vincing advertising pamphlets setting
forth the resources of Oregon that has
reached our desk.is the new O. R. & N,
and S. P. publication entitled "What
Farmers Have Done In Oregon, as
Told by Themselves." The pamphlet
contains several hundred letters from
farmers, telling their actual experi
ences in farming in Oregon and what
they have accomplished along the
lines of agriculture, horticulture and
stock raising. Among the letters we
find the following.
James Elliott, Dallas, Oregon I
own a iarm of 150 acres one mile
south of Dallas. On this place there
are 50 acres of young fruit orchard,
consisting of prunes, apples, pears,
cherries, and several varieties of nuts.
Twenty acres of prunes in bearing
produced 55,000 pounds of fruit this
season, which will bring over 3 cents
per pound. I picked 1,000 bushels of
apples from 15 acres or young
orchard: also sold 1,000 pounds of
Royal Anne cherries. I have on the
farm 50 head of goats which about
double in number and profit each
year. I raise 40 head of hogs each
season for market. I cleared $2,000
this year. Adjoining land can be
purchased from $20 to $25 per acre.
M. M. Ellis, Dallas, Oregon I have
CO acres of bearing prune orchard, 12
years old. The yield from this
orchard last year in dried prunes was
127.000 pound3, wfyich sold at an aver
age price of something over 3 cents a
pound. The entire cost of picking.
drying the prunes, etc., was $1500.
My orchard represents an investment
of $200 an acre.
