C Rclmer haa nearly completed the third year of a seed selection program at the south ern Oregon experiment station. A sturdy, healthy type of plant Is being developed in the valley by selecting seed each fall from the moat resistant and perfect plants from fields which are badly dleaaed. Splendid results )iave already been accomplished. Pro fessor Rclmer says, and by the end of next season the seed of the new strain should bo ready to use for mass production. Growers, through larger crops of higher quality tomatoes, and canners, through better prices for their pro ducts, will be benefited by the plan. It 13 hoped that within the next few years Inferior strains of tomato plants will be eliminated from the valley, and that with the natural conditions which make southern Oregon an Ideal tomato-ratAlng district, the home grown plant will increase the tomato Industry hero to one of major Im portance. Plan In Operation Since the fall of 1032 Professor Relmor has been at work on the plan, going Into - the plots at the experiment station each fall and selecting seed only from the finest ( lnea. Three things are considered In making the selections freeness from the disease known as curly-top, free aiesa from tip-blight, and the quality of the fruit, Its color, shape and smoothness. Although seed Is also taken from poorer plants, and carofully labelled as to lta origin and characteristics, only that from the sturdy type of vine la used In, the next step of the program. After being washed, dried, labelled and put Into separate pack ages according to plots and Individual rows from which It came, the seed Is laid away until the next season. Then each selection Is planted In one row, and the process Is repeated. Profeesor Reimer haa at present more than GO lots of the different type of plants, the best of which are already highly reiilatant to dlseaac, and characterized by large, high quality tomatoes. .May 'lake Be vera I Venrs Although It la hoped that next sea son the strain will be perfected, Pro fessor Reimer stated that the process may have to be repeated for a few more years. When the perfected seed has been acquired, It will be given to some careful, progressive grower who will devote hU time to nothing but producing large quantities of red, to establish the strain. The seed will be planted in plots away from other tomato fields, to prevent cross palllnatlon with Inferior plants. When tho atrnln haa been estab lished, growers throughout the valley will buy their seed from the quantity which haa been produced In the establishing plots, InMead of ordering seed frcm outside sources. In this manner, Rogue River valleys own type of tomato, resistant to prevailing local diseases, and adapted to local roll and climate conditions, will be established. Now l'e Imllami Seed At present, Professor Ttelmer states, valley growers aro obtaining their seed from Indiana, and growing al most entirely the strain known as the "Indiana Canner." While this strain haa been selected for resistance to disease in Its own locality. It Is quite susceptible to the Infections, which have so severely damaged the local crop dudrlng the past several years. The most serious problem this year haa been the tip-blight, believed, like the curly-top, to be a virus disease. Carried by Insects which have lived through and multiplied In the past winter, tlp-bllght haa caused a lews of an high as AO per cent In some fields. Professor Reimer estlmatea. Another advantage of the seed selection program Is that plant may bo developed which will bsr and ma ture fruit earlier In the season than standard varieties. In this way pro duction can be enormously Increased, If the full capacity of a plant la end ed before the fall frosts. At present a high percentage of plants are killed while their 'fruit Is still green and undeveloped. Aid lit Selection Although Professor Reimer la doing all the seed selection work, he haa been agisted during the summer by J. A. Mllbralth, graduate of Washing ton State college, who devoted hi time entirely to the study of diseases. Mllbralth, who returned north Friday, waa the assistant of Dr. Frank F. McWhorter of Oregon State college, while In southern Oregon. Dr. Mc Whorter is working on the pathologi cal phase of the program. The same type of work haa met with great success In eliminating dis eases of pear trees, In a similar cam- NOTICE GLADIOLUS GROWERS H ha runic to thr notice 01 the tllndlnlua Awwlathm that tuiu tiladlulua hnt out blunincd out, or hara nlltrd.

(Associated Press Photo) palgn of seed selection which has' been carried out over a period of more than 10 years. The same results, Professor Reimer believes, can be ob tained with tomatoes. In leas than half the time that was required with pears. Tent Next Year Next year will be, the test of the whole program, the professor stated. Indications are now that the plan will meet with success, sa the type of plants that have already been pro duced through seed selection are su perior to commercial strains still Im ported by valley growers. This week Professor Reimer will start a new phase of the program. He will take cuttings from the best plants of the new strain, to be placed In a greenhouse during he winter. The seed from these plant may be used next year, with absolute certain ty that there haa been no crosa-polll-natlon with Inferior plants. The amount of tomatoea necessary to produce enough seed to distribute among valley growers will be tremen dous. Professor Reimer stated. To produce 10 pounds of seed, ono ton of tomatoes Is necessary. Therefore when the strain la finally definitely established, It will be a vast protect to produco enough seed to enable valley growers to supply the canner ies with their usual tonnage. That the program has already re sulted In a superior type of plant than many commercial varieties, Is shown by the fact that Ralph Koozcr, manager of the Bngley Canning Co.. at Ashland, has made arrangements to use the new seed for his next year'a supply of tomatoes. With Professor Reimer, Mr. Koozer selected the best plants In the experi ment station plots, and arranged with Otto Bohnert of Central Point, promi nent grower, to used this seed for hi? next year'a crop. Mr. Koorer already believes that he will be able to pro duce a better strain of tomatoes In this way than he would otherwise raise from Indiana Canner heed. ATTACK ON MIRY S.U.BM.

Better ask yourself this question before you drive your car through an intersection or if you are a pedestrian before you step from the curb, during the next two weeks. This is the warning Issued by local, county and state police aa the state wide "Let's Quit Killing" drive, spon sored by the Oregon State Motor as sociation. American Legion, Parent Teacher association and other groups, swings into its second two-week peri led. Violation of right-of-way laws is the offense on which police are con centrating their enforcement efforts during this part of the drive to re duce Oregon's mounting accident toll, which increased 20 per cent in injur ies and 26 per cent in fatalities for the first eight months of this year, as compared to the same period in 1033. Briefly, right-of-way laws of Ore gon may be summed up aa follows: Most Important of all, since a large perecentage of the more than 200 killed in accidents this year in Ore gon have been pedestrians, is the rule that the pedestrian crossing a street or highway In a marked safety lane or an unmarked lane at the end of a block, haa the right of way. When two automobiles enter an in tersection at the same time, the car on the left must yield to the one on the right, but a car entering the In tersection first has the right of way. After making a full stop on entering a "through" street or highway, the motorist so entering has the right of way over vehicles on tho "through" strtfet, except those within the inter section or bo close aa to constitute an immediate hazard. The same rule applies to the driver who haa properly signaled for a left turn. However, a car entering a public highway from a private roadway Is required to yield the right of way to all cars approach ing on the public road. Use Mall Tribune want ads.
