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.

"The Hoover plan Is lust a

Although the Medford postofflce

of the general business depression
period over the nation for the past

The fact that the recolpls of the

state's formal protest against the
Increase. ' ,
Formal protests against the pro-
posed . rate Increase were . wired
to Washington, D. C, late yester

Julius L. Meier. By this action
Oregon joins other western states
In opposing the Increased rates.
Frutt Dixilslon Noedcd .-
In Ills message of protest Thom
as stressed the point that & decis
ion on the rate Increase should not
bo permitted to delay decision on
the northwest petition for lower
rates on deciduous fruit. This
petition. In which. Oregon joined
with Washington and Idaho, has
been before the commission for
more than two years, and requests
a roductlon ranging from 16 to 30
per cent In rates on all fruits In
the northwest.
"Tho doclduous fruit Industry In
Oregon Is in a serious economlo
condition and cannot survive with
out substantial relief In the form
of freight rate reductions suffic
ient to permit free movement of
fresh fruits to tha middle west and
eastern markets. Early fruits will
begin movlnir next month for
which reason Immediate decision
In tho docket of the northwest pe
tition Is respectfully requested,"
Thomas wired.
Governor Meier joined in the
protest against delay on the fruit
case. "Financial standing of this
district will not sustain the pro
posed increase," . the governor
stated. "Conditions are now so
serious that reductions are Imperative."

believe in it in her own heart
nnd she told why and told that
her action would mean her fin
ish in congress. She told how
she loved 'em and had fed 'em
nnd spent every cent she had
on 'cm (and she had), but
that she wouldn't vote against
her conscience just to stay in
congress." Nick said every
man in the room went to her
nnd complimented her on her
bravery, then went over and
voted the way the most votes
were back homo. She was a
fine old soul, too fine for politics.
