IRRIGATED FRUIT LANDS 



in the Methow Valley. 



The Methow Valley is situated on the Columbia River above Wenatchee, 

 Wash., in the fruit belt which lies in the southern part of Okanogan County. It is a 

 place where nature has outdone herself in forming a combination of scenery, 

 climate and productive soil. The valley lies on the east slope of the Cascade 

 Mountains, surrounded by towering, snow-capped peaks and has an average eleva- 

 tion of 1,500 feet above sea level. The Methow River winds its way through 

 orchards and alfalfa fields and empties into the Columbia River at Pateros, Wash. 



The unremitting sunshine of the summer months, and the natural air 

 drainage of the valley, makes this spot ideal for residence, and it has been pro- 

 nounced by experts as almost perfect for the production of first class fruit. The 

 soil is a volcanic ash and sandy loam, and the land has a general slope to the 

 southwest. 



A shrewd and perhaps the best orchard man in the Northwest recently said 

 in a public speech: "It's the sunshine, elevation and soil, together with the 

 abundance of water and the climatic conditions, that give fruit in the Methow Valley 

 its size, color and flavor. Okanogan County is certainly entitled to the 46 prizes 

 it won at this year's Spokane Interstate fair." 



The Methow Valley exhibited 20 plates at the National Apple Show, 

 Spokane, Wash., Dec. 5 to 12, and received TEN prizes. 



The Methow Canal Co. wiil sell you a five or ten acre tract planted to apple 

 trees and care for the property for you until it becomes bearing. 



A bearing orchard in the Methow is insurance for old age.
