AIM OF GRANGERS
FOR LOCAL MEAT
Project Talked As Means of
1 Bettering Prices On Val
ley Stock To Meet With
C. of C. Heads Sept. 12
Bassanio
Br Maud I'ool.
A meat packing plant lor Rogue
river valley 'Was revealed today la a
goal set by Jackson county grangers
and Medford merchants for the sec
ond step In an economlo plan which
Includes an already successful mark'
ting agency for hogs At a grange
oounty agricultural meeting, held at
the office of County Agent R,
Fowler Monday night, the posslbll-
lty of a packing plant for beef and
pork w- seen as a means for better
j i.,ces and creating a now lncomo
for the entire population of Rogue
liver valley.
Dates Gives Views.
W. A. Gates, local mercnant,
pressed his views on the project, and
considering the fact that local farm'
rs have shlppepd through the pres.
nt agency 19,000 head of hogs to
Portland markets at top prices and
at an added Income of S10t..000. the
merchant saw no need of importing
bacon and other products with extra
freight charges, when a local packing
house could produce cured meats at
leas cost, besides creating employ,
ment. Rogue river valley Is prlmar-
Uy a farming community, with the
morchant dependent on the prosper-
Jty of U:e farmer and the wage earn
er, Mr. Gates said, and mentioned the
present system of. competition as
-vicious cycle which snows no improve
ment. He also said that two years
ago a number of merchants under
took to establish prices on berries
and fruits, naming the minimum
they would pay, and the maximum
thoy would charge, with resulting in
crease In Chrlstmns and winter trado,
Shipping Plan Succeeds.
For aoveral years Jacksor. county
farmers have shipped hogs through a
marketing agency managed by Cbas
Hoover, A. B. Brockway, and Arnold
Bohnert at a cost to the farmers of
twenty-flva cents a hog . receiving
Portland prices. It was stated at the
meeting that local buyers pay
much as three cents less.
Onions were named as a profitable
new industry which it would bs pos
sible to launch In Jackson countv.
Onions grown here are sweet and of
a superior quality and good for
shipping, it waa stressed. Growing
of sugar neet seed also was named as
a future Industry
Cooperation Seen.
A splendid spirit of cooperation was
prevalent at Monday's meeting- at
which ton granges wore represented.
The organisation, of which Henry
Conger Is chairman with R. G. Fowler
secretary, has been functioning for
the last ten years, with Mr. Conger Its
first chairman. Next meeting will be
held In the court house auditorium.
Sept. 12. at which time the directors
of the Jackson County chamber of
commerce will meet with the mer
chants and farmers, and all will pre
vent their economlo difficulties
Meetings are held the second Mon
day In each month Not only grang
