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. :
