AND A SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR EIGHTEEN
MONTHS! WILL MAKE YOU THE OWNER OF A COM
MERCIAL ORCHARD
FOR EXAMPLE
Valley View Orchard Ac
reage, lying just west of
Enterprise, offers a few
acre orchard tracts at
$175. You can pay
$17.50 down and $8.75
each 'month for eighteen
months and you have
your tract paid for. This
price is complete. It in
cludes the trees, the
planting, the pruning and
cultivating for three years
and also a guarantee that
one hundred per cent of
the trees will be living at
the end of the time. An
easier way to make mon
ey and save it has never
been offered in Wallowa
County.
A SAVINGS BANK
No better opportunity can
be found in the county to
invest a monthly savings
account. A commercial
orchard tractwill not only
increase in value each
month but when it begins
to bear, the returns are
so much greater than a
savings bank that there is
no comparison. Try to
buy any orchard in the
county and see what value
the owners place upon it.
Almost any persou can
arrange to meet the small
payments on Valley View
Orchard Acreage and not
miss 'the money each
month. . At the end of 18
months you are the owner
of an acre of growing ap
ple trees.
Every acre will be set to good
commercial apple trees. adapt
ed to this county, and pruned,
trimmed and cultivated for
three years, thus turning over
to the purchaser a good thrifty
orchard just ready to begin
coining money. During the
three years you do not have
to be bothered with the care
and cultivation of the trees a! I
of this expense isiincluded in
the purchase price. , Similar
orchard tracts are being sold
in the Grande' Ronde Valley
for from $350 to $500 per
acre. In Colorado the prices
-
are even higher.
WHAT OTHERS DO
Walla WalU, Wash , Oct. 18 (Spe
cial) -Fifteen cars of fancy apples have
lieen pooled by Seth Ferret and Fred
R.ihn, Mill Creek oichardists, who are
asking ft. 75 a box for ihe fruit. Be
tweeu 8,000 and 10.000 boxes of ap
ples are held in the "pool. Many o!lers
have been made for the apples, in
cluding one from an English tinn, and
seveial of them are said to be close to
the mark at which they are held. If
sold at the price asked by the farmers
the fruit will make a cash return of
about flLSO a tree. Each of the farm
ers named has about 500 trees.
The above is a dispatch
from Walla Walla to tlie ;
Oregonian. Counting 50
tons to the acre, and $1.50
to the tree, it will be seen
that the return per acre
for a single crop is $625.
What will your acre tract
be worth if you can gather
even $500 worth of ap
ples? Any commercial or
chardist will tell you that
$625 is a smalt return
per acre.
WHAT IS LAND WORTH?
Did you ever stop to think
what a commercial apple
orchard ;s worth per acre?
What is land worth "that
nets the owner $10 per
acre per year? What is
land worth that brings in
$600 per acre per year?
Ask any commercial or
chardist what an or
chard is worth. There are
but few commercial or
chards in Wallowa county
but,the latec ounty fair
demct:. trated that there is
,r ??M : be a great many
d Why not be
among the first while the
tracts are cheap, rather
than last when you will
have to pay from $500 to
$1,000 per acre.
