KEEP THE MONEY AT HOME. MEDFORD donloi-a arc offering California grown ap ples to their customers. "Without exception these aro as poor, measly and rot ten apples as were ever placed before the confiding and gullible public. It is true, that tho applet .are free from pests, and hence there may be no way to stop the sale, but the fruit, is the most inferior ever offered locally. These apples sell at. Watsonville for 50 and (50 cents a box. They are retailed here from $1.50 to $2 a box. Two carloads have been received. These apples aro not uniform in size, are uneven in pack, and once below the first row, arc more or less de caved. Thev do not keep and arc of inferior flavor. At the same time that local dealers arc buying Califor nia apples. Kogue river valley growers are forced to ship to California their culls and undersized apples in order to find a market. These culls are superior in flavor, quality and keeping properties to the imported fruit, yet growers claim that, local dealers refuse their offerings. This condition is wrong. lr should be the policy or every dealer to handle only local products when possible. Consumers .should demand the local product, and insist upon getting it. How is this valley ever going to become self-sustaining if we send our money away from home to buy what we produce here and let our own products rot in tho. field A public market will help solve this problem. The sooner we have it, the better for everyone producer and consumer. POTATO POSSIBILITIES. THE Princeton (Minnesota) Union, under the caption 'Must a Few 'Spuds,' " discusses the potato situa tion in its district as follews: Princeton is not much of a potato market. Only 22 regular buyers and 25 warehouses with a storage capacity of 500,000 bushels here. Some days quite a few potatoes are hauled in by the farmei's 50,000 bushels or there abouts. Probably 1,110,000 bushels will be shipped out of here tin's seasonthat's not a great mam. Yield? Oh, anywhere from 250 to 500 bushels per acre not very pro lific. Prices not very good from 50 cents to $1 per bushel. Other towns make quite a fuss over a few hun dVcd thousand bushels of spuds, but we are modest people here in Princeton and do not make any ado over ten or eleven hundred thousand bushels of Irish lemons." What the farmei's of Princeton have done, can be done a great deal more profitably and prolificlv by the farmei's of the Rogue river valley. price can be obtained. The past season was very Hato grower. Conditions wore' planted potatoes nave reaped a good harvest. Enough has been demonstrated to prove the success of the crop. "With proper seeding, proper soil, proper irrigation and cultivation potatoes can be made one of the great crops of the Rogue river valley," states Professor P. J. O'Gara. "There is no reason why this section should not become a famous producer of fine potatoes." As high as 000 bushels of potatoes to the acre was the record of E. AV. Carlton of the Table Rock district, who made this record growing spuds between rows of young trees as a side crop. It has been and can be duplicated on many other farms. Two other neglected staples can be grown locally and find a ready market at profitable prices tomatoes' and beans. Of course irrigation is necessary for the success of all three of these crops. As high as twenty-two and a half tons of tomatoes were taken from an acre and a half of land. All kinds of beans do well in light land. Any fruit grower can make expenses during the yeai-s before his orchard has come into bearing by raising these three staple crops. If he does not, his own lethargy is principally to blame.
