Las Cruces, N. M, Sent. 4 The
Mesilla Valley Fruit association has
shipped this season IL cars Of pears,
all but a very few being Bartletts. OF
these 10 + went to New Orleans
and n to Denver.
Among the largest shippers were
Messrs. Hookland, Willis, Field, Tur.
ner, OsHara, Locke and Brannigan.
Mr.. Hookland shipped three ears all
from the Hagrie-Ho0kland ranch. Mr..
willis and Dr. Field shipped two cars
each. The pears were very carefully
graded and box after box was thrown
out because Of San Jose scale, as the
Texas law prohibits the shipment Of
any fruit with this scale on it into the
state of Texas. 1t Is commonly cor,
coded that all growers must spray
their trees vigorously or the valley
fruit will be ruined. There were 30
people busy ct the packing Of this
pear crop FOR the past three weeks.
Next year the increase in the or
