HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1904. t, AGRICULTURE ON INTENSIVE SCALE The following article appeared in a recent number of the Aaloria News, from the pen of Profeenor H. 8. Lyman : It is the idea of what is olten, tpuken of si "intensive, agriculture" that apace is not the,. chWL thing, Sni space, of coarse, is nsiry. But the old idea that production must be in creased by increase in space, Is set aside b? the neWi new at least, here. Spaoa is one of the leant of the elements in production. Under iotensjva agricul ture abont the first thine is to reduce the sise of the farm. Only in this way can or will the o'hei necessary element be brought to bear. . In the Ijood River country the first essential to Hi intensive WetMif faring has been applied. The old sections, or half of quarter sections, hava been cut up. One farmer with whom li tallied over the fence as he paused in his mowing, said in reply .UHitf, qicjtiu, that he' owned ten acres, but thought he wanted fifteen. Another gave the aim f hi farm as SJ. Another, and this the own er of one of the finest looking in the talley, pave his as 42 acres hut added, apologetically, that this was too much. About tm to filteen acres was regarded as the averace. From a casual list of farms offered for sale over one half are of 2u acres or under, and those over this are mainly cheap unimproved places The valuable plane are small. The value is at once seen to be not ia the apace covered, but in what comes off of the space. One hundred dollars to $200, or up to 300 per acre is asked for farm lands in full cultivation. Bare land bringing nothing back is worth 115 or less. The element of speculation or speculative value, is almost eliminated ; it Is scarcely considered. Looking over the farm even at glance on a dreamy morning walk one sees why an acre of farm Isiul is valuable at t'lOO. .Clover or, alfalfa, the sec ond or third crop, make many an acre green now where twenty years ago the ground waa too hare at this season to sist the proverbial Jack, rabbit. Five tons or more of fodder now grow where then waa scant pant ure, or occasionally field of wheat. The land has been made productive nine mouth infttead of three. But the clove, ia nut grown so much for its self a to improve the soil. Even four or five tons of hay per acre i but an auxiliary crop, and this when bay ia worth. (Jfi a ton. Passing on one sees the strawberry vines forming the covering of about half the farm lands in the valley. One cultivator of tbi fruit- stated that last year thi brought him hut ttSO per acre. But he marketed but half his crop; the fault was not in the production, but in a market badly glutted. Another strawberry grower says that an average crop brings 1 a crate, and 100 to, 150 crates per acre IJUO to. if'Mti, la tkut a conservative estimate Two poor years have now com iu sueoaswon, last year's crop having been injured by rain fol lowed by neat in the picking, season ; and this vear's ripening at precisely the time tfiat the main crnp( In the, East was placed on the roarkut. Like every , industry, strawharry, growing thus,, ha Its u pa and down. It i. also, more than any staple, subject to change from place to place; making sudden spurts here and there, and a suddenly declin ing. The Jitiawburry, like, mapy thiug superfine; is thus prone to be coy and fickle in. its favors. For this reason the prafurance now, is toward the cultivation,, of apples, Under proper, encouragiuetU this is. no wonder. An orchard, now noticed, for Instance, is so heavily loaded that many of the branches ar bent to the ground and Clearly evrey tree is supported by props Going In one finds the owner at work on hi apple, ltou. There are sis acre in the orchard, he says; seventy trees, to the acre; not less than five boxes to the tree ; and he has already sold, his entire crop at $1.70 per box, or DiiBtinlot 4u pounds, 'l lie applet are the Newtown pippin, remarkable for its keeping and shlppuig, qualities. After navunr 5 cents ner box lor the sale, over tli.OQU, will lie left; or foOO per acre for one year. This may salely be divided to average up the. crops ami the. markets, and then place apple growing as safer andi surer than strawberries; but the lierrleiLwill not be superseded to an ex elusive extant, They. are. the things beat adapted here to culture while pre paring lor uia on uard. All, this time one has been observing the immediate agent In bringing this land up from a bars IKLto the.acru. to a value of IJOO, It is the water. For space the vaittu may De assign not, over flu, To find the other. $2fio value we must flnd,atiute other eluuiei;ti beside Mia, sur face Here at Hood itivcr one cannot assign much to the soil. This ia light, sandy or gravelly, and usually