Arden Orchard Company Transforms Colville Valley
The Arden Orchard company expands a 800 acre tract near Arden in Colville valley. Three years ago land valued at $10 an acre now fetches $400 to $500. The firm, incorporated in 1909 for $75,000 with George S. Morley as major stockholder, plans four years of proper handling and irrigation on its own land. Expect 200 to 400 boxes per acre with 630 boxes as average, apples priced $1.25 to $2.50 per box, and a sizable payroll boost for the Colville area as long keeping varieties flourish.
