Editor Mair Tribune, Medford, Ore., Dear Sir: I noted tho contents of a communication from tho Capital City Nursory company, to you, dated tho 25th Inst. It has grossly misstated tho facts in rogurd to tho rejection of nursery stock shipped to tho various points in Siskiyou county by tho Capital City Nursory company of Saloni, Ore. I have troatod the ghlpmontu of this nursory wtock the same as tho ship ouents from other nurseries. The communication states that tho re was $2S8 worth of nursery Block bhipped to Yroka. $100 worth of this nur sery stock was Inspected and deliv ered to A. 8, Calkins and not con demned, besides, shrubbery which their agent at Yreku vnluod at about $100. This would loavo tho valuo of tho romnlnlng fruit trees at Yreka at 3g, only a part of which havo boon rejected and condemned. When tho president of thn Capital City Nursory company, Mr. Donnett, was at Yroka ho bad an attorney opiplojod to roprosont and protect Ills lutnrosts. My, Hon not t and I proceeded to all tho dlfforent sta tions togothor where tho nursery Btock was. Ho porsonally examined nil rojectod troes. If those trcos wero not diseased ho hud his attor ney and his romody In court. Why did ho not uso thorn? Tho con demned trees woro burned whon Mr, Donnott was horo. Tho lnws of Cali fornia do not allow tho dost ruction of property. Whon an officer goos beyond his duties ho becomes por Bonully liable. Tjioso trees wore not dostroyod, but held for ovldonco until Mr. Hon nott nrrlyod horo, in oukc Mr. lion nott 8nw fit to go to court. Yours very, truly, JOS. P.

NEGLECTING nO'MT1, iMo-hfv nc iiinofv em's nf nninfrtos worn shinned i i Vi i ,; ,, ,l. ,, 'lu W-7 info the Koyiip Rivor vnllev last vear. 'be ouantitv . . , .. this vear will be nearly as great. V few years ago the valley was exporting potatoes. There is no reason under thc.tfuu why its farmers should not he exporting them today. There is no valid excuse for sending tens of thousands of dollars out of here annually for a product that we can easily supply ourselves. Hardly a place that will not, with intelligent care, produce with irrigation an abundant crop of needed staples. Here is an instance of what potatoes will do here: Fred Pulil, an energetic farmer near 'desert ' land idle. He bought water tor it, and m one year paid, for his water and made a handsome profit be-, sides, ne planted one acre of potatoes, which yielded lo0 sacks, which he sold for $1.50 per sack or $225 for the acre. There are thousands of acres of this land awaiting cultivation. Another instance of the mono potatoes yield: Scott Davis and A. S. Eosenbaum nlanted twelve acres of Rogue river irrigated bottom land in the Table Rock dis trict to potatoes. They secured 1800 sacks of marketable spuds, and are feeding forty hogs with the undersized potatoes. These potatoes they have sold in the vicinity of $1.50 a sack. "Whyi not produce what we consume, in at least one line? Every farmer can do it with water. Turn back the pages of time a few years and the Rogue River valley is seen a large exporter of poultry. Today it is an importer. "Why? George L. Davis, now county commissioner, stales that for years he bought from $10,000 to $20,000 worth of poultry, mostly turkeys, every fall, and shipped to San Prancisco. In those days turkeys only brought 8 and 10 cents a pound. Every farmer's wife reared them and they furnished the valley's Christmas money. Now they are worth from 20 to 25 cents a pound and scarcely anyone real's turkeys, not enough raised to make a shipment. These are but two everyday products among the many overlooked by Rogue River valley producers which al most anyone can supply. The country will not be upon a sound basis until it is an exporter in other lines than fancy fruit. AVe must first feed our own population then feed tho world with our surplus. It is an absurd and humiliating confession that we do not produce the necessary a b c's of farm life, that with ideal climate, soil and natural advantages we have passed up the very foundation of a successful community, but as confession is good, let us see to it that our ways arc mended ere another season is upon us. Let us reform and plant something to supplement our orchards. Instead of breaking the orchard planting record with 15,000 acres of fruit trees, let us vary it with 15,000 acres of potatoes and other produce that the markets of the world are clamor ing for.
