Madsen Trm Editor, The Statesman 1 CORVALLIS, Nov. 6 A wild plum, the favorite of Indians, trap pets, gold-seekers and ranchers of the Pacific coast more than a cen tury ago. j shows " possibilities for developing f new horticultural in dustry In Oregon. This native Pacific plum is now under study at the Oregon State college agricultural experiment station, and information revealed here -today, indicates that it has fine possibilities for domestication. Further reports on its method of growth "Under cultivation and its uses will be made at the Oregon State horticulture society meeting to be held at the state college here on November 29-30. r Because the fruit of the Pacific plum is prized for its distinctive flavor when, made into jams, ei lies and preserves, the OSC horti eulturists have been, working1 to solve problems standing in the way of commercial domestication, A. M. Roberts, college horticulturist, re ported. A number of there prob lems are now believed just about solved. .. - Used by Indians The plum was first discovered, authorities believe, in 1836 or 1837 by Karl Theodore Hartweg. It grew most profusely in northern California and southern Oregon re gions and Indians ate the fruit ' yaw of looked and often dried con siderable' quantities for winter use. Zarly settlers of the regions re- aarded it as the most useful of the wild fruits of the coast and each had his own favorite thicket for plum picking. While the tree is most at home tast of the coast range from south' rn Oregon to central California, it appears to do very well in the Corvallis region, indicating that it might prove a useable fruit in the Willamette valley, Mr. Roberts stated.. ... 2f4 Free-Stone . Fruit ripens in late summer or early ' autumn. It is roundish or oblong, about one inch in length and borne on a short stout stem Color of the fruit is dark red or purplish. It Is well flavored but Is not a free-stone fruit. There ' Is some experimenting with cross es to maintain flavor and quality fa free-stone, slightly larger grvwing fruit. like other native plum species, the Pacific plum is an exceedingly variable one, said Mr.' Roberts, who has done much research work with this fruit. Some of the thick cts are made up of , dwarf shrubs from 3 to 4 feet in height and very dense. Others may be a group of trees 15 to 20 feet in height with trunks 8 to 10 inches in dia meter and resembling well-grown orchard trees. i - A number of small plantings have been made in the Willamette valley, but as yet there are.no commercial- plantings here. How ever, Mr. f and Mrs. ' A. E. Rugg of Lakeview have a commercial planting in that region, Mr. Rob erts reported,! and they are . be-: coming recognized authorities on the preparation of a fine plum preserve, he added. The recipe is not a secret, Mr. Roberts said today, as he told how it was made: f . "After removing the pits of firm plums, grind the fruit with a coarse knife. To eacnt four cups or piums add five cups of sugar. Mix well before putting on to cook, ana stir often while cooking. After the fruit reaches fa full rolling boil, cook about three minutes. Place in jars and seal." Police!, Fire Departments Hold Classes -. v I - .
