even more attractive than the apple 

 climate, so we do not want to overlook 

 the peach. I will tell you that anyone 

 who has been through these orchards of 

 the valleys of the Willamette, and the 

 Umpqua, and the Rogue and the Colum- 

 bia know that they can 'raise beautiful 

 peaches. It is simply a delight to see 

 them and get one's teeth stabbed into 

 one of those luscious fellows right off 

 the tree, and to see how carefully they 

 are handled and how carefully they are 

 wrapped and packed — the peach industry 

 itself is a great advertisement for Ore- 

 gon. We don't want to forget the pear. 

 Medford started a pear fair and scooped 

 some other parts of the state. Down in 

 Medford they say we cannot raise pears 

 in the Willamette Valley, but I have 

 tasted just as good pears in the Valley of 

 the Willamette as I have ever tasted in 

 the Valley of the Rogue. We don't want 

 to forget the pear and the peach. 



In the newspaper offices, when they 

 have a lot of information coming in 

 relating to some subject, they try to get 

 one of the striking features in the head- 

 line at the top. The apple today is Ore- 

 gon's headliner. Let us also support the 

 publicity for the peach, let us get in 

 behind the Medford Pear Fair and make 

 it the success it deserves, and let us give 

 credit to the Spokane National Apple 

 Show, but let us not forget that right 

 here in Oregon we have the opportunity 

 to create one th'e greatest advertisements 

 Oregon can have, and carry with it the 

 name and identity of the state, "The Ore- 

 gon Apple Show."
