. Better fruit. Fruit-culture. Page 22 BETTER FRUIT Soil and Climate Big Factors in Berry Growing By D. E. Towle, Gresham, Oregon THINKING your readers would be interested in learning something of the possibilities of berry farming in Eastern Multnomah County, especially in the territory tributary to Greshani, I concluded to ask you for a little space. If you will glance at the county map you will note Gresham's location, some 20 odd miles southeast of the confluence of the Willamette and Columbia rivers and on an air line towards Mt. Hood. It seems that nature believes in special- izing and providing special localities for certain productsâto-wit, Hood River spells apples; Southern Califor- nia Sunkist oranges, and Gresham ber- ries. Why? Well, there is a reason and it can be expressed in two words^ soil and climate. The soil is different from the average soil of the coast country, being a mix- ture of volcanic ash and Columbia river sand forming a soil that is easily tilled, very fertile and being underlaid with a water-bearing sand, the soil is sub-irrigated and with good cultivation holds an ample supply of moisture to mature the finest quality of strawber- ries, raspberries and loganberries in the driest seasons. There is also an- other peculiar local factor that helps to bring the berries to their high stand- ard of perfection which in time will give them a world reputation for qual- ity. It is that life-giving sea breeze that naturally rolls up the Columbia river during the summer season and spreads out over this favored locality. To con- vince yourself of this, please take an- other look at the map, and knowing as you do that the prevailing summer wind is from the Northwest, please draw a line from the mouth of the Columbia river in a southeast direction and you will be convinced that Gresham's berry territory gets the sea breeze direct. I have briefly outlined the reason for our success in berry growing in soil and climate. The third reason is intelli- gen
