CALIFORNIA PEAR E ANNOUNCED Growers' Association Will Ask $25 Ton for Wo. 1 Canning Bartletts Scale Downward to $10 Pick ing Starts Week July 12 The California Pear Growers' as sociation has set the prices for cannery Bartletts for the coming season, the prices ranging from $20 to $10 per ton, according to grade. Local shippers and growers yester day received the 1931 price bulle tins. It was also decided that all can nery Bartletts must he 2 inches or larger In size. No word was re ceived whether or not the canners were accepting the schedule and buying on the quotations. . The prices are as follows: $25.00 per ton Sacramento river, Lake and Alendocino counties for No. 1. $15.00 per ton Sacramento river, Lake and Mendocino counties for No. 2. $20.00 per ton Contra Costa and Suisuin counties for No. 1. $12.50 per ton Contra Costa and Suisuin counties for No. 2. $18.00 per ton Coast coun ties, Napa, Santa Clara, etc., for No. 1. $10.00 per ton Coast coun ties, Napa, Santa Clara, etc., for No. 2. The California pear growers' prices have long been used as a partial basis for valley prices. The California Bartlett picking and shipping season is scheduled to start the week of July 12 and the crop Is reported to be short of the larger slfes. The local Bartlett season Is ex pected to start between July 23 and July 28 and the pears are siz ing well, due to the June ruins and ideal weather conditions. During the past fortnight a num ber of cannery representatives have been in the valley investigat ing local crop conditions, without offering any definite prices. The freight rate reductions, effective July 1, to San Francisco Bay dis trict points, are expected to in crease the local Bartlett shipments to California canneries. 4 LI MANY FROM GUY 10 SEA AND HILL The big Fourth of July week-end exodus, (luring which thousands of the Medford and valley citizenry will bo found at various resorts, near and far, enjoying celebrations elsewhere, of the great patriotic day, began yesterday afternoon and gained momentum fast until hun dreds will have departed by this evening.
