History Will Include John VanPelt
]
John VanPelt, a pioneer of this area, who lived in a quiet way
all his life, who valued his word being as good as his bond, has
bid adieu to the scenes of his childhood, leaving friends who will
not soon forget that friendly face, that quick wit, and that gen
uine love of mankind which he was so willing to give and show.
When the history of this area, and southwest Oregon is written
in H.il. the name of John VanPelt is likely to be prominently men
tioned in many places, for his father, for whom his was named,
came to Corry county in 1853, became a part of the building of
the west where he left his descendents.
Maybe John VanPelt never did anything to blazen headlines on
the press of the country, but he had accomplished much in a sec
tion which .was little known to the outside world. John VanPelt
reared his family in a way which speaks for itself. He did his
part in all things just as much as if he had been a statesman.

In a democracy there always is and perhaps always has been
tounding rate and extent. However, to the Pilot there is one ray
of sunshine, hope as it were, that the upward trend is about to
be broken, changed right here in the state of Oregon.
Oregon is one of the few remaining states in the union which
has most of its resources yet untouch, yet to develop. None, fori
that matter, have been actually developed to any great extent. |
At this same moment, too, Oregon is faced with and experiencing
a problem of immigration, likes of which has never beet, seen in
the history of the nation, not excepting the first settlements in the
west in the middle nineteenth century. This deserves thought.
Oregon’s resources, as yet quite undeveloped, and in many cases,
untouched, are being faced with exploitation, faced with ruin, un-'
less careful consideration is placed on the handling of these re-
souices to do the most good to the most people.
i
Oregon citizens are urged to study a forthcoming measure to
create an Oregon “Resources Board,’ under which all resources
will come to be devolepd correctly, to be used with wisdom.
The Pilot urges its readers to obtain a copy of this proposed
measure, study its contents and at the coming general election in
November to act in the way which will bring Oregon into its own
in the world’s economy by voting for creation of this resources
board for the people of this great state. More will be said of this!
Bulb Growers Are “Business Men“
The Pilot was reminded, last Wednesday evening, of a definite
change to the good being experienced in this area, when the bulb'
growers of three states met in the first quarterly meeting of Pacific;
Bulb Growers Association. The Pilot noted these things:
Today, bulb growers see the value of uniting, of planning, of1
their
and nlarting stock.
The growers today seek more and more the now methods of
bulb culture better to produce the best product.
Bulb growers today see tht side of the florist and are now striv
ing to breome his “fellow-worker.’’
Growers toda> think more in terms of economics and reasearch
i ntheis business, so as to produce the crop at a point nt ai (
the peak, yet within reach of the common people.
Pacific Bulb Growers Association has accomplished almost the
impossible it has unified the industry and will keep it free from
exploitation. Better floriculture will be the goal.
Gone is that individualism that wrecked the industry in 1917.
and in its place has risen stability, has come a business.
Florists ail over the world should be proud of the association,
and should cultivate its acquaintance henceforth.

PAGE TWO ...The World’s Best Climate
By Dewey
People on their knees, follow
ing long rows of lilies, seems to
be the picture one sees while
driving about the area these days
—after more than a week of rain
less skies. Rains of the past few
months have made everything in
the ground grow out of hand.
It will be no small task to over
come this head start.
Lilies, and other floral crops
of the area now seems to be
stabilized so that I personally
predict that the state and the]
entire west will soon look to this
immediate area for its flowers—
especially in the winter. Growers
in this area, now, are more in
clined to work as a unit than
they were a few years ago. It
is therefore my prediction that
flowers will become a million
dollar crop in this county soon.]
I was more than gratified lasti
Wednesday evening to note the
new harmony existing among the
bulb growers of the three west
ern states. Washington, Oregon
and California. It was refresh
ing to see how each accepted the
problems of others as problems
of their very own. To me that
means that stability has come
to stay, and to grow.
/ noted, too, how everyone in
the industry was interested in
maintaining a certain production
scale, how all were so interested
in the improvement of the floral
crops, and how the group was
tryiing to understand the prob
lems of the greenhouses and the
trying to understand the prob-
of this area. I am confident now,
that there will be a unity and
eventual big growth of this area.l

We Can Have A Real “Show Place“
The Pilot looks forward to the work of landscaping of the local trass
school grounds, under guidance of Azalea Garden (. lub, and of the
add<'d beaut\ it will bring to tins community. It is with much H
anticipation that these columns speak tor a co-operation of all
■
residents of this area to give, either in labor or in money.
In this section where floral exhibits are up tor 12 months each
year, the local school grounds could easily become the county’s
great “show place.’’ Paul DeBlock is noted tor this artistry in HH
landscaping This, no doubt, will be his masterpiece.

The present barren school yard will, alter this work is complete, IP
become a park like one is likely to see in Portland, Seattle or
any metropolitan city where money is lavished freely to accomp- i
lish. Here, the great task will be arrangement the plants are'
alreadv here in profusion. Don’t you feel a thrill, too?
