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.

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
