sTHE WEATHER AND FRUIT.

verse month AZ to weather conditions,
damaged fruit to y greater or less ex-
tent. The young and old orchards Of
the OkSnoyan valley fortunately es-
capped injury. One reason for this inn
munity is that the bud, were not 50
far advanced. and another reason is
that this section aS 4 rule, escapes
heavy froSt> in the early season when
buds form. George Whistler, who is
an authority on all things pertaining
to fruits. and orchard culture, states
that, so far. he has not found a peach
bud blighted in this vicinity. The les
son from this fortuitous condition is
obvious. II you want a fruit ranch
where the soil and climate happily
combine to insure the very best of
fruits. prodiyiouS yield and sure crops
come to the Dkanogan valley. ENper-
fence and experiment have demon
strated that there is no more desirable
locality in the state for fruit grow ing.
and the very best returns on intelli-
gent effort directed in that industry.
The alluvial soil OF the valley contains
in proper proportions those elements
that are essential to the production of
all kinds OF choice fruits. and especial
ly the kingly apple. Combined with
life giving water this soil assure, size.

Mr.. Ellis personally and also in con

are both careful and far-seeing hu,i

land game who follow their bets. They
recognize that the fruit lands of thi,
valley are equal in productive capacit.
to those of the Wenatchee. or any
other, valley, and feel satisfied that
the day is not far distant when prices
OF land here will correspond with the
prices asked and received in other fruit
growing districts. They may have
failed to take advantage of the chances
presented for land investments when
they first went into business at Wen

the opportunities presented at this
