LEAD THE WORLD IN APPLES
Millions of Trees Set Out In Oregon
This Season.
"Oregon is destined to become the
greatest apple growing center in the
world"! the statement wbioh five
memters of the state boaid of horti
culture include in their reports filed
with HeoretaryWilliamHon last week.
Millions of apple and pear trees aro
to be planted this spring, 1.000,000 to
be planted in Jackson coonty alone,
which when in a few years tbey begin
to tear trait, will plaoo the apple and
pear growing industry on a plane snob
as it has never before known.
Still better news to the people of
the. state is the fact that with the ex
ception of a slight damago done to the
peach tree and loganberry bashes, the
the extreme cold weather of late Jan
uary did practically no damage to the
trees of the state. In fact, thousands
of slips aio being sent out of the state
to Idaho and Washington points tor
propagation.
Reports were filed last week from
W. K. Newel, president, R. H. Weber,
treasurer, and M. O. JLownsdale, A. H.
Carson and Judd Geer, commissioners.
Eaob and every one of tbem was filled
with bright prospects, although all of
them took oooasion to condomn the
portraying of overly big crops.
Tbe crops this year aocoidiog to the
reports will be average, with tbe ex
ception of loganberries and peaches
the most tendor of all fruits. There
will be a light but exoellent quality
crop of these fruits while tbe apples
pears and hardier fruits will produoe a
fairly good crop. The tips of tbe
branches owiug to tbe gradual drop
wbioh the thermometer took before
tbe cold weather were but little affect
ed and should bear well.
The planting of new trees this year
has sarpassed anything ever known in
this section. Millions of plants and
trees have been set out witb tbe re
sult that within tbe next few years
tbe output of the same should be al
most double what it is now. Joseph
ine, Jackson fend Douglas counties
were all reported as having planted
many trees. Jackson oonnty growers
planted nearly 1,000,000 apples and
pear trees while in Josephine oonnty
nearly 500,000 grapevines were plant
ed. These were mostly of tbe Tokay
variety.
Up Before The Bar.

King's New life Pills for years and
find tbem sucb a good family medicine
