Jones is sending out the follow ing circular letter to all of th e stock holders in the old Cottage G rove F ruit Co., recently d is solved: C ottage Grove, O r., Dec. 24. 1909. Dear S ir:— I expect to re-incor- p o tate the C ottage G rove F ruit Co. and wish to give the old stockhold ers the first chance at the new stock. W e will incorporate this new com pany at $3,000 w hich will clear all indebtedness on p lan t leaving sam e all clear and also leaving a w orking sum of a few hundred dollars. Please notify me if you care to ta k e some of this stock, and if so how m u c h .” T h e packing house, drier and equipm ent of the fruit growers as sociation was built during the sum mer of 1908 at a cost of over $5,- 000, the funds to pay off the in debtedness being furnished by Mr. Jones into whose hands the proper ty recently passed in default of paym ent of principal and interest. It is a first class plant and well equipped to handle the fruit pro d u ct of this valley for years to come and it is the wish of Mr. Jones to reorganize the com pany an d prepare to handle the rapidly increasing fruit product of this com m unity. Such an enterprise an d com pany properly m anaged w ould be of inestim able value to th e com m unity and would prove a g reat im petus to the growing fruit in d ustry of south I.aue county. HOW TO SET OUT AN ORCHARD A s m any people about Cottage G rove are plan tin g various kinds of fruit trees the following advice m ay be advantageous to some of th e m : W . K. Newell, president of the Hoard of H orticulture, gives some v aluable inform ation regarding th e preparation of the soil for p lan tin g apple trees. " T h e grow e r ,” he says, “ begins his orchard w ith a selection of soil. T he first th in g is to get a soil th a t is well drained. Most of the rolling hills of the W illam ette valley are well adapted to the growth of the trees, an d in m any of the bottom lands a sandy subsoil is found w hich is favorable. T he soil should lie tiled where not n atu rally drained and as the trees grow the soil will become well grained w ithin two or three years. T here should be a depth of soil from five to six feet before hard pan or bed rock is en countered. W here there is gravel subsoil surface soil becomes ideal ground. Upon such soil, when properly prepared, apple trees should enjoy a healthy growth from 50 to 75 years. “ In planting it is alw ays best to use nursery stock of the age of one year, and the young trees should never be taken from the nursery rows until they are ripe an d the leaves begin to fall. They should be planted as soon after N ovem ber 15 as possible, b u t trees w hich are planted up to F ebruary 15, usually thrive well. T he warm C O T T A G E G R O V E , O R EG O N , T U E S D A Y , D E C E M B E R a8, 1909 spell w hich usually comes along in F ebruary h a s been found to give good results in planting. If trees are planted in the spring they be gin at once to grow an d the buds aud leaves will pum p all th e niois ture out of a tree before it is well rooted. In p lan tin g an old piece of land w hich has been cultivated for years the ground should be plowed at least 12 inches deep. ‘‘Y oung stock should be placed iu the ground about two inches deeper th a t it stood in the nursery, aud then should be headed back at 18 inches above the ground. D ur ing the first year the trees should be painted to protect them from sublister and insects, the best solu tion found being the following, used as a thick paste: Ten pounds of lime, one pound of rosin and half a pound of arsenate of lead. P runing of the lim bs and sprouts in th e second year should consist of heading back of the lim bs so as to force a low growth of the tree. To get that result the cut should be m ade beyond the bud pointed in the direction it is intended for the lim b to grow. P runing ceases about the fifth year and thereafter only th in n in g of the top allow ed.” Gets Large Returns. J. H. H eikes, from two acres of apple orchard, got returns this season iu cash, to the am ount of $1201.25. As the work of p ick ing and p ack in g was largely done by Mr. H eikes and his fam ily, the only expense was for boxes and handling, w hich did not am ount to over $150, leaving a gross profit in round num bers of $1050 for two acres, or $525 per acre. T he tract has alw ays been fam ous as a m oney-m aker, an d is know n as the old Ilo b b s place. Mr. H eikes bought ¡he place, which consists of 10 acres, last A ugust, the purchase price being $6800. Mr. H eikes has an acre of Golden Cham pion grapes, for which this and the adjoining place are fam ous. H e is a great hustler and will be one of the men who by in telligence and thrift and hard work will help in developing the valley.— Freew ater (O r.j Tim es. Recital.
