PEAR AGREEMENT
FOR THISJEASON
Hearing On Proposed AAA
Agreement On Bartletts
Develops Doubt As To
Advisability In Future.
Medford district pear growera. at
this mornings session of the AAA
hearing on the proposed marketing
agreement for cannrrs of Pacific
coast grown Bartlett pears, expressed
a willingness to accept the agree
ment for the one-year period, but
with doubt, as to future years.
Growers testified that conditions
were favorable this year for grow
ing 2 3 i -inch pears, as specified ln
the proposed agreement. Next year
and future years, might bring new
conditions. It was testified.
R. K. Norrls, as a grower, told
the hearing, "growing and Irrigation
water conditions are favorable this
I year for raising the 23i sizes, but
ln some years the valley would -I
perlence difficulty ln making the
specification."
B. N. Burns of Portland, secre
tary of the Northwest Canners as
sociation. R. A. Bailey of Springs
brook, Ore., head of the Spring
brook Co-operative cannery and R-
A. Busenark of Roseburg, president
of the Umpqua Valley Fresh Fruit
association, also testified at tha
hearing.
Kirk Spokesman
John D. Kirk, president of tha
Fruit Growers league, was delegated
as the Med lord district spokesman.
"Article 6" of the proposed agree
ment, llmlttng the size of cannery
pears to 2VB Inches was tha main
questioning point of the morning
session.
Article No. 0 reads :
"No. X pears" shall consist of
well formed pears not less than

Norrls recommended that the art
icle be changed to read "free from
damage from scale," Instead of "frea
from scale." Norrls said Rogue River
growera "in some years might hava
difficulty In making the 3 speci
fications." He said It would require
extensive pruning and would limit
