Others plan to wait until the week after. Cordy has invited all orchardists to bring samples o pears to his office in the county court house to test for ripeness. Cordy uses a testing device to estimate how much fruit is now ripe, and this helps orchardists to determine how rapidly their crop should be picked. About eight normal pears should be taken from the lower inside part of a tree in the early morning, and brought in for testing the same morning they are picked. The d'Anjou harvest should begin in about three weeks, Cordy said, with bosc and co mice harvests starting in early September. family Saved From Log Pond Dorris, Calif. HP!
