LAST year tha Bagley Canning
company, of Ashland, packed and
aold 8,000 casts of Rogue River cal
ley tomatoea.
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.
JU8T a word as to present possi
bllltlea of Vila new development,
so that we won t hare to feel that
all the benefit are reserved for the
future.
Somewhere In the neighborhood of
40.000 will be paid to tomsto crow-

TRENTON, N. J.. May 15
(AP) Governor A. Harry Moore
of New Jersey, late today said
he had been Informed by Colonel
H. Norman Schwarzkopf of the
state police that the kidnaped

at Hopewell, N. J.
Schwarzkopf Informed the gov

body was found by neighbors
near the Lindbergh home.
Governor Monre said he had
no further details regarding tne
matter.
Shortly before the governors
announcement was made, Col.
Schwarzkopf had summoned all
reporters to the Lindbergh home.
A formal announcement was to
be made there.
Today's developments answered a
question that had puzzled the na
tion alnce Tuesday night, March 1:
"Is the Lindbergh baby alive or
dead?"
; A brlak wind whistled through the
clear night outside the Bourland
mountain estate of the famous flier
as Mrs. Lindbergh, assisted by Betty
Oow, the nursemaid, put her 30-
month-old son to bed at 7:30 o'clock.
Mrs. Lindbergh last saw the baby
In his crib with Miss Oow bending
over him. Then she went down
stalra. Half an hour later the nurse
maid atopped on her way to the
kitchen to Bay the child had gone
to Bleep.
At 10:30 Miss Oow ran Into her
mistress' room and asked If Colonel
Lindbergh had taken the baby. When
the mother was unable to answer
the nurse maid, followed by Mrs.
Lindbergh, ran down to ask the
father himself.
After a brief search of the estate.
Colonel Lindbergh called police a
call that set Into motion the great
eat manhunt the nation had ever
witnessed, a hunt that was followed
closely for weeks by kings and
presidents, and millions of citizens
around the world.
