TOMATO DISEASE
SHOWNJYRDMER
Scientific Selection of Blight
Free Seed Since 1932
Bringing Results at Tal
ent Experiment Station
Opening with th astounding fltet-
ment that in many tomato fields of
the valley the loss this year due to
tip -blight would run from 45 to 80
per cent- Professor P. C. Reimer yes
terday afternoon ahowed a group of
businessmen and members of tne
county court the remarkable results
obtained in scientific selection of
blight-free seed since 1932, when the
work was first started, at the county
experiment station near Talent.
Pipf. Reimer first showed the group
s field of tomatoes planted from
ordinary commercial seed. Over half
of the field had been withered and
destroyed by the blight. In another
field about an acre in extent, where
election bad been used, the lose due
to blight was about eight per cent.
Same Iteslstant Seed
The Professor then showed the men
how the results had been obtained.
' in ivii a crop ox tomatoes was pi ant
ed from ordinary commercial seed.
By the end of the year only la plants
of the entire seeding remained unaf
fected by the blight, and seeds were
taken from these plants and planted
ogfUn the next year. In 1033, a whole
mw ?,!.inti onnarfintlv Immiltw
to the disease was the reault. Seeds
from this row were planted again last
year. i
The vield Inst vear showed about I
half as much blight as the ordinary I
commercial seed, check rows Indi
cated. The best plants from last
year's crop were seeded over a one
acre tract this year, and the result
showed only about eight per cent dis
eased, a reduction from SO, per cent
of blighted plants three years before.
Experiments were being made year
ly to see what variety produced the !
heaviest yield, also taking into con
sideration the size, firmness and color
of the fruit. Results are shown In the
long rows of 25 plants each, of differ
ent varieties, now ready for harvest
at the station,
ltosults Are Plain
While In one row of selected seed
there was only one affected plant, in
ft check row adjacent, planted with
ordinary Indiana commercial seed, 14
of the 25 plants were ruined by the
blight. In commenting upon the sit
uation. Professor Reimer said that
the blight Is peculiar to this district,
not being found in Indiana where
most of the seed planted here Is
raised, nor even In the Willamette
valley.
The one-acre field of almost blight-
free tomatoes will be devoted for seed
purposes this year. Prof. Reimer Indi
cated. He surprised his audience when
he stated that one plant will yield
enough seed to plant an acre of to
matoes, and the experiment farm will
be able to provide enough blight -resistant
seed this vear to aumiw th
demand In the entire valley or about
60 pounds. Asked if the results in
bringing the blight toll down from an
average of about 60 per cent of tho
tftfttotal crop In 1032 to leas than eight
per cent in iuao would continue un
til there wna no longer a blight men
ace In the valley, the Professor stated
that he foresees such a condition
within the next few years.
YVIII Aid Industry
With an end to the blight menace,
tomato growing should prove a tre
mendously profitable venture here,
according to O. O. Alenderfer, an of
ficial of the Dngley Canning company
of Ahhland, one of thcuc present
Alenderfer stated that good tomatoes
will bring H3 ton. Proressor Reimer
estimated that as a result of his ex
periments with the choicest plants,
he will be able to produce a one-acre
field which will yield 20 tons a year.
His one-acre field this year will pro
duce better than 10 tons, he ewti
mated. The Medford men who visited the
station yesterday were county JuttRe

GET RICH QUICK
PROMOTERS ARE
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3. (AP) rr
"Rogues Gallery" of 30,000 names has
been compiled by the securities and
exchange commission to aid It in
weeding out fake stock salesmen and
promoters.
The list Is dotted With the names
of "get rich quick" promoters ac
cused of preying upon the investing
publio back In the boom days with
promises of wealth from worth leas se
curities.. David Sapersteln, . director of the
trading and exchange division, said
today tho list was proving Invaluable
n the examination of applications
for registration from over-the-counter
security dealers.
The commission has ruled that all
over the counter traders must be
registered by January 1 t ocontlnuo
operation in securities of an Inter
state nature.
The "Rogues Oalleiy" li chiefly
composed of individuals alleged to
have been found selling fake securi
ties through high pressure methods,
bucket shop operators, and promoters
of worthless stock Issues.
These men find the going easiest,
Sapersteln said, when a new Industry
is springing up. They flourished by
selling stocks In fake radio companies
during the early days of the radio
boom, and later, after Lindbergh's
flight, found the going easy In worth
less airplane company securities.
