HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1004. APPLES RETURN $1,000AN ACRE The story of one thousand dollars an aero from apples seemB hardly possible until a visit is made to the orchards of Sears A Porter on the East Bide. Here Mr. Rears will tell you the tale and iioint out the trees. 91 of them, from w hich lust fall were gathered 585 boxes of 34 and 4-tier Yellow Newtowns. to sav nothing of the 4 and 5-tier fruit As these apples sold for $2.10 a box, figure out yoursell (lie returns irom that one aere. A walk throug! the orchard leads one to believe that the very same trees will duplicate the record again this year. ' Althoimh it w vet two months until picking time the apples are now large enough for Mier fruit. What the next two months will do in filling out the fruit remains only to be seen. The trees on which these uncles were' crown are now in their eighth year. The Gla cier had heard a great deal about the famous East Side orchards, and last Friday hitched up horse and buggy for a look at some of the fruit trees. One dav will not suffice to see more than a half dozen or so of the banner orch ards. First, at the head of the grade going over the hill is tlie larm ot v. v. nicn ox, purchased last year from Benton Kami. Mr. Hickox paid $2,300 for the 40 acres, hut says he wouldn't take 3,000 for the place. He has been offered $2,300. Mrs. Fobs owns a fine ranch on the left hand side of the road going south. Her bovs are farming the same, with hn.snoru of a iff mkI aimle croo this year The boys have sprayed thoroughly, and have kept the trees in good shape. Most of the trees are of the standard Knitaeiiberiis and Yellow Newtowns. This Iurm also has 30 acres planted to wheat hay. . Adjoiuiug the Foes ranch, Earl Prath- er lias least! ID acres oi uie oeamao Cox nlaee. Mr. Prather haa berry and apple ranch., and by hard work has a place that in a lew years will oe turn ing off a snug sum of money. This year he expecU to harvest 500 boxes of apples. The fruit will be first class. Mr. Prather finds it profitable to keep a dozen or so liens, as eggs have oeen 25 cenls all Hurinir and summer, and on a farm of this sort there is plenty of food f-r the hens. Water from the Hone irrinating ditch is now within reach of all these farms, and patches of green garden truck are everywhere to Vie seen. J. L. Carter, who bought the 55 acres from Martin Hand, has a very fine farm. I his is Mr. Carter's third year here and he has the orchard in splen did roiid tion. Prospects are good for a i ri i of fine apples ll r. Carter eati mates hi crop at 2,000 boxes. On this place there is obtainable one of the best bird's-eye views of the valley to be had anywhere. Mr. Carter took the editor out to 1 1m promontory overlooking the stream of Hood River, and with a pair of held glasses a splendid view of the whole of the west side of the valley was to be had, as well as the snow-capped peaks of Iloou and Adams. Mrs Car ter distributed a generous supply ol peaches to the newspaper ni"n, wliicli they voted delicious. J. W. Johnson is starting a young orchard which present! a thrifty ap pearance. Mr. John on has four or five iieri'H in clover hay that will turn off a good crop. SI. I', flieff and Mrs. Oiler adjoining tlm Muishall property have an orchard of mixed varieties which promises a good icld. Mr. Noff expects to clear more land and set to winter apples tins fall. C. K. Marshall, who purchased the Steinhillier place last January, is mak ing a success of the fruit business. Before coming west, Mr. Marshall was building electric railroads in New York state, but he has gone after the fruit business in the same practical manner, and bus Irs orchard in perfect condition. The greater p.irt of his old orchard con sists of mixed varieties, and just now he is shipping a lot of summer apples. These trees are a sight to behold, with a dozen and two dozen props i.nder thum to keep thy fruit from breaking down the limbs. Mr. Marshall was just starting out to get a load of more props as the visito s reached the orchard. The orchard pre-ents .the apiearance of a hop field wi'li the innumerable poles propping up ilie trees. Mr. Mar shall estimates his crop this year at 5,000' boxes. He is setting out more land as fast us it can lie cleared, having already ai res in orchard. Mr. Mar shall hud the day before gathered 41 boxes of striped Ast radians from four trees, and a casual observer could not notice their lus.i from the heavily laden trees. J. U. Jurvis, whose land adjoins that of Sears & Torter, has three acres in bearing orchard from which he expects to gather 1,200 lioxes of apples. Mr. Jams hasn't been in the apple business so long as his neighbors, Messrs. Seats & Porter, but a glance at his treeB goes to show that the older orchardist.8 excel