PXGE EIGHT IfEDFORD MXIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1932. I E So. Oregon Experiment Sta tion Seeks to Cut Growers' Losses Work to Be Ex plained at Field Meeting Til Southern Oregon Experiment Station at Talent, under direction of Prof. F. O. Belmer ha started work on the development of a blight resls tant tomato plant. Blight the pest season caused heavy losaea In the tomato crop of the valley, loae rang ing from five to 78 per cent In some of the fields. The work to date on procuring a blight resistant tomato, will be among the efforts explained to farmers and orchardlsts at the "Field day" to be held at the station tomorrow. Dr. Frank McWhorter, of the Ore gon State college, a specialist In dis eases of the tomato, will visit the valley about October 1, to confer with Prof. Relmer on the tomato blight work. Dr. McWhorter has made two previous studies of valley tomatoes. ' Bore Immune Seed In many of the bllght-rldden to mato fields of the valley, there were tomato plants that were Immune from blight. Seed will be saved from the beat of these plants. Next season they will be planted. From this It la hoped to develop a blight resistant strain. The Talent station developed s blight resistant pear, that has been successful, and expects to gain the same results from Its tomato plant researches. The time element will be shorter. Prof. Relmer, at the same time, bones to develop a tomato that will mature much earlier, enabling the grower to harvest all his tomatoes before the frosts of October. Each year many tomatoes die on the vine because of the delayed ripening. Fleins Studied During the past month or so, a study has been made of all the to mato fields of the valley, and from the fields and plants that have no tomato blight will be procured the blight resistant seeds. The experimentation, if successful, will save thousands of dollars to the tomato growers of the valley. R. E. Koozer, manager of the Bagley can nery, sees great hope In the work, and the future of the tomato Indus try. Prof. Relmer said yesterday that the soil and climate of this section are Ideal for tomato culture and that "the securing of a bllght-reslstant tomato" will solve the problem now facing the tomato growers. The seed now used Is the "Indiana Canner" variety and the aim la to produce a blight resistant strain adapted to local soil and cllmatlo conditions. Other Projects Underway The tomato research work comes under the head of projects now tinder way at the station, which Include de velopment of pear stocks, pear breed ing, pear thinning, Boas oedema, alaty Boao pears, and quince blight. Agricultural activities Include plant food Inventory of soils, sulphur fer tilisers for alfalfa, and grain crop studies. One of the most Important studies ef the experiment station in the pant year concerned the use of well water for spraying. This resulted In the discovery that certain well water of the valley produced a scald on the leaves of the trees. The research and sclentlflo work of the station In the past 31 years, have produced Invaluable aids In farm and orchard culture of the valley. 12,055,187 Shop In Gotham Area NEW YORK, Sept. 37.

HOFFMANN'S Sixth h Holly street CLOSED ROGUE AS T The following editorial, "The Value of a Closed River,' by-Paul R. Kelty in the Oregonlan, la of Inter est to southern Oregonlans; As It seems to this newspaper, the voters should disapprove with con vincing finality the referendum, ap pearing on the November . ballot, would keep t,be celebrated Rogue river open to commercial fishing, in In 1030 The Oregonlan opposed the suggested constitutional amendment prohibiting net fishing In that stream, but Its position In this In stance waa dictated solely by the belief that the method was Inadvis able. In 1031 the legislature, tho not unmindful of the fact that the people bad recently refused to enact the constitutional amendment, waa nevertheless so persuaded trhat the Important legacy of the Rogue was at stake, and in peril of dissipation, passed a measure closing the stream, and thla by overwhelming vote. It la against thla measure that the pending referendum la Invoked, as was the privilege of the commercial Interests which did so. The case for the Rogue river as a sportsman's stream, in contrast to Its dwindling Importance as a com mercial factor of any consequence In Oregon fisheries, has, we believe, been proved repeatedly. Briefly, It may be said that commercial fishing in the Rogue must come to an end so soon as possible or else all fishing will cease. It Is no longer profitable and the history of recent years Is written heavily with the red Ink of failure. It Is but natural that some few commercial fishermen should re sist the Inevitable, but It would be a foolish public sympathy, a mis guided , solicitude, that sustained them in this endeavor. If practical return from the river la considered, and the argument la based on this only, it will be seen that the Rogue as an angler's water la far more productive of revenues Vian It Is aa a river wherein net fishing Is per mitted to slaughter almost the en tire seasonal migrations of salmon and to little or no profit. A comprehension of thla truth Is evident at the very mouth of the river. In the former stronghold of the commercial Interests, where the Gold Beach Chamber of Commerce recently refused to Indorse the ref erendum. The businessmen of Gold Beach are learning that the lean, un certain revenues of commercial fish ing, which dangerously depletes of game fish one of the moat celebrated angling streams In the world, are but meager when compared to the community profits that are derived from visiting sportsmen. In. the present year the average Rogue riv er salmon la valued, perhaps at 80 cents when taken commercially, yet when captured by a tourist, who has been attracted to the river by Its reputation for unexcelled angling, the value of an Identical salmon be comes approximately $10, through mi ND!

In which ths river la known to sportsmen Irom other states and countries, and Ashed by them. Is convincingly shown by reports of the two principal fishing license agen das In Grants Pass, where many ateelhead anglers mass their head quarters. These agencies sold more licenses to non-residents last year than were Issued to residents The Rogue Is, you may be certain, no minor asset to the stats It Is as renowned, though for a different reason, as Crater lake or the Colum bia river highway With the practice of conservation, and the stopping of commercial fishing. It will constitute a perpetual source of revenue to the game fund and to business and ag ricultural Interests. But a flahless river soon oeasea to be famous, and pays no taxes nor sny account.
