WKo Raises Strawberries arid'
Medrord Rockyfords in the
ogue River Valley '
Irrigation answers the question of the man who asks: "What shall
I do and how can I inakt." a living while I am waiting for my orchard to
come into bearing?''
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.
