Birch Creek Apples-The fruit
growers of the south end of umatilla
county have demonstrated the fact
this year that they can produce good
apples-apples of GOOD mercantable
quality are in abundance on West
Birch creek, south of Pilot Rock.
Very nearly every farmer from the
Burgess ranch to Pine Grove have
apples that will compare favorably
with those grown in localities that
are heralded as the apple growing
sections. 1t is n sight well worth
any ones time to take a car and
make a drive to Pine Grove. The
roads are good that wind up through
n canyon almost to the timber line
Every orchard along this beautiful
road is literally breaking down with
beautiful red apples.
The farmers in this particular To-
cality have .placed this end of their
farming as Secondary. Consequently
some of these are finding some trou-
BILE in securing a market for their
present crop. Among the larger APP
pie growers in this locality are Gable,
Herbert Boylen, Frank Byrd, A. L.
and C. D. Hascall, A. S. and A. b,
