Ilnunvfcll's Letter
Portland. Ore., Feb. 13, 1015.
Mr. W. H. Gore,
Medford, Oregon.
Dear Mr. Gere:
I was tory much surprised and dis
appointed Indeed on yeatcrday, when
Mr. Storey stepped Into tho lobby of
tho hotel and presented a report ot
tho results of his work In Rogue river
valley.
aI immediately went over his list of
acreage and I find that be has a total
ot about 2100 acres; And when he
bolls this list down to where it
should be, he has but about 1S00
acres that are In condition to plant
to beets this year. The 600 out of
ike 2100 acres lie telRi, MB ,l,exeel-t
lent land, but very foul wltU wild
oats and other noxious weeds, and to
attempt to grow beets on land that
Is Improperly prepared, would be
ruinous to the enterprise, would tend
to dlscourago the farmer and' would
bo against us In getting the results
that should bo obtained. Thus ths
whole enterprlso would be so be
clouded that I am of the opinion that
It would bo useless to proceed any
further this year, unless wo can havo
better assurance that tho proper
acreage can bo had, which secms-t
this time, a physical Impossibility.
l'kin toe Xcxt Year
Wo aro expecting word from our
peoplo at any moment, authorizing
us to proceed. But since we are un
ablo to report tho signing up ot the
proper acrcago, ot course, thoy will
not consider It any further.
I am very much surprised. Mr.
Goro, at tho outcome of your cam
paign. I -know you havo workod
vory faithfully. I know that tho peo
plo generally, nro vory niiy!h en
thused. I know you need this en
terprise thoro, and I say, I am vory
much surprised at tho small acreage
that has been signed up.
At tho gamo time. I realize this,
that very much ot your best land is
already seoded Into other crops,- and
whllo It coutd not bo had for this
year, doubtless could bo had for next
and succeeding years, but as you will
readily see. It would be unwise and
unbusinesslike on our part to mako
an effort with such a small acreage an
1500 acres. In fact, as I havo said,
our peoplo would not consider It at
all.
Now tho question coma to mo; la
It not better tor us to notify our p?
plo that we can not go ahead this
year, but aak thorn to renow tholr
