NeWhall ON AppIe Deal.

Benjamin Newhall, of Chicago, well
known as an expert on apples, when
ssked for an opinion the season just
ending and the coming deal, had the
following to say to the Packer "The
wind up of the season l905-l9O6 in ap-
pies has been, in the main, satisfying
to the trade. Some bad spots there
have been, but they we're not serious,
nor many.
IA few have lost money, not many
a few have broken even; good many
have made fair profit, and a few a
comparatively heavy one.
Probably the deal has made an av.
erage of 20 per cent profit on the
money invested.
"Ehe 1905 crop went into storage at
IL high price the highest since 1901
and there were some periods when the
heavy holders scarcely dared face the
music, and tried to forget the cost OF
their goods and the prospects for
their sale.
"What is before us for this season.
The crop guesseIs are busy. You can
take your choice of estimates of this
crop from 80 per cent over last years
small total to 100 pei cent more than
the former biggest crop in 1896
at is early yet. There Is time for
bitter rot, drought and storms On
the other hand quality, healthy ap.
pearance OF the foliage, and favorable
weather at blooming time may make a
cIop of baIreling apples larger than
the largest estimate that has yet been
made, and the man who can foretel il
oorrectly-well, we want him on our
staff at $4,000 per year, and no ques
tions asked, ~

Southern Oregon Fruit.

q. A. Hover, of Phoenix, a promi-
nent fruit grower residing in the
heart OF the Rogue River fruit distI let
said to the Oregonian:
"There will be an extra heavy crop
of pears. OF the newer varieties, the
Buerre Bose and Du Comici will bear
perhaps the heaviest yield known to
growers, but the D'Anjous will be a
light crop. Winter Nellies, Bartletts
and other common varieties, are the
finest crop we have ever known. The
trees are not heavy laden, but the
quality and size of tho fruit is unex.
celled.
"Prunes will be a good crop--much
above the average. The trees are well
loaded and the fruit is Of fine size and
quality.
Peaches are very light crop.
I1ale's Early, Early Alexanders and
other extra early varieties will be fair
ly good yield, but Crawfords, Muirs
and other staple varieties will not pro,
due over one-fourth of an average
crop.
Among apple varieties, Newtowns
will be good crop, but Spitzenbergs,
Ben Davis and practically all Other
varieties will be very light crop.
The apples shipped from Southern
Oregon orchards this Fall will be
nearly all Newtowns.
"The berry crop has been good,
but the season was short, owing to
the EXTREMITY hot weather OF week be-
fore last. The hay crop is the heavi-
est ever known In the valley, but as
much what was cut for hay, the grain
yield will be light.

ian wellsY' he asked. "They are 60

"Real estate is rapidly changing
hands. The J. Hartley place, south
of Medford, consisting of 282 acres,
recently sold for 80, 900, and other
smller tracts have changed hands at
good figures. "
Mr.. Hover bought ten acres OF
