; The above alliteration is borrowed from the article in this Salem
Slogan issue of S. II. Van Trump, Marion county fruit, inspector. !
"The "Willamette valley is the paradise of the pear. There are
many reason "why it should become the biggest and best pear orchard
on the American continent," says Mr. Van Trump.
And he gives a few of the outstanding reasons.
: Cheaper land for one thing land at half the prices for poorer
pear land; in other districts.
Fewer pear foes aiid more pear friends, for another thing.
Highest quality for another. ;
Harvest time opportune and no irrigation, two more.
But the big fact is that 50 per cent, of all the pear trees planted
east of the Rocky mountains die of blight before they come to bearing
aee. : , V V. , ';; ;
And pear blight affects either disastrously or hampers seriously of the yIeldIng of tne Briti8n g0Tern
all other pear sections but ours. 'i ment to the popular demand for rep-
The mild and equable summer climate of the Willamette valley reentative institutions
seems to' confer immunity from blight upon the pear tree.
Does the reader get that fully t
That, with ideal soil and Climatic conditions for the pear, nom
inates and elects by Divine ukase the Oregon Capital as the pear
capital of the world. i
That makes Salem the peerless pear center.
SYhat we can do better and more profitably than any other sec
tion, we are bound to do oh a large scale. ; . v
i This may take some time. ; " . X
-But the time should by all means be ma'de short.
L The markets of the world demand our best pears'and our princely
pear products at high prices, and, for our own good aud the good
of the whole country, we should set about to supply the demand
.. quickly. .
Mr. Van Trump points out that there are all over Marion county
pioneer , pear trees of, nameless and nondescript parentage 'that are
towering giants, hale, vigorous andven prolific J butj owing to the
quality of , their fruit, of no commercial value.
.He says all these trees should be "dehorned," and grafted into
Bartletts. He might have added the Bosc and the Clairgeau.
i Then these now useless orchard giants would add each year to
V the" growth and wealth of the country and the city and incidentally
to the bank accounts of their owners. . .
' . S. B. Coon, field manager for the Paulhamus interests; says the
canneries want more Bartletts, and of the larger sizes. But, as the
' reader "who follows all the articles an this issue will observe, Salem
can take all sizes; every pear has its uses here, at good prices.
TProf. C. I. Lewis recommends the Bartlett, Bosc and Clairgeau
as the three leading varieties for this district. He shows the high
priees' for .Bartletts for canning purposes, the money making per
sistency Of thej!lairgeau, and the outstanding primacy of the Oregon
Bosc; in .topping the fancy market. Our Bosc pears brought $ 6.85 in
the. New A'ork market last year. .
. And we can raise Bosc pears by the train loads, on land that is
now idle or all but idle.
. A most important other thing Prof. Lewis shows that the Bart
lett pear here is self fertile. It is not self fertile' east of the" Rocky
mountains.
' That, with freedom from blight here, makes two reasons for Sa
lem's certain ultimate primacy in the pear world hooked up to the
fruit manufacturing concerns heret that provide a certain market at
good prices. , :
The dehydration and pear butter demand guarantee the grower
against lossthey insure the use of all his by-products. The little

Indla has been granted a larger
degree of self-government. An act
"for the better government and
greater, contentment" of the people
has been passed by the British par

assent. King' George, in a proclama

the great historic bills. It "intrusts
elected representatives of the people
with a definite share in the govern
ment and points the way to a fully
responsible government hereafter."
A Londan correspondent attempts
to belittle the new form of rule by
calling it a sort of benevolent des
potism.
This cheap phrase is doubtless ex
tracted from the writings of

Dandruffy Heads
Become Hairless
If. you want plenty of thick, beau
tiful, glossy, silky hair, do by all
means get rid of dandruff, for it will
starve your bair and ruin it if yon
don't.
It doesnt' do much good to try to
brnsh or wash It out. The only sure
way to get rid of dandrnff Is to dis
solve It, then you destroy it entirely.
To do this, get about four ounces of
ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at
night when retiring; use enough to
moisten the scalp and rub it in gent
ly with the finger tips.
By morning, most if not all. of
your dandruff will be gone and three
or four more applications will com
pletely dissolve .and entirely destroy
every single sign and trace of it.
Yon will find .too. that all ItchJ
tng ana digging of the scalp ! will
stop, and your bair will look and feel
a hundred times better. Tow can
get liquid arvon at any drug store.
It is inexpensive and four ounces is
all you will need, no matter how
much dandruff you have. This sim
ple remedy never fails.
