JACKSON COUNTY ROADS.
THE highways of Jackson county arc a satisfactory rcf
nfiifinii ii flin nlniitic nf flu innlimhmif iHllll.V 00111-
mission as to road improvement. Outside of the Medford
Jacksonvillc road and a portion of tho Medford-Phoenix
road, nearly every effort at road improvement in tho coun
ty has been a useless blundering expenditure of money
Unsuitable materials have been heaped upon the roads
in corrugated ridges driving travelers out into the ditches
and along the fences, and impeding and obstructing traf
fic. The efforts of the road supervisors in a great measure
have been more of a detriment than an improvement.
So crude in structure as to
dry months and so unstable in character as to bo oblit
erated bT the autumnal rains.
The commissioners are
that they build very fine roads and their efforts, however
poorlv directed, -were honestly put forth, but the condi
tion of the roads fullv indicates their limitations as road
builders.
To the good roads expert the highways of Jackson
county are a joke, and for
the name of road.
Jackson county has thrown off the lethargy of years;
it has gone into intense production, in the past few years
it has trebled its population and traffic, and it is produc
ing at a ratio that demands
up under traffic, and not the makeshift highways that now
are and have been a drawback to the community.
Honesty of purpose is not enough; the taxpayers of tho
county demand an intelligent disbursement of their funds,
something permanent and beneficial in the way of roads.
The present county commission have had their trial. The
situation demands a change; business men who will employ
business methods are badly needed.
George L. Davis of Medford is a candidate for the re
publican nomination for county commissioner. He is a
thorough and successful business man and a road' enthu
siast, and if elected to the office will deliver the goods.
A NEGLECTED
Q MALL fruits and vegetables are sadly neglected in the
Rogue River valley. .
It is next to impossible to secure a variety of fresh
vegetables in local markets.
There are no market gardens. Vegetables are shipped
in throughout the year. They could all be raised here.
Rogue River valley soil, wafer and industry produce
almost anything that grows everything needed for fam
ily consumption.
"We have the soil, we have the water, but we lack the
industry It is so easy to make a living in this section that
systematic hard work is shunned.
Farms are not worked as they are east if they were,
we would not have farmers coming into the city to buy
vegetables, as is frequently the case.
H. E. Boyden has given a demonstration this year or
what can be done. On a strip of so-called desert land,
250 feet long, 42 feet wide, he harvested and sold $230.95
worth of strawberries, from vines planted last winter.
From a strip of land the same size,, he sold $200 worth of
blackberries and phenomenal berries. From this less than
half -acre he grossed $430.
What Mr. Boyden did on desert land has been done for
years in the Phoenix district, yet in spite of the opportuni
ty, few embrace it.
"Why wait for years for an orchard to grow' to maturity
when you can secure an equal income at once, provided you
are willing" to work?
The Rogue River valley offers great opportunity for
berry culture and market gardening.
WORLD'S CHAMPION ORCHARD.
WHAT may be called without fear of contradiction,
the most profitable orchard in the world, is the
seven and one-half-acre Bartlett pear orchard south of
Medford owned by John G-. Gore..
For four years past this orchard has netted its grower
$1200 an acre annually. For ten years it has averaged
over $800 an acre annually. It is twenty-two years old
and since" it began bearing has never failed to produce a
crop.
This year Mr. Gore shipped from this seven, and one-half-acre
grove forty-five hundred boxes of Bartletts.
These were marketed in Chicago, the highest price re
ceived being $3.60 a box, the average for the entire ship
ment being $2.90 gross, or $12,950 gross, or nearly $10,000
net, an average of $1300 an acre.
In 1909, this orchard yielded twelve cars, netting Mr.
Gore $9335.10, or $1244 an acre.
In 1908, eleven cars were shipped, netting the grower
over $1000 an acre. In 1907 twelve cars were shipped, net
ting tho grower $10,300, or $1250 an acre.
The Gore orchard shows what a few acres in pears in
tho Rogue River valley will do, when properly cared for,
and proves that the small orchard properly worked is
enough for any man.

Make Every Dollar Worth
More Than ,a Dollar!
An educated ad reader will never be poor.
To "know advertising" is to have a prac
tical knowledge of values of things of
when and how and whore to buy. No one,
having and utilizing such knowledge, could
ever be unthrifty, or in any sense careless
or reckless of expenses. For such knowl-
edge makes for thrift for saving. It makes
ono proof against shams false values
manipulated reductions.
Tho intelligent ad reader uses as much
thought and ability in buying things as is
required in earning the money that ia spent
for them. And that amounts to a substan
tial increase of the vamo of every dollar
of the family revenue 1
