THE APPLE AS AN ASSET IN pvu.
DUCING LAND VALUEs

The city OF Medford stands I'm tho
midst of an orchard region of forty
thousand acres.
That amount of land is planted al
most entirely to apples and pears and
Is WORTH FROM $500 10 S,5O0
PER ACRE.
Medford is I'm the midst of b,dv
OF orchards worth at low estimate
five hundred dollars per acre.
That means that the orchards bavo
market value Of twenty millions of
dollars, TO SAY NOTHING OF THIN
CROPS.
lt has been demonstrated chat the
soil and climate of the Willamette
valley will produce Just as fine pears
and apples as any part OF Oregon.
The Spitzenbergs and Baldwlns
grown here are equal to the FINEST
APPLES PRODUCED AT HOOD
RIVER OR ROGUE RIVER.
This has been proven by the fact
that Willamette valley apples and es-
pecially those about Salem. have
been sold by dealers from those
places.
Hence Salem can be made the cen
ter of great apple industry. This
cannot be successfully DENIED by
ANY PRACTICAL B.sINESS MAN.
II Is high time we were waking up
to the possibilities of the apple as a
wealth producer for this section

The present output Of wheat. ore

product Is approximately 2G,O00,0O0
"a crop below average.
The average figures are about 35.-
600, 1000 bushels-which Is equivalent
to saying that the wheat crop Of this
state is worth about $4,000 900 per
annum. The value OF ore is proble-
matical, but Il runs into a few mil

It's product is valued
at about SS5 100000 annually.
