Said to be one of the finest of Its kind In the world, the now Medford pre-coollnj; and pccklnc. plant has been studied during and since its completion . by experts from various parts of the country. It has become one of the slht refine attractions for visitors to lh valley. Pci-Mnmel Hut as interesting as is the plant It self, the personnel respon sible for Its origin is even more so. Composed of a band of growers whose homes and orchards are nd have for many years been situ ated in the valley, these Medford Ites Kot together and decided to run competition to the alder estab lished commission houses in New York city. Accordingly, a few yenrs ao, they opened their own Bab's office! down on Franklin street, where, deafened by the crb-rf of deciduous aiid citrus wares Trom every fruit growinn locality in the country, they did their stuff for Kokuc Itivor Valley. Other sales merchants1 of the big rity. In pito of recocnlzlnpr the KUperior quality of Rogue Hiver Valley poara were handicappod in ."dmlttlng It publicly, even for the sake of effecting their sale. They owed the same allegiance to other locilities whose fruits und product- they were nlso marketing. Jack Spalding, in charge of the . S.

' Next came the pbniH for the elaborate Xi!00.000 packing, pre ; coollm; and storage plant locally. : which completed the system, and brought Medford leagues nearer the markets of the world through the threshold of New. York. With Leonard Carpenter presi dent, Colonel Vorhie, vice presi dent. Corning Kcnly. treasurer, Al fred Carpenter, secretary. Chanler Kuan a member of the board, and Paul A. Scherer. general manager, the executive staff of the plant is highly representative of Uogue Iiiver Valley's leading industry. The administration building to the south of the pb nt, with its large, well lighted offices and busy workers is an interesting Introduc tion to the 10 by 70 foot packing and storage building proper. f NWorkers Con-ddeml Here every effort has been con centrated on the production of ef ficiency, ecoiomy and comfort for Hie workers. With n constant tem perature, which on hot dny is at least 1.1 dcerens cooler than out hide, nnd a lighting system which precludt-s eye strain, tho large staff of packers and soHcrs easily turn out nruttml 10 car loads n day. A laboratory, where tests for hpray residue are made by nn ex pert every 20 minutes an original cushion cleat placid on the boxes 'for the protection of the fruit in shipping and S. O. S. patented conveyors arc some of tho fea tures of this new plant. Then there Is the pump, below the packing shed, brought from the drainage district of Louisiana, and of the type used to handle the flood waters of the Mississippi, which here, pumps three thousand gallons of water per minute through the flumes of the parkin house. There are the uctd pump" w.hch Bornl 2TiO gallons of m id per minute up through rubber or Itcd wood pipes for the nch proc". These are a story in lhems-lves. M-ijor Wm. M.