him only in quantity ami extent of orchards. Three years ago Mr. Jarvis was conducting a wheat ranch in the Dakotas. James Laeey also has a good story on the productiveness of his-orchard lands. Last year from one acre he gathered 050 boxes of apples, of which 350 were 4-tier apples, and a greater part of the remain der marketable fruit. Mr. Lacey home steaded his farm 21 years ago. He has splendid opportunities for getting rich . on his fruit ranch. This year he esti mates his crop at 1,000 boxes, mostly' Spit zen bergs and Newtowns. J. N. Confer has eight acres of his 25 set to orchard. This spring while clear ing land, he was assisting workmen - to fell a 200-foot tree. After the tree was sawed completely in two, the tree stood there scarcely moving for full ten min utes. The men being unable to tell in which direction it would fall, were forced to run for their lives. A. V. Morrow is a new comer who has located northeast of the William Kennedy place. Mr. Morrow intends to plant the land to fruit trees as soon as lie gets the ground cleared. Further up the hillside is the home of V. A. Noble, another new settler, Mr. Kooel has a small orchard planted, ami alfalfa sowed this year has made a good start There is plenty of irrigat ing water on the place, and all vegeta ble are looking green and fresh. The view fiom Mr. Noble's house takes in the uliole valley, both east and west tides. Swlim Tiie Columbia River. Louis Henderson, son of John Iceland Henderson, following in the waves of fame plowed by his illustrious father, warn across the Columbia last Thurs day afternoon. His lrother, Ned, ac companied him in the water, half the distance across the river, when he climbed aboard the skiff which Mr. Jury rowed alongside the swimmers. Ned says he will not give up until he makes the Bwim clear across. There is not the least doubt of his capability in the nnderfcking. - There Is a strong current in the I ol nnibia at all stagfl of the water. This tx.k the swimmer down stream ami caused hiin to cover a distance of fully a mile and a half. The distance on straight line across the river is one mile. - hub is a swimming record few can equal in the state of Oregon. Others may make the distance in still water but : the coldness of the Columbia requires strong enduring powers. , , . Describes Hood Kiver Farms. A. Paffenberuer. who recently can vassed Hood River iu the interest of the Pacific farmer, has the following de- scriptive article on some of the Hood Kiver larins: , Mr. aud Mrs. J. O. Eastman own choice acreage on Phelps creek, Hood river valley, with a tine 4-acre orchard mostly Uanos, Spitzenbergs, Black Twigg and Koxbury Kussets, mostly in bear ing. A fourth ol an acre of l.awton blackberries are very; thriftv, having produced 128 crates, or at the rate ot 500 crates per acre ; last year the patch netted $100. A few years ago, when the Eastmans' settled on the place, it was a dreary, brushy piece of land, but it has now become a valuable piece of Karl Eastman and son, Al, own a val uable 40-acre tract on Phelps creek, and have a good orchard of a thousand apple trees, chiefly Spitzenbergs and lellow Newtowns in bearing. The great thrift- ines8 of the trees shows good care and cultivation. F. C. Church, native of Milwaukee, Wis., and four years in the Hood River valley, owns the highly improved bav age tract in Belmont district ; 8 acres of same is iu orchard, mostly lieginning to bear, last year producing 500 boxes of choi'xt apples. Last year he harvested a 2-acre crop of strawberries. As soon as harvested, the last of June, he plowed the ground and sowed it to clover, and in August he cut the first crop of clover grown from, same early in September for green baling, and again in lute Octo ber for hay, making in all the equiva lent of two tons of hay per acre. The present season he will get two good crops of hay and a good lute pasture. Four years ago the place with good improve ments cost f 125 per acre; now land of the same kind brings $350 to $500 an acre. J. W. Anderson owns a choice 40-acre tract, beiug a part of the Armor tract in Belmont district. Part of the place is meadow and produces 75 tons of hay in season. Mrs. Anderson is breeding buff Orphingtoii8 and buff Leghorns, and has some remarkably good birds of both breeds. M. P. Isenberg and son, M. II. Isen berg, in Hood River vallev since '91, own land in different localities. The home place of 17) acres in the iielmont district is a very choice- one. mostly iu good bearing orchard and straw berries. .Mr. 1. knows how to cultivate Ins straw berries to the Dest advantage, and an important point .at picking time is to have the viuea stripped clean of all ripe berries. Maturing the seed in the strawberries is a very exhausting proc ess, and it the vines are not picked