RURAL READERS WATCH FOR ------------------- 4*------------------- Large and Select Stock o f SPRING ADS IN AMERICAN o f pear in New York city which sold fo r $4300, the highest price ever re ceived fo r a single carload, the past season they sold 13 V* carloads o f Rogue river grown pears fo r an average price o f $6.61 per box at an ' eastern market. The total price re ceived fo r the 13 carloads was $45,920.05. The first record has never been equalled and the last and most astounding o f all marketing records will in all probability not be approached by any grower o f any other district fo r several years to come. The recent marketing record is significant in two respects. In the first place it establishes pears grown in Rogue river valley as having more nearly aproached a state o f perfec tion than those o f any other pear producing district o f the nation. It reveals soil and climatic conditions o f a most favorable nature and es tablishes the fact that cultural meth ods employed by the growers are o f a practical and scientific nature ex celled by the growers o f no other district. The second, but no less important feature, is that to break a national or world’s record in marketing a large volume o f fruit requires marketing facilities and a marketing organization which applies strict and intelligent business rules in the sell ing end o f the fruit game. The re cent feat o f Rosenberg Brothers, as well as the one« recorded in 1921, are not accidents but rather the re sult o f years o f persistent study o f the pear ftiarket. They have not trusted to luck or to chance to win this honor fo r themselves and Rogue river valley.— News. Th* Hale o f the ranch belonging to past few days. Mrs. CcClay and nephew have sold Mn».

Groceries MUSIC CLUB ENTERTAINS WITH SPLENDID MUSICAL PROGRAM The Ashland Music Study club is indeed an active organization and the members devote their club days to music study and to some splendid programs. The club listened to an especially grand music recital and program last Monday evening at the Presbyterian church. It would have been well fo r every one in Ashland to have heard the fine musical pro gram that evening. Mrs. J. Fuller, the president o f the club was unable, to be present and Mrs. A. R. W illitsl presided. The National Federation o f Music clubs, very strong in the United States is asking for fund o f $300,000 to be raised during Mac- Dowells week, March 7 to 14. The Ashland club voted to send $5 at the Monday meet. The program Monday night was on "Am erican composer,” and the chairman, Mrs. E. A. Woods, took charge. A t a very appropriate moment at the end o f the third program number, Mrs. Woods asked fo r any additional re marks. The story o f “ A Wild Rose” was told by Mrs. L. Hansen and after her splendid recital, Miss Berna Haight played " T o a W ild Rose” mqst beautifully. The story o f the pseudonym of MaeDowell, “ Edgar Thorne” was given by Rose Aiken. Mrs. Beebe told o f the $5,000 award jjiven Mrs. Ed ward MaeDowell, the American wo man who had made the greatest con tribution to the countrys artists ad vancement during the year 1923.
