GREATEST PEAR
IT
With the greatest pear crop In the
Rogue River valley's history In sight
unless something unforaeen occurs
tbe orcbardlsts and business men of
the city and valley are rejoicing that
this vicinity weathered the cold and
frost threatening period early In the
week and came back to normal weath
er without suffering a damaging
frost.
The Yakima valley and Hood River
sections did not so escape, especially
the former, which suffered killing
frosts. The Yakima section last Sun
day, Monday and Tuesday nights and
mornings suffered a temperature of
from 13 to 20 degrees which means
much damage to the commercial crop.
In the colder parts of .the Yakima
valley all unfired t non-smudging)
orchards suffered a loss of 40 per
cent of a pear crop, and from 40 to 90
per cent of the apple blossoms were
killed. Including those blossoms not
opened enough yet to show color.
This Is Interesting In view of the
fact that some local orcharding claim
that such apple blossoms can stand
almost any amount of frost without
damage, despite the fact that Floyd
Young, tho frost expert, and County
Agent Cate have discovered here and
there In times pant some such npp'.o
blossom injured by frost.
The above figures on the Yakima
damage by frost are obtained from
Mr. Young, who Is in charge of the
government frost protection work In
'tho Pacific coast mates, and who Is
kept In touch with the Yakima sec
tion through his assistant stationed
there. , "
A stated before the Rogue River
valley pear crop promises to be a.
huge record breaker, on account of
the heavy set, the curly and late mois
ture In the ground and the fact that
so far there has been no frost damago
or blight or other trouble. If that
crop ., matures according to present
prospect and good (prices are ob
tained, the prosperity of the valley
for the next year is Insured. .Then
the followjng year the Medford Irri
gation system will bo In full working
order.
The apple crop of tho Rosue River
valley, however, will be short, as
there Is a light bloom caused by the
great crop of last year.
Uut the frost danger period Is not
over yet, and Messrs' Cute and
Young think that this period will last
until Juno 1st this year because of
the backward spring. In recent years
tbe worst frost dumage to the com
mercial poor and other crops was suf
fered May 11, with a temperature of
28 (degrees, and May 12, 1916, with
29 degrees. In Medford. This meant
a temperature of four or five degrees
lower In the lower parts of the val
ley. On May 21, 1918, a bad frost was
suffered at 30 degrees In Medford,
and on May 24 and 25, the same year,
damage was done with u temperature
of 31 degrooa.

(By the Associated Press) Prest
dent Charles A. Comiskey of the CM
cago American league White Box re
gards the recent legal action of Oscar
("Happy") Fetoch concerning the
1 J 7 baseball season as unworthy' of
any consideration whatever.
In a statement given to local
newspaper men at his summer home
in Eagle River, Wis., the veteran
magnate aald: "I consider the
Felsch charges too ridiculous to
answer as he la a ball player in bad
standing and unworthy of any con
sideration whatever."
Mr. Comiskey will return to Chi
cago Sunday, he said.
Meanwhile in Milwaukee his at
torney. George B. Hudnall opposed
the move of Felsch's counsel seeking
before Judge John J. Gregory In cir
cuit court today an order forcing
Comiskey to produce the books and
records of his club to determine back
pay. bonus and damages for forcing
Felsch out of organized baseball.
Notices of suit similar to Felsch's
in behalf of Joe Jackson, former
White Sox outfielder and "Swede"
Risberg, shortstop, were given yes
terday. Felsch's attorney crltlclxed Judge
Landis, baseball's commissioner, for
saying "no one will pay much atten

Makes Final Appeal.
GENOA, May 13. Mr. Uoyt
George aald a break up of the con
ference would send the Kusslann
home to a great population In tho
grip of famine and pestilence, who
would fear that the doors of hope
had been shut upon them with a
clang. Nobody could doubt, he aald.
that fierce resentment would ensue,
which would menace not only Rus
sia's neighbors, but the peace of tbu
entire world.
He proposed a truce on the basts
of existing frontiers leaving a final
settlement of the frontier question,
until the commission had finished It
work and definite treaties could b'j
signed.
lie emphasized that It was essen
tial, above everything else that th.:
Russians must be represented on the
proposed commissions, otherwise the
meetings would be merely a repeti
tion of the meeting of the experts oi
the Inviting powers, which had pro
duced the London memorandum and
this would b a waste of time.' "
"The truce must be reciprocal," he
said.
Foreign Minister Schanxer of Italy .
strongly supported the British atti
tude. - M. Barthou of France de
clared he saw a great menace In thi
proposition because of the opportu
nity for bolshevistic propaganda.
GENOA, May 13. (By tha Asso
ciated Press.) A the result of the
meeting oi me economic conference g
sub-committee on Russian affairs to
day the situation became o critical
that It seemed doubtful whether the
British and French positions could be
reconciled.
After the adjournment of the meet
ing which was taken at 1:15 p. m. un
til o o'clock, the British delegation
announced that "serious though
friendly discussion had occcurred.
M. Barthou, head of the French
delegation, declared at ihe meeting or
the sub-commission that France,
would not consent to having mixed
commissions on which the Russians
served, give consideration to Russian
credits, debts and the treatment of
foreign property- nationalized la Rus

opening the discussion, said the Rus
sian reply in substance showed tho
Soviet delegation wished to come to
an arrangement If possible.
Everybody, Mr. Lloyd George re
marked, had their difficulties with
public opinion at home and tt wa not
right .for other statesmen to criticize
thA unviet renroRAn titttnn Inn mvamIv
He said he thought the breaking up
of tha Conference because of the
Russian document would be serious
tor Europe and Asia.
M. Barthou of France, said that flvo
week of consideration of the Russian
question at Genoa had been without
result and It was unlikely thaw fur
ther consideration of them by com
missions named by the Genoa confer
ence would be useful. 1
The Russians had shown clearly, bo
sam mat mey wouia only late up
time with propaganda.
This conflict of opinion gave rise
to the serious doubts , as to whether
the two positions were susceptible ot
reconciliation.
Disagreement by France and Bel
gium with other countries regarding
the treatment of the soviet delegation
Is not a reason for dropping out, how
ever, so long aa there remains other
important questions to dtBcnss, It was
declared. Instructions were sent
along these lines to M. Barthou, head
of the French delegation at Genoa,
after the receipt ot yesterday's dis
patches, It waa added.
PARIS, May 13. -(By the Asso
ciated Press.) The French delega
tion will remain at Genoa to take part
lu deliberations on other questions
properly before the conference al
though It will have nothing more to
do with discussion of the Rusalans, it
was said at the foreign office thi
morning. As far as the Russian
problem Is concerned, tbe conference
Is considered by the French govern
ment at an end.
