Tbero stems to lie a general awakening to, and recognition of, the fact that the Willamette valley Is nn especially favored country for fruit culture. The acreage in fruits is rapidly increasing, and this fall hd next spring will find many now and extensive orchards planted. There need be no further demonstra tion that, wherever orchards have beeu properly cultivated, trimmed aud cared fo1, fruit growing, nud especially that of the prunes, is a very remunerative business iu this valley, and one that is destined to become a prominent pait of the horticulture in the futuie for this pirt of Oregon. Kalemi9in the very center of this gieat fruit region. AVhat is said of any particular section can be applied wilh even greater force to the vi cinity of Salem. The strongest evi dence that this part of the valley is foremost in fruit growing is that, the largest fruit cannery on the North Pacific coast is in Salem, ami that two of the largest fruit evapo rators are also here. In addition to these several smaller establishments do considerable fruit drying. Pomo na valley, California, which Is cele brate for its fruit, does not come Up with '-the Willamette valley. But the following facts from the Pomo na Progress aro Interesting as bear ing prunes: TACTS ABOUT I'ltUNK YIELDS. "Tile quantity of prunes in Pomo na valley, and dried here this s-ea sou is about 1100 tons. Some people estimate tho quantity at 1200 tons. but tho former figures aro conserva tive. Tho value of this crop and amount p'lld for the labor in picking and drying tho same make prunes worth fully $60,000 to the valley. James Looney, whose orchard Is out on North Kllen street, will unke over $430 an acre from his prime crop this season. There are sixty six-year-old piuue trees iu Frederick's orchard that bavo borne fo50 worth of fruit tills season. From only two acres of prune trees M. P. llussell has gathered and dried a crop that sold on Mon day for $768, aud the orclmrtl has been shamefully neglected for two years. The slxteen-acre prune orchard of George Holier, In tho northern pait of Pomona, yields n crop of about 112 tons. Mr. Holier sold tho crop to a cannery at $33 a ton on the trees. Mr. Holier, therefore, gets a cheek for about $4200, aud has noth ing to do with harvesting the crop. That makes the yield over $260 an aero this season. Tho prsperty was set out In April, 1884, and was val ued in 1885 at $350 nn ucre. Now that it has coma Into bearing, it yields a net profit eiiual to ten per cent Interest on an investment of $2550 on eash acio. How does such a profit compaio with tliu profits from farming and fruit-growing hi tho Fust? There are a doen prune orchards here that yield a crop w rtli $300 an acre this season. N. P. Hardy's live aero prune or chard has cost (for thu land, tiees, taxes, Irrigation, etc.) exactly $.'111, 45 au aero up to July hut. Thu or chard was planted In 1881, and this 1 the tecond crop, Tho gross re ceipts from tiu propel ty thus far have becu $837 per acre, Iu other words, thu orchard has mom than paid for itself already, and Is now yielding u crop tjuit Is worth over $300 an acre every jear. In our humble estimation such a pletv of property Is worth not les than $1500 an acre, Jl yields u crop Rep resenting ten per cent iiunuul inter est ou $3000 au iiciu. This will glvo Investlgtilors of prune growing for p roll I souio .lea of the yield per acre. KHUIT OltOWi.SU ,v tlUNKIl.VI.. The Dayton Herald has (he fol lowing article on fiult: "Mr, A. L, Aldt'inian, of (his place, realized $1000 from thu silo of this fruit in his orchard, uud was ut no trouble or expense In gathering the fruit, having sold It to Snyder Bon, of this city, for the above men,- P,Ue su.ui, tue letter gentlemen to gather tho fruit. What business will return a greater profit on the labor and Investment made? Had Mr. Alderman left his orchard go uncarcd for, as there aro thousands who do In Oregon (aud then say that It does not pay to raise fruit) he would hnvo realized but a small re turn from the sale of fruit, and the result would have been unsatisfac tory. Somo will say, oh, yes, fruit rais ing will pay well for awhile, per haps, but the market will soon be glutted, by everybody going into the business. Everybody is not going Into the business. It Is like all other business, some are adapted to it and others are not; those who are not adapted to fruit raising will soon giye it up. How has It been in Cal ifornia? Thousands and thousands of acres have been set to fruit, and the result has been that thousands of den and women (the field is open to women as well as men) have made fortunes in fruit ralslug. Yet you hear men say that the business is not profitable and will "play out" iu that state. In the meantime thousands of wide awake, energetic fruit raisers are coining money there. Not by sitting around whittling dry goods boxes, etc., with a jack-knife, and Indulging in gossip about pelgbbors, but properly using and developing the intellect and