He found time to write rom Eugene headquarters In this hare been planted on the Pacific oast for the present." In general, that is good advice t is surely good advice to the Cal- fornla growers, where they pay '800 or more an acre for raw ear land, no better than our pear and here in . the Salem district hat may be had at $50 to $200 n acre; and where we do not tare to fight the pear blight and ther pests like they must do in snipping fresh about as many tons. California must be far .ex ceeding that pack; did far exceed it last year; packed around five to six million cases; and Califor nia ship-around 60 per cent 'of her tonnage, and dries five to ten per cent. What Mr. Holt Said . At the Medford meeting of the Oregon State Horticultural soci ety, in 1925, Mr. Holt, said among other things, speaking of the pear industry: "If the situation is bandied in telligently I do not see any cause for alarm, but we must do a few things better than we are doing them now. Our grades for packing, canning and drying should be na tionally standardized, rigidly en forced and done with the utmost economy possible that the consum er may get the product at a price that she can afford to pay and a price that will incline her to re peat her purchases. "While it Is not possible to dis regard the law of supply and de mand, I believe the growers, pack era and canners are becoming well enough organized, sufficienty ac lion gathered by the experiment station and the Oregon committee on electricity In agriculture. Ec onomic application of electric power to farming operations will be taught in lectures and demon strations. j Oregon bankers will " be there only two days, Monday and Tues day, but during that time they will take part in a comprehensive program designed to give them the latest information on the ec onomic aspects of farming opera tions in the state as found in all branches of the Industry. The seventh annual canners' school will be. February 6-25 when the usual Intensive course covering fundamentals as well as new developments will be given by the division of horticultural pro ducts. This course annually at tracts large numbers of commer cial canners and their employees. FARM REMINDERS FROM THE 0 .1.

These things being admitted is it not en tirely feasible to standardize pri ces as well as grades? If the prices of canning pears, for Instance, could be held at not over $10 above or below $50 per ton for first grade and the canned prod uct held within similar limitation, consumption would increase enor mously and pear growing would become a business rather than a vorks, , for he grows Bartlett ears; good ones, and makes a irofit on them.

Requesting board of trustees of Health conditio ns generally throughout the world were better during the year ended June 30, 1927, than for any previous year on record, according to the sur geon general's report j recently transmitted to congress, a copy of which has reached ; the Marlon county health demonstration here. The first half of the year was characterized by unusually low death rates in foreign countries. The most serious condition that Interposed to prevent even, lower mortality rates in Europe: was the epidemic of influenza which af- Jfected a considerable area of that I part of the world. ; j Bubonic plague, which, by rea son of its wide geographic distri bution and the method: of its spread, remains one of the major quarantinable diseases, continued to be pandemic, but was less prev alent than in other years. The health of the People of the United States was generally good during the year, as compared with preceding years. The death rate for all causes for the calendar year 1926 in 28 states was 12.1 per 1,000 population; This was slightly higher than the rate for 1925, which was 11.7. The in crease was probabjly.; je.Y' BV juratory Williams whereby Williams agrees voluntarily to pay into the assets obJections to the agreement must ously asserted that they were li able because of their official con nection with the bank. While the six were directors when the bank failed, Williams had not been a director for some time prior to that. At one time he was president of the bank. The voluntary contributions are of fered to satisfy all the disputed claims. Since the bank was operating under the old banking law the stockholders are not subject to double liability. In the liquidation of the bank's asset? the state banking depart ment has paid dividends amount ing to 35 per cent on savings de posits and 18 per cent on com mercial deposits. The petitions were filed by Schramm through W. L. Taylor, deputy superintendent of banks in charge at Tillamook, and after they had been submitted toi H. T Botts, one of the directors and their attorney, and to II. H. Ros enberg, chairman of the deposit ors' committee. Botts and Rosen berg agreed to this compromise. Judge Bagley ordered that any of the bank the sum of 17625 The other contains an agreement between Schramm and the six oth er stockholders who were directors of the bank when it was closed last March. Under this agreement the six voluntarily offer to pay a total of $7625, the same amount offered by Williams, making $12, 250 in all, or about 4.6 per cent of the bank's deposits when it closed. This was $325,000. The six men' signing this agree ment are D. Fitzpatrick, T. W. Lyster, M. Abplanalp, William Maxwell, James Williams, and H. T. Rotts. Wililams and these six denied that they were liable to the bank. But some of the depositors. creditors and stockholders vigor- be filed with the court by Febru ary 6.
