MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, AUGUST 8, 1932.
PAGE TITREE
CROP WILL BIG
Tomatoes, tomatoes everywhere,
and lots of the Juice to drink Is
today's forecast from the Rogue River
valley, following the extensive survey
of plantings made yesterday by R. 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.
The Bagley Canning company is
no7 employing a shift of 70 laborers
In the canning of the local bean
crop.
