chamber of commerce Wednesday
noon, and ended with a decision
to glr further atudy to th mat
ter aa a poaalble community pro
ject linked with tha welfare of
Klamath county' two largest In
dustries.
Jack Grafton, prominent potato
grower and ahlpper. after dis
cussing both advaatagee and dis
advantage of th proposal, ax
presaed that "a large percentage
of tba pot toe could be market
ed in boxes Initesd of sack and
a economically." Henry Semon,
potato grower, C. A. Henderson.
county agent, and William llar-
ron. local business mn, were .
other speaker at th discussion I
session, sponsored by tb cham
ber' agricultural committee
beaded by Percy Murray.
Tell Past Milpmenta
Grafton began by telling of hi
experience a few rears ago when
five or six car were shipped
from here In wooden boxe. The
putatoea were all fancy stuff,
liined to arrive at the market in
mid-November, and graded as to
site. They wer shipped to chain
tor organisation. w.-pped and
carefully packed, and housewives
purchased th wrapped potatoes
at a coat amounting nearly twice
as much as th ordinary potato.
Grafton enumerated objection
lo the boxed potato project. He
aid that on trouble with dis
posing of potatoea aa extra fancy
stuff Is the difficulty In finding
a perfect potato qualifying tor
thla purpoae. Tb disposition of
th box In tb imall kitchen la
another disadvantage, wbil a
sack growa entailer as the pota
toes are used and Is easily dis
posed of. Still another disad
vantage He In th danger of
light getting through a alatted
box and turning tha potatoea
green, aomething which could bo
prevented by paper wrapping or
by paper lining of tha box.
8eea Outlet
Grafton aald, bowever, that a
large organisation In the east has
successfully adopted box packing
for potatoea. These potatoea are
graded mechanically for siie,
packed In cardboard carton, and
aeveral hundred carloads ar sold
In the eat with a few carload
reaching Lo Angeles.
He said, further, that there
should b an outlet for boxed
potatoea In overaea shipments.
Tha nvy, h aald, boxe all pota
toea for consumption on ship
board.
Grafton aald he believed that
box shipment could he worked
out economically, and favors
packing tha better quality No. 1

Idea of organising a bunnr

they walked through a sage
brush flat to aee If there real

gon eld of the line. There
were, and uch rabbits! They
were found to be much larger
and more ferocious than their
California brethren, and sev
eral wera shot In self de
fense. One old buck found
himself surrounded, and lash
ing his tall In fury he charg
ed an Innocent, unarmed
game bearer. A murderous
crossfire stopped him In the
nick of time.
As the group progreased
across the flat, tha dead rab
bit were piled np at Interval
to be picked up later hy
trucks. Upon returning to
tho car about an hour later.
It was found that 18 more
rabhlts, after viewing the
marksmanship of the boys,
had given up and laid down
beside th dead ones.
Due to modesty, tha boys
would not toll how many were
killed, hut Just as a clue, Joe
