STRONG FOR GOVERNOR EBERHART.

The Red Wing Republican, one of
leading publications of southern
Minnesota, has come out strongly
in supporting Governor Eberhart for
the republican nomination for gov
ernor, and says that it is about time
that those who have been subjecting
the governor to a most rigid test
as to his ability as the chief execu-
tive of the state came out and &C.
knowledged that Governor Eberhart
has indeed been weighed in the BAL
ance and found not wanting.
AS Tams Bixby is at the head of
the Red Wing paper, the remarks
anent Governor Eberhart are very
significant as showing the trend of
opinion of those of the republican
leaders who have been keeping tab"
on the manner in which the affairs
of the governors Office have been,
conducted since the demise of the
late Governor Johnson.
Now, if a few of the more promi.
nent of the "hold-outs" will just
give the governor fair consideration
in arriving at their conclusions, the
G. O. P. of Minnesota will soon
again be united party and can
swamp the "dems" with ease.

in the future this power which Is
not used to any extent now will be-
come the source OF great wealth to
the settlers along the renowned val
ley.
The people of Grants Pass have
within the last year commenced the
use of Rogue River water for irri-
eating purposes and at the present
writing there are so miles of irri-
eating canals under construction to
water the river fruit lands border
ing the stream On either side. The
development of this irrigating sys-
TEN opens up grand possibilities in
the immediate future, The great
dam built by the Aments which furn-
ishes the water for irrigation will
also be used for furnishing electric
power and electric light on the farms
throughout the valley. This will en-
able farmers to do by electric power
many of the things which have here
tofore been done by hand.

as our climate is adapted TO their
cultivation and every one could raise
this fruit and do their own picking.
/ have olive trees growing in the
city park at Grants Pass that have
stood the winter frost and are not in
jured in the least, not leaf on them
was frozen, and We all know that the
past winter was the coldest on re-
cord. The olive tree should never be
planted in cold or too wet soils or
where biting frosts are apt to occur
during the blooming period, which
is from the tenth to the twentieth of
May. The planting must be done
where there is moisture enough to
keep the trees growing but If the
soil is dry irrigation must be resort
ed to. The olive will thrive in this
country up to an elevation of 1000
feet. Neither scale, codling moth or
Otner pests disturb the owe tree,
hence there is a great saving of labor
in comparison with other fruits
grown in this country.
Olive trees should be planted in
February or March and great care
should be taken to put small
amount of water in the hole after
the roots are covered with soil, so as
to settle the earth around them, and
you must be sure to plant the tree
in the same position in which it was
grown, for if you place it in the
ground with the north side to the
south it will surely sun scald and
then the borer gets in his work. This
is the great mistake of the many

ALFALFA AND OTHER CROPS
PAY BIG RETURNS
MARKET FOR EVERYTHING
Grants Pass the Center Of the Great
Rogue River Valley Farm
ing District

There are many specialties in
farming which can be carried on
around Grants Pass. The one great
business, of course, is the planting
of orchards or vineyards, but if you
prefer to raise alfalfa you can cut
two tons to the acre and raise not
less than three crops and often four
to the acre per season, and this can
be sold in the market at Grants Pass
at from Sl7 to $22 ton. Take
your pencil and figure little and
see how much money you can make
a year out of forty acres of alfalfa.
If you think this is exaggerated
stop over at Grants Pass and ask
anybody that buys alfalfa what they
are paying ton for it.
If you don't like making a special
ty of growing alfalfa, raise grain,
which has been sold in Grants Pass
market at 2 cents a pound during
the past twelve months and often at
2a cents This grain was shipped
In because Of the lack of farmers to
produce it.
Again, II you would like to under
take farming on larger scale add
potatoes, beets, carrots, onions and
you can secure a cash price for all
these articles at all times in the
Grants Pass markets. Your income
In every instance will be in proper
ton to your enterprise, your ability
and your knowledge of farming.
II you would like something on
the side you can add dairying, and
you will find plenty of customers
In Grants Pass who will be glad to
pay you 30 cents a pound for butter
the year round and sometimes il
reaches 35 and 40 cents. Dairying
is one Of the very best calling In
Southern Oregon, There is plenty
Of feed for your cows which can be
grown upon the land such as kale
alfalfa, orchard grass, vetch, oats
and many other forage crops,
If you are a farmer, of course yor
will raise more or less pouiltrv. Egg
can be sold eight months in the veal
at from 20 to 40 cents a dozen anC
chickens from 10 to is cents
pound, This of itself you will fine
a paying business. Remember al
these things can be done on cheaI
land which can be purchased within
a few miles of Grants Pass, one o
the great mercantile centers o
Southern Oregon.
