Greeks varied as much as we do in
their noses, while the tradition Of their

FruitgrOwing at White Salmon.


All kinds of temperate zone fruits do
well here. The climatic conditions are
right for the highest attainments. IN
fruit growth Every kind OF fruit does
well and sells well. An acre in straw
berries will bring $3.50 net above every
expense. Good apples sell for $3.50 to
$2.25 per box. Sixty trees to the acre,
six wears old, would bear five boxes to
the tree and would bring the owner the
sum of $3.50 per annum. Apples dc
well on the high mountain lands IN me
region of White Salmon. Apples oil all
kinds. Crawford and Salway peaches,
pears, prunes, plums, cherries and
ounces grow to perfection. And then
come the grapes that are grown by the
ton. And strawberries are shippec

berries on the market in the world.

Hood River Plants $4,000 Trees.

AOilihA CANbCAAhAAs
The orchardists Of Hood River valley
have not yet as many apple trees or
apples as they want, judging from the
statement OF E l.. Smith, who says that
already over $4,000 yearling trees have
been ordered from various nurserymen,
in the Willamette valley principally, for
planting out in the spring.
A large amount Of work is heing done
in the way OF clearing land to be planted
to apples,as may be known from the fact
that a carload OF stump pullers is en-
route from the East to be used in this
work. The car contains 20 machines, Is
OF which are two-horse machines, weigh
ing | 200 pounds each, and the other
! two, one-horse machines. The trees to
be removed are principally grub oaks
and oaks, some two feet IN diameter and
and some pine and fir. As to the var
ieties to be planted Mr.. Smith says over
nine-tenths OF the $4,000 include
only three varieties, yellow Newtow,s $,
| Sptzenburgs and Jonathans, the latter
a Seeding from the Spitzenburg, and as
may be imagined, very choice fruit.
| All orchardlsts agree that there are
too many varieties of apples in cultiva-
tion, many OF which are OF inferior quail
ity to others, but the trouble is that
there are so many good ones it is diff
cult to conclude which is the best. The
list must, however, be thinned out, as
new varieties are constantly being origi.
mated, and there is no telling what the
apple may come TO in few years.

"Pipe" Dream From Portland.


A prospective fruit grower who has
been looking over the Hood River or
chards, takes exception to the statement
OF T.. l.. Smith, OF that place, published
a few days ago to the effect that irriga-
ton is used in only three or four places
in Hood River valley. The visitor says
the water is laid on through pipes in
most ofthe tracts in the valley and the
pipes are constantly being extended.
This is explained by the fact that the
water is used in most cases for irrigating
strawberry plats and in very few cases
for irrigating orchards. The cultivation
of orchards is found to conserve the
moisture of the ground, which is all
that is necessary as a general thing to
produce perfect apples of good keeping
quality. AS there were no less than 100
carloads of strawberries shipped from
Hood River berry patches last season, it
was found desirable to irrigate many OF
these patches in order to give the best
results, and as water is so plentiful and
the necessary pressure for distribution
so easily obtained, system of pipes is
being gradually laid throughout the val

| ley are irrigated to some extent as, Tor
instance, that of Sears & Porter, in
which 224 acres yielded this season 1900
boxes of second grade apples. Trees
bearing such crop may well be excused
for being thirsty occasionally.
1.-THE newcomer who presumed to
critizise the statements of E. l.. Smith
on apple growing in Hood River put
himself and the Oregonian reporter
who permitted himself to be bored in
most ridiculous light. For informa
ton of those who don't know, it may
be said that few Hood River orchards
are irrigated, but no one thinks o
growing berries without. water. IL