clean, the later berries will be fewer and smaller than otherwise. Mr. Iseir lierg was supervisor of the North Div ision of the Cascade forest reserve, and served with credit to the interests under his charge. Adolph Aschoft, who wus assistant supervisor or duet ranger of forest iteserve under M. r. isenberg, became the latter's successor in I'ebruary last. Mr. Asehoff and Mr. Isenberg have each other a friendship and confidence TheieareS to 20 rangers under the direction of the supervisor of this div ision of the reserve, the larger number in summer and the smaller in winter There are three classes of rangers. The first class or chief ranger, travels over the whole range or division and must be potted In everything relative to ranges. must be familiar with the woods to be able to locate land and timber, estimate and scale timber, to follow and run out survey lines and to direct and report intelligently on ordinary wcrk of the reserve, etc. Rangers of the second and third classes require no particular. especial qualifications, but must be able- bodied, sober and industrious. All rangers are usually required to keep one or two saddle horses for traveling about the reserve, and they have to be pro vided with pocket compass, a camp out fit, ax, shovel and pick or mattock. Last war Mr. Aschoft as chief ranger traveled over 1,400 miles on horseback through the different parts of. the re serve, the division of the reserve looked ' after by Mr. Asehoff extends from the Columbia river south to the Three Sisters, comprising about two million acres. Fiist class rangers get $00, second class, $75, third cbss $00 per month Mr. Ascliolt s hoihe is on the "('evil's Backbone," on the liar low rood, 35 miles from Portland and nine miles above Sandy postolHce, and is a great summer resort for summer . vis itors. . . Wm. Crupper, in mixed farming in Crupper district bus a place of over 100 acres, partly improved. The soil here is a friable red clay loam, many feet deep, and highly productive. Four acres in strawberries on the place pro duced 160 cvates per acre, and several acres of fine orchuid liearing well. 11. s. Mali, farming In mountain dis trict weBt of Crapper district, raises fine quality of strawberries. The. season here lor berries begins about two weeks J later than the earliest in the lower parts of the valley. , . A. J. Rogers owns place on high lulls seven or eight miles south of Hood Riv er, soil red clay and shot land several feet in depth, fine for berry raising; three-quarter acre patch first season produced 109 crates J. K. limns owns 50 acres on moun tain side south of Phelps creek, sandy clay, shot loam, with gray clay subsoil Ten acres are in good young orchard, Cart liearing ; also several acres in straw erries; has raised 250 crates per acre. Land here is choice for orchard points. Jasper Wickhum is in mix. d farming on place on Hood river, 7 miles south west of town. Place is in w arm cove, 150 to 200 feet above river, soil gravellv clay and shot land, on slope 10 to 25 degrees, excellent for orchard and small fruits; several acres in strawberries, yielding about 100 crates per acre. Wm. I', uregory, six years latin fctuo rado, KauHf, owus acreage in Crapper district; 12 acres iu poUtoei yielded 15 sacks per acre; straw bo nes 100 crates per acre. Cuts 100 tons of hay in seas in; orchard ot ouo trees bearing average crops. rj. urayior.i, native oi nianornsiure, England, recently from Mesa, Wash., where he was in the merchandising bus iness, has engaged iu same business at Rockford Store, ip Harrett district, Hood Kiver valley. This is a thickly populated district aud location for busi ness is a good one, and Mr. K. carries a large general stock of goods, with pros perous trade. Mrs. Emma J. Ingalls owns choice acreage in the Barrett district. Mrs. I. and her husband, lute deceased, settled here 25 years ago, when there were very few settlers and but little improvement. Daniel B. Labbee, native of Oconto, Wis., and recently in merchandising business at Ontario, has purchased the fine acreage tract of "Fair Oaks,'' in Barrett district, Hood River valley; 12 acres of same is well improved ia orch ard and small fruits, etc. Several acres r in orchard. Soitzenberes. Newtowns and more to be planted. The place is a t'l.oice one, costing nearly ai.ju r acre. Thoa. tes. resident of Columbus Wa-'h., 20 years, purchased liece of timber land in Barrett district, and is making substantial improvements. W. b. Hull, raising strawberries on Indian Creek, back of Hood Kiver, pro duced 1000 crates on 5' acres, crop of 1003; past season 100 crates per acre, want of water early in season making the shortage ; also smaller berries than usual. Thinks, as it was, 50 crates more per acre could have been picked bad there been canning facilities