E. Koozer, vice-president and general manager of the Bagley Canning com pany, W. A. Qates, sales manager, ,- and Vic Beck man, cannery .atatls- ttcian. A crop, which will fill, when canned, 75.000 cases. Is predicted by ' k Mr. Gates and the other two mem ( bers of the tour. " A 24 hour a day cannery run Is also . foreseen for the peak of the tomato I season and 400 workers, exclusive of I tho&6 employed In field work and ; trucking will be hired In preparation : of the crop for consumption next winter. "Prom all appearances the yield J per acre will be the largest the Rogue B River valley has ever known," Mr. Gates stated this morning. "And the 5 beautiful part of it all la. with the Immense yield, the local growers have coalso produced fine quality tomatoes, jufhey are uniform In size and of the Smoothness desirable.' s"Some patches will yield as many of i a ton per acre per day, Mr, Gates rr also stated and one of the finest " crops Is growing between the rows of a pear orchard, a well known orch ardist taking advantage of the possi bilities offered in southern Oregon for producing two paying crops on the same acreage." Harvesting and canning of the Rogue River valley crop will start next week and growers are awaiting the arrival of the season with great optimism, seeing In the growth of to matoes better days for southern Ore gon farmers, the tour and Interviews yesterday revealed. "The quality of this year's crop promises to be such that It will eclipse all past records of valley to matoes, accepted as superior to any of their western competitors." Mr. Gates further stated this morning, reviewing his Inspection of plantings In all sections of the valley. " "For the first time In history a stuffing tomato will be prepared for the market. It will be canned, whole, and In such a manner as to be suit able for stuffing and salads during the winter season, a food greatly de ilred by housewives. This new pro cess Is made possible," Mr. Gates ex plained, "by the characteristics of the local tomato, which Is believed to be the only one with the firm texture required for this type of canning." The local growers will receive $11 a ton for this year's crop, which will do much toward adding to the future prosperity of the section, considering the number of tons produced per acre. Weather conditions are at present Ideal for the proper ripening of the tomato and extensive preparations are being made for the harvesting next week.
