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.
