Results in Fruit Raising.
There are a good many people who
are about to embark in fruit raising
or orcharding in Oregon and who
need to consider well what it means
before doing so, says the Eugene Reg
ister So many of them think that all
that is necessary is to get hold of an
orchard already planted and simply
wait until the time of harvest and then
gather and market the fruit and pock-
ct the money, and that is all there is
of it; or to plant out their young
trees and sit supinely by and watch
them grow to maturity, and then be
able to reap rich rewards or sell their
orchard land for from $500 to $1,000
per acre, and live an Independent
life for the balance of their days. Such
day dream is the veriest haze and
smoke that will be dissipated when
they get up against the real thing.

but If is too late now. as the ground is
too hard and dry and would only turn
over in great chunks and .clods. Again
he is disappointed, and by the time he
has gone through the experience
half dozen times and meets with an
answer of you ought to have done
thus and so before, but you will now
have to wait until next year and try it
over again." he becomes disgusted,
puts on his coat again and says: me
for the old job again. There is more
You ought to have done thus and so
than l can stand, and thus many an
ambitious orchardist has his ardor
cooled and his ambition blasted in
very short order
Then, again, some one will buy a
tract of land and go in debt for it,
buy trees and borrow money to pay
for them; plant the trees and expect
results in a year or two, and grow
tired in working and waiting for the
trees to come into bearing with no
other resources to keep up expenses
in the years that must pass
Should Proceed Cautiously.
