Pressure tests of pears from various parts of the coun ty Indicate the fruit will be ripe enough to pick by that time, Assistant County Agent Clifford B. Cordy reports. Growers In doubt as to the proper maturity of the fruit are asked to bring sample pears to the county agent's office for tests. Six or eight pears from the spurs on the inside of the tree are best. Good pears should be picked as culls do not give ' reliable tests, Cordy explains. Growers are also requested to contact their packing houses re garding start of picking so as to keep the plants operating from the start. There is a good crop of Bart letts In prospect. Early picking will thin tho crop and enable ine remainder to size better. "Precious things come In large packages in Wyoming," Mrs. Ann Trevctt, well known mineralogist, told members of the Medford Rotary club at a Tuesday luncheon meeting at the Hotel Medford. Miss Tre vett's address stressed the vast mineral resources of Wyoming and urged fullest cooperation between western states in de velopment of industries through out the western area. Oregon and Wyoming have much in common, the speaker said. Marks of those who blaz ed the early trails to the Oregon country are still in evidence in her home state, which is almost identical in size of Oregon. True western hospitality and friendli ness abound in both states. Miss Trevctt told of the enor mous petroleum resources of Wyoming, some of which have hardly been tapped. All of the minerals needed for the manu facture of steel are available in quantities within a 100-mile radius of Casper, she said. De scription of deposits of light metals, precious stones and radio active minerals was also given A local collection of Oregon minerals, properly identified and available for public exam ination, was urged by Miss Tre vctt. Expansion of the study of mineral resources here by the coming generation, with empha sis upon strategic metals, was strongly advocated. Miss Tre vett is now visiting In Ashland.

Jack Matlack Puts Cheer in Meal At California Eatery Jack Matlack, formerly con- nected with the George A. Hunt theaters here, recently broke in to print in a Portland paper, but this time it was for something other than his promotional ac tivities. According to the Portland dis patch, "Comfortably upholstered Jack (The Plaque) Matlack is again filling his office chair in the Broadway theater after a va cation that took him to the hot test spots o f the west, Reno, Fallen, Nev., and Red Blun, Calif. "Red Bluff will long remem ber 'The Plaque'. To impress relatives with the flare of hos pitality he has garnered in the big city, Portland's junior first citizen invited his kin to dinner in a Red Bluff hotel. "He was seated in one of those 20th century streamlined chrom ium chairs at the feast. The big fellow started chuckling, and shaking over some pleasantry. Then came the crash which put to shame the 1929 debacle. The chromium chair collapsed and 'The Plaque' found himself wedged between the metal and upholstery on the floor. "It almost took a plumber to extricate the Portlander but he brought joy to a crowded dining room. When he spreads, he spreads cheer." Closing time for Classified Ads 8:30 a. m.
