i T 7I1Y should tho friutgr6wors oi' Jaokson, Josephine
and Douglas counties pay transportation charges
to the Southern Pacific for necessities that they can so
easily grow with any reasonable business system?" asks
Commissioner A. 11. Carson iii the tenth biennial report
of tjlie Board of Horticulture just issued. le centinues:
"There is a tendency to plant every available acre to
fruit that in my opinion is wrong. After the civil war the
southern states became single-crop planters. Every acre
that would gi'ow cottqn was planted to the exclusion of all
other crops that they needed to niake a cotton crop. Their
hay, bacon, flour, nearly every necessity they required
to make their cotton was bought from the north. They
paid heavy transportation charges for necessities that they
could easily raise on the farm. The southern planters lost
money until they were worked out of their single-crop
system. ,
"Will not the apple, pear, peach and prune growers
in the end Jose money if they persist in planting every
acre to fruit and neglect to grow hay and other necessities
they have to have to grow, a fruit crop? Thousands of
tons of hay the past year was shipped into the third dis
trict, which the fruitgrowers bought at $20 to $25 per ton
and hauled to their orchards to feed the stock necessary
to cultivate and care for thqir orchards.
"This system is wrong. Jt should be discouraged.
IOspec-ially when it is possible on any fruit farm to set aside
a few acres and grow alfalfa for hay that is so badly need
ed for the stock that cultivates the orchards. A few years
ago I. went to one feed firm in Grants Pass and got a state
ment of their Imports for feed that they sold for a year to
the .fawners growing fruit nj the county, and found that
for the year it aggregated ,$102,000. This was onlv one
feed firm out of several in that eity. This amount of im
ported, feed one firm sol,l, wjion it is possible to grow all
the feed' the country requires, and have a surplus for ex
port." The situation is. even worse than this. There are great
areas planted to young trees,, wjth adjacent acres idle, t
will be several years, beljore .these young orchards are pro
ducing, yet nothing is grown; on the idle land, and neces
sary supplies are imported. ,
There are extensive young groves, whore a small army
of men are kept tho year around, with not even a vegetable
garden on the place, scarcely a chicken or hog raised, forc
ing the purchase of these necessities, and as sufficient
quantity for tlio demand is not produced in the valley, the
money must be sent out of (he country.
,Tho cause for this condition is the fancy profit made
from bearing orchards, a profit, so groat that many figure
it cheaper to purchase supplies than to sacrifice orchard
land. Yet so little space is required that it is not good bus
iness to overlook it. Neither is it good business to drain
the community you .reside in by sending money out of the
country that can bo kept here.

Original and Standard
Whatever roofing you are using on any building, you are
paying the price of Ruberoid. ' There are 300 imitations
of Ruberoid, and all of them cost more in the end than
the genuine. These imitations in some cases even have
names that sound like Ruberoid. Frequently they are sold as
Ruberoid. Before they are laid and exposed to the weather
diey look like Ruberoid.
Twenty Years of Service
Ruberoid was the first ready roofing and is the only one that
has made good. It has made good because it is made of the
best wool felt, impregnated with materials manufactured exclu
sively by the makers of Ruberoid and which cannot be found
in any other roofing. '
