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. Blight, for which no remedy
has been discovered but which
can be controlled, is the main

Washington, Dec. ll.-JU.R
The senate foreign relations com
mittee meets behind closed doors
today to examine secret state de
partment reports on Iran and
China.
The reports were taken from
state department files after Pat
rick J. Hurley, resigned ambas
sador to China, said they would
prove his charges of duplicity in
the foreign service.
Hurley asked the committee
to make the reports public. The
committee, however, decided up
on the closed-door session after
Secretary of State James F.
Byrnes said full publicity was
not in the public interest.
Hurley himself designated the
long list of reports, letters and
telegrams which he believed
would help prove his chai ges.