reckoned pooc.. It lias certain excellencies; but cannot compare with iuuU oiU a in the I'alouse country, for instance, which is worth only $30 or I HI pet acre, Much of the value, in addition to that of the surface aud soil, ntuat, then, be,, altrib uted to the element that ha been brought upon the surface thm water. Thi has been flowing in great quanti ties In the river bed. It is now. distrib uted over iha Burlaw nd ha mode, the. lntontuve agriculture possible here. Or rather, it is the new Idea, uf the , Inten sive agriculture to put together in mall', and convenient space the scat tered, or divided, elements that are reqnuvd in production. If the water and tujil are separated, bring the, water Fran tke Oregon Timberman, October 1, the Menominee Lumber company shut down for UO days in order to work on stock . litis company then had on hand 3.700,000 feet, which has since been reduced to 1,000,000 feet. The company report a market stronger than 30 days ago and the volume of tin loeKS as greatlv improved. Us camps ou the White Salmon began operations Meptembor 20, ami are cutting 7o,ouoieet per day, Tha company, in common with other manufacturers complain of a shortage of cars. Manager Inglis of the Oregon Lum ber company's mill at Inglir, reiiort shipping about 100 cars of lunilx-r per month to points in nehraxka, Utah, Ida ho, Wyoming and toChirago. IJetween March 1, when the mill was opened, and October 1, the mill cut 8,OOo,(KH) feet. Thia min recently completed an order for a sugar mill at Black foot, Idaho, for II0,0UU feet of lumber. The present cut uf the mill averages 75,000 feet per day, of fir. The company's logging camp on Heaver creek, is culling about 78,000 feet of logs dally. Isvennort Bros. Lumber company Hood River, reports an increase in de mand for dimension and the local mar ket shows an advance. The company's at lireen point is cutting timber wit h a temporary rig lor its new two-mile flume from the mill to connect with the old flume which will efforil the company 11 miles of Hume, its ftwtnihr ship ments to all points included some So cars, of which .SO cars went to the Han Pedro road, 30 to the Oregon Short Line and the remaining 40 to variona points. The total shipmnets were 1,100,00(1 feet. The Bridal Veil Box company, Bridal Veil, report the past seaoon as exceed ing expectations. Its orders for boxes lor Hood Kiver truit packers lor the season amounted to 40,000. In Decem ber it will begin an order for oranve boxes for Los Angeles packers of 75,000. During the past season it tilled orders for Portland flour boxes of 10,000. The company has been running a night crew since last July, owing to a short age of water, whicli is used during the day to supply the Bridal Veil Lumber ing company. As soon as the stage of permits the company will resume opera tions with a dav crew. The Bridal Veil Lnmlier Company. Bridal Veil, has removed its old quar ters, which it has occupied for 15 years past, to a new ollice building 24x24. The main room is finished in natural fir and other in natural lurch. Manager Brad ley reports their mill is cutting 70,000 to 75,000 feet per day. The total Hep tember cut was 1,930,0.11 feet, and that of October close to 2,000,000 feet. The company is working on an order for uoiseot upwards of l.OUO.OOO leet of dimension. It is filling un order for 200.0(H) feet tor Walla Walla and one of (KK),(XK)fot for Milton. Its Heptemlier shipments were 07 cars cars and its Oc tober shipments exceed that figure. Its present stock on hand is apout 1,000,000 feet. Manager Urajloy says there is no trouble in getting orders, and look for better prices next year. Fell 0 Feet but Wasn't Dead. Officer Crate thought he surely had run across a suriect for the coroner Tuesday evening as he wns coming into town trom a walk out to llooovil e savs The Dalles Chronicle. As he passed a point near the oil tanks he saw an Indi an lying on the rocks at the foot of the bluff, with a big gash in his head, from whitSh blood wan dreaming Hastening to a telephone he called up Coroner Bur- Wood and an get, who, with Marshal resa wagon, was soon on tne snot, en they stopped to pick up the fallen the snot, red man they discovered that the "corps expr Whe wasn't dead yet." 1'lac ing him in the wagon they brought hi in to the city jail and later turned him over to tilliciims, and the last heard from htm was that the happy hunting ground may be siah coupa close, ltii'ti but lie wont ue a rem lent for a while yet. Jt seems that some Indians trom warm npriugs were having a hlas close tune, when one of them pushed the other over the bluff a. fall of U0 feet onto the rocks below where he was lountt, The coroner didn't set on him but concluded that Siwanhei are like cats, having nine lives.

