, Look for tho losor of tho articles
you hove found for a prompt ud
may snvo him a lot of worry.
A X 'ARTICLE in tho August number of Bottor Fruit
r' .relative to the packing of fruit contains some state
ments which certainly need correction. Tho sentence
"Most of tho pears are poor keepers, and relatively short
lived, ahd mature at a season of tho year when it is imper
ative that they have fairly rapid handling," is too general
a statement and is so misleading that no practical horti
culturist would make it. Tho article in question deals
with the packing and handling of fruits in the Pacific
northwest, and certainly when it comes to the growing of
pears it is recognized that southern Oregon, and especially
the Rogue River valley, is the great northwest pear dis
trict. A statement, therefore, which would put most of
our pears m the class of poor keepers, is not only unjust to
our fruitgrowers, but to the institution from which this
statement emanates.
It is a well known fact that most of our pears are good
keepers, and are not so perishable as the author of the
article would have us bclicvt. As a matter of fact, even
our IBartlctts, which arc not considered as amonir the best
beepers, have been kept in local storage until tho holidays.
But we do not wish to "blow our own horn"; wo will simply
snow by tho following statement what disinterested per
sons havo to sa.v in regard to our peal's. A letter from Pro
fessor G. II. Powell, acting qhief of bureau and in charge
of pre-cooling and storage experiments for the "United
J States department of agriculture, addressed to Mr. O. 13.
Whisler, Medford, Oregon, under date oi June 14th, 1910,
nas tins xo say:
"You arc correct in supposing that the pears sent to
us for storage experiments 'have passed to tho Great Be
yond, but it was only the 25th of May that wo turned off
- last one. A report on them should have been made im
mediately after that date, but it has been overlooked in
nv rush of work. Ave thank you for calling our attention
to this matter.
"In order to give jou in the most concise form tho full
est report possible on this fruit, I am sending you copies
ot nur notes made on the same. The irmt was stored with
the Merchants7 Refrigerating company of Jersey City, N.
J., at a temperature of 32 degrees, and unless otherwise
specified, inspections were made at the storage house. At
tho time of several oCIhe later inspections it wis imprac
ticable to inspect tlie fruit at Jersey City, and some of the
boxes were withdrawn and forwarded here (Washington).
"As iniglit bo expected of the three lots oi Bartletts,
the one stored at the earliest date, August 31st, held for
a longer peripd than the others. In fact, the third lot,
stored on September 17. was in practicallv the same con-
ditiori October 2 as the lot stored August 31.
"The final inspection of Buerre d7Anjou was made
February 5jthr when the fru.it was in prime condition for
Jimihediate consumption. This inspection was made here
ana tlie fruit was held in a warm office for five days long-
erf when it was still in prime condition and of fine qual
ity. Some of the spots which had been bruised in express
shipments had begun to soften somewhat. At this time
the fruit was distributed about some of the bureau offices
and was greatly appreciated by all.
"Tlie last two boxes of Bosc were forwarded to this
office April 5th -when the fruit was still in fair condition,
the flesh being quite firm, only slight shriveling being no
ticeable. One box was lininpdiately sent to Center Market
cold storage and was held there at a temperature of 32
degrees until May 25th. TJie only change noticeable after
this later period of storage was a slight increase in decay
and the appearance of scald on a few of the fruits. The
other box, which was forwarded here April 5th, was held
in a warm office eight days when the fruit was past its
commercial season, soft spots, having appeared, and prac
tically all of the fruit on the outside layers of the box be
ing shriveled, especially around the stems. The inspection
of a box of Claircreau forwarded here from Jersey City
February 5th showed the fruit to be still firm and green
and not j'etat the limit of its commercial holding. Owing
to the press or other business, wq were unable to make
anotner inspection ot tins fruit until April oth. A great
share ot it was still hard and green, but considerable de
cay was showing, some mold was on the stems and slight
shriveling of the slrin.
