Steel Pear Market Yesterday Faced with the necessity of increasing their market milk production by approximately 120 per cent to provide an ade quate supply for the army can tonment and Increase in civilian population expected in this area, dairymen of the Rogue River valley met in the courthouse last night to make plans lor a concerted effort to boost the territory's current production to the point believed necessary. Frank H. Rowe, representa tive of the Oregon Milk Control Board, told the gathering that between 1,600 and 1,800 more cows must be diverted to pro ducing market milk if the esti mated 185,000 gallons-per-month goal is reached. Right now, he said, between 1,200 and 1,400 of the approximate 16.500 cows in Jackson and Josephine coun ties are producing market milk. Need 98,000 Gals. Mora "In December this district produced 87,000 gallons of mar ket milk," Rowe stated, "and in order to provide the neces sary increase of 98,000 gallons I figure 60 new producers will be needed." The present producers of mar ket milk can increase their production only about 15 per cent, Rowe said he learned in a survey. This figure was con firmed by H. H. Dietrich, spokes man for local producers. A few dairymen not now producing market milk attended the meeting and pledged to divert their cows to its produc tion, and Rowe issued a call to all others in Jackson and Josephine counties, who desire to cooperate, to get in touch with him at the Farmers' and Fruitgrowers' bank building room 210, as soon as possible A committee consisting of H. H. Dietrich, T. L. Goodwin and O. N. Wray of Ashland was appointed by Rowe to canvass the district for potential market milk producers, and to advise with them if they are interested. Distributors and present pro ducers will also attempt to make individual contacts with poten tial producers in Jackson and Josephine counties. -Costs Discussed Considerable discussion was held on the costs of installing dairy facilities to meet the re quirements and specifications expected to be laid down by the army, and Rowe said he had learned that the FSA would cooperate as much as possible with dairymen desiring to do this. He added that as yet he didn't know what regulations the army would set, but said he believed they would be prac tically the same as those now in effect here! Charles W. Austin, city milk inspector, explained fully the requirements for A-grade milk, and added that he believed the necessary production could and would be reached. G. H. Grover also was confi dent the valley could produce enough market milk to meet the increased demand, and said' "We are obligated to our coun try to produce that milk if and when it is definitely needed by our boys In uniform." The proposed defense pool wag explained by Rowe, in Fickle Draftee Wonders About Rating Change Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 22. (P) "Dear Mr. President," wrote a worried Davidson county registrant: "Confidentially, I am mar ried and in class 3-A. My wife is some 12 years older than me. What I want to know la, if I divorce her and marry Miss . . ., who is several years younger and loves me very much, will you still keep me in class 3-A?" President Roosevelt's office relayed the query to the reg istrant's local board for action.

At a meeting late yesterday afternoon, the committee ar ranged for surveys and propos als to govern anticipated situa tions. From these the committee proposes to make recommenda tions to the coordinating board and the city council, "We know from the state highway commission that certain streets in Medford will be one way streets and that on other streets during rush hours, per haps, no parking of any kind will be permitted in certain sections," a statement from the committee said. The meeting yesterday cov ered the subjects of available parking space and traffic regu lations on certain streets to han dle the increase in traffic which is expected soon. It was empha sized that the parking problem was of interest to every merch ant, farmer and city resident. One suggestion was that ar rangements be made wherever possible for private parking space. to conclude thorn today.
