That tho Hoguo Itlver Valley will
bavu the best crop of pears In tho
northwest Is thojHtatemont made by
William Johmioujjof Wenatchee, who
has completed at) Inspection of all
tho fruit districts In Washington,
Oregon, and IdahL. Mr. Johnson is
working under tho direction of
Washington Stato Horticultural In
spector Whitney of Walla Walla, and
has paid several visits to this valley
this season.
In summing up tlio damage done
by tho recent wind storm Mr. John
son BtutcR tho loss will bo far below
one-fourth. "Some tirchardB were not
touched and others were quite badly
crippled," ho stated.
Ciood Pencil Crop.
One feature that surprised Mr.
Johnson was tho fact that there will
bo no inconslderablo peach crop in
tho valley. "I had heard that there
would bo no peachen hero and found
out that Homo orchards are literally
loaded. This Is a peculiar situation
to me as I am used to moating boos
ters who claim everything for their
sections and cannot show tho fruit.
Hero I find 3iioro than is claimed."
"Tho two things that I would re
commend for this valley to make it
perfect Is Increased garden truck and
less knocking by real estate- men. I
waH hero for qulto a whllo before
thoy found out that 1 wasn't aftor
an orchard and no less than seven
real estate men took mo around. Out
of thnt number thero were thrco who
spoko well of tho whole valley and
mado tho right sort' of Impression.
Tho rest boosted strong for their own
particular orchards and continually
knocked everything else. That is
tho kind that hurts a section and wo
havo weeded nil of it out In Wennt
cheo." Means Investors.
To havo ono of Mr. Johnson's ex
perience and knowledge speak so
well of thu valley moans much as ho
Is In touch with several Investors,
to whom ho will mako roport. Mo
is emphatic that tho ponr crop hero
la way ubovo any other In tho north
west and states that tho eastern crop
Is almost nothing and that tho Cali
fornia crop Is damaged almost C5
por cent by blight.
"Tho price of pears horo ought
oaslly to reach woll over ?3 or S-t, to
put It conservatively," ho Btated.
"Tho applo crop Is short and It Is a
flno year to havo a short crop, If
a short crop has to come." Mr. John
son has no patience with orchardlsts

states that propor euro makos such a
