CONKLIN MASONICBLOCK, An I nthusidstic fruit Man. S. W. Boyd wdio has a fine farm on Griffin creek, was in Jacksonville Satur day. Mr. Boyd is a former Illinois farmer who was allured to Lousiana by the great profits in the rice imiustry, but a few years contending against the malaria and the insect pests in the Louisiana swamps together with the frequent failure in the rice crop convinced him that a rice plant ation wa* not to his liking, lie sold out and came to Oregon ten years ago buying a fine tract of land oil Griffin creek. After a careful investigation Mr. Boyd decided that the fruit imiustry was much the safest ami surest venture in this val ley and last winter he planted 5K acres to apple trees and this winter he will plant 12 acres to pears and three acres to apri- cots. Mr. Boyd’sapple land is a gravelly loam, a wash from the adjacent hills, ami having a great depth ami a dry sub soil makes it an ideal location for an or chard. The pear trees he will plant out on lull land as he is confident that they will grow on dryer land than apples as their nxits grow down instead of spread- ing as do apple tree roots. The apricots being distinctively a dry land tree he w ill plant them well up on the hill side so as to insure their immunity from frost. Mr. Boyd »pent some time in California looking over that state with a view of local ing lie fore coining to Oregon. As to apricots he states that such apricot land as is to la- hail on the hills adjacent to Jacksonville, if in California would bring $21 Ml per acre and every acre be put to ap- cots. Mr. Boyd is of the opinion that the time is not distant when the hills about Jacksonville will be covered with fruit trees instead of a tangle of fir, pine, madrona and other forest trees.
