W. A. 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." E

young red-haired bride of a day sailed

strode hurriedly. Grinning, the sec
retary of the interior said:
"We stayed at a small three-room
wayside hotel at Corkbeg last night.
We are going direct to London and
then probably to the continent before
returning to the United States In
three weeks."
The smiling bride, the former Jane
Dahlman. 35-year-old Smltn college
graduate, wore a Jaunty tan swagger
coat and skirt. The 64-year-old bride
groom did all the talking.

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.'
Dletrlck 's downfall came after he
pumped gas from the storage tank
of A. E. Johnson, owner of the Mill
service station at 118 Mc Andrews
road, Monday night. Johnson was In
side the station with the lights out,
unseen to Dletrlck, and reported the

of one of his steady customers. The
customer was questioned and Dlet

pigeonholed. Chairman Wheeler ( CI- ;
