Fruit raised in Jackson County is

No other section o f this earth claims

but few lay claim to produce pears

Apples o f superior quality are
grown here, the one variety that does
best of all being the Newton pippin,
which is the most profitable to pro
duce. Our soil appears to favor it
above any other variety o f apple.
Its long-keeping qualities and deli
cious flavor create a demand that
extends to the world’s markets.
The coming fruit for this county is
apricots. They thrive here amazing
ly and are a profitable crop to grow,
being hardier than peaches and
standing a lower temperature.
Many peaches o f most excellent
quality are grown in this county.
Nearly every private home has a few
peach trees, and in season their
branches are loaded with this lus
cious fruit. Conditions in and around
Ashland favor peach-growing, and in
that neighborhood are many fine
orchards o f that fruit.
Cherries grow in this soil seem
ingly as they never grew anywhere
else. Some o f them are so big as to
almost pass belief. The fellow who
said, “ Don’t make tw o . bites o f a
cherry,” surely knew nothing about
the Jackson county product.

siders picking cherries as work, and

Some 15,000 acres are devoted to
fruit-growing in the county. Much of
this acreage is in pears and apples,
with pears coming more and more
into favor.
Apple trees come into bearing
about ten years after planting.
Pears take seven to ten years while
peaches begin to produce in four to
five years. It is a common practice
to plant peach trees in between the
apples and pears to produce a rev
enue while the orchard is coming to
maturity.
Crops o f tomatoes are often
grown in fruit orchards while the
trees are coming to their productive
age. Sweet corn and field corn are
likewise planted for the same pur
pose.
Bare land, suitable for orchards
caa be bought for from $200 to
$300 an acre. Orchards in bearing
