Now that Graote Pats is to have a
caunery the farmers of Rogae River
Valley are taking a greater interest in
the growing cf corn and vegetables.
The vast screage that will be planted
to fruit trees is all good soil and the
trees will be the better for the first
five years if the ground is planted to
crops that have to be cultivated such
! a tomatoes, cucumbers. bens, peas,
! melons, strawerriei", corn. etc. While
' this is not a natural corn country yet
it can be grown profitably as has been
proven by many farmers who have bad
a yield of 40 to 00 bushels per acre.
Hie sweet corn grown here is not ex
celled in quality and flue flavor by
that of thn bint corn districts of the
United StateH. But the average
Rogue River farmer ban much to learn
to sticcchfully grow cor. The most
ptwrntial thing is tlmt it must he
planted with a linter, as they do in
KauKss, Nebra.-ka and the ot'ier dry
states, so as to gut roots down in
uioUt ground to the corn can with
stand the luck of rain during the
growing months. Maine, a state that
is not in the oru belt, cans more corn
than any other state of the the Union.
The soil is rather poor and the climate
is not favorable for corn, but the
grower of sweet corn for the use of
caoners have become so proficient
that the average yield of sweet corn
per acre is much larger In Maine than
it is in Illinois. So it is with toma
toes. An Ohio correspondent of the
Rural New Yorker tells that he once
thought be was doing well when be
raised 400 bul'l of tomatoes per
acre. In the past five years be has
bad three crops which exceeded 609
bushels per acre and last year the
yield was HU0 bushels per acre. He
now raises the Erliana tomato be
cause it will stand liberal manuring
without running to vine.

CALAMITY JANE.
The Northwest Horticul'urist for
April, presents a first page fonr
column cnt of A. I. Mason, the Hood
River apple king in the process of
spraying bis orchard. The picture
shows the large spray plant mounted
on a low truck wagon anr? A. I. , to
gether with a helper, applying the
spray to the heavy laden trees. The
Horticulturist writes as follows in ex-1
planation :
"A. I. Mason, Hood River, Oregon,
spraying his famous apple orchard.
Moisture is conserved by good culti
vation keep the ground clean. The
tre.'S are headed lew so that pickers
gather most of the crop with very
short step ladders, and when spraying,
cn easily reach all parts of the tree
without the expense and risk of
towering far into the air. The trees
are pruned so as to admit light, air
and heat to all parts aud the fruit is
evenly distributed over the well pro
portioned trees, There are no. long
trnnkB to be attacked by borers,. no
trunks to be injured by sunscald.
Mr. Mason sprayed five times with
arsenate of lead last season for the
codliu moth, aud his record was 1731
boxes Spitzeobergs and Y. N. Pippins,
with lass than one box (97 apples)
wormy in the entire lot. This apple
orchard produced the crop which sold
at Hood River last year at the rate of
$750 per acre for Yellow Newtowns
and 1877.15 per acre for Spitzenbergs.
The orchard is a model in record of
production, as well as appearance,
evidence that the owner, standing at
the left, is an artist in his profession.
