GERMAN CLUB HOLDS FESTIVAL 38 ATTRACTIONS ARE NOW BOOKED (HV P. .T- O'Gara.) My attention lias boon called 'o a letter published in the Mail Tribune Wilder tho heading "Wight A f foots. IvWfor lVnrs." This lot tor would bo most Interesting nnd iiwtrnotivo if it onnio from a source Hint might bo called reliable. 1 am imrsonnlly uo (iiaiutoiI with tho author of the letter, and know that he is not n patholo gist mill has had nothing to do with the problems, concerning whieh he at tempts to write upon. Like some mon even in onr own state, he has been in one plaee and has never been out of ii, ami would, therefore, not be considered as an authority upon whiuh one might, base perfect confi dence. But. the object in publishing the letter referred to was not to help the growers of the Itogue Itivcr val ley, but rather to discredit our local nurserymen who nro doing n legiti mate business and are carrying on an enterprise which is worth n great deal to us. Our nurserymen are not only growing pood stock, but they are living up to the law and do not take it upon themselves to dr.ig Hoguc River fruitgrowers into court in order to force them to pay for dead or injured nursery stock. The man who caused this letter to be pub lished has an ax to grind; in other words, ho is an agent for a nursery firm, and I do not kuow that he has anyporsonnl interest in this valley. I think it very poor iwlicy to cause a letter to be published without stat ing plainly tho motives for doing o. But that is neither here nor thero; the question as to tho blight resist ance of the Kieffer pear is what wc arc interested in. Personally 1 have had a$ an officer in the department of agriculture, more experience -is regards pear blight and tho relative resistance, of tho various varieties than any station man in the United States. It has been my business for a number of years to investigate this problem. I am not alone in what 1 wish to state that the Kieffer poor is one of the most resistant varieties wc have today. If it were not so, it would have gone with nil the better. European varieties which have long since disappeared from the southern states because of the ravage? of pear blight. As we all know, the Kieffer pear is u cross between the Chinese sand pear and one of the Europe.i'n pears. It possesses, therefore, the blight resistance of one of its par ent.shud this resistance is not a quuf ity which can be changed in one year us our informant would have us be lieve. I do not care to take up too much space, but simply wish to quote the following taken from a rejKirt by Frank N. Meyer, agricultural ex plorer for the United States depart ment of ugriculture, under date of March 25, 1911. Speaking of the Chinese pears, he says, "As a whole, huwovor, some of these cultivated varieties of Chinese penr will in the future prove to bo of very great "valuo to the American fruitgrowers who will use them for breeding hard ier, blight und scale resistant varie ties, the more'so, as wc can point al ready to our Kieffer, LeConte, Gar ber, and some minor varieties which M)jOss Chinobo blood in a greater or loss degree and which have made pear culturo possible in sections in the United States where the European varieties have utterly failed. We aro sorry to say that' as yet, there has been fouiul.no variety of pome fruit completely immune to pear blight. Personally I have worked with thousands of crosses made by myself, und other men, in the government service in order to find a variety wholly resistant ami which might be used ut a starting point for breeding. So fur wc have failed, and whether wo shall over Jiml a variety wholly resistant is prob lematic. If the man who caused the letter to appear in yesterday's paper is really interested in discovering u completely blight proof pear stook, ho will have to get busy mid change his present occupation. P. J. O'GARA, Pathologist in Charge. (Koto Thy above article refers to a communication published in Monday's ishtio addressed to duspor Gruwoll, M'u,df(rd, Mr. Gruwell represented himself as a fruit-raiser, mid the publication was imulo in good faith. Ilitd this newspaper known tho truth, that Mr. Gruwell was a nursery agent seeking to market his product, mid to depreciate tho product of lo cal nmories, it would not have limited (ho article.
