TABLE ROCK
Nurseryman Moves Stock
By R. E. NEALON
Table Rock - Gordon Ker
ihaw, the Medford nursery
man who has been growing
nursery stock on the Orville
Hamilton and Ray Baker
farms for the past several
years, is at present moving
his huge stock of young trees
and shrubs to new ground in
the Wagner creek and Ante
lope districts. It seems that
after so many years of grow
ing nursery stock on the
same land, the land needs to
b revitalized by growing
some other kind of crop for
a few years.
Benny Peek, herdsman and
showman of fancy stock at the
Reter Table Top Ranch, is
leaving next week with four
registered hereford bulls for
the big bull sale at Red Bluff,
Calif., where 500 of the best
bulls in the west will go
through the auction ring.
During the Christmas rush,
the flu epidemic and nasty
weather, we missed recording
much of the local news. One
item of special importance we
missed was the arrival of a
newcomer, Scott Robert, who
arrived Dec. 11, at the Nor
man Matteson home, where
he seems to be quite at home
with the other little Matte
sons. Our neglect was brought
to mind when we met the
young fellow at Sunday
school, so we humbly apolo
gize for the oversight.
Joe Perry, an employee of
the Modoc Orchard since 1945
recently suffered a slight
heart condition and is off
the job, recuperating at his
home in Sams Valley.
James Lewis, son of Mrs.
Manley Jacobsen, recently en
listed in the U. S. Navy, and
is now stationed at San Diego,
Calif.
"National prominence has
been gained by farmers of the
Beagle and Sams Valley dis
tricts as the result of a story
published a short time ago in
the Mail Tribune. The item,
submitted by R. E. Nealon,
regular correspondent, told of
the plan adopted by the farm
ers whereby hay hands were
paid for labor in hay. The
story was sent out over the
Associated Press wires, ap
peared on the front page of
the Portland Oregonian, and
in numerous newspapers of
the nation, and today has
made its way into the editor
ial columns of Collier's mag
azine, national weekly, pub
lished at Springfield, Ohio.
The magazine reads: Up in
Sams Valley and Beagle farm
ing districts of Oregon, they're
having a lot of experience
with this 'back to fundament
als' business the politicians
are talking so much about.
Field hands, whose normal
pay should be two dollars a
day, while haying are taking
their wages in hay at six dol
lars a ton. All they have to
do then is find out what to
do with the hay'."
Bessie says that working
for hay those days was about
as remunerative as writing for
the paper these days.
Among Sunday visitors at
th R. E. Nealon home were
Miss Nancy Hamilton and Bob
Walters, Medford. Nancy is
doing practice teaching and
Bob is the regional editor of
the M.T., whom we had never
met, but from his telephone
conversation we had pictured
him as a stern, old writer,
with a quill in his hand. We
found him quite different, a
modern chap, even to the
hair-do, young in years, with
a head full of ideas to make
the M.T. a better paper than
it already is.
We couldn't resist the temp
tation to mention mistakes
made in our last T.R. items,
which Bessie, our typist, says
happened after they left here.
In the line about the nation's
gold at Ft. Knox, the word
goods was used in place of
gold. In the paragraph where
the Table Top Ranch was
mentioned, the name Table
Rock was used. Table Top
Ranch is the name given to
Raymond Reter's large land
holdings here. Back in the
nineties there was a farm
here known as J. O. John
son's Table Rock Ranch.
It is the plan of Walters to
run page devoted to region
al news on Monday, Wednes
day and Friday of each week,
commencing Monday, Feb. 1.
So if everything goes accord
ing to plans, the Table Rock
items will be on the regional
page of Friday's paper. To
make connections, items
mailed from here would have
to go on Wednesday's mail.
Those who have announce
ments or news for publica
tion should keep this in mind.
Mr. Norman Matteson re
turned Saturday from a busi
ness trip to Portland.
Nominations for
Award Being Taken
Nominations for the annual
Distinguishehd Service award
are now being accepted by
the Medford Junior Chamber
of Commerce, according to
Chairman Richard Court-
right.
The award will be present
ed at the DSA banquet at the
Rogue Valley Country club
Feb. 25. Howard Belton, re
cently appointed state treas
urer, will speak.
Courtright said the award
is presented each year to the
man, age 21 through 35, who
has made the most outstand-
rn contnbtuion to the com
munity during the past year,
has exhibited leadership abili
ty and shown personal and
business progress.
Nominations must be in by
Feb. 12, Courtwright said,
and from these the winner
will be selected by a panel
of three senior citizens.
Nomination blanks have
been mailed to individual
service organizations, young
men's church groups and the
YMCA, Courtright said, but
anyone may . nominate . and
can get the blanks from the
Jaycees by writing box 251,
Medford.
The Jaycees have been
sponsoring the award for the
past seven years, Courtright
pointed out.
It appears that our story
about the sheep shearers
standing the sheep on their
heads during the shearing op
eration in President Cleve
land's time caused some
folks to think we had changed
our registration to Republi
can. This is not true, and to
make it balance, we'll tell an
other true sheep story that
happened in Hoover's time.
A sheep man shipped a car
load of fat lambs to Omaha,
and next day received a wire
telling him he owed a freight
bill, as the sheep didn't bring
enough to pay the freight. He
wired back collect-have no
money, but will send more
sheep.
Another story that might
reflect politically is the fol
lowing clipping, which un
fortunately is not dated, and
so far we have been unable
to figure out who was Presi
dent at the time.

Library Purchases Viewers, Reels
Nine Viewmasters and 589
assorted reels have been pur
chased by the Public Library
of Medford and Jackson Coun
ty for the use of the main li
brary and its seven branch
es. Head Librarian Omar Bacon
said the viewers and reels
were purchased because he
has found them to be of great
benefit to otner libraries
throughout the country and
feels they will be a good ad
dition to the libraries in this
county.
Each branch will have one
Viewmaster and approximate
ly 60 reels and the main li
brary will have two viewers
and 60 reels. Bacon said the
reels are different and will be
rotated among the libraries so
patrons of each will have a
chance to see them all.
The reels, which can be
found in the children's section
of each library, deal with dif
ferent topics, he said, includ
ing the states of the U.S., for
eign countries, a Vanguard
rocket launching, and various
animals.
They cost the library about
S230 and were purchased from
a local bookstore. Bacon
pointed out that Viewmaster
is a northwest product, made
by Sawyer's Inc., Portland. '
The viewers are another
step in Bacon's program of
introducing new ideas and en
larging the scope of the local
libraries which came under
his head last December.
