As part of the duties of the

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

Mr. Bomhoff, in a statement
to the Pilot some time ago, said
that he couold se no reason for

their efforts to a single crop. He
inferred that he could think, off

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
