The American nomoioglcal society,
nt its convention recently held at
Council muffs, Iowu, uwnrded the
Wilder medul to the Kalnier apple, ac
cording to a letter Just recolved by tho
Washington Nursery company, of Top
pcnlsh, Washington.
Tho Wilder menu! is the Nobel prize
of the fruit world. It was provided
for by a trust fund left in 1886 by the
late .Marshall P. Wilder, scientist and
nomologist, with instructions that It
was to bo awarded to a new fruit only
after exhaustive Investigation had pro
duced proof of that fruit's supreme
merit. .
Tho Kalnlor npplo originated In the
Yakima valley. It is a new yet an old
appla. . Old because there are at the
present time a number of trees In
heavy and continuous bearing. It Is a
new fruit in the sense that Its com
mercial importance, Its distinctive fea
tures and Its unusuully high quality
as a fruit have but rocently been ap
preciated nnd made known to tho pub
lic at largo.
Three boxes of the 192ft crop were
exhibited at the Washington State
fair at Yakima late In September,
1921, and the Rainier attracted much
attention and comment on Its unusual
quality and perfect condition..
Fruit of the Rainier picked during
October M12 was placed on tho toblo
nt tho banquet of tho International Re
frigerator Congress, Chicago, In Sep
tember 1913, in perfect condition.
The quality of the fruit much resem
bles tho Delicious but is of finer tex
ture' and better flavor. Tho Rainier Is
an exceptionally long keeper and does
not show a tendency to become mealy.
It is a dessert apple of highest order.

Thursday morning I received two
copies of tho Pacific Record Herald,
editor, Delbert Fehl, associate editor,
IJ. F. Lindas, In which is published
a part of a very readablo article by
tho editor-in-chief boosting Medford
as the center of the universe, which
was very proper, but then on the
next page was an anonymous article,
"Thoughts From tho Chimney Cor
ner." giving Medford such nn over
hauling ns if It was true, would make
those who live there feel a terrible
nnuHca of the stomach on account of
having to drink the water that Is
brought from Fish Lake after it hos
been spread over tho land above the
dam, 'that is, contaminated. After
the arrangements were mado to sup
ply Medford with pure water from
Little Butte creek it was discovered
that u company had practlcnlly pre
empted the water supply of Medford
and woh building a dam across Fish
Lako nnd when too late to remedy
tho evil the citizens of Medford dis
covered that ' tho dam was hacking
the water over tho adjacent country,
covered by "old barns, manure piles,
discarded garbage, decayed trees
and other vegetable matter and this
I polluted water was going Into tho pipe
tnnt supplied the city with drinking
wntre." In a short time after tills
was discovered a howl -was raised,
but soon tho administration in the
city affairs was changed and every
thing went on smoothly, but j now
thero Is another chaugo in the po-!
Iltlcnl affaira' of the city and who
knows put tho "Old Pioneer" who
wrote tho article may not bo nn old
soro head that has been disappointed
by tho election tho 7th day of No
vember. But nt any into tho pub
llcatlon of such nn nrticlo will not be
a drawing card for Modford. I sup
pose that the author thinus that he
can lildo behind a nom de plume and
go unsuspected, but "murdur will
out."
J. W. Hovcy tho niperlnteiidcnt of
tho Alavesta orchard, was In town
lust Wednesday and ropo.-l.i that he is
