Abundant harvests lmvq been the
rulo for half a century In tho smiling
valley of tho llogue. 1913 ' no
exception. Good crops and gooi
prices havo contributed their aharo
towards prosperity.
lu every way the valley Is In bet
ter condition than for years. The
Btlmulatlon of tntonslvo farming and
diversified production Is shown by In
creased shipments of all products
though In this respect as In others,
the valley Is still In tho Infancy of
its development.
The story of tho year's progress Is
concisely told In tho pages of this Is
sue. Approximately 1200 cars of
fruit havo been shipped as against a
100 a fow years ago. Tho prices re
ceived nro given by tho orchardlsls
themselves rather reluctantly given
in most Instances as tho pro
perties arc not on tho market. A
few years moro and tho output will
havo quadrupled for not only tho
growing but tho marketing and pro
tection problems nro most intelli
gently handled In this district
Industrial developments In other
lines is shown by tho beginning of
construction of a huge. cement plant.
deals pending for lumber mills, and
otforts under way to secure a rail
road to tho sea as well as over tho
Cascades, and tho construction of
permanent highways for tho tourist
traffic
No region offers tho homeseeker
moro than tho Hoguo river- valley
No whore Is lifo more enjoyable. No
where Is better opportunity, and
never were prospects brighter than
for this year of our Lord, 1914.

OF
The Medford high school afori
strong courses along tho academic
and vocational lines. Tho widest
choice is given in the matter of dec
tlves so that a pupil is given as much
freedom as possible lu following his
natural- adptatons. Aside from the
usual courses In languages, mathe
matics, science and history, a strong
commercial course is offered, as is
also a course In mechanical and arch
itectural drawing.
Tho vocational side .1 strongly
represented by tho department of
manual training, domestic art, and
domestic science. Tor tho girls a
strong course In household econom
ics Is planned to corrclato with sew
ing and cooking. Tho manual de
partment Is now being enlarged and
undergoing extensive changos to
mako room for more benches nud
some improved machinery. Tho man
ual departments nro all popular as
Is attested by tho large number of
students enrolled in thorn.
Vocal music Is a required study In
the schools of Medford, and iiiohi ox
cellent work Is being done In this de
partment. In tho high school oppor
tunity Is given pupils to do oxtru
work in chorus and orchestra, for
which regular credits nro given.
The total enrollment for this y.vir
1b 12 per cunt incroaso over Inst year,
and tho school enumeration shows
over 1,800 pupils between tho ago
of 4 and 20 years. Tho total enroll
ment for tho high school for tho cur
rent year will ruach, if not oxcoec',
300. This is duo to tho fact thnt
utmost 100 per cent of Medford's
eighth grado pupils contlnuo their
schooling by entering the high school.
Tho best and most energetic pupils
from tho outlying districts chooo
our high school on account of tho
varied courses and excellent advan
tages offered In tho special depart
nients. This gives the school n hlx'i
Intellectual as well as moral tone.
The instructors are above tho avr

In conclusion tho board of direct
ors devote no small amount of thulr
tlmo In giving to tho school children
)of Mmlford pleasant suiroiiudiugi,
' mid a varied course of study, thus
encouraging love of work, Industry,
concentration nnd accuracy.
I have found goats very profitable,
requiring little attontlou and a val
uable adjunct to any farm.
The uvorago yield of mohair from
wethers has been seven pounds, which
I sold this year nt .15 cents a pound
$2.25 per head. Tho entlro flock,
Including does and kids has averaged
$1.2S per head In mohair.
Tho average profit from every doo
fpr Boven years, has been $4.00, In
cluding mohair and kid.
I hnvo averaged 300 head of goats
for coven years and fed In the entire
tlmo loss thau a ton of hay the
goats proving hardy rangers.
Each year I tako flvo acres of my
poorest soil, corral tho goats for sor
ural mouths upon It, and the next

Is : mills on u valuation of $38,000,

Tho goats are building up tho
farm, clearing all brush, fertilizing
tho land,
There Is n steady sale for goat
meat at 3.2S per head, after taking
off ?2.25 In mohair.
This year I will reallzo over $1000
off 400 gouts. My expenses are only
what It costs to keep myself nnd

SHIPPED AT TALENT
The Uaglcy Canning company nt
Talent complotcd their second season
with the ending of 1913. Early In
the summer tho floor space of tho In
stitution was doubled and additions
to tho equipment greatly increased
the capacity over the previous season.
Every section of the valley con
tributed to tho produce used nnd In
stances were not unusual whero the
cannery afforded tho first market
which certain of tho fruits had found.
An idea of the output this year can
bo obtained from the following fig
ures. Thoro were 252,200 quarts of
fruit and vegetables of all kinds
canned which, when cased, weigh
592,000 pounds. This amount ould
make fourteen cars of 40,000 each.
Tho quality of the different grades
of these products havo stood tho
market test of comparison and havo
sold to the host wholesalers and re
ceived their best brands.
Tho activities of this company
whlch were limited this season to
canning plums, pears, peaches, ap
ples, tomatoes, beans and pumpkin
am expected to includo berries and
cherries next season.
1'uro applo elder vinegar Is another
product which has been produced in
quantity this yoar. This has met an
appreciative market and will prob
ably supply the entire local demand
very shortly.
Tomato catsup was manufactured
and placod on tho market this fall
and 13 taking well with tho trade.
This was placed In packages suitable
to the largo users of catsup.
.Marketing conditions havo ma
terially improved this season und
the labor problem was sohud by a
tent cump and exodus of workers
from tho valley and Northern Call-!
fomla points, j
Medford Is rapidly becoming n city
of beautiful homes. With tho growth
of tho city tins conic a great Improve
ment In architectural design nnd
finish. As tho new water system
has boon completed, Insuring an
abundnnco of life-giving moisture,
green lawns, shade trees nnd shrub
bery are replacing the patched yards
of the vlllngo era. Stately mniulons,
