According to Mr. Bradley, who Is the spokesman for tho enterprise, their attention was called to the pos albUUtea of Central Oregon n( a starch producing country by reports of an expert of the t'nlted States De partment of Agriculture who has hoon studying the potato starch In dustry for Uie past three years. This expert. Dr. C. C. Moore, has found that Central Orogon potatoes have a higher March content than thoee from any other section, and It Is therefore desired to leoato a faotory here. Such a plant as Is planned would use the cull product from 10.060 to 12.000 acres and would Insure to tho growers a minimum price of $.S0 per ton. If desired, the .starch com pany would aet as commission agent for the salo of all merchantable po tatoes, sorting these out from the etareh slock. Figures nro Olvcn. Tho plans of the promotors call for a faotory site covering about Ave acres, Ktaroh maklNg to be begun by September IS. Tho factory would bo In operation for about 280 days and would have a total dally pay roll of 5168. Its dally consumption would be 100 tons of potatoes and Us starch output about 20 tons. By products would bo a stock food, potato llako and glucose. Its cost, including ma chinery to bo Imported from Ger many, wboro starch making from po tatoes Is in an advanced stage, is es timated by Mr. llradley at about $60,000. To finance the proposition stock to tho amount of $20,000 would have to bo subscribed for in the neighborhood where the factory was located, tho promotors putting up $20,000 and leaving $10,000 of a $50,000 capit alization ln tho treasury for later needs. Mr. Bradley and Dr. Hamol have Visited other towns In the Deschutes valley and explained the proposition, la many cases getting acreago con tracted to supply tho factory lu caso It Is built. In tho different towns via! tod sites for the factory havo been considered but none have been found desirable because of tho lack of water. When In operation a starch jeot. On motion of C. S.
