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.

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
