Blueberries Being Brought To Area By Luther Tisdale Committee Lays Plans To Inaugurate Berry Growing In Area As part of the duties of the New’ Crops committe of Brook ings-Harbor chamber o f com merce, Luther Tisdale, last week, went to Olympia, Wash., to visit the blueberry nurseries of John Eberhardt. The Eberhardts, according to Mr. Tisdale, reported a demand for blueberry bushes to be enor mous. That firm is planing 100.- 000 slips for next year, to care for advance orders on their books at the present time. The Tisdales selected 60 hybrid plants to take to Brookings. The Golden Seal plantings of John Osborn, at Estacada, were next visited by the Tisdales. It was the same story' all over. A tremendous demand, greatly ex ceeding the supply of planting stock. The Osborns generously dug a dozen small, just planted Golden Seal plants, that the Tis dales might more to bring to this area for introduction. This committee has made an other discovery in the person of W. H. Bomhoff. living south of Harbor, who was. for a number of year, field man for the Wood burn cannery’ Mr. Bomhoff, in a statement to the Pilot some time ago, said that he couold se no reason for people of this area to confine their efforts to a single crop. He inferred that he could think, off hand, of a number of crops that would be profitable for growers of this area. About the time he resigned his position to locate here, he was offered a position as field man Kelly-Fahrquar Co., which is in the Coquille area making test plots of peas for canning, with an idea of developing that in dustry’ through that section.
