Space, And Now Cramped

Cteps were taken yesterday to pro
cure n enlarged federal Duiimng
taat all permanent government
agencies here might be centralized
In one structure.
The Initial step wai the dispatch
of a letter to Senator Charles U Mo
Nary requesting him to take up the
matter on behalf of Medford with
the postofflce department In Wash-
Ington.
With the letter went reports
space requirements . prepared by
postmaster Prank DeSouza, Super-
visor Karl L. Janoucn for the Rog
River national forest service and
Superintendent David H. Canfleld
for the Crater Lake national park
service,
The reports showed that additional
apace needed Is one and a half times
the space provided by the present
federal building, said Col. E. E. Kelly
who was appointed a month ago
chairman of a apeclal committee
tne Jackson County Chamber
Commerce to make a study of the
needs of permanent government
agencies here. Tho committee was
named by the cnamDer s Doaro
directors.
It was suggested that a two-story
wing could be added to the federal
building on the west side. .
It was pointed out by Col. Kelly
that federal agencies here are now
scattered for want of central ac
commodations. The forest service, he
emphasized, Is divided, part of the
staff occupying rented quarters aa
Joining the postofflce.
The park service, which makes Us
winter hesdquarters here. Is crowaea
and haa no space of Ita own at alii
being compelled to use the federal
courtroom. Judge's chambers and of
fices Intended for the Judicial staff,
Col. Kelly recalled.
Other government agencies are
scattered over a wide area, being
housed In both city and count
buildings, Col. Kelly said. He men
tioned federal hortlculturallsts,
tomologlsta, botanist and others
performing Important farm services,
the United Statea commissioner and
the army recruiting office.
It has long been felt that a larger
federal building was needed here but
this la the first aggressive atep to
rail the need officially to the at,
tentlon of the postofflce department,

How AFG Service
Helps Producers and Shippers
1. Producers and shippers (independents and cooperatives) raav
secure through AFG service the three essentials of modern
.food, merchandising (1) .a uniform product, (2) volume
' 8"PP3y and (3) a nationally advertised trade-mark. . Blue
Goose is never ont of season because the products sold under
this name are drawn from all the important commercial
shipping districts in the United States Florida, California,
Texas, Arizona, Oregon. Washington, Maine, the Carolina?,
Appalachian Mountain Fruit District and other areas.
2. They may secure at reasonable cost a marketing system that
fits their own special needs and provides, at the same time, a
comprehensive and understanding knowledge of general
industry affairs. AFG service applies just as efficiently to
potatoes, as to tomatoes, celery, citrus, apples, pears, grapes,
, or any other commodity. It works just as well in one
producing district as in another.
3. They may secure the trade and consumer confidence so
necessary for business transaction at least expense with most
satisfaction. AFG keeps a steady stream of all fresh fruits
and vegetables moving to market under its nationally
advertised Blue Goose trade-mark, with a good-will built up
over a period of almost twenty years. Take Grapefruit for
example. AFG is moving this commodity everv day in the
year from some point or other. The same is true of Apples
and other fruits and vegetables.
4. They may secure centralized control over the sale of their
products in the United States, Canada and all overseas centers
where American fresh fruits and vegetables are saleable
an executive management that provides strong organization
m commercial producing areas to deal direct 'with grower
includes the functions of packing and warehousing where
required; supplies adequate and orderly sales direction both
at shipping point and in world consuming markets.
5. They may secure the direct benefit of active, point-of sale
promotion which lifts their products immediately into a
position of importance to trade and consumer.
6. The.y may secure cooperation with themselves, with the
markets and with any and all legitimate movements that
