T1IIC program of the Oregon State Horticultural' Society, which meets in this city Tuesday, confirms the prediction that this promises to be the most important meeting of pear growers the coimtry has ever seen. At similar meetings in the past the general field of horticul ture has been covered, from a district standpoint. Hut this year 20 out of 31 subjects oiiithe four-day program deal exclusively with pears: mid from the standpoint of the entire Pacific Coast, Vieluding California, Oregon and the standpoint of one district. As a result Ihe meeting should be marked by an interchange of ideas and experiences, which should be of genuine and last ins; benefit to the pear industry of the Pacific Coast as a whole. Willi. K the program committee has carefully avoided, plne- iiiir undue. enipliasis; upon the 'matter of advertising, this paper, at least, will lie considerably lis;yipointed if Ihe gather ing docs not result in 'a general agreement upon a pear adver tising campaign supported by the pear growers of the Pacific (,'oast as a whole instead of-by Oregon alone. ' ,. "'.. We realize there are many obstacles to the immediate com pletion of such an arrangement. Hut the benefits to the entire industry are so apparent that, it seems to us, at least a pre liminary step-could lie taken at this time, and various differ ences ironed out at subsequent meetings. ' .' The .success of the Winter Pear Committee" pi'ogrnin in De troit this year shows what can lie done in a small way, and points clearly to the great possibilities if it iijore extensive pro gram were supported by the pour industry ax a whole. . SOME MORE GOLF Till? decisive victory of Jack llueslon, Medford professional, over Walter llagen, former American and iiritish open champion, deserves a word or two of comment. ' ', True, ITagen was decidedly off his game citt'lhc' Sceoltd nine, but, to defeat the world 'st greatest compotitve golfer,' under any circumstances, is a feather in the? cap of any golfer, and Ilnestoii in every way deserves the congratulations he is receiving. Moreover, tliis'vicTory, in our opinion, comes at the right time. If ever :r'golfer has jbeen pursued by an uiiluucky jinx, the Medford pro has been. Always a good golfer, one thing and another has conspired. to' keep him from the jiosition iii Paeifie Coast golf to which bis abilities entitle him. ; 1 This victory' should: and1 probably will give him the en GOttragement he-needs, and the self confidence in competitive play that has in the past been lacking. Wo see no reason why Ifueston should not: go: far in the golf game, which will be a good thing for him, aiid n good thing for Medford. ' i 1 TIFIv contest" 'Friday brought out another irteresting point re garding this popular but frequently exasperating sport" namely, the importance of good physical condition. . ITagen was all square with' Hueston 0i the first nine,' and only one stroke behind him ill medal play. ' But on the seeond nine the "Great ITaig" played a brand of golf that was a de light to every duffer in the gallery. , i His tee shot on the 10th was a mile in the rough beyond the 'green, and he had to take. a 5 on a par 3 hole! He dubbed bis IfiM'.", HU s& hflrely made the hill a hundred yards ifway,, his second Vyas over the green, and be again had to take a-i).. .On. the 1.1th he was all over the lot, nnd had to take n 6 on par 4. He came in with an 80, on a course with a 70 par. "!'.''..'..'"..''! TUB answer was physical condition. 'ITagAii admitted it, 'ex plaining he had been obliged to stay up late to cateh the S. P. train at Eugene, and the Cow Creek curves had disturbed bis usual sleep. He looked like a million ''dollars, but-that was on the outside; he felt," he said, like less than 20 cents within. '.' They say golf is an old man's game, "it isn't. It's a young man's game. The only old man with n 'chance' is the nian who has kept himself in perfect1, physical condition,- and then the young :man will win, Other things being': equtil,' nine 'tildes but of ten. : ' " "' 1 ' '' And this' is 'it's it should b'c. A game that demands such per fect physical condition is a fine thing fnf 1 everyone participating in it. The more men and women who participate in the game ftlul take it seriously the better for all concerned.

Next door to the pavements of Ilroadway, alive with motors and ablaze with light, King Horse has once agnln set up his kingdom with the opening of the National Horse Ishow at Madison Square Garden.
