Jackson County, Oregon is noted for the production of high quality pears. It is the fourth leading pear producing county in the United States and is the number one producer of winter pears. This thesis analyzes in detail the many aspects of the pear industry in the county. Climate, soils, topography, and progressive growers have been the main localizing factors. The study revealed that 200 growers produce the average annual total of three million boxes of pears on 9940 acres of bearing orchards. The pears are prepared for market in 12 packing houses and two canneries. The industry has a direct impact on the county of $15,000,000. The problems confronting the industry are caused by physical and biological factors. Spring frosts and hail damage are problems imposed by the climate. Pear Blight, Pear Decline, and Pear Scab are the main diseases. Insect pests such as the Pear Psylla and the Codling Moth must also be combatted. Urban encroachment has not yet been a serious problem in the county. The future for the industry appears to be stable, with little change in acreage. The fruit gift box industry will become of increasing importance, thus creating further emphasis on producing winter pears. / Graduation date: 1963

"Campbellton High School is a small school of some two hundred thirty rural pupils in Jackson County, Florida. It is felt that the faculty is well acquainted with the personal feelings and desires of the student body. The members of the faculty know each student by name, and also know something of his family life, ambitions, economic status, and his favorite foods. Yet, with all this knowledge about the students, it is felt that school children do not always reveal their thoughts and ideas of what they think is right or wrong with their school. Since the school is being run for the benefit of the pupils, it seems desirable that the faculty also have this information in order for it to do the job thoroughly"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "January, 1953." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: H.

"The majority of the material for this paper comes from my own observation of our program and its growth in Jackson County. Jackson County is a rural county in Northwest Florida. There are a total of eight high schools located in the county, five of them having instrumental programs. This survey is an over-view of the instrumental program in Jackson County as it is now in the year 1958"--Introduction. / Typescript. / "August, 1958." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts." / Advisor: H.

This thesis examines the events and discourses targeted to reemphasize the law tithing and to encourage increased tithe-paying from members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between 1899 and 1907. This examination begins at Church president Lorenzo Snow's journey to St. George and extends through Joseph F. Smith's announcement of the Church's freedom from its long-standing debts. Each chapter analyzes this period from a different perspective provided by contemporary sources. These perspectives include primarily newspaper reports and transcripts from Lorenzo Snow's journey to St. George, reports from general Church conferences, and articles in Church-sponsored publications.This examination yields a more contoured view of the discussion of tithing in the Church at the turn of the 20th century and shows, importantly, that one of Lorenzo Snow's main motivations for his reemphasis of tithing was to prepare the Church to return to and reclaim Zion in Jackson County, Missouri.
