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-

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!

Patty, a 7-year-old fox terrier
owned by Mrs. Charles Richard

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

If Scatterbrain had been home,
the newspaper would have been

A widespread search of the

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.

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.
