, .The pear industry like most any
otherHne of endeavor faces some
rather definite needs. A few; of
these needs will be brought to at
tention in this paper, but before
. considering these a few pertinent
t facts concerning the pear should
be brought to attention.
The Future Outlook '
Certain sections of Oregon are
especially adapted to the culture
of the pear, and the pear indus
try seems destined to continue as
one of the Important enterprises
"of the state.! It must be borne in
mind, however, that, the produc
tion of quality pears is largely a
business for the specialist. Prob-

us like the first pink of an opening rosebud. Every dollar spent for "OREGON QUALITY" products stimulates it into full and refulgent bloom. ' ;

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.
"Needs of the Industry
(1) The American consuming
public needs to be taught the use
of pears. It is a significant fact
that the. native American is not a
connoisseur of pears. His opinions
of the pear have been formed

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

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.

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.
