Garden Valley orchard district con-
tains about two thousand acres set to
apples. There are also pears, prunes,
and quite an acreage Of Tokay and
Malaga grapes. All of the orchards
are young, clean and vigorous, just
coming into bearing. It is estimated
that about 20 cars of fruit will be
shipped from the valley this season.
The climate of this particular Sec
ton is said to be the finest on the
coast, not excepting California. The
wind velocity is the lowest in the
United States, rainfall about 35
inches, abundance Of good soft water,
plenty of wood for fuel, good hunting
and fishing are some of the attractive
features Of the place. Roses bloom
every month in the year at Roseburg'
The season is the earliest in the
state.
The agricultural college of Oregon
selected an acre of Mr.. Moore's or
chard for demonstration work in
spraying this year the results OF
which showed his Spitzenberg apples
81 per cent perfect and the yellow
Newtowns SO per cent perfect. This
same per cent is true Of the entire or
chard and is regarded as an excep-
tionally high average this year.

thusiastic over their Oregon invest
ment and report a delightful trip.
