TWELVE MEDFORD (OREGON)
Minnesota Professor
Here to Make Study
Of Rare Pear Trees
' Dr. A. N. Wilcox, professor of
horticulture at the University of
Minnesota, arrived here this
week to be in the Rogue valley
during pear blossoming time, it
was reported today by Dr. H. H.
White, superintendent of the
Southern Oregon Experiment
station.
Dr. Wilcox is conducting ex
periments in pear breeding at
Minnesota, and while here he
will make a number of crosses
of pear varieties which are avail
able only at the experiment sta
tion here. The station has one
of the largest collections of pear
varieties in the United States, in
all some 250 varieties, Dr. White
said.
Rare Specimens
Many of them are rare speci
mens collected by Prof. F. C.
Reimer, former superintendent
of the station, during his travels
in the Orient. They were used in
studies designed to develop disease-resistant
strains, particu
larly root stocks which are blight
resistant. The collection has been
maintained through the years,
and is now proving especially
valuable since it is no longer pos
sible to observe Chinese strains.
Dr. White said the collection is
now being recognized nationally.
Up to the present its mainte
nance has been solely the respon
sibility of the local station, but
with the recent turn of events in
the Orient, the U.S. department
of agriculture has agreed to par
ticipate by sharing in the ex

Plans Made
Plans are being made to cata
logue and describe each one. Fol
lowing this analysis and evalua
tion, selected specimens will be
carried over into a new planting
so arranged that valued germ
plasms may be preserved at
much less cost, Dr. White re
ported. This phase of the work
will probably take three or four
years to complete, he said.
