PAGE TEN MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD. OREGON, MONDAY, JULY 1, 1940. E SOUGHT HERE FOR BEET SEED YIELD: Flourishing Cash Crop Cash Market and Good Profit for Grower Tour of Fields Shows Methods t- About 40 Jackson county! farmers made a farm tour Friday I afternoon to learn about south-! em Oregon's new cash crop pos sibility, sugar beet seeds. Crowing fields were viewed and talks were heard on the raising of sugar beet seeds. A scientific talk on the production of suaar beets for seeds was given by Prof F. C. Reimer who, t his southern Oregon experi ment station, demonstrated four years ago that soil and weather conditions in Jackson county were favorable to the production of sugar beet seeds. Now it has been proved, speakers cmpha sized, that the sugar beet seed nroduced her is highly satis factory, particularly In yield. High yield and high qualitv gen erally go together, Professor Rei mer said. Ready o Contract The tour was arranged by George T. Scott of Berkeley, Cal., manager of the West Coast Beet Seed committee, which Is In charge of the production of seeds for seven western beet sugar companies. Mr. Scott told the group his committee was ready to contract for whatever acreage was available on land suitable for sugar beet seed pro duction, "We do not encourage use on land not suitable for the produc tion of sugar beet seed," Mr. Scott said. He outlined the im portant things involved in the production of seed. Land offered for seed production is carefully inspected and other factors are checked to determine whether or not there is a favorable chance for the grower to produce good aeed at a profit, he indicated. If the land and other factors re found favorable, a contract is drawn up covering the acreage agreed upon and fixing the price beforehand. Current price 01 fered by the committee is 7V4 cents a pound. Roger Yost of Central Point Is field man here for the com. mtttee and his supervisory and advisory help is available to any grower who enters into contract with the committee, ivir. iosi said he would go to any farm in southern Oregon for consulta tion. He may be reached by telephoning Central Point 611 Farmers may also procure in. formation on sugar beet seed production at the county agent's office. 300 Acres Wanted Although this is the third year sugar beet seed has been grown here commercially, only about 65 acres are planted to this crop now. Mr. Scott indicated that the committee would like to have at least 300 acres planted this summer. The acreage has been increasing slowly each year. In the meantime, Willam ette valley farmers have turned to the production of sugar beet seed and considerable enthu siasm in the crop was reported from that section of the state. It was said that Jackson county was in the forefront in acre-yield. Otto Bohnert, whose two fields in sugar beet seed were inspected, said that last year his yield averaged 4300 pounds to the acre, understood to be one of the highest commercial yields ever attained in the United States. He said he ex- Here Is a sugar beei seed field nearlng the harvesting stage. It Is part of tha Otto Bohnert farm near Central Point. In the right foreground Is Roger Yost, sugar beet seed production con sultant here. production, provided tha fertili zation, cultivation and irrigation were proper. Mr. Bohnert had two fields In production, one field of 5. 7 acres composed of silty loam, the other of 7.S acres composed of granite soil. The field of heavier soil was planted last year, Au gust 15-17, and the crop will be harvested about the middle of July. Mr. Dunn had five acres under cultivation, Mr. Yost 7.6 acres. BARRETT PICKING TO START JULY 29 Assistant County Agent C. B. Cordy said today Bartlett pick ing will start In the earlier or chards July 29, and in the later orchards between that date and August 10. The crop Is slightly less than last year, and somewhat earlier, Cordy also stated. The Rogue River Traffic association has est I mated the Bartlett crop at 20,000 tons for this year. No word on the cannery price for Bartletts is expected much before the middle of the month, and probably later than that. Threshing is expected to be In full swing in many sections of the valley next week. It has already started In some of the earlier arras. FOR GUARD DRILL With Governor Sprague lead ing the way, the state, county and city governments, and pri vate industry are furnishing a hearty response to a request of the commanding general that they lend their cooperation to the Oregon national guard by granting employes who are members of the guard leave of absence to attend the army maneuvers In which the Oregon troops will participate in Au gust. Vacations are being arranged and in most instances the guardsmen are granted leave without loss of pay. Governor Sprague has directed that all state depart ments follow the course of granting guardsmen leave with out any financial loss, and has further Issued a public state ment calling upon all employers to thus cooperate in the national guard training program. Letters outlining the necessity for cooperation were sent to all peoea aoom yie same .v.u ... manding eneral. Oregon year but Professor Rcimci esti-, G(1I(rd BllllcUn. mated