ADVOCATE MID-SUMMER APPLE EXHIBIT I noticed in an article in theOregonian, some time ago, written by Mr. Lonsdale, who is a large fruit grower in Southern Oregon, where he advised the orchard istn of Oregon to ascertain the particular varctius of fruit which were suited to their Bevorul districts. This was good advice and I have no doubt that it was (ollowod by many people in the orchard business. The following led mo 10 the thought that the best keeping and finest flavored apples will always command the market's highest price. As yet we have not demonstrated which district in Or egon is the best for the keeping quality of the apple. True we have many apple show in the apple season, at which nil varieties show to advantage. This is hardly justice, however, to the intending invester who is always in evidenco at these shows, but who cannot secure the definite evidence there as to the keeping qualities of the apple. Hence, I would suggest a Mid-Suni-nier Apple Exhibit. At such a show, the districts that produce the best keeping apples would take first place assuch and thus iiiBiire the investor of the fact. Where this method might detract, in some measure, from some districts, the districts of merit that produce the best keepers would inherit their own. Ve know there are districts that do produce a pies which retain their flavor and keeping qualities until past mid-summer. So why not advance a Mid-Summer Apple 'Exhibit? It would be a great feature for Oregon as an advertise ment, particularly as Oregon apples are today one of the foremost products of our State and destined in tho future to lead as such. It appear) to me that an apple show held in one or more of the largo cities in mid-summer would create a lively inter est, and I do not see any reason why this could not be done. e claim that we have the keeping quality why not dem onstrate it in the season that would prove it and awaken the must interest lor our most famous product the Ore gon Apple?

The Western, a monthly magazine published at Seattle, has the following to say of Oregon's fruit land and their production : "In Rogue River Valley an average of twenty furms a net production of $1)78.77 per acre, And this is done be neath 'Italian skies,' without any arti ficial application of moisture. This average applies principally to fruit, including apples, peaches and pears' but the showing for diversified farming in this wonderfully delightful valley is an overage of about 20 per cent per acre upon a value of $500. It should be re membered that one important element always governing the price of farming land is the distance from the city or shipping center. First-class fruit land cleared and ready for trees, within a few miles of Medford, which is the metropo lis of this famous valley of Oregon, are selling now at from $250 to $500 per acre. By going farther out, but still upon the main highway, land well suited to the apple, pear, peach and apricot, as well as berries small fruits, can be bought at from $50 peracreupward. Italsoshould be remembered that the price of land is governed by the value of the of the im provements npon it, considered aside from t he intrinsic value of the land."

Most Perfect Apple Ever Seen. I -oval Oregonlans have reason to feel proud because of the tribute to Oregon apples paid bv Professor II. E. Van I'enian, judge' at the Spokane Apple Show, who declared the car of Spitzen bergs winning the sweepstake prize, which were grown at Hood River, were the most perfect apples he had ever been. Prof. VanDeman is a noted judge of fruit, having awarded the prizes at the Columbian Exposition at Chicago and he has also acted in a similar cap acity at the leading fruit shows in the country. St. Johns Review. The Furnish-Coe dam across the Umatilla river at Coe station, the second largest project of its kind in the state, is completed and will (be turned over to the Furnish-Coe com pany by he contractors with in a day or two. The work of filling the great reservoir formed by the construction of the dam will be started upon the arrival of the flood season. ' The water thus stored will be used during the summer months in irrigating 10,000 acres of land contained in the Furnish Coe project in the west end of the county and with Stanfield as the pro ject town. . The dam is 1100 feet long, is fifty feet high, 220 feet wide at its base and 20 feet wide at the top. A con crete core extends from bank to bank and from its bedrock foundation to within five feet of the top of the dam. Though it extends across the Uma tilla river, and will hold the flood waters of that stream until they form a lake nearly a mile wide and nearly two miles long, the water will never be permitted to flow over its top and the normal flow of the river will never be shut off, either summer or winter. The spillway which has been con structed to carry off the surplus water is as large as the original channel of the river and will therefore be sufficient in size to take care of the largest floods the river has ever seen. The sides of this spillway are concrete to prevent their cutting away the bank on either side. Three hundred acres of land, includ ing one of the oldest and best fruit and alfalfa farms along the river, will be flooded by the water in the reser voir which will extend up around the famous Horseshoe curve for a distance of a mile and three-quarters. In its widest place the artificial lake will be three-fourths of a mile in width. This canal, completed four years ago, supplied water for winter irrigation only. This was sufficient for the grow ing of alfalfa, but it was not sufficient for the more intensified farming, to which other irrigated sections are being subjected, so Furnish conceived the idea of building a dam across the Umatilla river, storing its flood waters and using them during the summer months when the Jriver is low. This dam is now completed, the water will soon be stored and the work of allow ing it to pass through the gate into the original channel of the river will commence next summer. The water in excess of the Jnormal flow of the stream will Ibe diverted into the Furn ish canal, while the rights of other water users below .will not be inter fered with.
