PEAR INDUSTRY FUTURE STABLE Ashland, Dec. 11 The pear Industry faces a stable future while the citrus fruit industry Is somewhat gloomy, Senator Earl Newbry, pear orchardist and packer, told members of the Ashland Rotary club at a recent meeting. Newbry explained that citrus trees come into commercial pro duction in a few years while it takes 10 to 15 years for a pear tree to produce in commercial quantities. Citrus acreage has greatly increased while pear acreage has remained rather stable, he told the Rotarians. Slight increase in pear acre age has been absorbed in the growing demand for pears which has been created by a remark ably successful advertising cam paign sponsored by the pear growers of Washington, Oregon and California, where the vast majority of the commercial busi ness is concentrated, Newbry stated. Increase in markets, plus rapid development of the gift package business, enabled the in dustry to maintain its stability regardless of loss of foreign mar kets during the war, Newbry said. Ripening program is the lat est development, which combin ed with growth of the cold stor age idea, has eliminated glutted markets and low income to growers. By the use of cold stor age, Bartletts can be marketed up to November, Boscs and Co mice to January and D'Anjous to May, Newbry continued. He said payroll of the industry in this area is approximately $2, 000,000 and the income to the Industry approximately $10,000, 000.
