LARGE BODIES MOVE SLOWLY.

takes a long time to educate the
great public and 1t took Wenatchee
a long time to show the people all
over the United States the wonderful
opportunity offered In Wenatchee
land and in the growing of COM
mercial variety of winter apples. The
education has been effective, how
ever, as has been shown by the won
derful progress made in the sale of
Wenatchee lands and in the prices
established which are based solely on
the producing values Of the crops de-
rived therefrom, and inasmuch as
Washington is looked to to produce,
as has been said by the large apple
buyers, 80 per cent of the total ap-
pie crop of the United States, we, in
consequence, must plant every acre
of available land suitable to the
growing of a. hardy apple.
To the Wenatchee rancher let us
man after man all of whom are COM
man afte rman all of whom are COM
ing from the east to look over this
wonderful section, many of whom
are coming to Wenatchee knowing
nothing of the Methow. Many others,
however, coming from the east d.
rect to the Methow, knowing iron.
our advertisements in the east Just
what they are to expect AMI it is a
pleasure to advise the public that
these men are buying our land which
is selling rapidly
Establish in your minds, if you
will, please, what so per cent of the
total apple crop of the United States
means Look over the statistics OF
a few days ago published in the We
natchee Daily World and estimate in
that must be planted to apples to
produce this great portion Of the ma
tional supply and you will readily
appreciate that we must needs put
into crop every available acre in the
entire state suitable TO the growing
of apples. This will be done in the
next few years beyond all question of
a doubt and those lands planted first
will be the best lands naturally, in
consequence, the best buy for you
today is raw lands whose physical
conditions, together with water sup
ply, are the best, and In this direc-
ton allow us to present to you again
that wonderful valley known as the
Methow. We can but repeat what
we have said before. 1t is not long
story because the history of the coun-
try is so short. but in concrete form
it Is as follows.
We offer the Nethow Valley
for your consideration as the
next best field for development We
say the next best field because we feel
certain in our minds we are correct,
as do those who have seen it, includ-
ing many of our prominent business
men in Wenatchee and Whereabouts,
together with apple growers from all
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-08-06

minds what must needs be the future
Of the Methow Valley in the next few
years to come? Most of you are
doubtless aware that q, railroad is
building our way and will shortly in
tersect the Methow river, affording
the best possible transportation and
will give those who grow fruit in our
valley an opportunity to market to
the best possible advantage. 1t will
give those who buy and live in the
valley an opportunity to have a
home surrounded by the beautiful
Cascade mountains, an opportunity to
spend the idle hours in fishing and
hunting, then too. lumber is cheap,
timber is at your back door, grass
land in plenty, hay and feed the
cheapest in the state, vegetables and
truck garden stuff in plenty, meat
costing far below that in Wenatchee
and most other localities, and as
matter of fact, one can live in the
Methow Valley for a great deal less
than in most sections, and at the same
time double his money.
1t is our sincere desire to publish
in a frank, open and unbiased way,
the possibilities of this valley. We
have been working on our irrigation
bitches for some three and a half
years and in this time have water
on practically every tract of land un-
der our ditch. The land has been on
sale very short time Each day sees
the public more and more interested
and with the sale of each tract your
chance is impaired insofar as a Sc
lection of that particular tract is con-
cerned. Time is money and each
week from now on will see the prices
showing higher and higher. We have
no hesitancy in saying that before
snow flies we will have the prices at
least double what they are today, and
we will sell the land at the advanced
prices as it is in demand and those
who know good fruit lands will buy
as they are doing today.
1t is said that opportunity knocks
bat once. To many of you it knocked
in 1900 and again in 1903 and 1905
and is knocking again. Some OF you
took advantage of one grand oppor-
tunity and other deferred until 1t was
too late. One investor alone has put
s10o. 900 into the Methow within the
last few days, simply as an invest
ment for his son. True he has lets OF
money and can well afford to waits
but we consider this sale quite an
achievement insomuch as the man is
a banker, has been dealing In lands
all his life, has made phenomenal
success and knows with all surety
iust what he would do. The success
ful man is fair criterion. Are not
these actions worthy of your consid-
Grafton? Don't you who know what
Wenatehee Is, feel that there are 9TH
err sections whose future will be
equally great if not greater in the
near future?
| To those who were addressed per-
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1909-08-06

business men built other bitches and
made this country a success. Why
isn't 1t possible that our bitches sup
plying two inches fwater to the
acre, will make the Methow equally
successful. The conditions existing in
the two valleys are practically iden-
teal. We will have planted 1900
acres to trees before we see our next
snow.
Consider che great tonnage these
trees will yield aside from those we
will plant in thes pring. You can not
make mistake. Those few dollars
|you have set aside will yield enor-
nous returns. Buy land where we
will deliver water to the highest point
of the land in our bitches. Don't
you believe in your ability? See our
land as others have done. Did you
make the money you have to invest or
was it left to you? The chances are
you made it. If your capital is small
we will put our lands within your
reach and if you should pass away,
we will CO.. the land to your family,
we simply insuring your life and pay
ing for it. And furthermore, if you
should have trouble in securing
money for other payments, we will
lend you money on the land for which
you have contracted. There Is rea-
son people are buying land in the
Methow. The land is right, we treat
the public right and the opportunity
is there. If you are unable to care
for the land. we will plant it for you.
This Is bringing the opportunity to
your door. Large bodies move slow
", but in the Methow they are NOV
ing wonderfully fast This Is an in
vestment, large or small, with but few
equals. A man is dead long time.
his opportunity lies in today. Oppor-
tunity and nerve spell success. The
man who Wills is the man who wins.
Are you the man who wills. 1t is for
yourself to decide.
As we said before it isn't necessary
to go and see the Methow. Ask those
who have seen it. 1t is simply case
of are you tired of looking on. Here,
take this bankers opinion. Plant so

S to Is year old trees, 400 boxes to

have 5000 per acre. This will pay for
an acre in one year. The difference
between our prices and the figures
given will represent forum on 10

records of the Methow apple at the

that valley as being second to none
for the growing of commercial va

Il first became acquainted with the
products Of that valley while state

have made regular trips two or three
times each season through that sec

centage of potash and phosphates. It
varies in depth from three to forty
feet and on account of it's general
contour has perfect drainage.
quite an amount of the lower

ia for the past ten years. The higher
bench lands, on account of never be-
ing irrigated, are practically all raw
lands and covered with heavy
growth of sage brush. On the whole,
these lands are very level and will
require but little labor or expense
in preparing for the planting OF or
chards.
The water supply of this valley
is practically unlimited, and you
need not fear, even during the dryest
season. shortage OF water.
The drainage is of the best
throughout the entire valley and CHI
matte conditions are perfect for the
growing OF winter apples, especially
the late keeping varieties.
"On account of the heavy snowfall
during the winter months fruit trees
are late In blossoming and in my con-
versation with fruit growers in the
valley. l learned they have never lost
crop on account of late frosts in

section are of a high color, fine fla

ture, are excellent shippers.
