Prices were so badly mix ed at the moment that accuracy Is almost Impossible In naming value. Openly quoted figured literally meaning nothing at the moment. With retailers opening naming prices several cents below wholesale es tablished prices. It waa becoming more difficult to obtain extreme figures. The situation appeared due chief ly to the Inability of officials to enforce the law. It is pructlcally impossible to assure convictions even though the trade knows the stock being openly offered as extras la nothing but storage stocks. CURB URGED FOR WASHINGTON, Nov. 18. (AP) A limitation on the number of low- cost housing projects constructed directly by the federal government waa urged tonight by the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Opposition also was expressed by the Chamber of Commerce to use of public works funds "to finance business units designed to compete wit,, or duplicate existing units now rendering adequate service at reas- onaole cost.' Such action, a resolution adopt ed by the board of directors said, "la contrary to sound public pol icy, destructive of savings Invest ments therein, made In goou faith by all parts of our people. Includ ing wage earners and farmers, and causes an Inequitable shift In the basis of taxation, through removal of extensive property values, and the income thereof, from local, state and federal taxation." Twenty men were given Jobs Fri day by the Rogue River national for est service, burning brush In the Big Elk and Moon Prairie sections, under the direction of Renger Hugh Rltter. The men were all selected from the federal employment lists, making a total of 710 men given employment by the forest service during the year. Office help, when additional aid was needed, waa classed in the relief de partment. For Modern, Quick Fuel Oil Deliv ery Service, Phone S15, Bads Transfer.

Pears belong to the group of food stuffs and commodities, which must be classed as non-neceaalt.es. Mil' Hons of people, who have no Income and other millions, having a dimin ished Income, cannot buy pears. We have therefore an underconsumption of pears. American Industry is based to at least 00 per cent on non -necessities. The producer of such non necessities can expect a return to normal con sumption only, provided we are able to reestablish normal wages and earn ing power. The pear grower is worse off than the manufacturer of non-necessities. The latter begins the cycle by laying off a number of men or closing his factory altogether and reduces In this way at once the sates for non -necessi ties. Ths orchard 1st has to go on, willingly or unwillingly, to produce pears and more pears than he can sell. Even In "depression time" the trees grow, must be cared for and pro duce even more pears. The perishable character of the fruit, the careful packing required for marketing pears over a large area, especially In the west, entailing a distributing cost of at least 125 per cent of the cost of production, accentuates this situa tion, as even In normal times pears have to be sold at a rather high price retail in order that all concerned can make a profit. As a rule a manufacturer maintains his own selling organisation. He does not need to sell, If prices are too low. The orchardist does not make the price, has no control over It snd as a rule has not the means to provide his own selling organization Individu ally. He either has to sell at the price offered or let his produce go to waste. WHAT IS THE REMEDY? We always hear "canning," when pears of one kind or another cannot be sold. Why Can Bartletta Only. The established market, for canned pears consists of Bartletta only, not because the other pears are not adapt ed for canning, but because no grower has ever made a serious attempt to can or market Boscs, Anjous, Cornice or Winter Nellls. They are Just as good or even better than canned Bart letta, but they look red. Canned baked Boscs are delicious. Neither a cannery nor a wholesale house, espec ially under present conditions will go to the expense to Introduce a new canned pear. IT IS UP TO THE GROWER TO TAKE THE INITIATIVE AND THI8 REMINDS MB OF AN ADVERTISING STUNT. Why Not Adverttsef The largest Swiss manufacturer of chocolate had worked out new ma chinery and a new process for making chocolate of an Improved flavor at less cost, but unfortunately his for mer product, like all the rent of the chocolate on the market, was glossy brown. . The new process changed the appearance and the bars had a whitish appearance. As this manufacturer was also a very Important stockholder In the firm I worked for at that time, and we had there quite a staff of chem ists, he offered to us chemists a price of 00,000 francs if we could solve ths difficulties, hs had encountered, and produce with the new machinery a glossy dark brown chocolate. Of course we got busy, but did not solve the problem and after six months of experimentation gave up. Then one of the clerks got the prize for suggesting the advertising of this chocolate and making a feature out of the white coating and soon was start ed an Intensive advertising campaign announcing to the world that the finest chocolate of the world can be distinguished by its whitish appear ance. Red Apples, Why Not PearsT A campaign for "red" canned pears would in my opinion decidedly assist the sale of other canned pears than Bartletta. But canning more pears at present would not help the pear grower at all. Canned pears would meet the same conditions aa fresh pears. THERE WOULD BE NO BUYERS or in any case the buyers of red pears would diminish the buy ers for Bartletta and the grower would not be better off. Other good things can be produced from pears, especially delicious Jams snd marmalades In mixtures with other fruit Juices, etc. But ask Mr. Gates. He will tell you there Is do market for Jams outside of berry Jams and nobody outside of the grower himself will be able to change this situation. The export of Jams ts out of the question, as manufacturers of Jams and marmalades can buy sugar cheap er than we can. Only an advertising campaign can change this, and without doubt a lot of pears can be consumed In such form. In addition the manufacture of Jama would allow the profitable manufacture of PECTIN, now widely used under different trade names, such as certo, etc. But here also we have to face ex isting "depression conditions. A German buyer said to me the other day "I can use 100 cars of Anjous, If you will take German marks in payment. But you want dollars. 2 have no dollars and cannot get any, unless you also buy some thing from us. Formerly we shipped you toys manufactured goods, ma chinery, etc., but you can buy these things cheaper now from Japan or manufacture these things Just as good and cheaply as we do. If you will take a tralnload of beer, I will take the equivalent value in pears." But our peargrowers have no facili ties to sell the beer, and so this transaction did not mature. If the American producer Is able to leave his money for the present abroad, he will benefit by the In flated dollar, otherwise he will soon find out that he loses In export about 50 per cent. If he sold last year for 93.00 a box, he must get $4.50 In Eu rope to get the same value as last year. How quickly these changes develop may be Judged from the fact that' already approximately one billion dol lars of American money has been transferred to European banks and the Italian government Is making a profit of 100 per cent through the i Inflation of the dollar. As the in- flatlon here has not brought any In- I creased prices for pears In the locsl msrket, the pesrgrower faces with out doubt very difficult conditions.
