Increase Pear Production
INCREASINGLY stiff competition is being faced each year
by fruit growers of this area. Their problem is the concern
of every person who resides in the Rogue River valley the
raising, packing and marketing of pears is the number one
industry of this area; an investment conservatively estimated at
ten million dollars is represented in local orchards, packing and
storage plants.
The serious nature of this competition is increasingly appar
ent. Statistics compiled six years ago, which show production
in tons per acre for the Medford district as compared with
some of the principal competing coast fruit centers, tell an in
teresting story.
Here the production was 5.3 tons per acre. Compare this
figure with 12.3 for Yakima, Washington; 11.6 for Wenatchee,
Washington; 9.2 for Hood River, Oregon and '7.4 for Lake
county, California. The relationship of production in this area
to that of others probably still holds true and the Medford
district figures show only approximately 5.7 tons per acre
for 1938.
THE unfavorable showing of this area can be explained, in a
measure, by the fact that a portion of local fruit acreage
is not being handled in such a manner as to assure satisfactory
production; some acreage here devoted to orchards might better
be converted to other forms of production.
JIany orchard operations here however ARE highly success
ful ; in these cases they are handled in an intelligent, business
like way; initiative coupled with sound judgment have brought
new methods of preparing and marketing pears. The foresight
of a few has spelled the salvation of the local fruit industry.
THE Medford branch of the Oregon Experiment Station is
fnoinrv III. nrolilnm nt 9nAnn nuva avwl maanm t n 11 1 u Cn
more Medford growers on an equitable basis with growers of
competing districts. It is recognized that cost of production
per acre is approximately the same here as in other sections;
likewise the fixed operating costs which include such items as
pruning, heating, cultivation, spraying, etc. changes relatively
little whether the production per acre is small or large. It is
quite obvious that, taking the industry here as a whole, the
per box costs are materially higher than they should be.
THE ANSWER SEEMS TO BE INCREASE PRODUC
TION PER ACRE; REDUCE ORCHARD ACREAGE SO THAT
ONLY SOILS BEST ADAPTED TO PEAR RAISING ARE
USED. H. G.
Good Work by Govt. Station .
IN 1931. the Jackson County Court established the experiment
station on King's highway, near this city, to be staffed and
operated by Department of Agriculture experts, working in
cooperation with state offioials.
Various government work projects have contributed in
bringing the value of the county-owned plant and equipment
(leased to the State of Oregon) to $50,000. An important pay
roll was created, annual operating expenses average $25,000.
More important yet, valuable work has been accomplished in
research and in (the more recent program of "Soil Moisturfe
Control" which bring increasing benefits to the fruit industry
and general farming of this district.
The experiment station committee of the Fruitgrowers'
heague has performed valuable service in advancing the objec
tives of this station. 1
Since experiments here are restricted to irrigation problems
with pears, there is no conflict with the important activities of
the Southern Oregon .Experiment Station at Talent, which deals
with other major problems of pear growing.
fT is a well known fact that seasonal flow of streams can be de
termined with reasonable accuracy several months in advance
from snow measurements taken tbe preceding winter and spring
on key watersheds. In this area, and other portions of the
west, nearly 90 per cent of the summer stream flow originates
from precipitation falling as snow.
The orchardists and farmers now can know in advance how
much irrigation water they can
How is this forecasting accomplished!
At carefully chosen points, high in the mountains, known as
snow courses", the water content of the snow is accurately
measured by drawing and weighing cores of the snow mantle.
After records have been obtained for a few years, a correlation
between snow cover and subsequent run-off can be determined.
Using these correlations, forecasts of the coming summer's
water supply can be made with astonishing accuracy immedi
ately after the last snow measurements in Maroh.
How valuable this information is in planning for summer
irrigation, mining activities, hydro-electric power generaton
and municipal water supplies! Important, too, are these fore
casts in flood control, in the preparation of flood height predic
tions by the Weather Bureau, and in the activities of the U. S.

