Thla year It expect to pack 76,000 caaea. Present lndlcatlona are that by the time the season opens thla enormously Increased pack will have been aold. . . , THIS la not a year, taking the country over, of large Increases In aales. 80, you see, when the Rogue River valley Increaaea lta tomato pack by more than eight times, and SELLS It, It Is a real achievement. It la likewise a fine tribute to the quality of the Rogue River valley tomato. REMEMBER, the pack last year was 9,000 cases. This year It will be 75,000 cases. Now let a real enthu siast talk. W. A. Dates, of Medford, who la the driving power behind the devel opment of the tomato Industry In the Rogue River valley, aald the other day to this write: "Mark this prediction: Three years from now, the Rogue River valley will be packing and SELLING a half million cases of tomatoes." m ; . , IP, BY any chance, you are one of the small few who lack confidence in the future of the Rogue River valley, put that In your pipe and smoke It. Orowlng and packing a half mil lion cases of tomatoea In this val ley will create quite an Important Industry In Itself. BUT let Mr. Gate's go on with his story: "On the Pacific Coast, west of the mountains, the Rogue River valley Is the only commercial tomato district north of Sacramento and north of Sacramento means clear to the north pole. In this area, there are more than two million people now, with more coming all the time. "There la a potential market In thta country up here for at least four million casea of tomatoea per year. When you remember that, la it un reaaonable to expect that we can pack and sell a half million cases In a year?" IP AN answer to' that question Is expected from this writer, here It Is: "Most certainly not. Especially when you recall that the Rogue River tomato Is at least the equal of the finest tomato grown in the United States." TPHIS summer, a'bout 365 acres will be planted to tomatoes In the Rogue River valley. This will require U HUM m Fill! ' BEAD i i . about a half million plants, and these plants will begin to go Into the ground about next week. The best of supervision will be pro vided for the growing of this crop. The American Can company will send to the Rogue River vslley and expert who draws a salary that la really too large to mention In public and earns It by hla knoweldge of vege table growing. Professor Bouquet, of Oregon State College, will also watch Vie growing of thla new crop. In addition, the services of Professor Relmer, of the Southern Oregon experiment station, will be available. There will be no lack of sound ad vice to insure a auccessful crop In this tint yesr of real commercial production. A RATHER unusual Job of financ ing thla tomato crop has been accomplished. No down payment will be required from the grower for his plants or hla fertilizer. All that can run forward until the crop la har vested and sold.
