An Industry That Pays In
Benton County.
HOW, WHAT AND WHEN
TO PLANT.
Experiences of Local 'Growers
and Hints from Horticulturists
of Note. Throughout the Staet
of Oregon.

Adequate. remuneration, for the
labor and capital invested by our
farmers, is a subject which has re.
ceived no small amount of consid-
Grafton from our business men
and the thinking public generally
during the .pasJ few years, and
their verdict asswell as the expe-
rience of many who have given
the matter their personal atten-
ton. is that fruit raising is the
most profitable, industry in which
to engage.
The agriculturalist can devote a
portion of his time and income to
horticulture, without any apparent
loss in the. PRODUCTION of cerials
and few acres planted to fruit
each year and will cost but little,
and will add materially to the
value of Che place, while the in
come derived from this source will
i'm few years exceed in value the
entire returns from all other
sources. That this is true is en-
dorsed by the contents of letter
from Mr.. HI. 7. Bristow, foreman
of the Belfountaine orchard in the
southern part of the county, in
which he gives few thoughts
from his experience on
CULTIVATION AND PRUNING.
l am working the Belfountaine
orchard of one hundred and fifty
five acres, which contains about
eighteen thousand trees, two and
three years old, and in addition to
this l Keep cows, sheep, horses,
hogs, chickens and turkeys, and
raise my own grain, hay and gar
den stuff that is used on the place,
and can say that horticulture on
a reasonablyssnall scale would not
conflict materially with agricul-
ture.
Amy farmer with the necessary
tools for successful agriculture can
cultivate and8ake care of his or
chard without any additional ex-
pense, so far as machinery is con-
cerned, and - orchard work will
come mainl - he is not en-
ployed with i crops, except
the haying season, which will come
about the time he should be fin
ishing his orchard work.
l will say that the average
farmer, in addition to his regular
farm work, could cultivate twenty
acres of orchard or about two
thousand or twenty-five hundred
trees, and do 1t with very little
additional expense except his own
labor, and as to the pruning that
can be done during the winter
months, and never in the spring
after the saps starts, as it will
cause the new growth to be
brushy, and / think the June
pruning as advocated by some is
not practicable, and to satisfy my
self have cut back in the most
vigorous growing season, about the

middle of June, and found that
trees standing all around them
grew much more thrifty and were
not inclined to be so brushy.
AS to the actual cost of cult
| waiting it would be rather difficult
to estimate, unless man was EN-
gagged exclusively in horticulture,
but think one man and his team
will plow and cultivate fifty acres
if he is not otherwise employed.
The pruning of the first years
growth is a small matter, and a
man will prune from five hundred
to thousand trees per day, but
the work will increase two fold

THE PRUNE. 4,
The name "prune' is derived
from the Latin prunum, plum,
and its generally accepted sense is
applied to those special varieties
of the plum family that possess
exceptional curing qualities, of
firm texture and easily dried
whole, artifcially or in the sun,
without fermenting at the pit.
These varieties constitute the
prune of commerce. In the mat
ter of soil, climate and manner Of
cultivation there is little difference
in the propagation Of the various
members of the plum family and
the treatment applied to one is
usually applicable to all.
Theophastus says the prune was
cultivated in Asia Minor in
most remote ages, and it's cultiva-
ton by the Romans is spoken of
by Pliny, who makes mention of
eleven varieties proceeding from
the domestic prune introduced into
Italy by Canton, the ancient.
Near Damascus it grew without
cultivation, and the Black Damas-
Gus, rustic and very vigorous va
riety is considerably used by the
nurserymen of Europe as subject
for grating all other varieties.
To the crusaders,is attributed the
introduction of the prune into
France.
SOIL AND CLIMATE.
S. A. Clarke, of Salem, writing
on the subject of Oregon's climate
and soil in connection with the
prune industry, says: ''It is nei-
ther expedlent nor necessary to
disparage any other land to do
justice to our own region, but we
possess advantages that need not
be ignored, that are decidedly in
our favor. While California is
famous for her fruits, and while
her orchards and vineyards are
more than compensating for the
exhaustion of her gold fields, much
of the soil OF her large valleys is
shallow and of little value. The
select valleys and foothills offer
great inducements, though irriga-
ton is necessary, and cannot secure
the most choice texture and flavor
of fruits. Even in the most
favored districts, conditions do not
permit of the high excellence that
can be attained in the western
valleys and foothills of the North
Pac fc, where basaltic soils are the
basis, and where abundant rains
# the winter, that have secured
for us the humorous name of
Webfoot, give certainty of moist
ure all through the seasons-some-
times dry for six months-without
the need of irrigation, even on
the highest hills. Basaltic soils
| prevail where in Europe the best

are given trial only to be cast
aside for the old stand-bys.
81 obtained a few of the va
rieties that had ranked the
highest at the experiment sta
ton and planted them out.
They were Wilson, Haverland,
Warfeld, Bo1nba and Michel's
Early. The result obtained
from these and from experience
elsewhere I can state in a few
words:
Wilson. - This is the best
! known and most popular variety
grown in the Willamette valley.
1t is a good producer; berries
of medium size and excellent
quality. Probably the best for
canning and preserving.
Haverland. Enormous yield;
easily out-classes the others; ber-
ries large, but inclined to be soft.
A good variety for the home
market, but not a good shipper.
Warfeld.-Is grown largely in
the eastern states: yields moder-
ately well; berries of medium
size and of good flavor. It is
said to be a good shipper. ..-.
Bomba.-Is a standard variety.
MichePs Early.-Is renarka-
bly, early sort; at its best when the
others are commencing to ripen;
yield small, about one-half that
of Haverland." ......
VARIETIES TO PLANT. .-.
After having decided to plant
an orchard the first question that
presents itself is, what varieties to
plant. Prof. Coote answers this
question with the following list:
WINTER APPLES. .r.- -.
The varieties of winter apples
best suited for shipment are Ben
Davis, White Winter Pearmain,
Yellow Newton Pippin, Spitzen-
berg, Golden Russell and Bald
win.
PRUNES.
Italian and Petite French.
FALL PEARS.
The Bartlett is a favorite va
riety, both for canning and local
customers, as we'll as for ship
ping. Beurre Clairgean is highly
favored and is also valuable for
market, as it bears transportation
we'll. Duchess and Angonleme
may be added, and also the
Seckel.
WINTER PEARS.
Varieties for winter shipment
should contain the Easter Beurre
and Winter Nellis. The former
will keep until March, while
the Winter Nellis may be ship
ped during the month of Decem-
Der and through January.
CHERRIES.
The cherry is produced in
great perfection here and in size
and beauty they cannot be ex-
celled. The varieties best suited
for shipment are few, the Royal
Ann and Black Republican be-
ing the best for this purpose. All
varieties do we'll here, but are
not suited for long transportation.
GRAPES.
The varieties proved to be
we'll adapted for this location are
the Green Mountain, for early
use, the Warden, Concord,
Moor's Diamond, Niagara Faith,
Improved Delaware.
GoOSEBERRIES.
Those that have proved them
selves to be well adopted for gen
eral cultivation here are Oregon
Champion, which, although not
OF extra size, is very productive
and has never been affected with
mildew, and the Industry, which
is quite large fruit and has
been found to be mildew proof
so far. There are great many
other varieties that have some.
good qualities in some seasons,
but cannot be relied upon, as
they are subject to the attacks Of
the mi1dew.
