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.

GREATER SAFETY
Twenty tight per cent mors mile
age with greater safety la promised
with the new Riverside tires, accord
ing to C. D. Bean, local Montgomery
Ward and Co., manager.
Mr. Bean says; "Every test has
proven that the new Riverside will
give greater traction, longer non-skid
protection and greater safety. The
thicker, flatter tread is built of super
vitalized rubber, and Riverside's cen
ter traction, non-skid tread blocks
give two-way skid protection. The
carcass of the new Riverside tire is
doubly Insulated against blowouts."
"Because we know the new River
sides are good we back them with tha
strongest written guarantee we have
ever offered. They are guaranteed
against everything that can happen
to a tire In service."

A meeting of the Jackson County
Better Housing campaign commit
tee and the solicitors who will con
duct the field survey, wns held last
night at the Chamber of Commerce
at which time plans were completed
for the house-to-house canvass which
will commence tomorrow morning.
Members of the housing commit
tee from Ashland were- also In at
tendance. B. E. Harder outlined the I
provisions of the National Housing
Act following which every detail In
connection with the Medford cam
paign was thoroughly discussed. 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.
