A new method of processing and marketing non surplus crops grown in the Rogue River valley, that should be of far-reaching importance, was developed here this season by Wesley McDon ough, our Scotch friend and member of fhe Sams Valley Grange. It seems that Wes was in a qaundry as to what crops adapted to his soil that he could grow and market at a profit. With hay barns bulging with unsold hay, clover and alfalfa seed overdone, and quotas on wheat, he decided to explore the corn market. With the aid of Dell Chapman, who sells a high ly potent crop fertilizer, he learned that valley feed stores import each year some 100 cars of shelled corn, each car con taining 50 tons, for which they pay $58 a ton, the railroads get ting $23 to $24 a ton for hauling. He found he could sell shelled corn to local dealers if he could get the "moisture content down to requirements. Further inves tigation revealed that corn dry ing was not too complicated, and that he could equip a plant in the Camp White area that would do the work. Later a combine machine was purchased that picks and shells in one operation from which the shelled corn is trucked to the dryer, thence to market without being touched by hand. The E. W.
