R. RIVER VALLEY
WILL HAVE LARGE
CROP Of APPLES

Crop estimates just completed by
the various shippers and the railroad
company, indicate that the Rogue
River valley will harvest record
breaking apple crop this fall Up
wards Of 1000 cars are predicted,
which is 200 cars greater than any
previous crop and three times the
1920 crop.
Latest figures indicate that the
Bartlett tonnage will be from 20 TO
70 per cent OF the 1920 crops and
the late varieties of pears will total
about 20 per cent of last years ton
mage.
These figures, if born out by the
harvest this fall, show the Rogue
River valley is far in excess of most
fruit producing sections OF the cOun
try In its percentage Of norma;
crop. Late information from the
federal bureau of markets shows a.
per cent OF a pear crop and Al per
rent OF a normal apple crop. This
prediction for pears will be mater
tally cut down by a canvass OF the
Sacramento pear district where the
loss is yariously estimated by grow
ers and shippers at from 500 10 700
cars.
The data of the bureau is especial
ly interesting TO the Rogue River
growers in that il shows that nearly
so per cent OF the apples In the
country are northwestern box apples.
Washington. Idaho, Oregon and Cali
fornia have practically full crops,
while New York and the Virglnias
are light except in certain limited
areas The middle western states
from Michigan to the Ozarks are
practically blank. the government
experts say.
Present indications are that the
crop will return considerably in ex-
cess Of $1,000. 900 TO the growers
here this year This estimate IL
based upon apples bringing $1,000
per car and pears from $500 to
$500 per car.
Prospects for high prices for
Rogue River pears, particularly Bart
let's. were never better at this sea
fon. accord ng 10 the opinion OF resi-
dent shippers
This prediction Is based upon the
general crop failure throughout the
middle western and eastern districts
and the short crop in California
While there wss fair erop-abOul
10 per cent OF normal-in the sacra
mento river section In Califorh a. 4
month ago. the tonnage from thai
district was cut down from 80 Z

times know that the water we drink is
pure, especially since water can be
easily purified. by simple means, viz.
