NO OVER PRODUCTION OF. PEARS
There is a warning out concerning the
over production of pears
But if you will read the interview of
Marion County Fruit Inspector Van
Trump in this issue you will get some light
on this matter that will probably dissipate
your fears, if you harbor such fears-
If you have good pear land in trie Salem
district.
The fact that this is the pear paradise;
that pears here have more friends and
fewer enemies than any other district in
the wide world, and that godd pear lands
are cheaper here than elsewhere,, in., this
country
This fact destines Salem as the pear cap
ital j
Sooner or later. Every industry will fol
low the lines of least resistance, in the long
run.

DID YOU KNOW that Salem is the center of the best pear
growing country in the world; that the Bartlett is partly
if not wholly self fertile here and no where else; that pears
here and no where else are practically free from blight; that
our pears have topped the New York, Chicago and London
markets; that there is at conservative estimates room for
ten times the present pear acreage hereneeded badly for
canning, shipping, dehydrating and making pear butter;
that one of the best informed men in the United States has
said that now is the time to jump into pear growing; that
there is good money in it and it will not likely be overdone;
at least that it will not likely be overdone in this pear para
dise by the right growers with the right lands and the right
varieties?

4 Editor Statesman:
Pear production in Oregon dur
Ving the pastfew years has been
an industry accompanied with very.
. satisfactory", returns to growers of
thls fruit;. particularly is this true
j; of the higher quality winter varie
ties. J The .. comparative , retarns
I made by this commodity hare, been
mnch greater than bur other well
I known fruits, ' such as ' apples,'
prunes, loganberries and 'the like.
Relatively, higher returns have al-
.1 so prevailed, in ' both California
suiting -from "these returns is the
, one that 'would be expected, namV
i ly. 'greater stimulation.' in the
f . further planting-' of pears. ' The
ri anticipation resulting from this
activity In California alone which
is the .leading " pear producing
Estate of the Union is that of
k' more than doubling the present
proauction wunin tne next lew
4. years. Increasing acreages in both
i Oregon ! and ashington will
doubtless increase the output of
t these states in a short time to
51 twice, the-present carlot ship
ments... Returns that are being
made in the light bt present pro
duction in the United States
whkhr ranges from 14 to 19 mil
lien bushels per year, would. seem
to warrant tha.t, jturter. produc
tion Is entirely .lusjlifUljle. .but. to
what eixtent .LbJa . expansion can
occur and At. the. aam time .hrlng
a satisfactory return lo.the pow
er Is - an ': ualuvowa . factor. . This
matterk should -. - be given serious
thought by all -fruit growers who
are contemplating the -planting of
peaty at the- present- thne.- Sup
ply and demand 'governs ' the - re
turns that can Ibe expected from
pears In the' same-way that It reg

ties. 1'

In the case, .of . apples. If It Is
not over production : Uwt is con
tributing to. poor, return being re

production, the handling of which,
present methods of distribution
and selling, are inadequate. Ap
ples also are a much more, widely

of pears, and; doubtless we -would
experience a" much more extensive

A .Matter of Vacation .
The extent, of present plantings
Indicate that producers must take
some steps to educate the public
up to a point of consuming more
pears' in order to take care of the
increases that are bound to follow
when the non-bearing trees of the
present begin to produce. Good
quality pears such as the Bosc
and' D'Anjou are unknown to the
bulk of the consuming public of
America, rears- io most peepie,
with the exception bt the Bartlett
of course, mean a hard, gritty,
tasteless fruit that has no place in
the diet. One is impressed with
the cause for this condition exist
ing by looking over the-assortment'
in some of our large mar
kets, like that in South Water
street, Chicago, where the assort- J
ntent Is lurirplv hArrelorl totfpra I
or Keifers in small baskets selling
at a relatively low figure. The
fruit is not good to look at and if
the purchase is made the buyer
takes this home and discovers the
fruit to be something of the order
described above. One purchase of
this character usually suffices. The
natural (consequences are those of
curtailing pear consumption, and
It is this very thing that producers
of Quality pears must take cog
nizance of. Some means must be
devised to stimulate the consump
tion, of our better quality pears if
we are going to be able to keep
consumption and demand up to
the supply.;
! Pleased with Our Pears
The writer annually sends 15 or
20 boxes of d'Anjou pears through
out the country. The very pleas
ing remarks that are returned in
dicate that the fruit has a very.ae
cided merit and would be readily
acceptable by a large percentage
of our popultion if they only knew
something about them. If pear
growers in the northwest would
do a! little advertising of this sort,
In. the aggregate it would greatly
stimulate the demand for our win
ter varieties. It is a form of ad
vertlsing .that will get results as
no Other method can, and at the
same time the cost 13 not exces

