Mail Tribune 100, Feb. 24, 1916 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 24, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Feb. 24, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News Feb. 24, 1916 PLAN CAMPAIGN OF PREPAREDNESS FOR SUGAR BEETS George Austin, head agriculturist of the Utah-Idaho Sugar company, met with field superintendents of the local company this forenoon at the Medford hotel. At the meeting a plan was outlined that will be followed out commencing at once. It was decided that Messrs. F. S. Bramwell and Edwin Austin will be in charge of the agricultural work between Gold Hill and Glendale and Messrs. Samuel Storey and J. B. Pettingill will have charge of the same work from Gold Hill south. These men will give their entire time and attention to the beet growers in their respective districts, instructing them in the selection and proper preparation of the land for the planting of beets. Messrs. Bramwell and Austin can be reached by mail or phone at Grants Pass and Mr. Storey and Mr. Pettingill at Medford. The beet growers are urged by the company to get in touch with these gentlemen at the earliest moment, as seed and seeders will be here within a week and seeding will commence on the early land as soon as the land is ready. Sufficient seed has been secured to plant 7000 acres so that farmers who have not yet signed contracts, but who are considering doing so should notify the company at once. Arrangements have been made with a reliable Japanese contractor to furnish all hand labor necessary. Any beet raisers who are depending on Japanese labor should notify the field superintendents or the company office at once. The company will need from thirty to forty good, practical farmers to do the planting. Applications for this work should be left at the office at once. Messrs. Austin and Bramwell will address a meeting at Central Point tonight at 7:30, to which all citizens are invited. EAGLE POINT EAGLETS Elvin Abbott of Butte Falls came out Sunday afternoon and spent the night at the Sunnyside. He was on his way to Medford.
