TO BE GREATEST POTATO SECTION Jack Grafton, Prominent Buyer, Predict Great Possibilities. Here QUALITY UNSURPASSED Seed Variety Would Bring Farmers Large Profits, Declares Expert "Klamath county and the sur rounding country within, the next few years will be one ot the chief potato producing sections in the west. With proper rnllrond facilities it will far surpass the Yakima valley, now con sidered the greaiest potnto section ill the northwest." This is the belief of Jack H. Grafton, Oregon and Washington po tnto dealer, who i.i leaving here to morrow morning for Bend and Red mond lo look after shipping and fur ther buying. Mr. Grafton has been In Klamath for the past two weeks buy ing and shipping potatoes previously bought here, the product largely go ing to San Pranclseo markets. Although this is Mr. Grafton's first year to operate in Klamath county, ho has purchased approximately 35 cars, representing 25 of the ex port crop produced in the county, lie will return in another month to com plete storing and shipping arrange ments. Is Biggest Spud Dealer Mr. Grafton Is the largest Individ ual potato dealer in the stale, having Ibis year purchased of the en tire late crop of Oregon potatoes. Ills specialty Is the seed potato market. In 1924, 00 of all standard and certified seed potatoes In Oregon were marketed through his organiz ation; of the 1(125 crop, !lf, . "Klamath county growers arc overlooking n wonderful bet In not producing high grade seed potntoes for the Yakima trade," declared the potnto dealer. "Minnesota annually sends 200 cars of seed potntoes to Yakima valley, Willi a freight rate of $18 per ton. Klamath county can produce belter seed potatoes and de liver them in Yakima for $18.80 per ton freight a saving of $4.10 per ton." Mr. Grafton is tills year sending n few cars of Klamath potatoes to Yiiklmn for seed purposes.

That man was the Rev. J. E. Snyder of North Bend. Preacher, chamber of com merce secretary and student of economic affairs, the North Bend man launched into a discussion of the rail situation, and just as -is his weekly wont from the pul pit, truth followed truth from his smihnv hps as he urged the people of Klam ath to work and fight for as many railroads as they could possibly get There were those among his hear ers who winced perceptibly as he . eie.t...! facta ant- flflflim. Snm there were who slumped down deep er Into their chairs; iwhose ears reddened and who lost Interest in the meeting. But there were many others and they were in the ma jority who leaped to their feet with salvos ot applause to this mild, spoken man from. Coos Bay 'who dared to take oft his gloves and tell what he and a vast majority of the people of Oregon honestly think ot the Central Oregon railroad situa tion. "California and Washington have forged ahead as perhaps no other two states in the Union have. And why? All because they have grasp ed every opportunity for more rail roads. We .want the Southern Pa cific to continue its developments which they have promised, us, and their cooperation has been speiidid. tut no one railroad should have tire 1 monopoly on oiir community.
