APPLE CROP OF VALLEY
3
A record kept of the people who
have come to this project tbe past two
week» shows that over one half were
here for the purpose of looking the
lands contained herein over with a
view to purchasing a farm.
These people would no doubt locate
at once were it not for tbe fact that
they left their eastern and southern
homes with the avowed intention of
thoroughly looking over tbe qualities
of the different farming sections in tbe
Pacific coast states before making any
definite selection. Therefore, it is
safe to predict that in view of tbe
many people coming here who are
avowed homeseekers, a large majority
of them will eventually settle in this
fertile valley.
The balance of those on whom a
record was kept came to visit relatives
and friends, and went away with the
feeling that should chance present
they would dispose of their possessions
elsewhere and come to this country to
reside.

SOME FAST WORK
LEVELING 160 ACRES
Probably the quickest and most thor­
ough piece of work ever done here in
the way of clearing, leveling* and flum-
Ing raw land Is that being accomplish­
ed by W. H. Skinner, who on August
28th last began tbe huge task of pre­
paring and reeding to rye and alfalfa
tbe big tract of land northwest of Her­
miston a short distance recently pur­
chased by a party of Tillamook dairy-
men.
How well he has progressed with the
undertaking thus far can only be ap­
preciated by a trip to the land, and
even when there one can hardly be­
lieve that the ground could be trans­
formed from a sagebrush area into a
cultivated tract in so short a space of
time
But with experience derived from
other like conquests and a goodly
amount of energy, Mr. Skinner has
directed the work of putting in culti-
vation the vast tract of land in such an
able manner that the owners will
never have cause for complaint, the
system of irrigation mapped out being
far in tbe lead of any we have seen
thus far on the project
Mr. Skinner, however, does not nor
cannot claim all the credit for tbe ef­
ficient way in which the land is being
prepared for tbe reception of seed, for
those ranchers who worked under his
direction facilitated matters for him
by their knowledge of the work secur­
ed by improving places of their own,
nearly all of them being among the
most energetic farmers on the project.

SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE
After contracting and shipping
eleven cars of choice peaches to the
Witten berg-King Co., operator al the
dry fresh evaporating plant at The
Dallés, Hermiston orchard men this
week entered into a contract to sell
their apple crop to the Valley Fruit
Co., of Walla Walla, Wash.
Thirty dollars per ton is the price to
be paid for the fruit when delivered at
the warehouse of the Umatilla Storage
& Commission Co., in this city. The
varieties consist of Winesaps, Rome
Beauties, Johnathan, King, Delicious
and others of a standard nature, with
Winesaps and Rome Beauties pre-
dominating.
For the moot part the crop Is a
heavy and clean one this year, and
while the contract price will afford no
great margin of profit to the produc­
ers, nevertheless it Is felt by them
that it were better to sell io this man­
ner than dispose of them piecemeal.
