"The Apple In Oregon" We clip th'
following extracts:
Early History.
The history and development o.
apple culture in Oregon is unique
The story of the peculiar, almost
romantic. conditions under which
this fruit was introduced into the
state by the pioneers; the eagernesa
with which the first settlers planted
apple trees, and the fabulous prices
for which the first fruit sold sounds
today more like a tale Of the days of
chivalry. than a sketch Of times in
Oregon fifty years ago. Though the
story mas been told over and over, It
will be well worth recitlng again in
connection with this brief study Of
"the apple in Oregon"
In Iowa In the spring Of 1S47 Hen
derson Luelling planted a few score
OF yearllng grated apple trees in
boxes along with other small trees of
plum. cherry, pear peach, and cut
tlngs OF grapes and bush fruits. In
the early summer these boxes were
lifted, placed in a wagon. and in iue
time-slx months-reached Oregon
Throughout the long and hazardous
journey made with OK team, Mr..
Luelllng guarded with an ever in
creasing attachment these few hun.
drej struggling plants, destined to be
the basis of great fruit industry in
the new west.
The first orchard Of grated fruit in
Oregon was planted that fall on a
piece OF freshly cleared land near
Milwaukee. Thus began the orchard |
Industry In Oregon. These trees and
plants, brought across the plains at
a measureless cost, in trails and
hardshlps, to the owner fourished
In their new home; and in the years
following returned--"a dollar drop
for the sweat / lost in getting the
necessary water to keep them alive
while we crossed the desert; and
their luscious fruit repaid me many
times over for the jeers. rijicule and
contentious OF my comrades"
II Is said that In few of the
most difficult part OF the trail some
Of the party insisted upon throwing
away the heavy boxes OF trees In or
der TO tighten the load At such
times only the evident disposition to
light. on the part of Mr. Luelling, II
saved them.
Mr.. William Meek, a fellow travel.
Ter with Mr. Luelling brought a sack /
OF apple seed from the same region. {
aud the following spring Us4S) the =
two formed a partnership and estab. a
lished the first nursery in Oregon s
alongside the nrst orchard of grated d
fruit.
ut is related that the FIRST big c
red apple produced by Oregon soil n
was born upon q one year old root. 4

fan OF lsAs, 90 and SO great was the z
fame OF It, and such the curiosity of O
the people. that men, women and J
children came from miles around to n
see IT, and made hard beaten track
through the nursery to this joyous a
reminder OF the old homestead so far
away.
The first orchards OF notable size v
were planted In the Waldo Hills. ON b