, 'At the inspection of February 5th tho boxes of Co
mice wero in about the same condition as Clairgeau except
that thpy were higher colored and more nearly ripe. No
further inspection of this fruit was made until August 5rji,
when fruit from a box forwarded here from Jersey City
showed up fair jn quality, but otherwise was in good con
dition, no shriveling or scald being present and only vqry
slight decay being found in a few bruised spots. As. a
whole this fruit showed up to very good advantage, and
from our standpoint wc consider the results obtained to
amply justify the experiment."
It must be understood that all the above fruits which
Professor Powell experimented with wero taken i'roiji
commercial shipments handled in the ordinary way. There
was no pre-cooling, nor was the treatment otherwise than
the ordinary care" given fruit by the ayeragc orchardjst
in uiu vauey. j. gianco at; tno nates wnen these peal's
were taken from storage will show that the ability of our
Rogue River pears to stand, up in storage is quite equal
to that of most of the red varieties of apple's grown in tho
Pacific northwest. As ,a, matter of fact, apples ot tho red
varieties grown in sections north of tliis district have lit
tle lead, if any, over our pears, so far as keeping qualities
are concerned.
We really do not understand how the author of the
article referred to cpuld have so misstated tho facts unless

In regard to the publishing of slate
inentR ncorodtited to him Mr. Van
Dyke has issued the following state
ment :
Van Dyke's Auimrr.
In n recent issue of your daily edi
tion of tho Mail Tribune 1 notice I am
quoted n Haying that I hao no in
tention of enforcing the fishing laws
ot tho state of Oregon as applied to
Rogue river. I desire to sny that you
linvo dono me n great injustice 'n
the making of this statement, man
much ns I never have mailo any such
nsHcrtion, nml nny misguided pnrty,
who has ipiotcd mo :h making the
snme, certainly is incapable of under
standing the English language.
I have never refuted to prosecute
any case which wns brought under
any criminal stnlute of the state of
Oregon and havo mado uo exception
to this rule in prosecutions under the
fish nnd jjnmo laws. I desire to state
further that every time Mr. Sundry
hns reported u case to me of n viola
tion of tho fishing laws, 1 havo
promptly cnttcd n complaint to be
Issued and u prosecution to follow in
iireoniiincc therewith in the loe-il
courts. Kvcry eomplnint, wldel, Mr.
Sundry bus filed, has been followed
by n conviction and sentence by the
court.
Ah nn attorney at law nnd a den
lity district attorney for the firt
prosecuting attorney district, I ap
preciate very fully the imoprtnnce of
u strict prosecution of the violation
of nny law existing on tho statute
books of tho stnto of Oregon nnd the
evil cricet on tho body politic, which
the wipjwrt of the lawlessness en
genders. It is not only my duty, but
my desire, to see (hut tho violntion
of nny criininnl ,w of tho stnto of
Oregon i promptly ptoRceulcd nnd
punished.
A Private Think.
Ah nil individual citizen I have mv
opinion concerning the justice or the
fishing laws as they apply to Rogue
river, and have never hesitated to
say nor do J hesitate now to make
public, my belief that the dosing of
uoguo mor to 4-ommoruiul fishing
has been a great injustice to (Irnnts
1'ass mid its surrounding territory,
and that no good and valid reason
can bo shown for tho passage of the
law so olosing lliis stream. I believe
that Uiu passage of (ho law w.ns
prompted by petit malice nnd ioal-
ousy nmHbat n broad spirit of com
ity exmting between tho people pi
the different sections of the slate of
Oregon would havo prevented the
passage- of such a law.
However, inasmuch n thn said Inn;
Iras been passed and is noiv ono of
the criminal statutes of the slate of
Oregon, I shall use every effort H-itliJ
in my power to oiilurvu the sumo and
shall prosecute nny violations of the
same, which nro repot led to (ho dis
trict ntloriioy'H ofl'ico in Josephine
county. Mr. Sundry nnd his nsHmd
ato game wardens und water builif's
will receive just ns fair a consider i-
tion within this county us liko offi
eorrf receive in nny other county of
tho stnto.
