Patsy of some 35 performers who will riculture Department officials. Their estimate is based on the fact that early crop potatoes from the Southwest will proba bly not start flowing into mar kets until June In sufficient quantity to relieve shortages and drive down prices. Early Crop May Help The early crop potatoes may help relieve some of the wide spread market dislocations which have resulted In potato shortages in certain areas. For instance, the late -harvested Maine potatoes were diverted for the first time this winter to scarcity spots on the West Coast, causing shortages in Eastern markets. The agriculture experts how ever forsee no permanent end. to the potato famine. They pointed out that farmers Intend to plant only about the some number of potatoes this year as In 1951. They cut back produc tion about 100,000.000 bushels last year, the first time in eight years there were no government price guarantees for their crops. The Agriculture Department had requested a 7 per cent boost in potato production but farmers balked, partially because of the lack of government price sup ports and also In resistance to government price ceilings. Despite rising potato prices and unofficial reports of "black markets" in somo areas, govern ment price officials claim ceil ings have not been pierced in any of the various pricing areas.

Moody, a former resident of the Rogue valley, spoke yesterday at the formal opening of the first Republican party head quarters to serve the Jackson ville and Applegate areas in al most 50 years. The people of the United States must think for them selves and their county this gen eral election, the speaker stated. "Our country is in very danger ous times because we have al lowed demagogues to lead us astray," Moody said. He added that the people are becoming in dolent because of government handouts. Not Matter of Expediency Moody urged election of a man "who will insist on a con stitutional government." H e warned that election of a Repub lican president is "not merely a matter of expediency" and abil ity to get votes.

Hanna, Judge and father of the present Jackson county cir cult judge. The Salem attorney also re called having met President Rutherford B. Hayes during the president's trip to Oregon. He stated that Hayes was the first president to visit Jacksonville and was the president who had the well-known dispute over a hotel bill with the owner of the U. S. hotel. Also on the program was Gus Newbury, Medford attorney and long-time resident of this area. Newbury told of arriving in Jacksonville by stagecoach in November, 1881.
