PEACH PRUNING
DUE THIS WEEK
A series of peach pruning
demonstrations have been sched
uled throughout the county for
the coming week, announces C.
B. Cordy, assistant county agent.
The peach acreage in the
county has been increasing
rather rapidly in recent years
and the meetings are for the
purpose of demonstrating mod
ern pruning methods. This
should assist growers in plan
ning their pruning program. It
may also be of value to some
growers who in the past have
hired their pruning done, but
due to labor shortage expect to
do their own work this year.
The demonstrations have been
scheduled as follows: Medford,
Tuesday, November 14, at
Brownie's place on the Old Cra
ter Lake highway at the city
limits; Ashland, Wednesday, at
R. E. Pierson's, one mile south
of the normal school on the new
highway; Phoenix, Thursday, at
T. V. Williams', one mile west
of Phoenix on the comer of Cal
houn road; Gold Hill, Friday, at
Paul Thorne orchard, 34-mlle
north of Rockpoint bridge on
the Pacific highway.
All meetings will start at 1:15
p. m. Trees of different ages will
be pruned at each of the dem
onstrations, so by attending any
one of them, growers can see
youijg and old trees pruned.
The body of the man discov
ered last Sunday in Rogue river
by J. L; Jenkins,- 228 Haven
street, has been identified - as
that of Pvt. Charles R. Hall, ac
cprding to County Coroner H.
W, Conger. Identification, the