M We Grow Fine Pears
Many sections of Oregon grow
fine pears. Every section should
grow those varieties best suited to
their: local conditions. In the
Rogue River valley,! the Bosc has
proved to be the pear of excel
lence in that section, followed by
the d'Anjou and Bartlett. In the

The state flax plant, at the Ore-

Hood River valley, the d Anjou
doubtless will always be the most
popular variety. The yields are
fairly heavy for this variety. It
is a hardy tree and the fruit, be
cause of a relatively long storage
life, is a very desirable commodity
to handle. The Bartlett, due to
the fact that the fruit ripens very
late in this section, enjoys a late
fresh fruit market which is not
available to many Bartlett grow
ing districts. This has been a
very important factor during some
seasons. The Bosc also does well.
but probably not to the same ex
tent of excellence as obtained in
4he southern Oregon districts.
Freedom from Blight
The Pacific coast states enjoy a
freedom from pear blight not
found to exist in many middle
western and eastern fruit growing
sections. Nevertheless, there are
sections where fire blight gives a
great deal of trouble, and where
such i3 the case it is doubtful
whether pear culture would prove
to be as remunerative as the grow
ing of some other fruits. How
ever, the big problem of the fu
ture that face3 the pear Industry
is really that of production rather
than cultural methods. Undoubt
edly there is considerable room for
an expansion of this industry, but
at the same time it should take
place in a sane, orderly develop
ment. Expanding markets, with
a popularisation of the fruit must
take place as production increases.

That there are no better -fowl?
produced anywhere in the United
States than right here in Oregon
and the Pacific northwest has I
many times been demonstrated in
the past few years as a result of
the showing made by thase Pacific
northwest birds in the national
egg laying competitions and the
big shows of the middle west.
The latest record made by Oregon
birds were the winnings of George
Davenport, of Oak Grove, on. his
Single Comb Rhode Island Whites
in the recent Omaha, Nebraska,
show, where was held the annual
meet of the National Rhode Is
land White club in conjunction
with the regular poultry show,
and thire were Over 200 Rhode
Island Whites entered in this com
petition representing many states,
with an entry of only five birds
in this big national shout Mr.
Davenport -received three prizes,
as follows: first prize cock, sec
ond priz hen and third prize pul
let, after his pen of birds had tra
veled half way across the contin
ent. At the big California state
poultry show following, which was
held at Oakland, Mr. Davenport
was awarded 1st cock, 1st hen.
1st and 2nd pullet and the Ameri
can Poultry Association purple
ribbon for best female in the
show. At the International Live
stock show, Portland, he was
awarded 1st 2nd and 3rd cock

strong competition.
- Another Oregon Winner
E. R. Stromquist, originator
and breeder of the Majestic strain
of Single Comb Buff Leghorns.
Tigard, Oregon, has just received
returns or a report on the pen of
Buffs which he entered in tne
Heart of America Poultry show at
Kansas Cjty, Missouri, recently
At this show was held the nation
al meet of the American Buff Leg
horn club, in connection with the
regular show, there being 11 ex
hibitors of Buff-Leghorns repre
senting seven 6tates. In this red
hot confpetition; the Oregon Buff
Leghorns entered by Mr. Strom
quist wore awarded 2nd cock and
3rd cockerel which is considered
unusually good winnings owing to
the handicap of the long ship
ment to this show from Oregon.
Mr. Stromquist's Buff Leghorns
also making an excellent showing
in the Western Washington egg
laying contest at Puyallup, Wash-
where his pen led all other Buff
Leghorns entered in this contest
at the last report for the month
of November, there being entries
from four different states. This
shows conclusively that he has

In his annual report, Secretary

which have been made against the

says, "an increase of 76 was
made in the number of herds of
cattle officially accredited as free
from tuberculosis., At the close of

such herds, comprising 61a, 156

winter season.
Don't encourage roup and colds
in your flocks by hiving leaky

houses. Draughts cause colds,
and houses with leaky roofs arc a
disgrace to their owners.
Don't allow the curtains to open
houses to become clogged with

avoid a dirty and muddy condition
when it rains.
Don't forget to feed a little
mgro liberally of corn in the ra

of the year the birds need it .
Don't think that advertising
alone will sell ypur surplus stock;
it only puts yon in touch with

breeders grow good stuff, but fall
down badly cn the selling end of

Don't let people tell you that
mongrels or cross-breds are ; of
equal economic value with pure

to beginners; The pure blood oc

value peculiarly its own.
Don't forget a little tonic to
tone up the system in cold wea

Don't imagine because some one
wins all the prizes at a poultry
show that he is necessarily j the
"whole thing,'' as applied to his
breed. Some people "win" with

Don't forget exercise in the wet
season. The Utter in the scratch

should afford every opportunity
for the birds to earn their board

Don't handle your birds rough

while in their presence. Remem

number of eggs.
Don't kill poultry when the
crops are full of feed; full' crops
