SOIL SURVEY INCLUDES
WHITE SALMON

The soil survey. which A. T. Stra-
horn, of the United States Department
of Agriculture. who arrived here last
week from California, will include not
only the Hood River Valley but the
White Salmon Valley as we'll. Mr..
Strahorn, who will have one man to
assist him in the work, estimates that
it will take them all summer TO COM
plete both tasks. The cultivable area
of the Hood River Valley consists Of
about 100, 900 acres but the White Sal
mon community is considerably small
Ter.
Mr.. Strahorn and his assistant will
drill with augurs to depth Of six feet
at intervals OF short distance, thus
enabling them. when the survey is fin.
ished TO classify all the different soils
on the map that will be made. They
will also make study and show the
origin of the different soils. Mr.. Stra.
horn, who has spent the past two sum-
mers in the Rogue River Valley, has
been spending his winters in the Inter-
Tor Valley of California making soil
surveys.
In addition to the soil survey the
government will make a topographic
survey of the Valley this summer
The topographic survey will begin, il
is thought, some time next month.

Well Pleased With North Yakima

f. II. Blackman and A. d. Moe spent
the week ehd at North Yakima, Wn.,
the former looking over the country
with view of seeking a location. MIR.
Blackman went to North Yakima from
Dayton, where he and Mrs. Blackman
visited their cousin, II. G. Moe, and
wife. Mr.. Blackman found old Wis
consin friends at North Yakima and
remained over Sunday.
Friday and Saturday the two gen,
tlemen were shown over the country
by Nj. r. Galloway, manager of the
Yakima Land Co.. and owner of a
number of choice orchard tracts. One
of the pleasing features of the trip was
the visit to the st. Louis ranch. fine
orchard of 10 acres in Fruitvale, which
is being ably managed by Mr.. Linkum;
brink, one of the owners, and which
will soon become one of the show
places of that section of beautiful and
profitable fruit ranches. The st. Louis
ranch last year on block of l5-year.
old apple and pear trees, received a
gross income of $3.50 an acre. This
year the same trees are loaded with
blossoms, with promise of still
greater yield than last year. The
Knob Hill district is tract of sew
eral hundred acres of bearing orchards,
with beautiful homes, fine drives and
al modern conveniences, and land in
this section has been sold as high as
$500 an acre The places are vel
kept, the orchards are highly produce
tive, close to the city of North Yaki-
ma, and combine the luxury of the
suburban home with the highest type
of country life.
The greater part of the 500. 900 acres
of fruit trees now set out in the Yaki-
ma valley are not yet in bearing, but
all the districts visited show great
promise of the future. The tree
growth is vigorous. end in healthy
condition. The principal varieties now
being planted are the Winesap and
Jonathan, which grow to perfection in
the Yakima valley. While there are a
good many Spitzenburgs and New
towns. yet these varieties are not 50
popular there as at Hood River, as
they do not reach the degree of per-
fection they do here.
Under the new government irrigation
| project is $4,000 acres, all set out tC
fruit, mostly apples and pears. 1t is
predicted that in few years the fruit
product of the Yakima valley will
yield nearly $4,000 carloads annually.
About 80, 600 cars is the estimate for

affairs of the community. A meeting

city streets before the heavy traffic of
the Blossom Festival begins.
The greater number of the valley
auto owners are members of the club
and all are eager to see it revive aud

j. r. Putnam. w. t. Sheldon and
Leslie Butler. the latter president.
Mr.. Sheldon has removed from the
city and his place will be filled soon by
some enthusiastic autoist. A meeting
