Work Of Talent Experiment Leader Recognition of research work con ducted by Prof. F. c. Relmer, of the Southern Oregon Branch Experiment atation st Talent, la given in the 1937 "Year Book of Agriculture" Iwued by the department of agriculture. Two page are devoted to the ex tensive work of prof. Helmer In de termining extent of blight resistance in practically all known species and varieties of pears which tervea as a foundation In breeding for blight re slstanoe. Ths full text la ss follows: "By far the most extensive project In the United Stale on the test of known varieties of pean and species of pears for their resistance to blight has been conducted at the Southern Oregon Branch Experiment station at Talent, Oregon. Testa have Included practically all the known species, as .well aa a number of the Asiatic va rieties. Eighty-five P. communis va rletles and hybrids have been lnocu la ted repeatedly, while 600 pear varie ties bare been grown In orchard from where they were exposed to nat ural Infection from great quantities of blight In the orchard. The earlier results of these experiments are re corded by Prof F. C. Relmer. This work gives much Information on the relative blight resistance of various Pyrus species and varieties, and In dicates clearly the material of great- eat value for breeding for blight re sistance. "The present work has two objec tives (1) to develop dependable. hardy, congenial, bllghteslatant va rieties. Ba 14 Hslang, a highly resist ant Pyrus ussurlensla variety, pollin ated with another resistant variety gave seedlings sufficiently blight re sis taut for rootstocks, but such seed lings have proved unsatisfactory for some of the commercial p. communis varieties and have been discarded. Seedlings of P. calleryana varieties and trees planted so that both pollen and seed parent are resistant have proved highly resistant to blight and appear to be excellent rootstocks in southern Oregon. They may lack suf ficient hardiness for the colder sec tions of the country. By mass selec tion methods, seedling of P. communis have been found resistant to blight, i Prom 10,000 seedlings, 10 proved highly resistant, and these ten, when pollinated with other resistant varie ties transmit a high degree of resis tance. Three of these have produced seedlings 100 per cent resistant to root blight when pollinated with another resistant type. - "In breeding for resistant varieties of high quality, varieties of Pyrus us surlensls crossed with Anjou, Bart lett, Bosc, and Cornice have given i only poor-quality varieties, and all ADRIENNES OCTOBER DRESS SPECIALS ONE GROUP DRESSES for itreet and afternoon wear In all the new Fall shade.

"In 1015, Relmer saw a small An Jou seedling on Benjamin Buckmsn's farm at Parmlngdals, 111., which was Just coming Into bearing, with fruit of good size and mediocre quality The tree was free from blight while the disease was rampant In trees sur rounding It. Scion wood was obtained and the tree propogated at the South ern Oregon Experiment station. Ex tensive Inoculation work at the sta tion has proven that this tree Is highly resistant to blight. "During the past five years several thousand trees have ten produced which are crosses between Farming dale and Anjou, Bartlett, Boso, Corn ice and Seckcl. Approximately 7fl per cent of these seedlings have blighted when Inoculated. The remainder have so far proved highly resistant even when repeatedly Inoculated. The old- est of these crosses snould come Into bearing during the next year or two, it Is hoped that amony these resist- snt trees st least a smalt number will possess the good quality of the line -flavored varieties used ss one parent In each cross and the blight resistance of the Farmlngdnle. "With one exception all the crosses have proved vigorous. This one ex ception is Anjou X parmlngdale, these seedlings being only moderately vig orous. Furthermore the leaves of 30 per cent of the seedlings resulting from this cross possessed a waxy white color, (devoid of chlorophyll), and the seedlings died when they were from 3 to 4 Inches high, the probable re sult of Inbreeding.

(UP) There's "Posted, Keep Out" sign nt Leila Lake near here, for all burglars, ban dits and hoodlums. And behind It Is a modest housewife, Mrs. John Howard, who Is credited with the capture of 4 law violators snd the breaking up of a series of burglaries frequent here for a number of years. Mrs. Howard Is not only the guar dian of her husband's store, but the protector of the entire, but short, main street. Burglaries, ranging from petty rob beries to postofflce brooks, have been failures because of Mrs. Howard's diligence. Only three of 17 burglars In the last 10 years hsve escaped and of thote, two left a trail of blood after a gun battle with her husband and son. One night she ran. barefooted, over rocka and "sticker burrs" to warn her husband that a burglar was in the store. She once directed officers during a running gun fight which led to the capture of two desperadoes and was rewarded by the federal Kovernment after their conviction. Mrs. Howard refuses to talk about her record, but Sheriff Ouy Pierce acta differently. "Since I took office In 1033." he said, "we have captured and convicted 14 persons through Mrs. Howard's assistance. There have been no robberies In Leila Lake since 1933." he added.
