A GREATER MEDFORD.
The time has come for a greater Medford. The prca
i ent city limits .must be extended to take in the adjacent
territory, now platted as additions or about to be platted.
Next year the federal census will be taken. It is nec
essary, before this is done that those districts now popu
; lated by people who make their living in Medford, and
which are really part of Medford. be included, so that the
real population may show a year hence.
Tt is important also for the districts affected. Hefore
they can become water consumers and reap the benefits of
other city improvements they must be incorporated in the
i city limits.
The hill district east of Roosevelt avenue, the land
1 lying along both sides of Hear creek, and those additions,
I quite thickly populated, along the western limits of the
f city, should be included.
It is understood that some objections exist among own
; ers of lots in the districts affected who depend upon the
patronage of Medford citizens for a living. They would
i reap all the benefits of being in a city, without helping pay
; the necessary expenses. They would dodge city taxes, for
. getting that the higher taxes are, when the money is judi
ciously spent, the greater becomes the value of the prop
pert y affected.
The city council will probably call a special election j
, to amend the charter so as to take in the adjacent torn-;
tory. It behooves everyone to work for an enlarged city,!
to build up a I ruly greater Medford. 1

(Ireatest among Hie needs of the Wogue River valley is
. intensified fanning, tic market gardener, and the truck
farmer. No other valley offers the opportunity for this
(lass of fanning.
It is prai-l ically impossible to secure fresh vegetables
in 'Medford. Kvcu the grocery stores have to import from
other sections what eonld profitably be produced here.
There is always a dearth of garden products, when no re
gion offers so many opportunities.
The I'.ear ereek bottom land and the valley loam in
many localities are natural garden spots. A few acres
will keep a family in comfort, but as yet no attempt is made
at commercial truck gardening as practiced in many parts
of the country.
The land is here, the water is here, the market is here.
All that is lacking are the individuals to take advantage
of natural opportunities.
The small orchard tract is all right, and the small or
chardist needed. Hut the small gardener has a better op
portunity. I To does not have to wait years for returns,
and his expense is nominal.
If some holder of bottom lands, now in alfalfa, would
cut his field into five-acre tracts for market gardeners, and
place them on the market at reasonable terms, he would
work a greater benefit than even the planter and subdivide!'
of orchards, for he would secure a hard-working, thrifty
class, who are at present barred from settlement because !
of lack of capital.