an even higher yield. At his experiment station the pro- lessor has attained a yield of j 6,000 pounds per acre, highest, in the United Slates. Mr. Bohnert figured he re-j quired a production of 2.000 pounds an acre to break even financially. Carrying out the same thought. Professor Rclnier stated that there were profits and seed quality only in high yields, and to attain high yields heavy fertilisation of the land was a necessity. No one unwill-j ing to go In for heavy fertiliza tion should attempt suitar beet seed production, he counselled. Methods Told The tour also visited the farms! of Harry Dunn and Hay Yost. At ' each the tour was told the mrth-i ods used by each grower in rais-; ing the crop, details being given! on planting, cultivation, fertili zation and irrigation. It was brought out that any good clean; land in the county appeared to be suitable for sugar beet seed! IN TENGWALD OFFICE Hearings on petitions for naturalization as United States citizens were being held here to day by T. S. Griffing of Portland, assistant divisional director of U. S. immigration and naturali zation service. The hearings will continue to morrow and Wednesday. They are being held in the private office of Victor A. Tengwald, deputy clerk of the U. S. district court, 205 Liberty building at West Main and Grape streets. Those who should come before Mr. Griffing for hearing have been so notified, Mr. Tengwald said. General questions on naturalization will be answered by Mr. Griffing- Wednesday afternoon, beginning at 2:30. Aliens desiring to become natu ralized citizens were invited to confer with Mr. Griffing Wed nesday afternoon. F TO ROCK ATTACKS ON AUTOSTAGES Striking Greyhound Drivers All Provide Alibis State Police Guard Busses IT fiuintit iNoiinui LOCATESLOSTPUP Patty, a 7-year-old fox terrier owned by Mrs. Charles Richard son of 638 South Holly street, had to find her own lost puppy when everyone else failed. The puppy, four months old and aptly named Scatterbrain, was missed yesterday morning when Mrs. Richardson found her Mail Tribune intact on the porch. If Scatterbrain had been home, the newspaper would have been torn up. A widespread search of the neighborhood failed to produce the puppy. In a last effort, Mrs. Richardson, at 6 this morning. let Patty loose, hoping she would find her pup by instinct. At 10 o'clock Patty came home with Scatterbrain. Both dogs were wet and covered with mud. In addition the puppy was about exhausted and after enjoying a saucer of warm milk fell imme diately into a deep sleep. No one knew where Patty found the puppy. TO OREGON'S TASTE! LEWIS SUPER STATION Tolice today were searching for three young men who late Saturday nicht stole a small portable radio from the Lewi? Super Service station, and drove away In their automobile. The men, according to city police, drove into the service station and akcd for a quart of oil. While the attendant was getting the oil they grab bed the radio and drove down Eighth street, turning north on j Bartlett street, police stated. WOllO'l f J L ITIAION1 """" Hlrrl toutsoa Weather.

Orders tf proof , lev 1.95 j No clues have been found to the miscreants who last Friday night cast rocks from a passing auto into two Pacific Greyhound stages, at Foots Creek and Sar dine Creek, near Gold Hill, on the Pacific highway. Sheriff Syd I. Brown said today. Seven persons were injured by flying glass. Greyhound 'stages travelling through this valley were trailed by officers in cars Saturday and Sunday as a safeguard against any repetition of the vandalism. Two Cars Used Sheriff Brown said It had been established two autos were used in the two attacks, and that one of the vehicles used was a Ford V-8. It is figured there were at least two men, and possibly more in each auto, one to drive, and the other to hurl the rocks into the wind shields of the stages. It was de veloped one car would not have been able to make the distance. In the time between the two assaults. All nine stage drivers on strike here have made state ments to the sheriff's office and district attorney, in which they established their whereabouts Friday night, Sheriff Brown said. The first attack occurred about 11:10 o'clock, and the second about midnight. Officials of the Greyhound lines were here Saturday and Sunday investigating the case. Law Cited The two crimes were classi fied by Sheriff Brown as "the most dastardly in the history of Jackson county". The sheriff stressed the Oregon law, which holds, any person possessing knowledge of a crime, and who withholds it from the authori ties, is an accessory to the crime, and liable to prosecution. The rocks struck the wind shields of both stages with ter rific impact, due to the speed of the vehicles involved. Fine glass was showered through the in terior of the stage. All those in jured suffered from glass in the eyes, none serious, it was re ported. All were on the north bound stage. The hurled rock hit low on the southbound car rier windshield. Fortunately neither driver was stunned by the rocks, but John Mass, north bound stage driver was struck on the arm and shoulder. Both stages were kept under control, or they would have plunged Into Rogue River, or off bridge spans.
