CROP NEXT YEAR 400 TONS Splendid Illustration of What Well Directed Energy and Enterprise Can Accomplish. Tew Salem people realize the extent to which the country near it is boinfj developed, how fast meadow and grain field are being turned into orchard and berry fauns. In company with L. II. Huberts and in his big touring car, one of the Capital Journal staff visited '.lie big farm owned by the Sunset Fruit Company, of which Mr. Rob-.-rts Is the head and front. The farm is on the Garden Road, about four miles north east of the city, and as we slid alm.j over the smooth roads, the improve ments made in all directions were such that tho places wore hardly recogniza ble. Old orchards, that for years have not raided much of anything except worms, bugs and fruit pests generally; that were run down and practically abandoned, have had their whiskers trimmed, thoir hair cut; have been giv en a shower bath, and had their clothes brushed, and aro scarcely recognizable. Tields where Indian pinks, a mngnifi ent crop showing the richness of the soil, were in full chafge, or were fight ing it out with the dog fennel for pos session are a-bloom with clover or an emerald sea of wheat or oats billowing beneath the gentle west winds. At the Sunset fnrm there was still further evl- lence of tho extent of this develop-1 anent. Where two years ago pink and. ,log fennel grew in riotous profusion at first glance one would think a crop of ! two hundred miles of vine wreathed I fence posts had been grown. Over 80 acres, these posts stood planted two feet in the ground and about 320 of them to Tho rortlnnd, Kugmie & Eastern rail- .the acre, and on these wero strung road company has installed a new train heavy wires, regular three strand wiro service on its Salem, Independence, Dal fences, Bet about eight feet apart and hi", Falls City and Black Hock lino, and running in parallel lines across the big hereafter there will be five trains a day field. To an easterner it would look as j leaving this city, though some oue had gone fence iriad, Trains will leave Salem as follows: but these posts and wires were but the 6:54 and 10:04 a. m., and 1:54, 3:39, and nkeleton, waiting for their flesh in the 0:29 p. m. The 3:39 train switches off shape of loganberry vines, already the main line at tho 8. P. crossing on growing beneath them, and which next the west side and, after going to Indc year will cover them with festoons of peudence, returns to the Salem-Dallas verdure, with nearly 200 miles of emor- line and goes to Dallas and other points, aid wreath and snowy blossom, and lat-.The fare from Salem to Dallas and r with the big, juicy, red-browu ber-' towns beyond remains the same not Ties.