This certainly i nothing new. But here in Hood Kiver there is a new application of the old principle or prac tice. This is under new and better circumstances, and is a great success, It is making land worth ten to twenty times what it has been, and ia, multiply ing production equally. Here a comparatively- new theory of the water has bee a applied- If, tlie water Is the main, agent of bringing land up to high value, it would seem that to the water should, go the, pay. And so it should, and so it has been arranged here. That is, the water runs with the land.

Cram, THAT AWFUL DUST ON TRIP TO HOOD A writer in the Brooklyn Eagle has the following to say of Hood Kiver apples and Hood Kiver dust: It is not as much fun to raise straw berries as it is to eat them, but it is more profitable at Hood Kiver. Lant year 00,000 24-pound crates which brought the growers $150,000 were shipped from Hood Kiver. As much as $700 to $HO0 is olten realized from' an acre of berries, though $300 ia the more usual sum, of w hich at leant two-thirds is net profit. Knowing this it is not surprising to hyar that good strawberry lands sell here for $.'MK) an acre; hut it dm'8 rather make one open his eyes to learn Unit, apple lands with bearing trees are held at $1000 an acre. For Mount Hood's banner crop is not strawberries but apples. The most wonderful tales are told here of Mount Hod tipples, and believed by everyone who has ever seen the orchards and the apples they bear. Tim orchards are young, but they yield $500 to $X00 worth if large, bright, wormless apples of line flavor, to the acre. It is of record" that one man sold $7500 worth of apples from eight acre one season, and anoth er $1121 worth from three acres. , The arid west is the best adapted to fruit growing of any country known. Iheie are no off years, for irrigated I orchards Dear lull crops every year, What a full crop is, only those who have seen the trees weighted down with incredible quantities of fruit can under stand. . Apples, peaches, pears, plums. grapes ami small fruits all thrive and produce fruit superior in size, flavor and appearance to anything grown cunt of the Mississippi. There isonegreatplague which afHicts all the arid west and that is dust. Home places are more dusty than others, but no one ever heard of a place that was less dusty. But of all the dusty roads that ever a fool tenderfoot ventured upon, the one up Mount Hood is the worst. The soil on Mount Hood is of volcanic ash, which may be good to raine strawberries upon, but it is mighty poor stuff to breathe. It is worse than any other dust ever invent ed, for it is ground finer, is lighter, more penetrating and more irritating. it is worse man irniaung, u is mauuen- ing, hvery Btep of the way the dust is from four to six inches deep. The horses seem to take delight in dragging their h-et so as to stir it up as much as possible. Whenever they get a good chance they plant their hoofs squarely upon an unusually impalpable heap. sending great umbrella-like rings of the stuff circling up their legs and back into your eyes. The stage is constantly enveloped in a great gray cloud in which you cough and choke and sneeze and gasp and darn .the luck to thunder. You try to Ian a little hole in the cloud so you can get at least a part of a breath; dm, nil ling in uus oii try Homing your breath until you have to let go or stop breathing for kteps. Then you find you have made things worse, for after hold ing the breath one involuntarily inhale" more deeply than usual for several respirations. This sends the (lust into the remote recesses of vour lungs that have hitherto escaped the general asphyxiation and the result is a parox ysm ot sneezing that nearly brings on apoplexy. At rarj intervals a puff of air win roil me uuhi a icw inches away from your tide of the stage. You open your lips to snatch a quick breath of relatively pure air before the clouds roll back and the hind wheel flirts a pint or so ot the heavier dirt Into your mouth. Kven if you can contrive to get a breath occasionally, it is jolted out of you before you have a chance to enjoy its possession. For you advance by climb ing up on a rock and falling off on the other side and then repealing the proc ess ad mil mt inn. This sort of travel Is considered too severe for the horses, so they are changed half way up the mountain. But no mercy is shown the passengers; they are not even given chloroform. In tho innocence of your heart you may have imagined you would get some grand views m going up this inounUiin At the rare Intervals when the dust cloud is lilted for an instant by a wan dering zephyr you get an entrancing vista of chaparral and chinquapin hushes for several inches on either side of the road and that Is absolutely ail. For the road is a singlo track cut through underbrush so thick that a chipmunk couldn't get through it. This concen trates the dust within a narrow space so the passengers can breathe it all w ithout a ante. After eight hours of mortal agony you may expect to hear a relief party from Cloud Cap Inn. Guides meet the Btago below the inn, lift the helpless passen gers out and shovel them off. Wm. M. Stewart. J. K. Band, 8. K. Bartrtioss, J. K, Booth, Wood Bros, Mayes Bros., tieo. P.
