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

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.

GOP Headquarters
Opened Yesterday
In Jacksonville
Jacksonville The youth of
the United States must realize
they have a country to 6ave, ac
cording to Ralph Moody, noted
Salem constitutional lawyer.
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.
Moody paid tribute to Jack
sonville as one of the outstand
ing and most historic cities of
Oregon. He recalled his ac
quaintance with many of the
city's outstanding early day res
idents, includnig C. C. Beckman,
banker and Republican candi
date for governor of Oregon in
1878, William Colvig, district
attorney and later judge, and H.
K. 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.
Others on the program who
spoke briefly were Albert Hack
ert, mayor of Jacksonville; Mrs.
Curtis Hopkins, Jackson county
GOP chairman and candidate
for delegate to the national con
vention from the fourth con
gressional district; Bob Elliott,
Republican state chairman and
candidate for delegate to the na
tional convention from the state
at large; Walter Nunlcy, candi
date for district attorney, and
George Carter, candidate for re
election as county clerk and re
corder. Attorney Emcee
Edward Hanley, Medford at
torney and member of a pioneer
Jacksonville family, acted as
master of ceremonies.
' The ceremony was held in the
historic Jacksonville city hall,
which was constructed in 1858
as the Maury and Davis General
store.
Hanley told the audience that
the party headquarters, at 111
California street, will serve the
entire Jacksonville and Apple
gate areas as a Republican cen
tral station. The headquarters
will remain open until the No
vember 4 general election, he
stated.

Mass Meeting Set
To Explain Plan
For Weather Law
A mass meeting to explain the
campaign of the Moisture Con
servation League Inc., to outlaw

ing in Jackson county has been
scheduled for the Eagle Point
Grange hall at 8 p.m. today, ac
cording to league members.

The measure is entitled "an
act prohibiting weather control

state of Oregon to use any me
chanical device or chemical sub
stance within the county for
weather control or cloud modi
fication, or production or pre
vention of snow, rain, hail or
moisture precipitation.
The proposed measure would
make violators guilty of a mis
demeanor and would subject
them to one year in the Jackson
county Jail, or a $500 fine, or
both.

Outstanding Azaleas
Described by Agent
If flower lovers want to see a
beautiful bed of azaleas, they
should look at those in the yard
of W. A. Gates, 31 Crater Lake
avenue, according to C. B. Cor-
dy, county horticultural agent.
While only a small planting, the
azaleas are now a flaming mass
of color and an unusually beau
tiful Bight, Cordy said yesterday.
Gates planted the azaleas
about 18 years ago, and has giv
en them unusual care, keeping
the bed soaking wet in the sum
mer and combining peat moss
with the soil about once in three
years. The red azaleas in the
foreground, Gates said, are
"flaming azaleas" and two addi
tional colors were planted at the

Agent Cordy pointed oui inai
since azaleas require soil with
little lime and a moist, humid
climate for best results, garden

with them here. "People like

cess to keep the others trying,"
Cordy concluded.
