Oregon Crop This Year Runs
Into Seven figures.
EASTERN DEMAND A FACTOR

lion Dollar Mark Settlers Are Being
Attracted.

PORTLAND, Nov. ll.--On the basis
Of reports from county inspectors, the
value of Oregon's fruit crop this year
is officially estimated at $4275,lS5. This
figure. far in excess Of any previous
year, is based on amounts actually re-
ceiyed by growers. and represents an
increase OF 50 per cent over the fruit
crop valuation Of last year.
10 the high prices now paid for 0reg-
on fruits is partly due the increase in
this years total but the larger acreage
set out in orchards in response to east
em demand Is also factor. The heavy
paintings of the last few years are be-
ginning to bear, and the further increase
in the value Of the crop will probably
be very rapid in the future.
According to the President Of the
State Board Of Horticulture, the sue
cess with which Oregon growers are
meeting awithin a short time make
fruit growing the greatest Of wealth in
the State"
The apple crop forms the largest item
in the list with a total value Of ST.
49,.
$4,000, Prunes paid Oregon growers
this year $l,59o,e25; pears, peaches, and
cherries all in excess Of $230,0OO and
strawberries over 100000. Oregon pears
this year have sold at wholesale in the
East at ten cents apiece, Hood River
apples as high as $s.75 a box. At these
prices, with cheap land, good tansporta-
tion and steady market, Oregon is at.
racting settlers and prospective fruit
growers from all sections Of the country.

AMERICAN TOBACCO CROP
Production Is Assuming an Increased
 Importance

The American tobacco crop has with in the past few years assumed greatly increased importance. Quality as well as the quantity has improved. The farmers in some parts of the south, where this crop has been taken up, are making money beyond their fondest dreams in the cultivation of tobacco, and it is said that the unusual sight has been witnessed there of the agents of the large manufacturing companies practically on their knees begging for few bales of tobacco.
 In southern Georgia the value of land suited for tobacco growing has in creased in value tenfold, and towns which were insignificant few years ago are now important shopping cen ters. One place in Georgia, which it would be difficult to find on the map, enjoyed the distinction of having shipped on million dollars worth of leaf in the course of one year. The Florida crop, it is stated, could have been sold twice over. The latest fig ures to be had show that the value of the tobacco crop in this country annu- ally is placed at little more than $25,- 000,000.
