While this is not yet a commercial fruit growing section,
there is far more fruit left to rot in the family ofchard than is
ever utilized and this isn’t saying anything about the thousands
of gallons of wild berries, which go to waste in the womLs every
year. If the wild berries could be made available to many places
in the I nited States they would command a good price. In
addition to the tons of berries left to rot in the woods. there are
apples, plums, cherries ami other domestic fruit left to fall to
the ground, because there is no demand for the fruit here.

Perhaps the average chamber pf commerce in Oregon has
been dilatory in telling the world about our air conditioned
climate. The Blue Cross states that the men of the state can
anticipât« a life expectancy of 64.09 or 1.28 more than the men of
