SMALL ORCHARD EARNS
MORE THAN WHEAT FARM
(speclal Correspondence. J


Hermiston, Oct. 15.-Intent upon
determining to their personal satisfac-
tion which is the more profitable,
fruit or wheat growing, two brothers
have for several years entered in a
friendly contest George Smith has
several hundred acres Of wheat land
in Douglas county on Badger noun
tain. His brother, i. w. Smith, lives
on a six-acre fruit tract adjoining
Wenatchee, four acres of which are
In fine bearing orchard. The broth
ers contest each year to see which
receives the lagest returns for the
seasons labor
Two years ago the farmer had 200
acres Of wheat, yet the fruit grower
received the most money for his crop.
Last year the wheat raiser had ESQ
acres of wheat and still the fruit crop
brought the biggest price. This year
the wheat grower has 500 acres of
land in wheat with a big crop in
sight and feels confident that he will
win.
The fruitgrower has one acre Of
apples which will net him $4,000. The
trees are nine years old and are of
the winesap variety. Last year he
harvested 1886 worth of apples and
the year before received $500 for his
crop.

the schools in the county. Our sys-
TEN is in fine working order, every
wheel creased and every cog in its
place. teachers v ell paid and universal
satisfaction seems to prevail on every
hand.
We have established the first aeri,
cultural county school in the state, now
running smoothly with 40 pupils, Is in
boarding department with room for 80
more. We have reason to expect
great advantages from this school with
such an suspicious beginning. The
name of the president emphasizes the
agriculture feature, for his name is
Prof. Cobb. Our teachers in the fu-
ture will get their training from our
own home school saving money and
time.
We want you to note the fact that
the citizens Of the county have not
been called on for one cent additional
tax to help make all this growth and
Improvement But the money coming
to US through the regular channels, has
been so skillfully and economically
managed that it has paid over S25,-
