HAVE FINE ORCHARD.
Ewing Brothers Show Judgment in
Their Operations.

Five years ago Messrs. r. M. and
W. B. Ewing purchased 100 acres of
hill land on what is known as the low
er Monmouth road, three miles from
Dallas, ON which they planted 5000
apple trees-Newtons, Spitzenbergs
and Johnathans. Great care was
taken in the preparation of the soil,
while the trees were planted with even
greater care. The orchard is pro-
nounced by expert horticulturists to
be, without exception, one of the
finest in this section of Oregon, the
manner in which the trees are headed
being particularly attractive.
Until the present season nothing
was planted between the rows, but
Ewing Brothers saw an opportunity
to realize on their investment while
their trees were reaching the produc-
ing stage and this season planted
crops sufficient to keep $50 hogs, from
which they will net handsome profit
Besides the 5000 apple trees the Ew-
ings last winter planted twenty acres
to prunes, and the young trees are
starting out with vim.