A S an outgrowth of those snow surveys, the Medford Eiperi

benefit of winter sport fans. Vp-to-tho-ininnte snow, road and
weather conditions are supplied for tbe principal anow sport
centers.
Here is a service that will be welcomed by an increasing
army of ski enthusiasts. This newspaper will add "snowcasta''

perfectly clear to me.
And so I won't ask you to draw a
picture of these two gowna after I ;

them and they left plcturee on my

The first one was made out of what
I will wager was gray net. Nobody

By FRANK JENKINS
pASTB this In your hat:
Among the developments of
the not too distant future will be old
age pensions on a scale LARGER
than the present seals.
You may like It. or you may not
like it but It Is coming. We'd better
begin to give it some serious and
HONEST thought.
IN giving honest thought to old age
pensions, we must get rid of the
notion that they will In some mys
terious manner STIMULATE PROS
PERITY. They won't.
Prosperity Is created only by In
creased production either through
more work or more efficiency. Pros
perity is the result of MORE THINGS
not more money. No matter how
hard you try. you can't share what
ISNT PRODUCED. There are no
short cuts to prosperity.
The sooner we make up our mlnda
to that, the better off we shall be.
PENiSroNS for the aged mean sim
ply that money that is EARNED
by one group of the population Is
SPENT by another group. Tf you
earn money and give it to your
neighbor to spend, the prosperity of
the community won't be stimulated
any more than If you spent the
money yourself.
All that will happen la that you
will have to work harder, whereas
your neighbor won't have to work so
hard.
Economically, the effect of old age
pensions will be exactly the same.
They won't Increase production, but
they will make life easier and pleas
anter for the aged.
I? old see pensions are to be aound.
they must he recognized clearly
for what they actually are which Is
deferred payment for WORK At
HFADT DOMIC..
The worthy aged have done their
part. They have produced In their
producing years. In an enlightened
state of society fsueh aa oura pro
fesses to be) those who have pro
duced In their producing years art
entitled to reasonable security In
thetr declining veers.
That Is the only theory of old age
pensions that will work.
IF we are wise, we will kick the
crackpots and the hocus-pocus
artiste out of the door, and will say
honestly to ourselves: "Old age pen
sions WONT stimulate prosperity.
But they will prorlde reasonable ae
enrlty for those who have produced
during their producing years. In
order to provide security for. those
who have pased their best producing
yesrs. those of us who are still within
the period of full production art
willing to WORK HARDER."
Thst Is the honest wsy to approach
the old age pension problem.

balancing and the restoration of con
fidence. At ths same time, be does
not depart from the New Deal line
m widely aa Morgenthau did last
autumn, when he wanted to balance
the budget by severe economy. Hanes'
theory la that, with an improvement
of bu&lness, brought about by the
restoration of confidence, tbe na
tional Income will rise to a point
where the budget can balance itself.
Since the reversion to spending
last spring, Morgenthau has come
around to the Hanes view. Their
Joint prayer now Is that the national
Income will reach $80,000,000,000 by
1940, In which case the budget can
be balanced on the basis of present
taxes. And they have real hope that
their prayer will be answered.
Concerning the Immediate future,
several Interesting inferences can be
drawn from Hanes new power over
taxes. In the first place, unless the
president himself countermands
Hanes' plans, it's very unlikely that
financing national defense will be
made an excuse for revitalizing the
undistributed profits levy. Generally
speaking, punitive or disturbing taxes
on business will be avoided.
There may be no call for new taxes
of any sort, for Morgenthau and
Hanea are not yet convinced that the
next fiscal year's armament and re
lief expenditures will be big enough
to necessitate more revenue.
If new taxes are called for, they
will probably take the form of In
creased surtaxes on Incomes between
$10,000 and 150,000 a year. As one
treasury expert rather grimly put It,
"that's where the fat is." At present,
total Income taxes in the $10,000 to
$0.000 clans range only from 11 to
31 per cent. The ability to pay Is
there, and about $4,000,000,000 of tax
able Income Is also there.
Whatever the final recommenda
tions, they will be based on careful,
realistic examination of the entire
tax structure. Some may be dis
appointed that budget-balancing has
been deferred again. But they should
recognize that. In the last election,
even the Republicans hesitatd to
raise the cry of economy. And thev
should remember that, unless the
national Income rises or the govern
ment spending apparatus Is dis
mantled, the budget cannot be bal
anced without a 60 per cent Increase 1
In taxation. . I
