LILY FIELDS DRAW INTEREST
( ’OAST COUNTRY FOLKS who sec fields of sparkling lilies
as a portion of their every-day life "are missing something,
because they see them everyday,” according to a visitor this
week in Brookings.
The tourist who made this comm ent stopped in at the Pilot
office this week, and stated th at "he was am azed at w hat this
p a rt of Oregon has to offer in the way of scenery and in te rest.”
As the result of his visit here he learned a great deal about
w hat we in Oregon consider to be a norm al industry. To him
it was a thrilling spectacle to see field a fte r field of the most
beautiful blossoms In the world, all in fullest flower. He stated
th a t, like many other Californians, he had no idea that horticul­
to r« formed any part of our industry-.
His first intim ation that som ething like this was at hand
occurred when he crossed the sta te line and saw the lily fields.
Then upon entering Brookings, he was greeted by an a ttrac tiv e
young lady who presented his wife w ith a flower, and extended
an invitation to stop a while, visit, and see the big lily Festival
scheduled for the coming weekend.
This proved interesting enough th at he called at the Pilot
office for fu rth er information, and we were happy to oblige. We
found old papers in our files that described the m agnitude of
th is portion of our economic structure. One issue, published in
Ju ly of 1952 proved especially interesting because it reported on
a sjieech which I^eslie Woodriff made before the R otary Club in
Brookings
The article, well worth re-considering, points out the special­
ized, anti scientific work necessary in the selection of fine plants
th a t will meet the rigid requirem ents of the buying public. This
w’ork being carried on continuously by local businessmen is
aim ed at a perpetuation of an industry which we in this p art
of the S tate dejiend upon.
The article also attrac ted special atten tio n from the visitor
due to a statem ent by Mr. Woodriff which e.\plained his search
for a red lily, which could he forced in 30 to 45 days, and be
m arketed at Christm as.
We feel that once again, the benefit to be derived from our
Lily Blossom Time festival has been dem onstrated in the case of
this one tourist, who decided to spend a week in our com m uni­
ty. Not, as he put it "because he loves a parade, but because
it's different, spectacular, anti truly beautiful.”
