Tho tremendous effect this pro

in tho indopondont or that city, wrote
on March 12, as follows;
"Anmti'tii' OlifervntloiiH on Pacific

In favored 'localities of limited nroas
and in oasls-llko spots in the Wil
lamette valloy, the applo has again
como into favor. Its bid for royal
favor at thp courts of London, Ror
Hn and St. Petersburg, not to men
tion New York and other centers, has
crowned tho Oregon applo king. The
favor with whjoh Orogon apploa
woro received has been the means
of securing large returns to tho Ore
gon grower. The 190C orop brought
tho growers 11.50 to $2 por bushof
box f. o. b. Tho eastern and Euro
pean consumers paid $3 to ?r per
bushel box, or five to fifteen cents
apleco retail for Oregon apples.
About tho saino results were ob
tained in 1907. Tho Wallace or
ohard near Salem sold 16,000 bushel
boxes at $1.60 per box In tho or
chard In 1906. This was off 45 acros.
Nothing but otitis can bo bought for
lass than one dollar at any time.
Even cider apples brought $8 to $10
per ton and the cannery bought low
grades, windfalls, and euob as havo
bleralshos on the outalde at $10 to
$12.50 per ton.
Pears do well In the Rogue and
Willamette valleys. Cornice pears
solds for $7 to $8 per bushol box in I
Now York last fall. Tho Wallace
orobard had a ear of Cornice pears
bring over $4000. Tholr returns
from 70 acres pears In 1907 were
$15,000.
Tho Willamette valley Is the chief
grower of sweet cherries. Kentish,
Early Richmond and other sour
cherries of tho east aro raised to
somo extent for family uso, but aro
not profitable. They are known ns
plo cherries and are sometimes used
to feed birds to kedp them away
