HITCHCOCK KNEW
OF ROGUE VALLEY
Through the efforts of Oregon's
delegation to Washington, all of the
cabinet officials aret becomius bet
ter acquainted with Medford and the
Rogue River valley. As an illus-
tration of this, Ralph Woodford, as-
sisiani posunasr speiu a aay in
Portland last week attending the
postmasters' convention, and while
there met Raymond H. Hitchcock,
postmaster general, who, when he
heard Ralph was from Medford, said :
"Oh. yes, I know of Medford and the
Kogne Kiver valley, inat is tne name
of the big red apple o.nd the world-
beatmg pears.
To Senator Bourne, who each year
presents the prominent men of Wash-
itigton with choice fruit from this
section, is due the tact that Medtord
is known so well in those circles.
PACKERS ARE TAKING
IT EASY JUST NOW
Just now the different packing
houses are are being held lip from Payne has sold five tracts in Payne
lack of fruit, since nil pears except land for $400 per acre. Fourteen
the late winter ones are shipped nnd blocks have been contemplated this
the bulk of the apple crop has not
come on yet. There aro prospects for
a good apple crop, the fruit being
uniform, of good color and of a fine
flavor. The rain has done wonders
to bring up the color of the fruit,
nnd the color counts quite a bit this
year. It will be two weeks, however,
before the crop is ready for the pack
ers. The packers seem to have a kick
coming. Tho fruit thnt reaches thera
is not culled and sorted and the
packers are much delayed by having
to do the extra work. Of course
some culling is done by tho ownor,
but not much attention is paid to the
color, which plays so important n
part just now in deciding quality.
Extra fine, fine and good fruit must
be Ya nud 1-3 red respectively.
