tstlcs don't lie. Residents OF this
section of Umatila county who have
visited in the famous Hood River,
Yakima and Wenatchee countries
where fruit lands sell for from ST.
500 to $4,000 an acre, come back with
two new ideas TO present to their
neighbors. First, il takes careful at
tention and cultivation to make fruit
growing profitable, but that when
such methods are used in the proper
localities the financial benefits are
wonderful; and, secondly. that the
fruit belt adjacent to Milton and
Freewater has every advantage pos
sessed by the above-named districts
and "some TO boot"
It used to be not uncommon for
men who had lived in this section OF
the country most of their lives to get
together their belongings and pull
out for Alberta, Idaho or some other
country "where a Ivan can get
start" Now many of these people
who, having failed TO "get their start
have returned to their old home and
are now the proud possessors OF small
farms. and besides gaining comfort
able llvlngs are contented and happy
and laying by neat sums every year.

successes they took more interest in
the work until state of higher per-
fection was reached and they culti-
waited and pruned the orchards as
they should be to secure the best re-
suits. What these improved methods
have done for the country can not be
over estimated. They have changed
the whole appearance of the valley
from a dilapidated and worn out
country to a rich. cultivated and Won
derfully productive valley. where
dwell hundreds of contented and hap
py people.
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-02-18

Along with the general improve
ment of the country has come a cor
responding increase in land values
Fruit and garden farms which for
merly sold for from $50 to $3.50 an
acre have risen in value until they
can not now be purchased for less
than from $500 to $1,000 an acre, and
are eagerly sought for at those fig
ures. The question will doubtless
arise in the minds of some who read
these statements whether or not ST.
900 an acre land is profitable. One
of the principal fruitgrowers of this
valley said in a recent address before

country is probably the most produc-
tive, is equal if not superior to any,
thing that can be found in the north
west, from a fruitgrower's standpoint.
People here are awakening from the
delusion that has rested on them for
so long a time, making them believe
that this country was not adapted
to the culture of fruits, and now a
great era of prosperity is just begin
ming to dawn. A few years ago 1t
was a common and generally accept
ed belief that apples would not grow
here. There appeared to be some,
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-02-18

thing in the climatic conditions which
prevented this king of fruits from
making good" in this valley. The
few orchards which had been plant
ed years ago were allowed to decay
without cultivation and care until the
trees were not capable of producing
anything even in the choicest of ap-
pie belts.
It took a number of years to edu-
cate the people here that they could
even do fairly well in the fruit grow
ing industry. At first only half
hearted efforts were made along this
line, but eventually encouraged by

Milton. Feb. 16.-(Special. )-Or
chardists and small fruit growers in
the vicinity of Milton and Freewater
are making preparations to handle
one of the heaviest crops of fruit dur
ing the coming season that this valley
has ever known. Contrary to the gen.
orally circulated report Immediately
following the cold weather in January,
10 the effect that much damage was
done TO peach buds and other SINH
lar varieties of fruit, recent and care
ful examination of the trees has dis
closed the fact that there will be one
of the heaviest fruit crops the COM
ing season that has ever been har-
vested here.
Activity among the owners of small
tracts of fruit and garden land in
this vicinity is already very pro-
nounced, and each day sees large
numbers of fruit and garden farms
plowed and cultivated ready for
planting or seeding whenever the
winter weather shall have passed a
little longer.
Great Awakening.
Never before in the history of this
valley have there been so many signs
of awakening industry and enterprise
as can be seen in all parts of the
country adjacent to these cities. Lands
that were, a few years ago considered
of practically no value, and that
could have been bought for a mere
song. compared to their present val
ue, have been and are rapidly being
converted into orchard and garden
tracts which are selling at from
$500 to $1,000 an acre. One of the
greatest hiHderances to the develop
ment Of this land, IN the past, is now
being successfully removed. This IS
the question of whether or not sutti-
aIehf water can be secured to irrigate
Il without water the soil IS worth
but little. but with plenty Of moisture
the products that may be realized
from an acre of land are immense.
In place Of depending almost en-
tirely upon the natural flow OF water
through streams and bitches, water
for irrigation purposes in many parts
Of this vicinity is being pumped by
means Of gasoline engines and elec-
tric motors, sufficient to supply all
needs. Although it was at first
thought difficult to find water only IN
certain places, without going to
great depth, it has been proven by
actual tests that large quantities Of
the LIQUID can be secured at only
comparatively little depth below the
surface Of the ground.
Gasoline Pump Works Revolution.
The discovery Of so easy way to
secure water for both irrigation and
domestic purposes has worked prac-
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-02-18

teal revolution in the fruitgrowing in
dustry in this valley 1t has enabled
men with small means to purchase
five, ten or twenty acres of raw land
and by employing a little labor and
means, to convert their holdings into
valuable properties. In this manner
men and women who came to this
valley a few years ago with practical
ly nothing but industry and persever-
ance as their stock in trade, have
become possessed of real estate and
other property which now gives them
comfortable home and at the same
East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1909-02-18

the annual convention of the Milton
Fruit Growers union that within five
years land in the Milton coun-
try will be selling for from $4,000 to
$4,000 an acre. In proof of his belief
he gave instances where fruitgrowers
here have made as high as 20 per cent
on strawberry and orchard land, fig
uring its value at $1,000 an acre. He
said the only way to estimate the in
trinsic value of an acre of land Is to
compute such value on its productive
qualities. When this is done $1,000
land seems as reasonable as $40 an
acre land in many localities,
With prospects bright for one OF
the biggest crops this valley has ever
known and more advanced ideas in
culcated into the minds of the indl-
vidual growers regarding the market
ing of their products this valley is
looking forward to one of the most
rapid strides in improvement that has
ever been seen hereabouts. During
the past few months there has been
no small amount Of outside advertis-
ing from Milton and Freewater, which
has and is producing excellent re-
suits. People are coming In to this
country TO buy land and make homes
in large numbers and with the more
pronounced opening of spring this
immigration Of homeseekers and in
vesters is expected to be considerably
augmented.

money invested.
The days when fruit growing prov

big red apple, the luscious peach and
the delicious strawberry are among
the principal producers that this
country can boast Of. The change
has been gradual during the past five
years but not until the present sea-

Shipping Potatoes.

The following extracts from a

rotary of the Baton Rouge Truck
Growers Association, to j. r.
Matthews, is given for the in
formation of those of our readers
who may be interested in finding
a market for their surplus pO-
tatOes:
IF you know of any potato
growers in, or near your city
that are ready to dig, | would
advise that they get together as
many as eight acres of potatoes,
and let them all commence to
digging the same day, so they
can make a car load. Let me know
the day before you start to dig
ging, and | will send a man there
to show them how to sack them,
and load them in the cars, and
when this is done, | will be able
to tell you what they are worth.
Understand that | am selling
them for you at the very best
price I can get, and | will charge
the growers 10 per cent for sell
ing them for them.
If there are some that do not
want to do this way. have them
ship them to me local, and | will
give them all l can, on receipt OF
the potatoes.
