MATERIAL PROGRESS
Tlii'i material progress ol tlio Koguo Ktver vnlloy is
shown by a comparison tit' agricultural imports and
exports from Southern Pacific roeoftls for the present sea
son as compared with those of three years ago. The eom
parison shows a mueh healthier eomtition of affairs, and
the coming three veal's should shown an even greater per
centage of gain in the production of staples. "The record
speaks for itself:
From July 1, 1310, to June 30,

COMMUNICATION.

To the Kditer:
According Io now-paper roMirti,
the Commercial club bus requested
the Southern I'neifio to grunt reduc
ed rates during the fruit packing sen.
son ns nn inducement for the orange
nnjl lemon pucker of California to
, -conic to this valley and pack our ap
ples nud Kaitrs. it seems to mo the
Commercial club In getting off on the
wrong foot here. I think I can bptak
for the members of tho Co-opcrntivo
Fruit Growers' association when I
say (hut we do not want the Califor
nia packers here, There nre plenty
of local people to do this work nnd
we would rather keep the money at
homo. 1'rncticnlly nil the puckers
wo employed were without expcrieiic.c
at the beginning of tho season, learn
ing to pack in our packing school,
nnd without an exception they were
doing very Fi.tisfnelory work before
tlio season closed. They were nil lo
cal peoplo mid tho money they earn
ed stayed in the Itognc Hiver valley.
Quite u percentage of the money
earned by tho California packers wus.
sptnt in California perhaps Is help
ing to build good roads and pay tuxes
across tho line, where it doesn't do
us any good. We turned away doz
ens of applicants lns,t hummer men
nud women, boys and girl all resi
dents ut the valley, who wanted to
Jeuui to pack fruit, and whom wc
would buvft been glad to employ if
wo bud hud work for them. TIo ury
that there nru not people licit) to do
this woik i without foundation.
Tliuro mny bo n hid; of experienced
pokers, but it doesn't take long to
educate u boy or girl who Im- uu
aptitude ut till for tho work.
I'lwifio put tho Co.ovrative Fruit
Growers association down us being
in favor of einoloying locfil people o
liandlo our fiult, and keeping tho
money at hoine, and against (he im
pollution of ouUido people nud send

Trade bnlnnce
om the above it will be seen that the balance of tradtt
has been turned from a deficient' v of -Ml cars imported to
a surplus of G3-1 care exported. Complete figures, showing
express shipments of eggs, poultry, vegetables, etc., would
show an even greater increase, for these products, form
erly imported by express, are now similarly exported and
total several carloads each. Cannery and dairy products
are also left out, and the' form an over-increasing ratio.
The government soil survey, published in 1912, com
menting upon the importation of agricultural products,
said, and tlio remarks arc true teday:
There Is absolutely no reason why tho products Imported should not
be crown within tho valley. The soils ana climatic conditions are favor
able, the only requirements being a more extonslvo development of Irriga
tion facilities nnd a movement to divert a' part of tho enersy of the farms
along new lines. There will always be a certain quantity of early fruits
and vegetables shipped In from other sections or the Pacific coast, us the
local climate does not favor an extremely early production of fruits anil
vegetable products. Aside from thesp early shipments, however, tho vat
ley could well afford to bo a shipper of this class of product, rather than
an Importer.
Climatic conditions are favorable for the livestock and
poultry industries. Most of the livestock imported this
year are blooded animals, and will raise the breed stand
ard. Hogs are a natural adjunct to tho orchard, and 1000
cars a year should be profitably exported. J'verv orch-
ardist should plan to make his orchard self-sustaining out
side of the fruit, and when this condition is accomplished
and it can be nothing can disturb the reign of prosper
ity in the Rogue River valley.
The future of truck gardening, berry culture and small
fruits depends largely upon canneries. Eventually half a
dozen large canneries will be operated most of the year.
Every effort must be made to establish them, on a small
scale if necessary at first, to grow with the valley's devel
opment. They are an essential if we are to continue to
progress.
An effort is now being made to establish a small can
nery at Medford. The necessary acreage of products has
been signed up. Four thousands dollars of the $5500
needed lias been subscribed by Medford business men.
The market for products is already arranired for. It is up
to the orchardists and funnel's to lend their co-operation
in starting this necessary institution. It should be followed
by enlargement and the establishment of similar canneries
needed elsewhere in the valley.
If von have not alreadv subscribed to this cannery
project, do it at once it will help create abiding pros
fields dry out quicker Hutu on plowed
ground ntnl aro harder to plow tli
following year wltllu thu, physical
condition of tho noil Is not ns good
for thu HUbsoqttont crop. Woods,
notably Itnsslnu thistles and tumbling
mustard, are ntiieli mora nuuiurous
on stnbhlod In fields, as nro iiIho In
sects In sottin cases. Tho reflections
upon ono'a credit and standing as a
farmer must also bo listed among tho
illsndvautniH'H.
Farmers state: If the ground Inn
boon deeply spring plowed tho onr
before and Is rich, loose, free front
wends and sown early, sttihbllng lu
Is nil right. I u a tow Instances
where the sttthhlu was burned off lu
ino spring Holier results wore se
cured than whore tho stubble was
not burned. A few Indorsed press
drills for this work.
Fioin tho oildenci! of these far
mers it would seem to bo generally
tinwlso to follow this practice. If
farmers would use foresight lit plan
ning their year's work tho MtihulliM
In of grain would rarely bo uccci
sary. The practice Is usually fol
lowed because more work has been
undertaken than could properly bo
accomplished In the time available
A better understanding by (armor
of the average length of season and
the nverngo day's work would tend to
greatly reduce tho number of casus
where stubbllng In would be uccct
sary.
