Space To . 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

have been dlscsrded, though a part
of the seedlings were blight-resistant.
"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.

BY TEXAS WOMAN
CLARENDON, Tex. (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.

duct for the public. Both the dis
trict attorney and court stated they
