foremost fruit crop, will decline. says
the department, from a total Of 49,
670,000o barrels in 1915 to 72.531.-

The placing Of thousands OF acres
OF lands upon the markets In south
ern Oregon will have a wonderful
influence upon industrial conditions
here. These lands will support many
families, for they can not. under the

has been holding them for the past
40 years. The agricultural lands
will at once be developed and will en-
ter the producing class. adding to the
