Such men as Urnnmicr Pros., Hall and Parker have demonstrated the lad beyond the question . I' a doub,t that there is money to be made by intensive farming in flic Rogue River valley. There is a strong demand tor Rogue river berries; the last season's experience has proven that, the desert soil under irrigation produces the finest, cantaloupes that have been sold in the I'tjrtland markets. The Rogue River yallcy in the next few' years will gain additional lau rels from her strawberries and cantaloupes, and these two products will in time rival the fame of the apples and pears. The man who buys an ir rigated orchard tract, 'planted to trees, can make his jiving by raising berries and cantaloupes between the rows. '. ' ' ' ' During the fjrsf year the orchardist can expect to make a profit at the rate of $200 per acre from his cantaloupes. If he has a five-acre tract( he can plant one acre of strawberries between the nws, and two acres of cantaloupes. The first year his strawberries will not be in bearing, but the .x( nd year he can expect to clear at tho least $.500 from his berry patch. His cantaloupes should show a net return of $-100, so the first vcar the orchardist on a five-acre tract, besides the vegetables and poul trv, whii'h'he 'can easily raise, can' clear $100, and after this time, he should easily make $1)00 per annum by the cultivation of the splice be tween his trees. v.w. , . i4 w ;' . i ' 'V .
