t r 1 A SMALL PA MEN AND A SMALL MONTHS WILL MONTHLY PAYMENT FOR EIGHTEEN MAKE YOU THE OWNER OF A COM MERCIAL ORCHARD ft 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 i 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 tract will 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 person 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 all of this expense is included in the purchase price. Sirnjlar 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 Walla, Wash , Oct. 18 (Spe cial) -Kifleen cars of fancy apples have been pooled by Seth Ferrel and Fred Uahn, Mill Creek oicharrlisls, who are asking f 1.75 a box for die fruit. Be tween 8,000 and 10,000 boxes of ap ples are held in the pool. Many oilers have been made for the apples, in cluding one from an English firm, 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 f 12.50 a tree. Each of the farm ers named has about 500 trees. The above is a dispatch from Walla Walla to the Oregonian. Counting 50 trees to the acre, $12.50 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 small return per acre. -WHAT IS LAND WORTH? Did j'ou ever stop to think what a commercial apple orchard is 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 )'ear? Ask any commercial or chardist what an or chard is worth. There are but few commercial or. chards in Wallowa county but the late county fair demonstrated that there is jcing to be a great many of them. 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. Can You Think of an Easier, Quicker; and Better Way to Save and Invest a Small Amount ... Each Month? r 'T, . -r. I ARE YOU AN OWNER OF REAL ESTATE?
