In announcing the price sched

does a good marketing job. and
avoids the drastic price cutting of
last season, a grower price of 20c
per pound should prevail.
"We are pleased”, Mr. Trunk
said, "to be able to reverse the
recent trend on filbert prices to
enable Oregon and Washington
filbert growers to come closer to
a parity with other crops. We sin-
cerely hope the industry as
group will hold firm so the high-

4-H Clubs Plan
Fall Achievement
Programs in Lane
Fall achievement programs for
146 4-H clubs in Lane county will
climax the "year end" in 4-H proj
ects for approximately 1,400 Lane
county boys and girls.
Jack Gurton, 4-H club agent,
said today that the programs will
be planned on a community basis
with many clubs combining to
make the “recognition” program
a part of a PTA, Grange, church,
or other community gathering
during October and November.

Displays of 4-H projects, skits and
demonstrations by 4-H youth de-
picting activities within their
clubs will be featured.
Re-ognitlon Given.
Gurton said that all 4-H mem-
bers who have completed their
projects and who have turned in
their 4-H record books to the 4-H
office in the Old Postoffice build
ing, Eugene, will be eligible to re
ceive 4-H club pins. Certificates
will also be presented in recog
nition of project attainments.
"The fall achievement programs
have a dual purpose,” Gurton
noted. "Youth will be recognized
for their 1955 work and a new
year in 4-H work will be intro
duced.”
Such recognition programs are
4-H clubs' link with adults, added
Gurton. They provide the oppor
tunity for adults to express en-
couragemen t and interest, both
essential to the youngsters. said
Gurton.
Develop Citizens.
"Adding to a collection of
lions is not the basis .of our 4-H
club program." he declared. "All
4-H club leaders agree that the
’ underlying purpose is to devek p
I youngsters into responsible citi
zens.”
Gurton said that to become a
14-H club member, youngs'ers
pledge their head to
I thinking, their heart to
loyalty, their hands to larger ser
vice, and their health to better
living for their club, community,
’and country. "That’s a big order.
and one that requires the boost
of adult interest,” he declared.
In Lane county 178 adults are
giving their time to help 1.400
youngsters live up to that pledge.
Fifteen of the leaders, according
to Gurton, have served in the
4-H program for 10 to 27 years.
Major club projects are clothing,
foods, food preservation, child
care, homemaking, health, live
stock, poultry, field crops, horti
culture,
forestry,
entomology,
crafts, wood working, and elec
tricity.
Mastitis Fought
With Strip Cup
A strip cup, properly used,
always been a good friend to the
farmer in keeping his cows free
ot mastitis. Regular use of a strip
warns of the onset ol mastitis
and enables the farmer to take
precautionary steps to cut the in
fection short.
For many years, strip cups had
a screen set down into the cup.
The difficulty in cleaning the
screen and the time thus
often dissuaded farmers from us
ing a cup every day.
Lately, new ideas in cup design
have been brought forth. The most
recent is the substitution of a
shallow black plate for the screen,
in the cup.
The plate has a hole in one edge
to allow milk to flow down into
the cup. As the milk passes over
the black background, any ab
normal milk lumps, flakes or
strings in the milk, or any blood.
is easily
gainst the black
background. One dip in a pail of
water and the plate is clear and
ready to be used on the next ani
mal.
Daily use of the strip cup will
prevent any chance of mastitis
becoming well entrenched in a
herd before being caught. It will
also prove excellent as an aid to
milk let down and will eliminate
low butterfat, high bacteria fore
milk.
