Medford packing house managers are being urged to use local labor t in tne nurvest os iar as is puiu'c. The re is believed to be a sufficient? ' number of persons here to till aii ; Jobs this year. The matter is being taken up by the Chamber of Com- tmerce and the Rogue Valley Trail ic Association with the probable resuic . that local labor will profit con i Kideiably. - Few orchards are picking pears yet, Only a few Jobs are opening up.
