COMMUNICATIONS.
YitEICA, Cal., Nov. 27, 1911.
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. WETZEL,
Horticultural Commlsslonor and
Ktuto Qimrnntluo auardltin for Sis-

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.
