Oregon Fruit Grower Prosperous
Land Sells at Fabulous Prices

November 29th, 1919.
To the Editor of the Independent:
My wife and l, having just recent
ly returned from the Pacific Coast,
we thought that it might be inter-
esting to some of your readers to
know something about the country
which we visited in southern Oregon.
We own an apple and prune orchard
in the rich river bottom Garden Val
ley, which is convenient to Roseburg;
this is a town about eight thousand
people, and is Division point of the
Southern Pacific Railway Co. At
first sight the country looks quite
hilly and rolling, there are many
beautiful river and creek valleys, and
on going through this section of the
country as we did by car, it is sur
prising to see so many well kept and
improved farms, some ranging as high
as 400 acres; wheat, oats, barley and
corn are raised very successfully, this
of course is in the valleys. Here we
also find the fruit orchards, such as
apple, prune, loganberries, grapes,
etc. This fruit is finding a ready
market, as its equal is unsurpassed
by any. Prune ranchers this year
were made wealthy. Garden Valley
is especially good for Italian prunes,
and better are not grown than is pro-
duced by this valley. The country is
also good for mixed farming and
dairying is carried on extensively.
Turkeys are also very extensively
raised in some parts. The winters
are very mild and for this reason the
feeding of stock is little or no trouble.
Much Of the hill land is also used for
stock ranching, especially sheep which
tiers.
The average annual rainfall is
about 81 inches, the coolest it has
been for years is 20 degrees above
zero. We may say that irrigation
is not practiced here except for rare
cases for the commercial orchards or
garden. The summers are somewhat
dry, but the ground has wonderful
qualities for holding moisture under
cultivation. This part Of the country
is booming now and land is selling for
fabulous prices.
There is plenty Of timber consist
ing of pine, cedar, oak laurel, fir, etc.
We must not omit mentioning that
there is excellent hunting and anyone
enjoying this pastime has wide
range both in country and variety of
game at his disposal. Deer are very
plentiful, not to mention the fishing
which can be enjoyed in the many
rivers and creeks which are abundant
and / understand the salmon are very
tricky, too.
Trusting this may be of interest
to someone and thanking you for the
space, | am
Very respectfully,
ALFRED J.. MOORE.

bushel and just across the line it was
worth but $1.92. With this spread
price the Canadian farmers could
well afford to pay duty. Now that
the embargo was lifted last week no
duty will be charged and wheat can
be shipped in or out Of the country
as desired. The prices of wheat and
flour will no doubt be somewhat af-
fected by this ruling and will depend
entirely upon the amount shipped to
foreign countries.
