M I MORE T ably no other fruit is more sensi tive to soil, climate and cultural practices than the pear. In all probability the commercial culture of the pear will continue to be centered in certain rather definite localities, that enjoy special ad vantages and that make pear growing more or less of a busi ness. General pear planting throughout" the state, therefore, does not seem advisable, but a moderate increase in plantings appears expedient for the districts that have established their fitness for pear production. . The General. Status . Figures show that during the past few years the pear has been extensively planted in the Pacific coast states and that commercial production is on the increase While there has been a decrease of 28 in the total number of bearing trees in the United States since 1909, there has been an in crease in the commercial crop of nearly 60. Owing to the rav ages of firebiight in the eastern districts, pear production' is be coming more and more a Pacific coast industry. California now has approximately 77,000 acres devot ed to the culture of this fruit. Ore gon has about 12,000 acres.

J Bruner's body-.crashe(l to- death.' was re covered by ' miners on tho crews tonight after eight hours'' work mm largely by" Kief fer' and other In ferior varieties, and for the most part he nows nothing about the pears of real quality. Of late years people have learned to. appreciate Bartlett to a' certain extent, but such pears as Anjou, Cornice, Bosc, and Winter Nellis, the sorts in which Oregon growers are largely interested, are still con sumed primarily by the foreign element in the large cities. (2) The trade must be taught proper methods of handling pears so that real quality may be pro duced. Consumers and the trade., also know but little concerning the proper handling of the pear. Newer and better methods of har vesting, shipping and storing must be put into practice. It is only by delivering a high grade product that the consumption of pears can be stimulated. (3) The list of commercial va rieties of pears must be enlarged so that the tonnage produced will be of greater diversity, and so that it can be marketed over, a longer period. Approximately 90 of the pears produced on the Pacific coast are of the Bartlett variety. This means that most of the pear tonnage from this region must be disposed of in a comparatively short time. Apparently, the late keeping sorts should be given more attention. (4) There is need also for new varieties of pears. The present list of desirable commercialvvarie ties for any. one section is com paratively small and needs to be extended. The work o testing out promising varieties under local conditions should be continued. Pear breeding experiments now under way should also be con tinued. (5) Cultural practices need to be improved so that higher yields and better quality may be produc ed. While in individual cases the yields of pears in Oregon are high the average for the state is far too low. This is true also of quality. Certain growers have established a reputation because of the quality of their pears, but a large portion of the state's tonnage each year is inferior in quality. (6) further study of pollina tion under local conditions is nec essary. From" the work in pollina tion done so far one may draw two conclusions. First, pollination is very important with some varieties of pears. Second, varieties behave differently under varying condi tions. Consequently, what may be true of pollination requirements in one district may not be true of an other. Pollination work to be ef fective with the pear, therefore, should be done under the same conditions that prevail in the lo calities where the results are to be applied. (7) There is need for more standardization in the matter of grades and packs. Thus far each pear district or the Pacific North west has interpreted the grading rules largely as it saw fit. It in clear that a more orderly and sys tematic disposal of the crop could X.0AKS Had On Good City Property tstr raU, euy payment plaa; ail paiA toy end of year. ' Taim loana, tart or amall tract.

Classified Ads Bring Results be made If grades and packs were more uniform. (8) More coordination is need ed between the various distribut ing agencies. The canning jtrade in particular has, in times' past, caused confusion in the marketing of pears. A few figures will suffice to make this point clear. In 1921, California canners processed 872, 396 cases of pears. In 1922. they processed 1,712,773 cases, while in 1923 their output dropped be low that of 1921. This. fluctuation in demand on the part of the can ning trade has worked a decided hardship on the growers, since in- many districts pears are grown primarily for canning, with no facilities for fresh fruit shipment. A careful study of trade require ments need to be made so that a more uniform tonnage of pears year-in and year out will find its way to the canneries. This, in the long run. will work to the advan-' tago of the canners and certainly will be welcomed by the growers. HENRY HAUTMAN; Corvallis, Oregon, Dec. 31, 1924. (Mr. Hartman is associate pro fessor of pomology of the Oregon Agricultural college. The above article, written for this issue of The Statesman, deserves careful attention on the part of all of our pear growers and those or our people contemplating going into the pear industry. Ed.)

Last Haven of Oldtimers, Salmon Fishing, Invaled By PoweP Ships By The Associated Press. SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. The historic windjammer salmon packing flotilla, which yearly' in vades tho icy waters of Alaska, is being steered into the Sargasso Sea of Oblivion by the Giant Steam. Displacements of the sailing fleet was begun by the use of two small steamers by one company this year. Next spring there will be more of them, and local ma rine officials doubt whether there will be a sail left on the Alaska run within two or three-years. Departure and return of the packing fleet have been pictur esque incidents on San Francisco water front many years. Most of the vessels go to far north Bristol bay, and they begin to leave the middle of March, sailing every day or two until all are on the way. The northward sail usually takes 30 days and often longer. The return from Bristol bay, made in September as a rule, often requires no more than 13 days. Favorable winds prevail, and there are currents that speed tho vessels southward. The crew and canners form a motley and colorful crowd. Near ly every nationality is represented and many a swashbuckling tale could bo written around the voy age. Fights galore have been recorded, and weary skippers have thanked their stars when they sighted the Golden Gate again. v It is a bleak, hard life for the men during the five or six months they are away, but there is noth ing to spend money for, and gen erally they return with their wages in their pockets. THE PEAR TREE -a BEARS INDEFINITELY (Continued from page 4) both for fresh shipment and for canning. Very large plantings of Bart Oregon and Washington and used letts have been "made in California and the northwest during the past several years.
