ARE HARVESTEO
Jacksw DUnty Will Have Large Crop
f Utscleus FruitMany Uscfc
are Fount! for the Grape by the
,, Housewife.
,, The viuoynrds on tlio hills above
Jnohson ,11ml flriitin creeks, nre now
yielding llioir annual harvest or In
" o!ouh grapes. Mnny of , these vine
yards xvcro planted nvrny bnck in the
fifties when gold mining attracted
tlfo first se-ttlers-into tbo Rogue llivcr
valley. lng before commercial or
chards were thought of thc.-o vine
yards vero noted for their produc
tiveness and for the lusciousnc it
their fruit. Copies of Magazines of
the time, such as the West Shore,
Hound the praises of the Jnckbon
county vineyards.
. Thcso vineyards though some of
them nre unkept, arc still yielding
tons of grapes each year, but on
account of the activity m horticul
ture and other rbnnehes of farming
and industry, viiiecultiirc has been
. nearly lost sight of.
The variety thnt was planted to
the greatest extent in the early day
ras the Blue mission. This grape
it? noted for its fine flavor. The
Mission grape is o.eeially adapted
to -the mnking of grape juices, jelly
and wine In tbo burly burly of de
velopment nlon other lines, tho uti
lising of the products of the Mfc
sion grape has been partially over
looked. However, tho knowing
liou.-ewife is now busily .supplying the
winter's demand of her household f,or
jelly from these grapes while they
arc still rather green and is prepar
ing for reducing them to uiiforment-
ed juice later when the grapes are,
lully njM?. Besides the household
consiimplioii of the JIluc Miion
grape, there are a few wineries in
operation which use a number of tons
each fall. Then also, some families
prepare wine for themselves, from
this grape. The process consists of
simply squeezing the juice out of the
grnjies and nllbxring it to ferment
aiid later adding to the juice a little
alcohol.
Unfermcnled grape juice as a bev
erage is becoming increasingly popu
lar in America and with good rea-on
since it provides not only a delicious
"food drink," but a wholesome food
medicine as well.
)fc A well known dietitian says: "Lem
ons and grapes contain more abund
antly the potash salts of which all
fruits have important quantities. Of
these two fruits, grac's are better
fitted for use os food proper, and
arc perhaps adapted to a larger per
centage of the human beings whose
"digestive" organs an in need of re
pair. Doth the water and sugar of
the grape require virtually no diges
tion, but arc taken almost at once
into the blOod. The kidneys, liver,
intestines and other' organs arc
cleared and strengthened by the miu-
Jearl elements df this fruit. In fact
'it the grapes were a patent medi
cine, more could hardly be claimed
,for it, since it has been recommended
and given as a cure for almost ev
ery form of respiratory ailemnt, for
mo nerves, tlie blood, the spleen, and
for skin affections."
'This is a somewhat strong state
ment'; but at least grapc-juicc lias
this advantage over mast patent
medicines if it does not effect a
oure, it will at least do no harm, and
it' is exceedingly pleasant to take.
.Most housekeepers think of the
Crim-ord grape only, when grape
juice is mentioned; and certain! V this
grape gives a richly flavored juice
uini is always acceptable. But
other grapes may bo used, alone or in
combination, giving almost as maiiv
colors and flavors of grapd juice as
th'dre nre of wine.
There nre several methods of ex
tracting' mid preserving the juice,
each of which hns its good points
anil may lie. best adapted to palicn
lur circumstances or varieties of
lnut. The less the juice i shented
tho iiiore closely Ihe original flavor
itf 'Maintained, aiid the grcn'ter care
liuiht be taken in the sterilization cf
bottles, corks, etc.
WJiure grapes nre cheap and
nbiiitdaut, and sugar is high in price.

The entire collection ot about five

to add to the. collection which may
be brought in. free ot cost, until

the club would greatly appreciate tho

As there are practically no birds

WOODVILLE STARTS
AHEAD .
As a further proof that tho "dull
times" canot daunt tho faith of somo
of the oldest inhabitants that a great
future is surely beforo them, the little
town of Woodvllle is now up and do
ing things.
First the town voted almost unan
imously for a bond issue to pay for
the construction ot an electric light
ing and water system. After a couple
of months of delay things are taking
ona business aspect. Plans and spec
Ifications for both systems are now
on file at the city recorder's office at
Woodvllle nnd at tho office of the
city engineer, L. W. Whiting In Mcor
ford. Bids for the lighting system will be
opened on aSturday. September 30;
those for the waterworks on October
13, and for the bonds on October 27.
The city has mado good progress
on the constructiouot tho well which
is to supply tho city water, and all
indications are that a good supply of
fine water will bo obtained. Mr.
Whiting states that most probably
pressure tanks will be used instead
of -pumping tho water to a reservoir
upon a hill back of tho town. Bids
will be received on both, however.
With Mr. Whiting as city englriecr
tho city is In a position to receive tho
latest plans of city Improvement
works. Before coming to Medford ho
served In the city engineering depart
ments of Washington, D. C. and Se
attle, besides In various engineering
departments of the government. Ho
worked with the city engineer in Med
ford last year until November and
sin co then has been in business for
himself.
Mr. Whiting thinks that Wood-
vlllo is sure to ninko quite a city. Its
geographical location is such that
many tohusand acres of very valuablo
timber, mining and agricultural land
must send their output to tho railroad
there. With a water nnd lighting
system safely installed tho town will
soon turn Its attention to grading tho
streets and building sidowulks nnd a
sewor system. Tho natural "topo
graphy" will make bucIi construction
work ot low cost. He Is much sur
prised at tho opopsltlbu tho people in
and around Woodvllle are showing to
tbo good roads movement for did they
realize all It means to tho wolfaro
of their town nnd to all farmor sof
the valloy they would turn out In u
