]. L. Wendorf of Underwood, Wash,
was in town Saturday. He reports that
the forest fires have done no material
damage in his section. The settlers of
Underwood contemplate getting out an
irrigating ditch. They can grow straw
berries without water, and have been
dofAg so for years, but they know that
with water they can grow more of them
and have their clover fields also. With
an irrigating ditch supplying the Under
wood settlement, land would rapidly in
crease in value and the large holdings
would be divided up to give room for
more settlers. The Wendorf brothers
intend going largely into the cultivation
OF peaches. Peaches grown at Under
wood are of good size, rich color and fine
flavor Strawberries have been grown
on the WendOrf place, without irriga-
tion, actually too large for shipment.
The Clark's Seeding, when grown too
large, is an ill-shaped berry, and often
too soft for shipment.
