Northwest Fruit Notes From Here and There 



OREGON. 

 The Stanfield Fruitgrowers' Union at Stan- 

 field, Ore., which harvested a crop of 3,000 

 boxes of apples last year, expects to ship 

 20,0110 boxes of fruit this season. The union 

 at Stanfield has engaged as manager M. A. 

 Mohr, a well-known fruitgrower of Hood 

 River, Ore. 



The Sunnycliffe orchard at Medford, Ore., 

 recently changed hands, being purchased by 

 Rupert Henry, a Chicago real estate man. The 

 orchard was formerly owned by C. H. Chad- 

 wick. The property consists of 220 acres, 125 

 of which are in pears and apples, and the rest 

 in grain and hay. It is located on the Talent 

 irrigation ditch. The new owner will take 

 charge of the property next spring. 



It is announced that 300 orchardists are 

 enrolled with the Oregon Growers' Co-opera- 



tive Association in Jackson and Josephine 

 Counties, comprising about one-half of the 

 acreage in the fruit growing districts of those 

 counties. The local members of the associa- 

 tion include most of the largest orchards. 

 Packing and warehouses have been located at 

 Eagle Point, Grants Pass, Vorheis, Phoenix, 

 Gold Hill and Davis. The value of the asso- 

 ciation's property in the Rogue River Valley 

 is stated to be $85,000. The largest warehouse 

 is located at Medford, where 200 people are 

 being employed during the heavy apple and 

 pear packing season. The acreage of the as- 

 sociation in fruit now comprises 30.000 acres 

 and extends from Portland to Ashland. 



Professor A. Kikuchi, one of the best known 

 authorities on fruits in Japan, recently spent 

 a week at the Southern Oregon Experiment 

 Station visiting with Professor F. C. Reimer, 

 who is making extensive experiments with 



blight-resistant varieties of pears. Professor 

 Kikuchi is the director of the experiment sta- 

 tion at Yokohama, Japan, where he is con- 

 ducting very extensive experiments with Jap- 

 anese pears. While Professor Reimer was in 

 Japan, Director Kikuchi gave him very ma- 

 terial assistance in traveling with him to vari- 

 ous parts of Japan, where the wild pears of 

 that country are most abundant. Professor 

 Kikuchi is looked upon as the greatest au- 

 thority in Japan on Japanese pears. He is 

 vitally interested in the extensive experiments 

 with pears conducted at the Southern Oregon 

 Experiment Station and will spend the week 

 studying the work at this station. 



Reports from the Hood River district are 

 to the effect that unless the price of cull apples 

 looks up in price that they will not be very 

 profitable to the grower this year. The open- 

 ing price was ¥8 per ton, which was offered 

 by the local vinegar company. Libby, McNeil 

 & Libby, who have a large cannery at The 

 Dalles, and bought heavily last year, are re- 



Dried Buttermilk 



A process for introducing Dried 

 Buttermilk into certain of the 

 Olympic feeds has revolutionized 

 the handling of an ingredient 

 long recognized by science and 

 practical feeders as containing the 

 most valuable elements possible 

 to obtain. The drying process 

 removes simply the water, leav- 

 ing the other elements pure and 

 fresh for storage or shipment.

Livestock and Poultry Feeds 



(CJ57S0J|Qg Feeds mark the introduction of practical 

 science in the manufacture and use of prepared feeds for 

 livestock and poultry in the West.. 



Headed by one of the foremost authorities on feed manu- 

 facture in America, a corps of experts of many years' 

 actual experience built the great modern Olympic mill 

 and direct the production of feed for every farm need. 



Laboratory tests of materials at every step in the making and 

 practical field demonstrations soon prove the superior value of 

 these feeds under every comparative condition.
