In acoordiuice with notices published
in these columns last week a meeting
ol interested vegetable and fruit growers
of the valley was held iu Medford olty
hall ou Suiurdivy.
The meeting, whioh was attended by
about twenty farmers and orchardlsts,
wh9 called to order by S. L. Bennett,
the veteran enthusiast in all lines that
will help the fanner, and Fort Hubbard
was upou motion eleoted chairman and
A. S. Bliton secretary. C H. iPleroe
was introduced and by request gave an
outline of the requirements of a vege
table and fruit oannery. His talk was
interesting and instructive and ' at its
close a canvass amoug those present
was made to asoertaln how muoh of an
acreage of land would be planted the
coming year to sweet corn and tomatoes.
The result was that thirty odd acres of
sweet corn and over ten of tomatoes
were guaranteed. This amount would
perhaps be suffiotent for a small can'
oery, but as it Is a large one we want it
was decided to appoint a committee of
three to make a thorough canvass of
the localities where these produota can
be successfully grown aud to report at
a meeting to be held on Saturday of
this week. I. A. Merriman, W.S. Chap
man and G. A. Hover were appointed
on this committee.
Among the points of Interest brought
out at the meeting were the prloes to
be paid for these products, the quality
and kind and the probablo yield per
acre. Mr. Pierce stated that he could
afford to pay $S per ton for corn and 6
per ton for tomatoes. These prices
leemed to be satisfactory to most of
those in attendance and to some even
more liberal than they had expected.
It was estimated by those who had
growo these products that three tons
of corn and from ten to fifteen tons of
tomatoes as an acre's yield would be
very conservative.
It is generally understood that If the
product of 100 acres of corn and fifty
acres of tomatoes ia guaranteed Mr.
Pierce will associate other parties with
him and put in a cannery plant which
will have a capacity of at least 150,000
cans of corn and between 500,000 and
600,000 cans of tomatoes each season,
and during the canning season 100
hands will be required to can this out
put. These figures are approximated
on the acreage given above. Aside
from the vegetable canning there will
be a considerable amount of fruit put
up.
The soliciting committee reported
yesterday that they had oeen quite suc
cessful and were very hopeful of secur
ing the required acreage. It is espe
cially desired that there be a full at
tendance at the meeting on Saturday
as there will many points come np for
discussion which will be well for the
prospective growers to become familiar
with.
Tax Levy for 1901.
At the meeting of the county com
missioners' court last week the tax
levy for 1901 was made. It was the
supposition that the rate would be
lower than that of last year, but the
raise in the state proportion of nearl t-
iu,ouu irom $18,014.21 for 1900 to
128,103 for 1901 has made an increased
levy for state purposes necessary. Fol
lowing is the levy:
Millx.
stale tax 7.00
County school fund... 5 00
indigent soldiers' fund..... . .. ... .10
General county road l.li)
General county fund.. 11. 80
State bounty fund.. 1.00
Total levy... ....28.00
The state this year requires $895,000
for general purposes and t25,0O0 for the
agricultural college, a total of $920,000
This is $250,000 greater than las't year's
revenue, and this sum will be taxed to
the several counties under the ratio
fixed by the act of the last legislature.