muscle that God has given them for that purpose. MORE FACTS OS THE PRUNE. As we have stated before, this country is especially ndapted for Iruit raising, aud It has been derr. onstiated by tht- demand for fruit this season and the prices paid here that it does pay to raise fruit, aud pays well right here at home. Sny der & Son, the well known Dayton fruit dealers, have shipped immense quuuitles of fruit this season. Jones & Kramier, Dayton fruit dealers, huve also shipped and dried a large amount of fruit. We call attention to the above facts to show that It would be a great advantage aud profitable to land-holders to divide a part of their land into five, ten, or twenty acre fruit farms. It would result iu great good to the whole country. We would ask the care ful consideration and investigation of all to the profits of the fruit in dustry In Oregon. If you visit Sa lem Btep into the fruit cannery aud evaporator, where men of capital hare invested money, and see the scene of life aud activity presented there, and Inquire as to the profits. Also visit Clark's prune orchard and inquire of the proprietor If his in vestment has not been a paying one. Also note the large orchard ou this lde of the Willamette river in Polk county, belonging to H. S. Wallace, the Salem banker. can bo made In ton years from a fruit ranch of eighty acres or even forty acres, mostly by anybody blessed with that amount of good land. I Will demonstrate how any enterprising man witli a very limit ed capital can also make himself and family very comfortablo and even rich with ten acres of bottom land If planted in French prunes or Petito prunes d' Orgen, which is the same thing. Tlie trees must bo grafted or bud ded on plum stock and bo ti to or two years old I prefer one-year-old trees. They must bo planted about twenty feet apart, so it will tako 100 trees per acre. Good trees ought to be had for 20 cents a piece, or by tho thousand for 15 cents. The holes mu9t be dug from two to three feet square, according to quality of the soil. The fourth season after planting and even tho third, if your trees have been well taken care of, you will obtain about ten pounds of prunes to each trees, enough to ini tiate yourself luto the drying busi ness. The fifth year you will get about sixty pounds to each tree; the sixth year, 120 pounds or more to the tree. After that your trees are in full bearing, producing according to location and care, 150 to 300 pounds to the tree. Now let us consider the cost and profits.

Last week the writer visited several prune orchards in the vicinity of Myrtle Creek, aud taking the state ment of one proprietor as an average gives the fallowing facts: Harvesting and dryiug the crop waB iu progress. Petite prunes were drying 100 pounds per tree 145 trees to the acre, gives 145,000 pounds, which sold in carloads packed In grain sack briug 10 cents per pound or $1450 per acre. Italian, German and other large varieties wereyleldlug more weight of dried fruit to the acre but were sold for 8 cents per pound. Making full the same net profit. Two years ago these same trees now ten years old, yielded nioro fruit because of more moisture iu the land; but this year the fruit is larger and contains more sugar. Samples of these prunes, some of them as largo ai goose eggs, from tho orchard of II. A. Adams, Myrtle Creek, can be seen at this ofllce. Why don't farmers engage more extensively Iu this industry? Ten acres planted In fruit will ycld more profit than 100 acres of wheat. Dairying carried on in conjunction with the above Increases the profits and render them more certain, MONEY IN FRUIT. The following remarkable state ments of the output of the 12,000 acres comprised iu the Vuca valley, aregiveu by the Enterprise: Dur ing the month of August there were shipped to Eastern poluts 155 car loads of green fruits, aud twenty o,o carloads of dry fruit. To Ban Frunolnoo and other poluts there were shipped 155 carloads, making a total for the mouth of 331 carloads, aggregating In total weight 5,044, 225 pounds. This is considered a re markable showing, owing to the large number of trees it was claimed1 were dead iu the early part of tho season. Nn less rumarkahlo than this Is the returns of fiult sales from all points us furnished by the bank of Vucavllle, which, up to the close of business yesterday, aggregated $460,238.83, uu excess of $50,000 over the net returns of th,u entire seasou last yeaart fOV OfF tiAVIMQ OUT ANP, CULTI VAT1.NO A, 1'IIUNK ORCHARD, A correspondent says; A for(uue side when I say that each tree will bring you $5 net each year, or .. 5000 It does not take much perception to see that thus, on an outlay of not a dollar more than $2900, a. person can have an easy income of $5000 annually in ten years' time. I do not know of any better or easier way pfjinsurlug a larger Income than this. I have made these figures with care aud prudence on the basis of rluanclal results from the prolits of my own four-acre prune orchard.
