talking to lot of people who were
knocking Hood River and feeling sorry
that the land valuations of five years
ago had dropped to so much lower lev
els. But Mr.. Bone said he told them
the land was still here, and doing for
crops as well as it ever had.
why" he says, 81 told 'em Hood
River was going to take in more money
for crops this year than any year in its
history, and its SO" he said. "Why,
Hood River is going to take in over a
million dollars this year for her soil
crops alone. besides making most of
her own butter and raising sight more
of her hay than she ever did before.
It's too bad we have some of our citi-
zens who can't stand the pressure left
from 1910: but the future never looked
so good to me for Hood River as il does
right now. Whenever a man wants to
buy an Oregon orchard from now on he
isn't going to look any place else be-
sides Hood River, you see if he does.''
On the evening of Friday, Nov. 26,
Dean Cordley, of the o. A. c., will be
in Hood River and hold meeting in
the club rooms, to which business men
are requested to come. The financial
side of the experiment station will be
discussed. What it means in better

present cost and results. Shall we con-
tinue to support it. or shall the station
be enlarged, or quit. All are invited.
