ROGUE F BEST, IS HOLES' CLAM Rogue River valley peaches re among the finest grown In the nation and promise to some day rival the famous Cornice pears in world-wide popularity, according to David Holmes, one of the owners of Bear Creek Orchards. The prediction was made in an address Tuesday noon before the Medford Rotary club at the Hotel Medford. Rogue River cheese and other products of this valley, properly process ed and merchandised, will bring added prosperity to this section of Oregon in future years, Holmes said. The growth of the fruit gift box industry, pioneered by Har ry and David Holmes of Bear Creek Orchards, was traced by the speaker. The movement has since spread to every section of the nation, with Texas, Florida and California among the most prominent shippers. The gift box program has luted the fruit in- dustry from virtual obscurity in 1933, when Cornice pears sold for a few cents a box in domes tic and foreign markets, to na tional prominence and prosper ity. Huge Volume Now This season from 275 to 300 express cars of gift packages will leave this valley, Holmes told Rotarians. From 850,000 to a million packages will be sold this year and the demand cannot be met by local growers and packers. The gift package pay roll will amount to nearly $425, 000 this season, an important factor in the prosperity of the area. The success of the gift pack age industry is principally due to the exceptional quality of Cornice pears, Holmes said, and to emphasize the national fame of this local product a number of laudatory testimonial letters were read. On the gift list of Bear Creek orchards appear the names of hundreds of nationally famous names including Presi dent Truman. The late President Roosevelt used Rogue River Val ley pears to express greetings to many of his friends. A large number of movie stars also ap pears on the Bear Creek mailing lists. The decline of the dinosaur Is believed to have been related to change in climate, to which they were unable to adapt themselves. ...but Still not enough to go around William Perm is well worth waiting toi Yfjf THE GEM ?Bf OF THE Miff!
