PLAN GREATEST
PEAR ORCHARD
Modoc Orchard to Be Latest in
World Extensive Improvements
Made and Under Way Model
Community Settlement Built.
The "Modoc Orchard" promises
to become the model orchard prop
erty of Southern Oregon as well as
tho inrgest pear orchard in the
world. It comprises 1500 acres,
with six miles of frontage on both
i sides of Roguo river in tho viemii
of Upper Table rock (formerly the
jold Bybeo place), and is one of the
'most picturesque spots iu the eoun-
frw It is under the management
of Y. A. Sumner and is owned by
tho estate of Potter Palmer of Chi
cago. Extensive improvements
have been and are being made,
which when completed will make tho
orchard one of the show places of
Oregon. The soil of Modoc orehnrd
constitutes the largest body of river
bottom loam under one ownership
'in the northwest. Though it flows
tho beautiful Rogue. Drives and
iconic roads form part of the pro
posed improvements, and rapid pro
press has been made during the past
year in carrying out comprehensive
plans for creating one of the great
orchards of the world.
Twenty I'uildings Erected.
Upon a sightly hill, along the
count) road at the north end of tho
comity road, 20 buildings' have re
cently been erected, which form a
little village by itself in which the
ranch force and employes will re
side. These buildings have all
been painted white, overlook the en
tire orchard and form a model com
mtiiiitv. There is an immense bnrn
in which several hundred tons of
hay and 30 head of livestock are
sheltered: there are six neat cot
tages in which eniploj'es and thoir
families can reside, besides the
Tanch house w$th accommodations
for a score of single men. There U
a ,refrigcrator house, woodsheds,
chicken houses and numerous other
necessary structures. There is a
comoletelv eauipped blacksmith
shop, a washhouse and all the feat
ures that make life agreeable nsrwell
as manv modern conveniences -
ually found only in cities. Water is
supplied from it newly drilled well,
which is lined with n concrete lube
to bedrock, nrul id pumped into
distributing system which supplies
the community, barn mid corrals'.
Around the greater part of. the
entire orchard n woven wire- fence
runs, sn.vvd and dressed cedar on
posts painted white with numerous
wire gato3 for exits. A" lawn will
be made in front of tho houses,
while the court, walks and drives in
the rear have been graveled. Each
of the cottages contains three largo
xooius which arc attractively pa
pored as well as a sitting porch, and
everything is provided to make u
contented community.
Before planting, the ground h
nil graded so that it can all be ini
gated from Table Hock ditch, which
runs through and above the greater
portion of the property. From this
ditch the ground slopes gently to
ward the river. Seven thousand
young pear trees planted last spring
have made wonderful growth. A
still greater number will bo planted
this winter, and each year will see
an annual inereaso fii tho orchard
area. The pears comprise seven
varieties, Sucluiling I'nrtlctt, 13oc.
D'Anjou, Cornice, Winter Noli;.,
Howell and P. Barry. One variety
will mature just after the other, so
that a single picking and packing
crew will be kept busy throughout
the season. Motor trucks will haul
the fruit to the railroad at night,
and a pre-cooling plant for tho
treatment of fruit before shipment
will be erected.
Six Humltvd Acres of Pears.
A large donkey engine is busy
pulling stumps on the hill above the
present orchard. Some eighty acres
of this hill will be set to pears this
winter. On tho most sightly por
tion a costly residence, which will
command a view of the entire fam
ily, will b erected ns a summer
home for Honore Palmer and family.
When the present plans are car
ried out there will bo a continuous
pear orchard of 000 acres north of
the river. Eventually the land to
the south of the river will also be
planted, but for the present it will
be farmed for grain and hay for iim1
on the property.
In order to avoid damage by flood
water it is the intention in the near
future to construct n retaining dike
nearly a mile in length near the
present river channel, the crown of
which will form a portion of a sce
nic driveway.
