Request," the Portland, Jourm1!,
editorially commenting on the iv
cent action of the .Fruitgrowers
I,Coaue, in 'asking that protection
1U given ;i gainst any possible in
vasion of the Mediterranean fruit
fly sayu: , t
"No Florida fruits are wanted in
Rogue River valley.'. Folks there
are afraid of the Mediterranean
fruit fly which infests Florid -i
orchards. Tho Rogue .River Fruit
Growers league requests the Pa
cific Fruit & Produce company and
all chain stores and groceries in
Ashland Mcdford and Grants Pass
to brtip? no Florida fruits into that
district.
The orgn nidation also requests
the department of agriculture not
to extend the period which wonl.l
carry the Mediterranean fruit, fly
beyond February 1, 1930.' It
further requests that the depart
ment close Oregon at the earliest
possible date against Florida pro
ducts which endanger the Oregon
fruit Industry.
"There will be general sympathy
with tho action of the Rogue River
orchardtsts. They, have millions
invested in the fruit industry. They
do not want to duplicate in tlw-ir
valley the experience of Florida
with Iho Mediterranean fruit pest.
Xor should there bo one ipdividuat
In all Oregon who would want
that catastrophe to overtake the
Rogue River growers.
"At best, agriculture, whether :n
grain, orcharding, stoekraising -r
other line needs all the heip it can
get. It feeds the world, but th-1
world is not doing: a great deal for
agriculture.
"So when a fruit growing com
munity begs the small boon of b
Ing urotected against a devastating
fruits pest,, its petition, should ho
heard , and . heeded."'- Portland
