There will be greater acreage of tomatoes raised in the Rogue river valley for the Bagley canning com pany this year than last, Ralph E. Koozer, manager of the company, said yesterday. He stated that 1 prospects are better for a good season and he hopes to can a large pack. Some idea of the magnitude of the crop can be gained from the fact that Will Sanders, alone, has a contract for about "50,000 to mato plants to be furnished by the cannery to growers About 30 peo ple have been employed for some time in transplanting from huge notbeds to cold frames. These hot beds are heated by electric wires running underground. At least a million seeds were planted to be certain of a full supply of plants. The cannery will commence op Miss Lucie I .an den erations on tomatoes in August, The next event on the Southern and may can some blackberries, Oregon Normal broadcast over pears and apples.

Frequently, when a man opens his heart, some person will take advantage of the situation and open his purse too. At least, so Dr. R. L. Burdic is thinking this week. Burdic, one of Ashland's well- known dentists, was greeted about two weeks ago by a man who claimed he was a sailor, hitch hiking north The fellow had suf fered a broken Jaw down the line somewhere and had been referred to Doc Burdic. who heeded his pice, for professional aid ami placed the man in the Community hospital, extracted several teeth, rearrang ed a badly fractured jawbone and sent to Medford for a gold brace to hold the knitting bone In place. Cared for and healing, the sailor Monday apparently yielded to the gypsy in him and skinned out, leaving Dr. Burdic sans his ef forts, one gold brace with $16 worth of metal and a $60 hospital bill Htate police were given a de scription of the man, who now is thought to be on parole from a penitentiary, a conclusion drawn after his departure when an un loaded letter was found. It also developed the “sailor" was not on Uncle Ham's payroll. "Well, at least I'm thankful the guy didn't decide to vamoose while I had hiq mouth full of Instru ments, too," sighed Dr. Burdic, when his patient showed up miss ing.

Postmaster General Far ley's local office now being lo cated in the Seams building Tames, appointed acting postmas ter last September, replaced Joe Spitzner, who held the office for the four preceding years. ‘RESCUE*’ PARTY FINDS TWO 0-K Tommy Hodgson and A. L. Moon, who left Ashland Tuesday to “rescue” Dr. and Mrs. Chand- lee, of near Portland, thought lost at Buck lake, met them Wednes day coming out, hale, hearty and happy. They had simply stayed in longer than they expected to and had suffered no deprivations whatever. Most old timers believed that if the Chandlee’s were good woods men they were safe, as they could, even If caught in* a storm, build a fire and hole up til) the storm was over. With game plentiful in that section no old timer believed they would starve to death if once ■in their cabin. While it proved unnecessary, it speaks well for the people of Jack- son county that they were suffic iently concerned as to the safety of strangers to have organized and started the search. TOWNSENDITES TO GIVE DANCE S’MATTER POP With an eye to promoting social contact between their members, and to raise funds for furtherance of radio publicity, the Ashland Townsend Old Age Revolving Pen sion club will give a dance Wed nesday, May 1, according to offi- rs of the body.

It is claimed the Townsend plan has 3500 backers and sympathiz ers in Ashland alone.

Martin for $35.000 because the station cancelled a scheduled talk over the radio. The court held that KMED did not come under the communications act of 1934, and was not a com mon carrier.

L. Burdic. The some it must inevitably take from club is composed of progressive dentists of southern Oregon. others.—Weston Leader. Composer! ROGUE FRUIT STILL UNHURT Prof. F. C. Reimer informed the Miner Wednesday morning he thought no serious damage had been done by the cold the night before. He stated that the tem perature at the experiment sta tion had dropped to 28 degrees about 3:00 o clock that morning. They lighted a portion of their smudge pots but did not find it necessary to light all. Reimer said that they smudged as a matter of precaution, although he believed there was little damage where smudging was not resorted to. He took every precaution for two reasons. Loss of fruit would ser iously interfere with experimental work and the station receives some revenue from the fruit sold. A film of ice formed at some points in Ashland but Professor Reimer expressed the belief that little commercial damage had been done. Heavy smudging was resort ed to in the Mecuord district- NO FROST DAMAGE TO FRUIT HERE IS WORD There has been no commercial damage to fruit by frost. Prof. F. C. Reimer, of the Southern Oregon Experiment station at Tal ent told the Miner reporter this week. While some buds have turn ed brown, he stated there are still many times the number the trees can mature. Reimer stated Comice pears will be light, as they did not set heav ily, but that other fruits are well loaded with buds. Earl Newbry of the Talent district reports D'Anjous also rather light in buds. Mayor Thornton Wiley reports good prospects. With the report ed heavy loss by freezing in the Yakima valley the Rogue River district may have a prosperous year, say fruitmen.
