Erom the proceedings of the Oregon State Horticul tural society in Portland as published in Portland papers lio one would suppose that the Rogue. River valley grew fruit of any kind. This section is entirely ignored in the proceedings, yet it is the Rogue River valley that has made tho reputation of Oregon fruit this year, both in quality and quantity, both for apples and for pears. President H. C. Atwell of Forest Grove, president of the Oregon State Horticultural society, advocates an an nual all-Oregon fruit display to be iicld at Portland. He mentions Hood River and Albany as fruit centers, but the Rogue River valley is not on his map. He thinks the dis play should be held earlier to "accommodate the pear man. Oregon pears are winning a great part of the glory which is making Oregon famous for fine fruit." Are they? Where do these peal's come from? Prom the Rogue River valley, which raises nine-tenths of the peal's of Oregon. Then why not mention it? "Why not give credit where credit is due? Did not: Rogue River apples win sweepstakes at the Spokane apple show against the world? Rogue River Spitzenbergs and Newtowns the highest grade commercial apples grown, win the first awards at Spokane? Rogue River valley pears win all the awards at the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition? Rogue River pears bring the highest prices ever paid for fruit in the world's markets? Rogue River ship more carloads of peal's many times, over than all other points in the northwest together in 1909? t Rogue River ship as many apples as all the rest "of Ore- J- J.1 a gun lugtjuutjri . "Why then is the Rogue River valley not mentioned when Oregon fruit growing regions are considered? , Itwas because of such treatment that local fruit grow ers withdrew from the state asscociation, and why they make no exhibit this year. , But the Rogue can make a display of its own, both in apples and pears, that will equal or excel any put up by the combined growers of the rest of Oregon. t i m FOLLY AS IT FLIES I PVaps.
