tho development nnd founding tho
enterprtao herenbouf, una initn,
tacked by works. Is tho koj'noto of
advancement.
Marlon county holds tho key to a
grand agricultural empire a section
with tho founding of a young, strong,
jobust vitality, and whoso farms
yield small fortunes In a slnglo year.
Indeed tho county has a mossago to
the world, and In tho story of pros
perity of this pleasant land Inhabited
by pleasant peoplo wo aro ploused to
Incorporato tho following budgot of
facts:
Twcnty-Avo ratios south from Port
land Is tho north lino of Marlon
county, which has a frontngo of over
forty miles on tho Wlllnmotto rlvor,
and sits In tho heart of tho most for
tllo portion of tho groat Wlllamotto
Taller.
Tho county Is not only tho poor of
any county In tho groat stato of Oro
gon, a section boundless In IU varied
resources, but easily stnnds nt tho
head In tho products of hor sail,
salubrious cllmntlo condition, su
perior transportation facilities, nnd
In comparison with most sections of
the northwest, tho cheapness of hor
lands.
It li possessed of a rich productive
soil, cnpablo of high cultivation, of
an excellent climate, of nn abundant
water supply, nnd of tho stendy cash
market afforded by Salem's growing
pojJatlon. Add to thoso nn Intelli
gent, Industrious nnd ontorprlslng
population, and tho sccrot of tho
prosuerlty of Marlon county Is at
onco apparont. It Is a region of.
cosy, attructlvo nnd ovon olegnnt
homes, where nil tho graces of llfo
uourlih nnd whoro Industry and .cul
ture comblno to produco tholr most
charming effects.
Our Wotltli In Hop.
Marlon county has tho undisputed
dlittnctlon of being the greatest hop
producing iwtlou In the world. Tho
soli of the county Is especlnlly ndapt
ed to thl Industry, which Is fully
demonstrated by the fact that u fail
ure la unknown In this county.
One of the crowning foaturos of
this line of Industry Is that quick re
turns are received. A yard planted
In the fall will produco n small crop
the next season, and the second soa
son will be in full bearing. Many of
the fields average over 1,200 pounds
to the nere your after yonr, whlc'i
at 25 cents iter pound means $300
per acre. Deducting 8 cents per
pound, or $0G per acre tho outsldo
cost of nrodurtlon -Imvob a not per
aero of 1204 Land sultnblo for hop
growing can be bought from $25 to
$100, the average price bolng about
$50. This Is a very consorvntlvo os
tlmate, as a net profit of $500 an
acre Is not uncommon.
Hop-growers find no difficulty in
finding a market; on tho contrary,
tho buyers are continually soliciting
their crop, nnd tho growor need not
lavo his home to find a purchaser so
lwge Is the demand.
Of all the various Industries of
Marlon county, nono can approach
tho hop Industry. Tho work Is light,
Pleasant and very healthful, and
"y Person of Industrious habits,
coupled with honesty, cannot raaka a
failure by engaging in tho business
raising hops in Marlon county,
Oregon.
