Berry and Canning
Enterprises Have
Possibilities in Valley
Possibilities in small fruit farming
and allied industries in the Illinois
Valley should not be overlooked.
The berry industry, for example,
has proven that berries do exception­
ally well here. The soil is especially
adapted for the growing of this fruit,
to the end that texture and flavor of
various types of berries upon which
experiments have been made is as
good if not better than berries grown
in other sections of Oregon. Market­
ing of fruit raised here has revealed
these factors.
On the Runyon ranch there are
12 excellent varieties of the briar
nature berries are grown.
Last
year. Young and Boysen berries were
produced that weighed sixteen to the
pound.
One of the future industries of the
valley might well be raising and
local canning of berries.
No finer strawberries can be pro­
duced anywhere than was marketed
last summer by a local producer.
Since grapes do well here it should
not be necessary to go elsewhere for
this fruit if plantings were made to
supply local markets.
Until a few years ago it was
thought that the soil west of the Il­
linois River was not desirable for
anything except grazing, but this has
been proven otherwise as everything
that has been planted and properly
cared for has more than paid for the
trouble.
Another type of industry suitable
to this area is truck gardening. Any
vegetable that can be grown in a tem­
perate climate can be grown here,
if one is willing to work and hus pa­
tience to wait for a short while for
results; agrarians need look no fur­
ther than the Illinois Valley for the
soil and water are here.

BRICK & TILE PLANT
BRINGS NEW INDUSTRY
MR. AND MRS. C. E. LAWSON
Another stable industry for the
valley that will start operations soon,
is the brick and tile plant being erec­
ted at the top of Hay’s hill by F. E.
Macfarlane of Grants Pass. He is the
county seat’s brick contractor and
built nearly all the brick buildings
in Grants Pass.
The plant has been under construc­
tion for some time, Mr. Macfarlane
only working on it when his contracts
in the city would permit, but now it
is so nearly completed that he expects
to begin operations in three weeks.
The first product put through the
mill will be brick, and the plant is
capable of manufacturing 1500 a day.
All up-to-date machinery has been in­
stalled and Mr. Macfarlane has sev­
eral claims of superior clay.
