WALLACE FRUIT FARMss
Demonstrates the Fact That VIII
lamette Valley Fruit Farm Is Sec
Ond to None in the World.

One time a man in charge of a
collection of Hood River apples back
east at one of the big international
expositions, had difficulty in keeping
the spectators from believing that
his exhibit was not a collection of
wax work. the fruit was so perfect
in shape and color and so desirable
in size.
1t was the real product of Wasco
county and today the Hood River
apple has an international reputa-
ton. 1t deserves it.
Great Britain levies a small tariff
tax on apples. One day the late
queen, Victoria (peace to her ashes)
was shown some apples of such
splendid flavor, beautiful appearance
and uniform size, that she at once
asked where they grew. She was
told the fruit was the product of
the mountains of Virginia, in fact
the apples were the famous Abe
marie pippins. The queen ordered
that from that time on, the Abe
marie pippin be admitted to England
free of tariff duty.
Since then the Albemarle pippin
has been favorably known all over
the world. The Albemarle pippin
deserves this fame.
Old Missouri comes in for a good
deal of apple glory, and deserves it
too. Iowa grows some fine fruit
There are no flies on New York
state, and all over the west; in Colo
rado, in Idaho, in Utah and in some
of the counties of California apples
flourish like the proverbial green
bay tree.
Where We Shine.
But there is nowhere in the wide,
wide world that the fruit Eve used
to beguile Adam after the snake had
got in his treacherous work on her,
grows to be nearer perfect than in
the rich bottoms and on the low ly-
ing foothills of the Willamette val
ley. It's Marion and Polk counties
against the world.
When Ed. Flagg was in Salem
during the fair, he said that Colum-
bia county could produce as good
apples as Wasco. and he proved it.
He might have gone a step further
and said that Clackamas-good old
historic old Clackamas. could rival
Columbia and that Marion and Polk
could take the cake.
Been Coming Too Easy.
The truth of the matter is. things
have been. coming too easy for the
people in these favored parts of the
moral vineyard. In pioneer days, all
a man had to do to make living In
the Willamette valley was to ask |
for, and get, a donation land claim
and turn his cattle into the tall |
grass. God and the cattle did the |
rest. The pioneer was not even put /
to the trouble of pressing the but
ton.

The Apples.

Only two varieties of apples are
grown on the Wallace farm, the
Spitzenburg and the Baldwin.
There are few red checked pippins
grown for pollenizing purposes.
The apple picking has not begun
yet but it is estimated that there
will be from $4,000 to 200 boxes
in the crop and these will bring in
the market considerably more than
a dollar a box.
After the Moth.
Yesterday when a reporter from
The Capital Journal visited the farm
he found colony of Japs in the
apple orchard on their knees around
the roots of the apple trees. A con-
versation something like this hap
pened:
What youse fellows doing on
your prayer bones?"
"Ketchee womm."
What kind of worms?"
Goblin bugs; see!" And the Jap
held up moth on a steel weapon
that resembled a musicians tuning
fork.
Building Bigger Barns.
Although it has been generally
considered that the barns and pack
ing houses on this place were ample.
1t was ascertained this year that the
crop could be moved with more ia
cilty if there was more room in the
packing houses. and the manage
ment is having the packing house
capacity more than doubled. These
additions will be completed before
the work of picking and packing APP
pies begins.
Since the unfortunate death of the
late Professor McElfresh there has
been no foreman on the farm, but
the management has been vested in
the hands of the administrator of
the Wallace estate.
However, the active work of man
aging the picking and packing the
fruit is being ably looked after by
Mr.. E. c. Armstrong.
The BY Products.
A word for "the gentleman who
pays the rint."
AS has been before mentioned one
Of the chief by products is swine.
No one on the farm knows how many
hogs are on the place, but the woods
are full of them. The place is lit
orally alive with hogs. These ami
mails are allowed to run all over the
place and live and fatten on the
fruit that falls from the trees, and
late in the fall are grain fed for
short time, and then are sold to the
slaughter houses. Thousands and
thousands of dollars worth of hogs
are sold from the place each year.
It is one of the big things for the
arm. The hogs are good stock and
IF the Poland China breed and they
hrive although no one pays any at
ention to them.
One Of Many.

ected for this preachment, not be-
,ause IL is any better or any more

sons the fruit industry in the Will
lamette valley is comparatively new,
1t is true that splendid fruit has to
some extent been raised in a small
quantities for a long time but it is
only quite recently that men have
gone into the growing of fruit to
make money.
Tire Wallace Fruit Farm.
The Wallace fruit farm, four
miles from Salem, on the William
cite river, on the Polk county side,
midway between the picturesque
Polk county hills and the broad
waters of the Beautiful William
ette,' is a living and shining testi-
monial that the foregoing state
ments are true.
The Wallace fruit farm is one of
the places where they raise fruit.
This beautiful and productive
farm is one of the most ideal and de-
lightful spots in all Oregon. The
farm consists of several hundred
acres of some of the best land in
the world and large percentage of
1t is in fruit trees. The only fruits
grown for commercial purposes are
apples and pears. OF course there
are the usual by products and on
this farm. the chief of these is
hogs.
The Farm Itself.
AS has been said this farm is one
of the most beautiful spots in the
state. About half of It Is the richest
of river bottom land and will pro-
duce anything that will grow in the
temperate zone. There is no finer
garden land in the world. In fact
most of the land that is set to fruit
trees is too valuable even for fruit.
The other half of the farm consists
OF undulating hills and is ideal fruit
land. On the hill land the dwelling.
a pretty bungalow, is situated. Just
below the dwelling, and in the direc-
tion of the river is beautiful ma
tural lake and there are patches of
timber scattered about in different
parts of the farm.
The Practical Part.
Most of the pears grown are of the
Bartlett variety. This is the staple
crop. The other and later varieties
are the Buerre Claigau, the Buerre
Bose. the Duchess, the Comice and
the Fall Butter.
Three hundred tons of Bartletts
have already been saved this year.
The average price per ton this year
was SIC. but 1t is generally under
stood that about $40 was paid for
the product of this farm.
The later varieties of pears are al
ready nearly picked, too, but most
of the Comice crop is on the trees
yet.
The later varieties are not sold
by the ton as they do not go to the
cannery but by the box. The late
varieties on the farm will yield
about 5000 orchard boxes.
