ASHLAND COMMERCIAL CLUB IS TO
EXHIBIT FRUIT AT VARIOUS FAIRS
Enthusiastic Meeting Is Held, at
Which Club Takes Steps to Pro
vide Fruit for Exhibits at Grants
Pass, Medford and at Spokane.
Secretary Malboeuf of Medford Club
Attends Session to Urge Co-operation
In Exhibiting Fruit Commit
tee of Five Appointed.
ASHLAND, Or., Sept. 0. The
Ashland Commercial club held nn
enthusiastic ineetinir last evening, ut
which., the matter of tho exhibits to
bo made at the various fairs und
other exhibitions throughout the
northwest was taken up and discuss
ed oxtcnsively. The plans for nn
tixtensivo exhibit at tho Grants Pass
fair, and a carload of exhibits will
be sent from Ashland. J. M. Lowe,
who will havo charge of the fruit ex
hibit, spoke of tho scope of that
work and asked that tho community
co-operate with the Ashland Fruit &
Produce association and tho Com
mercial club in the work of securing
tho exhibit. Ho also urged that the
community make an exhibit of vege
tables and poultry, agreeing to care
for tho exhibits in tho lntter line
froo of charge if furnished. He also
stated that he would take up the
mutter of an exhibit of flowers,
plants and seeds with the schools
lioro, with tho hope of interesting the
pupils of tho seventh nud eighth
grades in the work of preparing
suoh nn exhibit. He also urged that
there bo exhibits in tho textile and
oulinury clusscs at the Grants Pass
fuir.
Tho club voted to pay one-half of
tho exp.enso, tho total not to exceed
$400, of tho horticultural exhibit t.
Grants. Pass. !
Secretary Frobaeh introduced n
iropOsVd change in tho by-lawn,
and providing that the three trustees
euch hold for 18 months, one being
chosen at each semi-annual election.
On motion the proposed amendment
wus laid on the table until the next
regular meeting as by law required.
C. A. Malboeuf. manager of the
Medford Commercial club, was pres
ent and asked the Ashland Commer
cial club to participate in the ex
pense of nn exhibit of Rogue River
apples at the apple show at Spokane
and also at that at Vancouver, B. C.
The cost, which, he stnted, the Med
ford Commercial club had obligated
itself to pay, was ubout $2000. Mr.
Malboeuf was of tho opinion thnt it
was probable thut they would hnvo
to come to an Ashland orchard for
the apples, tho entire car of which
must be the product of one orehuid
owned by one man or firm. M. C.
Miller of tho Ashland Suburban
Orchards company, took exceptions
to the plan. He said that if Ashland
orchards could produce tho prize-
winning car of apples they should be
exhibited by Ashlnnd and that Ash

periment that irrigation will double
the crops in many instances and al
falfa fields which will produce from
four to five tons per acre can easily
be made to produce from seven to
nine tons by irrigation. If a man
considers the value of irrigation and
tho increased production of his fields
he should have no hesitancy in se
curing a water rights for his land.
Any tract of alfalfo in the valley
which is not irrigated can bo made
to produce enough extra crop in ono
season to pay for tho water right.
When this becomes generally known,
I am sure that no farmer in the val
ley will hesitate to contract for irri
gation. The increased production
will bo shown in every other case,
and it will increase tho production
of the orchards, just as it will in
crease the production of the fields.
It hns already been demonstrated by
the experiments of government engi
neers, both in the Willamette and the
Umpqua valleys, that the crop pro
duction has been increased from (JO
to 200 per cent by irrigation, and
the same conditions exist in tho
Rogue River vnlley.

Mr. Noill stated that tho company

which is absolutely necessary, ami

A letter was read ifrom H. C.
Burnett, 1st Lieut., Co., A. 1st U. S.
Infantry, now on duty in Ashland
conyoii, thanking the club for a doz
en boxes of penches sent to tho
soldiers about u weok ago.
he feels sure that tho farmers and
orchardists will realize how neces
sary it is that tho company should
know how it stnnds in the mntter.
It is customary in such enses, where
a company contemplates a largo In
vestment like uu irrigation system,
which is in reality a public utility,
to make sure by general application
or by single applications, juts ex
actly how the community stands on
the proposition. It is not unusual in
the enso of an irrigation company
for .the prospective water-users to
be asked to file an application for
the delivery of wuter, so that tho
company might know how much cer
tain business could be depended
upon.
"Our procedure and tho construc
tion of the cunnl system of- the
Roguo River Valley Canul company
will bo governed entirely by the at
titudo of tho prospective water-users."
he continued. "If tho fanners
and orcharding want irrigation, wc
will build the system, and if they aro
not interested and do not desire the
building of this big public utility we
shall not build it. There is only one
wuy to judge the attitude of the
water-users, and that is whether or
not they file their application for
water nt our offices. If they file
their applications we know that they
are interested nnd will take our wn
ter. We cannot build this system
unless wo receive applications from
the wnter-userH in the district.
"Tho development of tho desert,
however, will proceed in any event,
and, as I have already stated, it is
our intention to plow, level and irri
gate this largo area."
