STRAWBERRY PATCH IN LINN COUNTY, WESTERN OREGON 



Oregon Strawberries the Young Man's Opportunity 



MANY Eastern people wonder if we 

 can raise strawberries in western 

 Oregon to a profitable extent. 

 The best proof that western Oregon is 

 the natural home for the strawberry is 

 found in the fact that nowhere else is there 

 such an abundance of wild strawberries; 

 on hillside and in the valleys wild berries 

 grow in countless numbers. 



Western Oregon is destined to become 

 the seat of the greatest strawberry industry 

 the world has ever known. Even now 

 our finest berries are demanded in the mar- 

 kets of the Atlantic coast. The canning 

 industry has hardly been thought of out 

 here. 



Our soil and climate are perfect for the 

 production of the finest strawberries ever 

 grown. 1 he strawberry is more popular 

 today than the orange, and that industry 

 is now paying our great transportation 

 lines over $25,000,000 annually to haul 

 the product to market from California. 

 The climate in western Oregon is ever 

 mild in the winter; the autumn is delight- 

 ful; the summers are pleasant, with cool 

 nights. 



Land is not high priced here. The best 

 of strawberry soil can be had from $15 to 

 $100 per acre within a reasonable distance 

 of market. With five acres a man can

make a good living and with ten acres he 

 can lay up money. 



The world already knows of the fame 

 of Oregon's Hood River strawberries. 

 The world will soon long for the flavor 



and taste of the best strawberries known, 

 those that can be raised in most portions 

 of western Oregon. 1 he large fields now 

 of commercial importance, in addition to 

 those of Hood River, are found in Marion
