Rambles of a Visitor

the tracts and planted the trees, and
IL Is he that has nursed them along,
until now, at their second year, II
would be difficult TO find more uni
form orchard, considering the size.
Efficiency Indeed efficiency Of
the highest degree has been necessary
10 the success Of the entire undertake
ing. Efficiency Of the men who are
supplying the finances; efficiency of
the man who is personally In charge
OF the undertaking; and efficiency Of
every man, beast and living thing on
the place.
A half days visit TO the place leaves
one somewhat bewildered. There Is
so much to see and comprehend. You
wonder how II could all be built In
two years. A fine green lawn around
the house; good size rose bushes just
ready to burst into bloom; n climbing

rose considerably higher than a mans
head; the house, as modern a five
room bungalow as you will find any
where, equipped with outdoor sleep
ing porches, stationary shower bath,
modern bath room, septic tank, cab
met kitchen including cooling cabinet;
a well 175 feet deep from which a one
and one-half horse power gasoline en-
gine pumps pure, cool water for do
mestic purposes; n 315 gallon pres
sure tank in an outdoor cellar which
forces the water into the kitchen and
bath room; n modern laundry house;
permanent dog kennels; hot bed
which supplied the table with fresh
lettuce, green onions and radishes all
last winter; modern chicken houses
with south sun fronts; large flock
Of pure blood White Wyandotte chick
ems; a flock Of bantams kept for the
purpose Of supplying delicious indi-
vidual bakes for home use; a we'll
equipped blacksmith shop; good
barn which was built so that II could

eventually be turned into an apple
packing house; one Of the finest gar
dens in which there is an ample sup
ply Of strawberries, gooseberries,
raspberries, blackberries, dewberries,
currants, sour grapes and California
grapes, besides thrifty beds of all
kinds Of vegetables; these are only a
few Of the details Of the big undertake
ing-sort Of side lines, as II were, to
the primary idea-that Of n modern
commercial orchard. And Of course
they are all essential to the success
Of the project as a unit.
Two distinct ownerships OF land
comprise the four hundred acre Or
chard. Morton Barrows Of the law
firm Of Barrows, Stewart q ordway,
Of st. Paul, Mimi, owns 240 acres OF
the orchard, and L. p. ordway Of the
firm Of Crane & ordway, plumbing
jobbers Of st. Paul, owns 100 acres.
A peculiar feature is that Mr.. ordway
has never seen the place. He pur-
chased the land upon the recommend

one-ffth Of it's inhabitants. Since that
catastrophe Galveston has nearly tripled
it's population, and has multiplied its busi-
ness activity until it's foreign trade is now
the second largest in the United States.
In 1918 it exported more American goods
than Boston, Philadelphia and Baltimore
together one-seventh of their popu-
lation.
If all the people of the second Ameri-
can seaport were dropped down into the
first-which is to say, if all the Galveston
ians were precipitated into the midst of
Manhattan Island-they wouldn't cause
even transitory blockade on Broadway.
But if they stayed there, New York would
soon find out that something had happened.
That is the spirit that makes cities
grow. Some cities will grow in a desert
or on mountain top. Others will starve
in the Garden of Eden. 1t all depends upon
who lives in them.
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1915-05-13

alton of Mr.. Barrows and he has
never been here to look over his hold
ings. The Barrows land was pur-
chased from the Oregon e. Western
Colonization Co. A county road sep
arates the two ownerships. But in
reality it is all one big orchard. Trees
on both places were planted at the
same time and the same scheme Of
alternating the different varieties has
been followed out on both places.
While the primary object has been
to build commercial orchard, yet
due regard has been given to changes
that future years might bring. And
IL it should ever become desirable to
cut the place up into smaller tracts,
it can be done. For the entire four
hundred acres was laid off in forty
acre tracts, and on each forty there
is planted thirty acres Of apples and
ten acres Of Italian prunes. The ap-
pies are divided into four varieties as
follows: Ten acres to Rome Beauty;
eight acres to Winesap; six acres to
Jonathans and four acres to White
Winter Pearmains. On each forty
acre tract this percentage has been
carefully observed. On the Barrows
tract there is a hill comprising ninety
acres. This land is above the irriga-
tion ditch. The reclamation Of this
part Of the place has not yet been to-
tally accomplished. Just this week
the work Of clearing the sagebrush
has been completed. But this work
has been left to the last for the reas-
on that on the hill will be planted
Italian prune trees, and these bear
fruit in four years, while the apple
trees require an age Of about eight
years before they will produce q full
crop. In order to irrigate the ninety
acre hill tract, IL will be necessary to
pump water from the ditch to n
height Of about fifty feet. A modern
electric pumping plant for this pur-
pose will be installed. And the whole
tract will be planted to prunes for the
reason that prune trees require very
little water, and can be irrigated
cheaper than any other kind Of fruit.
Before the prune trees commence
TO-. bear "A modern four tunnel dryer
will be built to take care of the crop.
In speaking Of the prune crop, Mr..
The Ontario Argus. (Ontario, Or.) 1???-1947, 1915-05-13

deal of study. These things can all be
overcome and are no longer serious
menace to an orchard.
"As to markets." he continued, "wc
shall do our own marketing and there
is little to be feared from off mar
kets."
This explanation of the markets,
however, was not satisfactory. The
fruit growers of the country have just
Experienced an "off" market year.
Many fruit growers did not receive
enough for their product to pay for
the wooden boxes in which 1t was ship
PEG But he explained away this OBJ
lection.
"The producer" he said, must mar
ket his own product. He must attend
to the actual selling Of it. He must
not only grow his fruit, but he must
pack Il, load il on the cars, and take
liz to market himself. This will solve
the market question. You state that
last year was an "off" year, and that
fruit growers all over the country lost
money. That is true, but 1t was not
necessary. In the Grande valley OF
Colorado, | own q ten-acre tract upon
which there is an apple orchard Of
six and one-half acres. have this
orchard rented, or rather have a
man in charge Of It, and we divide
the cost Of the place equally and also
divide the profits equally. Last sea-
son we had four cars Of apples on the
place that were fancy apples and these
were packed according to the stand
ard method and the man in charge
Of the place took them to market
himself. He found a good market in
Iowa where he sold direct to the cen.

OF the taxes, had left just 1885 clear

marketed in this manner last season.

the winter profitably and pleasantly in
marketing his apples. He sold direct

produce the best results"
He says that blight is due to inn
proper irrigation, and is not spread by
insects as is the common belief,
