely devel
oped Willamette Valley apples. -
FORTUNES IN FARMS
If Diversified Farming is Followed
Pointers with a Point.
For a long time the Gazette
has dwelt upon the possibilities
of Willamette Valley farms if the
owners would engage in diversi
fied farming and drop wheat rais
ing, luattbe same opinion is
shared by Lincoln county and
that it is a well founded opinion
too. is shown by the remarks of
the Reporter en the subject:
"There is a constant demand
tor small farms hereabouts and
for 'small tracts for gardening and
poultry raising. A score or more
of strangers have been seeking
information relating to location
and price ot small tracts. It is
our opinion that those who have
farms to sell that are suitable for
division could sell quicker and
realize more money and at the
same time confer a benefit on the
county,' by dividing them in
small lots.1 Tracts of 5. ' io and
20 acres would find ready pur
caasers. The possibilities in fruits
and berries are beyond ordinary
computation. These vallevs and
slopes can be made as wealth-pro
ducing as the vine clad hills ot
Italy and France."
As an illustration of these opin
ions the success of John McClusky
in raising fruit is pointed out:
"By vigorous pruning and in
teligent care he has brought his
orchard to a condition of firstclas?
fruit production. This year he
has selected 300 bushels of Bald
wins, 40 bushels of Northern
Spy aad 20 bushels of Arkansas
Blacks that are perfect of their
kind.
"These are carefully selected,
without blemish and are highly
colored. He ..believes that , the
very highest standard of apples
can be grown here, and he has
the fruit to back his belief.
"Wbat McClusky has done oth
ers can do. If you will join him
in raising the standard ot Lincoln
county liuit you will develope
something better than a gold
mine."
TEDDY'S PROCLAMATION.
Everyone Should Return 'Thanks
and Praise.
"The time of the year has
come when, in accordance with
the wise custom of our " fathers,
it becomes my duty to set aside a
special day of Thanksgiving and
praise to the Almighty because of
blessings we have reeived and for
prayer that these blessing may be
continued. Yet another year of
widespread well being has passed
is ever Deiore in tne nistorv 01
our or any other nation has t a
people enjoyed a more abounding
material prosperity than has-ours
a prosperity so great that it
should arouse in us no spirit of
recKiess priae, ana least ci an, a
spirit ot heedless disregard of our
rtsponsibility; but rather a sober
sense of our many blessings, and
i resolute purpose, uuder Provi
dence, not to forfeit them by any
action, of our own.
"Material well-being, indis
pensible though it is, can never
be anything but the foundatiou
of true national greatness and,
happiness. If we build nothing
upon this foundation, then our
national life will be as meaning
less and empty as a house where
only the foundation has been laid.
Upon our material-well-being
must be built a superstructure of
individual and national life lived
in accordance with the laws of
the highest morality, or eise our
prosperity itself will in the long
run turn out a curse instead of a
blessing. Wj . should be b.)th
reverently thankful for what we
have received and earnestly bent
upon turning it into a means of
grace ahd not of destruction.
"Accordingly, I hereby set a-.

the power to use these gifts
aright." ,
An Apple Item.
A display of apples that carindt
be beaten by Hood River or any
other section has been an attrac
tion at Hormino's grocery the
past few days. The apples came
from the Groves ranch a mile
west of Corvallis, and the assort

flowers.Russetts, Northern Spy,
Ben Davis and the King varieties
