PLANS C0MPLETED12 FOR SHUNS RATTLERS MEET MONDAY TO PICKERS TREATED ON FISHING TRIP MAP YEAR'S WORK PAGE SIX -I NORTHWEST PEARS Canvass Shows 68 Per Cent .Tonnage Oregon And Washington Signed Up , Each State Has Nine Trustees. Decision to launch the advertising campaign for Oregon and Washing ton winter pears was arrived at at a meeting of th delegates from Med ford and Hood River districts In the slate of Oregon and White White Salmon-Underwood and Yakima val ley In the state of Washington which was held In Portland Friday. A can . vass of the contracts which .have been signed within the past few weeks during which an aggressive campaign has been conducted to sign up growers and shippers to the ad vertising program, shows that 68 per cent of the tonnage in the state had been signed to the contract. Decision to Incorporate the Oregon- Waailngton Pear Bureau with a board of trustees representing nine growers and shippers from the state of Washington and nine growers and shippers from the state of Oregon was also determined upon at this meeting. ... "I am more than pleased by the ' fact that we are able to launch this campaign," said Raymond Reter who returned from the meeting Saturday morning, "as I feel that history In the pear Industry was made when 1,'ie decision was made to go ahead. The details of the program will be worked out by members of a com mittee to be elected in the next few days. The advertising campaign is to be conducted primarily around the Boso, D'AnJou and Winter Nells "Varieties. "We determined to name the or ganisation the Oregon-Washington Pear Bureau. The consensus of opln- . Ion was. that we should concentrate our efforts on the varieties that are grown in these two states. The Oi egon-Washlngton Pear Orowers Bureau will be affiliated with the Pacific Pear Orowers Council and thus open the way for California to join us next year. W, H. Horsley, who will act as secretary to the Oregon-Washington Pear Growers Buroau, will visit east ern markets In behalf of the adver tising campaign in September and will work olosely with the New York winter pear committee. : expecTsSles le i road READY THIS FALL ' CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK. .
