The picture below shows sixty acres of five-year-old orchard belonging to 

 THE DUFUR LAND & DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, at 



Duf ur, Oregon 



DUFUR is fifteen miles south of The Dalles. The climatic conditions at DUFUR are identical 

 with Hood River. Hood River has made a success of apple growing. We have better soil at DUFUR 

 than they have at Hood River. This orchard at Hood River would easily bring $1,200 per acre. We 

 also have 1,400 acres of land adjoining this orchard which we will plant to orchard, sell at prices from 

 $350 to $500 per acre, and care for same for five vears. Terms, 10 per cent cash, 1^4 per cent per month. 



We beg to (juote below an extract from the address delivered by Mr. A. I. Mason of Hood River, 

 before the Y. M. C. A. in Portland, Oregon, in January last, in which he states as follows: 



"If you are going to grow apples, select your locality where you can grow the apple the most 

 successfully and get the most out of it. As I have said before, you do not necessarily have to go to 

 Hood River. Dufur is another splendid place. I do not know but what I would go and investigate 

 Dufur if I were going to leave our valley. I have seen as fine apples there as anywhere in the North- 

 west, and I am not boosting Dufur, either." 



The above quotation of Mr. Mason is given with his knowledge and consent, and we feel safe in 

 saying that his judgment with reference to the fruit-growing industry in Oregon is as good as the best.
