Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TUIBUNE, MEDFOK1), OREGON, TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 12. 1935 PAGE THREE APPLE GROWERS OF ROGUE AREA 10 Society and Clubs By JAKKT WRAY SMITH Plana are now toeing formulated for the organization of apple grow er so that mutual problems of pro duction and marketing may be dis cussed and solved, the Mall Tribune was told today by Charles A. Wing, one of the largest growers and pack era of Newtown apples in the Rogue valley. Upon the request of several orch ardlsts Mr. Wing said he would call a meeting of apple growers In the near future upon his return from a trip to southern California. Mr. Wing was optimistic about the future prices of Newiuwn apples. Since severe frosts did considerable damage to crops In the northwest, numerous Inquiries have been receiv ed here regarding the supply of New town apples In tht valley, he said. To explain his optimism he pointed out also that there have been prac tically no new plantings of the New town variety In the Rogue river area In the past five or six years. At the same time, he said, production has been decreasing' elsewhere. The Wing packing plant completed Us operations for the season last Tuesday when the 25th carload that had been sold was shipped. Practi cally the entire tonnage vfrom the Wing Orchards, he stated, was ex ported to London and Liverpool. Sat isfactory prices were obtained, he said, a few carloads having been sold . to net 85 cents a box. Since his last shipment Mr. Wing said he had received inquiries re garding Medford Newtown apples from Singapore and Egypt. "Owing to the fact that those mar kets require a green Rewtown apple, the Medford district Is In very great favor there.' Mr. Wing declared. It Is Mr. Wing's conviction that the chief difficulty here In the past has been that the grower haa neg lected his apples. This, he said, has resulted in excessive production costs per packed box. Another handicap, he stated, was that some orchardlsts permitted sale of their apples on consignment rnther than for cash here. Gabby To Manage Club In St Paul ST. PAUL. Nov. 12.

Under the skllfull piloting, the gon dola scarcely bumped as It touched earth, The airmen opened a rip panel on the balloon and tne mewi gondola rolled to one side and stopped. Henry Ubel, who was not 60 feet from the craft when 1t landed, said the gondola came down "like a feather." "There wasn't a bounce." he said. "The big gaa bag flattened out as they opened the rip panel, and the two captains, 'apparently tickled to death.' climbed out. unhurt and not even scratched." The captains organized vi-.-mteers to hold off souvenir seekers, and later went to Kimball, 18 miles away, for a night's rest. Large Towns Visible The flier, said they noted a marked curvature of the earth from the height of 73,000 feet. They said they were impressed by the lack of detail In the earth's surface. Larger towns were visible, but blurred, they re ported. Captain Anderson said he was con fident the balloon could have gone at least 8.000 feet higher. He em phasized that his calculation of a 73.000-foot celling waa subject to check of the "meterograph" which was suspended below the gondola. "But we had a pretty good baro graph." he added.