for caring for the large surplus that went unpicked in the valley. This land will produce bie crops of canning re:ia and Wus, as evidenced by Mr. Hull's gar den. S. J. Hershev. native uf Lafayette, Ind., came to Hood River two years ago and settled on tract of pine and oak stump land, paying $150 per acre for uie name, arm last wiiuvr soiu aoout half of same for almost enough to pay for all. In spring of last year he set out strawberry plants grown on runnejra from double and triple crowned parent plants, and most of the new plants have proven to be double and triple crowned, and are far ahead in growth and vigor to those from single crowns, and they are also proving more productive, too. G. A. Howell, Mouut Hood road, owns choice 15-acre tracts, considerable por tion in orchard and small fruits. Mr. II. is a blacksmith and purchased acre age here severul years ago, improving his place, making it productive enough to make him independent of bis trade. Slump In Eastern Apple Prospects. Two months ago apples promised a bumper yield throughout nearly all sections of the country. Growers based their estimates on the heavy bloom, which exceeded expectations after such a trying winter such as that of 1903-4. Since the fruit began to develop, how ever, there has been marked change in conditions. This is quite general. One reason assigned was the wet spring, which prevented proper pollination. Another was the abnormally heavy drop in many of the middle states. However, while it is evident that early promises will not be fulfilled, orchardistB should bear in mind the impetus given the fruit industry by extensive planting of trees the past few seasons, Many of these will now come into bearing the present year, and this will in measure tend to offset the poor prosjiects. The season continues late in New York and advices from big applegrowing countries indicate tiiat the crop will not fuove near a lull one. Uswego growers ook for 50 per cent, Albany for 60, St. Lawrence 70, Ontario 35 to 50. Orleans indications are for a lighter yield than in 1003. Erie is counting on a medium to fair crop. At this date it would appear that peach and pear prospects throughout the Empire State are for moderate yields. Growers in several counties say they will be surprised at a half a crop of pears. V In the Keystone State the apple out look is somewhat irregular. Columbia counts on a heavier crop, Schuylkill on a good yield and Center on a fair harvest. Franklin reports to American Agricul turist that apples will be a failure ; Dau phin will not have over one-quarter of a lull yield aud Cumberland 50 per cent on high ground. The Pennsylvania peach crop ranges from poor to fair, in one or two counties it is very medi ocre, while in a few it is ahead of lust year. Pears are fairly promising. The Virginia apple crop is disappoint ing and some parts of the state orchard- ists say they will consider themselves luckv to tret a half vield. In Rocking- ham the harvest is said to be less than for many years. This condition is more discouraging by reason of the heavy bloom that was secured early in the spring. Many counties report a good peach crop iu sight. In central Dela ware, apples are fairly good, and peaches are better than lust year. Peaches uneven. Northeasterr Maryland looks for a more general apple crop than in 1003 and a full yield of peaches. Season is late, but pears promise fair and plums a big harvest. In New Jersey, conditions are irregu lar. Essex County looks for a good yield of apples, white Burlington orch ardists say prospects favor no more than a half crop. The peach yield in Essex promises well, and the same may be said of the peara. New England apples prospects are much better than were expected during the winter, and gener ally show less depreciation during the spring months than was noted. jn other parts of the country. Peaches, however, will "be light, although parts of New Hampshire are counting on a bettor crop than last year. Fruitmun's Guide. Reports from Missouri state that under the most favorabl conditions from this time on that state will have not more than one-fourth of a crop of apples. Dr. Whitten, horticulturist of Missouri Experiment Station, says the dropping was due to the unusual devel opment of fungus. The wet spring was lavorable to the development of the fun gus and prevented effective spraying with Bordeaux mixture. - Safeguard the Children. Notwithstanding all that is done by in- boards of health and charitably enned persons, tlie death rate among small children Is very high during the hot weatber of the summer mouths in the larcre cities. There is not nrobablv one case of bowel complaint in ft bund red, however, that could not be cured by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, ror sale by all druggists.
