Gates Tells Bankers 300 Acres Production Would Mean Systema tized Grading, Marketing Systematic planning, production and maketlng of agricultural produce would vastly Increase farm Income of Jackron county. William A. Gates, food store merchant, told Tuesday - night's meeting of 'he Southern Ok T gon Bankers association in the Hotel Med ford. What he called the present "hit and miss" methods of production can be attributed to the failure of busi ness Interests to provide adequate outlets for farm produce, Mr. Gates declared. Jackson county, he said, la sur rounded by areas, such as Klamath Falls and northern California, that cannot produce perishable produce, their natural products being staple commodities, he asserted. Onions Cited. If the markets of those areas were properly cultivated, Jackson. . county could be kept busy-supplying them with . the produce that now Is I brought from distant sections, Mr. Gates emphasized. In the connection, he said that, paradoxically. Jackson county's seeming geographic disad vantage Is really an advantage. t To lllustrnte his topic, Mr. Gates cited sweet Spanish onions. Jackson county, he said, has numerous and . extensive areas where onions of su- perior quality can be raised. He as serted that interests now operating largo onion enterprises in the Lake Labish country and elsewhere are prepared to establish a business In Medford, provided a sufficient pro duction in the i county can be as sured. He added that about 300 acres of onions would be required to bring the business here. It has been esti mated by the county agent's office that about 10 acres have been plant ed to onions this year. Would Have Plant. The Lake Labish organization would establish a plant here for the proper handling, grading, packing and mar ketlng of the onions so that top prices would be procured. Mr. Gates re lated. If assured of sufficient pro duction, the enterprise Is prepared to establish the plant here next year, he added "There is an abundance of land for onion cultivation In Jackson county," Mr. Gates said. "What the county needs Is diversification of farm products coupled with scien tifically planned production and mar keting. The onion yield per acre here is high, the onions are of top quality y and possessed of keeping qualities so tnat they can be held for the best market prices. "The dairy business of the county la now established on a firm and profitable basis. It has been stabil ized by the state milk control board and that shows what can be accom plished through systematic planning. "With the proper effort, onion pro duction and marketing can also be put on a productive and profttaole basis. At various times such a pro gram of planned agricultural produc tion has been started here but has never been completed.- The farmers themselves have done a good Job by trucking their produce to markets, but what Is needed is a concerted ef fort by business interests to accom plish a balanced program of pro duction."

Under the front seat was a 15 -gal Ion gas tank, which, he told police, he could fill In three minutes easily with a hose attached to the tank and dropped down the fill pipe Into the station storage tanks. Dletrlck merely turned on the motor of his car, state police ex plained, and the gasoline was sucked up through the rubber hose and Into the auxiliary tank, 'from there going to the regular tank when Dletrlck turned on the valve. The gas thief told police he put his gadget Into action only at service stations where the cap to the fill pipe was unlocked.'
