The land in question is on the shore of Tuile lake, has been cropped for a season or more, and its good soil. The parcels range in size from a few acres to a maximum of 80 acres, the aver age being around 60. There is an irrigation charge of $90 an acre against the land and the usual home stead requirements. The local boys could not figure out how the venture could prove a financial success in view of the fact that they found that they could buy irrigated land in the same district with water r?ghts paid for around $75 an acre. The drawing was far from success ful. Of the 180 parcels in the area, only 4G were filed upon with only six duplications. Twenty of the 46 were Klamath county ex-service men. Those going from here were: Dr. C. C. Wright, O:intoif Baun, Bliss Byers and Frank Kennedy. They drove in Dr. Wright's car, going by the way of Ashland and over the Green Springs mountains to Klamath Falls. Retaining they came by the way of Bend and over the McKenzle pass. They state' that they enjoyed the trip, which was without dis agreeable incidents, but all are of the opinion that the val'.ey suits them a whole lot better than the Klamath country. FAVORABLE VOTE MEANS DEVELOPMENT OF STATE Portlard "If the people of Ore gon are in earnest in their desire for some general move for state develop ment, the 1927 exposition measures will be carried by overwhelming majorities November 7, because this is our one hope for the immediate. future." This is the declaration of Mayor Georsre L. Baker of Portland, head of the gdr.eral committee in charge of the exDosition campaign. On the eve of the general election the committee expresses confidence that the people of the state will return a good ma jority for the measure that will per mit Portland to tax itself for the Dromotion of the exposition aind that the city of Portland itself will cast a big vote in favor of the special levy for this purpose. Reflecting this confidence in the favorable outcome of the election, plans have been formulated for a peroral 10 year development program of all of Oregon, with the exposition as the central figure. This is to in clude the beginning immediately of a campaign of publicity, in wheh the attractions of Oregon for the tourist its opportunities for the farmer, the stock ranging, the fruit-grower and the artisan, and its vast resources awaiting development, will be ex ploited in all parts of the United States. There has been some newspaper opposition! to the state permitting Portland to tax itself for such a pro gram," says Mayor Baker, "but oil the whole it appears to me that the people of the state realize the im portance of this move and will do their part by granting Portland per mission to hold the exposition if the Portland people want to and are willing to pay the bill. In Portland the situation looks very favorable for a big majority in favor of the ex position tax measure." APPLE VARIETIES MANY; NOT ALL WELL KNOWN Apple varieties need to be carefully thought out before winter and spring planting, reports the experiment statiotrl at O. A. C. The common varieties of apples are well known to most persons but there are several fine eastern sorts that wou d make a desirable addition to the table if grown for home use. Desirable early varieties include the Early Harvest, Sweet Bough, Golden Sweet, Yellow Transparent, and the Gravenstein. Fall and early winter appjtes such as the Melon, Mother, Twenty-ounce Pippin, Fall Pippiiri, Pumpkin Sweet,- Mcintosh, Bailey Sweet, Wealthy and Seek-No-Futher are good varieties to pfant. For late varieties the Gilliflower (Sheep Nose), Dutch Mignon, Golden Russet, Roxbury Russett, Lady Apple, Northern Spy, Tollman Sweet and the Swaar are very desirable. Sweet Apples, occupy an important place in this list. It is peculiar that so few varieties of sweet apples are at present grown in the northwest. O. A. C. Exp. station.
