HIE PEERLESS PARADISE OF, THE PEAR
! V i The canneries of Salem packed the last season 145,000
'cases of Bartlett pears; an average of perhaps .-50. pounds to
t,the case, or approximately 7,250,000 pounds of pears; and
perhaps 60 per cent of them 24 cans to the case, and 40 per
a cent of them 6 cans to the case perhaps 2,436,000 cans pf
pears. Some pears, you may "tell the world." (j yj-. Li V
.. . Our Salem i district Bosc pears topped 1 the ; New :York
market in 1919 at ?685 a box; repeated the performance Jn
1920, at $7.38 a box, and our Anjou pears topped the Chicago
market in 1920 at $4.71 a box and $4.54 ior car lots. And our
"; Winter Nellis pears topped the London market in 1920 at
57.10 a box. .. - ' . . .-: i.V'v

; a t Prof C L Lewis, now managing editor of the American
' 4 Fruit Grower Magazine, one of the nation's best pear experts,

4 And he recommended our growers jumping into pears-
V " " And growing the Bosc, the Bartlett and the Clairgeau;
planting them 25 to 30 feet apart; putting two rows of Bart-
. letts, two of Bosc and two of Clairgeau : 'ii -Ml
: ,.,For while he thought the Bartletts were self fertile, and
abo the Bosc and the Clairgeau, in this soil and climate; still
there, was safety in. getting all to pollenize by setting a3 im
dicated -.r :r.:.,:::,; j-t . )X:
; 1 1 f 'And he said all three excel here ; all three bear early ;
bear at five years. :-:iyr;..s: ..y ; s'M
His advice was to use Japanese roots, grafted, to Sur-
prises-then the variety you want. ' This , is ideal. : But by
tirxn'tans the use of Japanese roots; they" are blight ; proof,
cold resistant and disease proof. Surprise- worked 'on the
JUnese roots, and then-grafted to Bosc, Bartlett or Clair
Greiu is the recommendation of Prof . Lewis -fbt safety ;
-y-And Prof; Lewis often said, 'while -himself a resident
and pear grower here, that Oregon ought to be growing ten
times, the pears she was producing, r , , i v i 1
The communications of this morning generally bear ut
the soundness of this advice y though one writer says there
Z is a great increase' of acreage coming-on, and.he. thinks the
'J matter of marketing in the future requires serious consider
( ation. -That is. the part of "wisdom; but the overproduction
is a good .way off yet and there will be no over production
if. the consideration of widening the markets gets the atten--
tion it should, and no. doubt will; ' . ' , ; & r j
' For Oregon is growing wide awake in this respect ; more
; .so than heretofore in all her history, r. - ' . J;
I t Eat that need not worry any one-just yet. The thing
? i3 to put out more , pears ; to put them but : right, and the
riht varieties, and to give them the proper attention. I
And it ought to be considered a disgrace for any one to
maintain a nondescript' variety. Graft them4 over into the

Great mountains and old cra

- One . of the queer things about
the moon is that its force of grav
ity is so small. ' In' ract, 1 there is
so little gravity that with no air
resistance. Babe Ruth could hit a
ball hard enough to make it sail
right off, into space ' and you'd
never see li again. , - .
. Another interesting : , thing
you've noticed -about tbe moon is
that it seems to, change from a
thin crescent to - a full moon.
What Jhappens li that the half
which the sun lights up shifts
from being In full view to being
out of slgh . The moonlight is
really f reflected sunlight, so that
when the vmoon, circling around
the earth,' passes between us and
the sun Its dark side rs toward us,
and when.lt gets on the' opposite
side of us we can see all. of the
lighted' half. ; V- 7 1

change In size, and the' moonlight
is really sunlight. A lot of what,

New Drilling Outfit Shipped
to . Gervais .to Work
4 East of St.; Paul
Following .the partial test at
the St. Paul oil well last Friday
when the circulating pump broke
down -and the ' test had to be dis
continued for some allgh 'repairs,
the machinery was started again
Saturday with, what 'seems to in
dicate' successful 'outcome. ' '
-After the drilllnr: was stopped
three weeks ago : on the striking
of oil, the last ;l0t 1 feet -of ;the
hole, the part below the eight
inch easing, filled ;iri. for a depth
of several feet, which eovered the
oil stratum Into whieh 'the oper
ators had barely cutil Friday they
pumped out all but ! about three
feet of this' sediment' before; the
pump failed. - At - the ' last they
were getting . a r. fine showing b of
crude oil, thought still;' seTeral
feet from the.' real oil 'stratum.
On Saturday, ffth.' the pump in
order, they: "put Jthe, Tptary 4rIH
dovfn - to. .the foil - ea&d proper to
possibly a fraction of a foot .be
low the other deepest rlerel, and
they go't oil in a' gratifying show
ing. ; It is not yet-a--commercial
oil well but the presence of oil
In material quantities seems to be
fully demonstrated. ' ?
The plan now. is j to i go deeper
'with a.; six-Inch pipe that will shut,
off all, the water that no w; comes
In at a ; higher leTel. With . the
water all shut off, the operators,
will be able to go j down deeper.
They are to use n : "standard"
drill rig hereafter, sT ''string-tool?
drill that works , by taUing the
heary chisel-bitted J tool a few
inches and dropping - it to cut. by
impact. The .concern . has - been
using a rotary drill, which is ef
fective as a .cutting' machine, .but
does 'not give anything -like tbe
close,- accuratei study of geologi
cal structure that can be gotten
with" a' drop' drill and a bailing
bucket after 1 every 1 few Inches of
CUt. ,, ... . r . . j ' .
Sb .well satisfied are the direc
tors . with the ' present showing
that it is understood they are to
meet .Saturday and. stop the sale
ot stock -at . the present prices.
What stock is sold thereafter will
be . at least double the . issuance
price. r'-J- , r;,; j
Another drill outfit .was Ship
ped In to Gervais J Wednesday to
be unloaded and set up at once
Just east of St. .Paul. VThe lessees
of a large acreage of lands.' after
following the progress of .the pio
neer well, have , become so " well
satisfied that they; are preparing
to 'develop entirely on their own
resources .and i sell .f no stock, at
all. Several other drill outfits
are promised in the very near fu
