PAQE FIVE mm. MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFORD, OREGON. SUNDAY. MARCH 3, 1935. TOMATO ACREAGE 10 BE INCREASED The Bagley Canning company hai Just completed "shipping out all or 1U lait year'a tomato pack. On ac count of drouth and other unfavor able growing condition! last season, which conditions were prevalent In almost every tomato producing sec tion In the country, a proration on last year's advenes orders had to be made. Moisture and all other conditions look much mors favorable at the present time and a far more profit able crop and larger pack 'Is In pros pect. Plans for this year Include a con siderable Increase over last year's acreage, as the popularity of the Rogue river valley tomato products la rapidly increasing and a consider ably Increased pack will be necessary to keep up with this growing de mand. Particularly, last year'a pack of tomato Juice met with high acclaim and this part of the pack will be ma terially extended. Possibilities of a turther and new outlet for this Juice Is evidenced by the fact that a large coast export concern, after examining various speclmenta and brands, de cided that the quality of the local Juice was far superior in quality to all others and samples are now being forwarded to the Orient In an effort to establish this wider distribution. Ralph E. Koozer, manager, states that after a recent conference with the Tomato Marketing committee, which, under the AAA Is to control prices and acreages of fresh shipping tomatoes In Oregon and Washington, a price on canning tomatoes equiva lent to $12-80 per ton for U. S. No. I'b and $6.80 per ton for No. 3's was announced. Under the federal grad ing system, which has been employ ed by this company the past two years, all tomatoes received at the plant have averaged approximately seventy-five per cent U. 8. No. l's. The Bagley Canning company will make this Increase over last year's price by supplying its growers with finished off plants ready for the field at a total cost of (3.00 per thousand plants, thus absorbing the difference In plant cost, amounting In a sav ing to the grower this year of about S4.00 per thousand plants. This amounts to (8.00 per acre or approx imately 80c per ton, estimating on a ten ton per acre yield. By this system the cannery will have all Its plants produced under uniform sclentlflo methods, thereby Insuring a stand ard of quality and variety. Elecirlc ally controlled hotbeds and cold frames are now being Installed for this purpose. These beds will be quipped with tharmostatto temper ature controls, by which method, hardy and thrifty plants will be as sured for planting time. The cannery will contract about 400 acres of tomatoes this year with the expectation of handling upwards Of 4000 tons of fruit. This will be against an acreage of about 250 acres last year. Growers who are Interested in tomato culture for canning pur poses are asked to get In touch with the cannery officials either in Med ford or Ashland. .

At the close of the meeting Mr. Harder; Issued the following stntcment : "Once again I want to ask house owners and tenants to be as consid erate as possible to the solicitors by giving them the little Information they seek. Tills campaign can mean a great deal to Medford and Jack son county In stimulating business, especially along building lines. In normal times over four million men are employed In the building trades In America, whereas today there are less than one million working, bo there 13 plenty of opportunity for us to make headwoy If everyone co-op erates. The government, under the new deal, has done a great amount, In using government funds, to put men to work, to eliminate misery, hunger and unemployment, but for America to bring back normal busi ness conditions It Is up to the Indi vidual, in every community through out the United States. We cannot neglect that responsibility. Our Chamber of Commerce believes the housing act la a means to that end. I would like to point out that it la private money which la available for loans under this act, not govern ment funds. The government haa shown us the way and private busi ness must respond of its own accord. The cost of obtaining this money la $5 per alOO per year and loans can be made for a term of three years if necessary and can be repaid In regular monthly Installments. Tha solicitors are equipped to give you complete Information but should anyone desire further dnta they should get In touch with headquar ters In the chamber of commerce building.
