There is a large acreage in Yamhill County, but very little anywhere else in the state. Pears.—Oregon, and particularly the Willamette Valley, is very well suited for the horticulture of Bartlett pears, and quite extensive planting of this fruit would be a big addition to the canning industry, and also believe that they are about as good a crop as a hor- ticulturist could i)lant. Royal Anne Cherries.—There is a large acreage of this fruit available throughout the Willamette Valley, The Dalles, Hood River and various parts of Oregon. I believe there is approxi- nialcly enough of this fruit now in bearing, and coming into bearing, to take care of all the canner's needs. Strawberries.—The growing of this fruil has been largely discontinued throughout the state on account of various pests that destroy the plants, also on account of low prices prevail- ing some few years ago. We, however, believe there is money in the straw- berry business to the growers, pro- viding the right varieties are planted and developed. Of course everything depends on the proper soil for the proper fruit and intelligent advice along this line should be given by the people most interested, namely, the canner. Our plant at Newberg, namely, the Valley Canning Co., maintains a school for its growers where the growers meet and discuss matters of interest to the grower and horticulturist.
