WHAT IRRIGATION
DID FOR Mr.. MILLS
wonderful Pr0ductiveness of Small
Tract When Properly Ir-
rigated.

TO Illustrate what can be done
by the intelligent application of
water in the way of irrigation in
raising small fruits and vegetables
In Josephine County, it is only neces-
sary to recite few instances of what
has been done by way Of diversion
and for home use by persons engag-
ed in mining and other occupations.
John Henry Mills, superintendent
OF the Jordan Gulch mines near
Placer, raised the following on a
tract of land only 100 feet square:
From a square rod, or 272A square
feet he raised and harvested 97S
pounds of Half Long" well matured
carrots, or at the rate of little
more than rs tons per acre, which
would readily have brought in the
local market at Grants Pass or
Placer, $40 per ton, or $3.50 per
acre.
From about " square rods,
from 200 strawberry plants, he
gathered 200 pounds of fine ripe
berries. From 2 square rods of
pole beans he raised and gathered
200 pounds of green beans, valued
at "a. On the remainder of the
plot, or about 80 square rods, he
raised and harvested about 100
bushels of potatoes, worth in the
local market about SIS.
Besides the above products, the
family had all the cabbage they
could use during the season and
plenty to make a barrel of kraut in
the fall.
For the purpose of irrigation, Mr..
Mills conducted small adjacent
spring in a "V" shaped flume about
22OO feet to barrel placed on top
of a trestle about 20 feet above the
graden, from which he irrigated
the plot with hose.
There is nothing extraordinary
about this soil; it is only common
red land, Of which there are thous-
ands of acres In Southern Oregon;
but one magical word expressed the
whole thing and that is water" "

No japanese or Chinese to com.
pete In growing vegetables. You
can grow and eat your own melons,
do your own truck farming and reap
the rewards Of your industry with.
out competition with cheap labor.
Think Of It, ten tons Of cabbage per
acre, six tons Of onions per acre,
grapes net the grower $3.50 to $500
per acre, apples 5000 to $3.50 and
pears more than this The truck
farmer raises anything which he can
raise anywhere and finds market
through united fruit exchange.
which ships the products Of the
small growers all together and thus
ships in carload lots at carload
rates and thus reaches the markets
OF the world.

Our Three Soils.

There are substantially three soils
In Josephine county; rich, black
loan; a fine red land; and the white
granite. The black loan is our
river bottoms and is strong and
deep soil, capable of producing al
most any crop and as rule little
or no irrigation is required. There
are times, however, when water Is
an absolute necessity, therefore a
farm under irrigation, even on this
black soil, is a necessity II we are to
secure the best results year after
year. Apples and pears thrive on
this soil; trees make vigorous
growth and the fruit, If cared for,
will be large and OF fine flavor as
well as Of excellent color.
The red land is regarded as very
fine for almost any crop, including
fruits Of all kinds. This soil Is
known as the very best grape land
and there were many hundreds OF
acres put into vineyards last year
and this.
The white granite soil has only OF
late years become known as valu-
able. It has been discovered that
this soil is superior for early vege.
tables and small fruits. 1t becomes
warm two weeks earlier than the
bottom lands and is even earlier
than the red lands. With irrigation
II will produce abundantly.

Prices of Lumber.
And other prices to match

Come out Of the east where graft
and combine and excessive freight
rates require of you for a certain
weight of lumber a corresponding
weight of gold.
Come to place where you can
build home which you can afford
to live in. Come where thte princi-
pal business of the lumber merchant
is to help you build a home and not
to take your roof from over your
head by an extortionate mechanics
lien.
