Chats With Your Home Agent Teen-Age Fears Due To I nadequacy Feelings Br ESTHER KJHMIS What are Tren-Agers scared "How tan anybody think teen iti'ft are afraid of anything? Many an adult may ak, looking with a somewhat Jaundiced eye dl the antics of the 19C1 version of his own flaming youth." For at firkt thought It may appear that today' ycang people are afraid of neither man, God or the devil. These are the word of Ernest Osborne In an article that ap peared In the National Parent Teacher magazine In January, l'JOO. It I part of the background material that Roberta Fralser, U.su family life specialist, ha it-quested project leaders to read bi lore she conduct the two-day workshop on "Understanding Teen agers" at line City School on October 24-25). Besides unit project leaders. invitations were sent to pastors, school administrators, school board members, PTA leaders, and 4 11 leaders to attend this workshop. Interested youth lead ers are asked to call the county agent's office (6-96-12) if they would like to attend. Such reasoning, reassuring as It may seem, is far too simple and too complicated, continues Mrs. Osborne. It reflects a care less habit of us grownups the habit of basing our Ideas about teen-agers on the way they act rather than on the way they feel underneath. What are they scared of? (1) Trying to live up to his parents, teachers, and other grown-ups expectations. Yet they take him to task for being too independent As long as you're living in this house," announces his father emphat ically, "You'll do what I say." , Or even as he attempts to do what is expected comes the shat tering, "If. you keep up like this you'll never amount to any thing." Despite all our sympa thetic talk about teen years, many of us tend to forget what a sensitive period this really is how much an ungentle criticism can hurt an adolescent. (2) They are afraid of not be ing accepted by their own group. The. phrase "Tyranny of the Group" applies to teen-agers as well as to adults, and many adolescents are in deadly fear lest they be branded "squares or "oddballs." (3) They are afraid of being inadequate. Over and over again, boys and girls tell us that we frequently let them down until some may even give up the struggle. Treat ed like irresponsible beings, like little children, they may start acting as grownups seem to ex pect them to act Others may be come antagonistic, striking back in one way or another at those who make them feel inadequate. (4) The feeling of growing up frightens teenagers. The thought that now they are responsible for all their actions. No longer can people say, "She is only a child and don't blame her." (5) Still another worry is that of learning "to"act: Tike a male or a female. What do you do in order to be a desirable friend to members of the opposite sex? How fare do you go in necking and petting? How do you square the values that you learned in home, church and school with those that seem to be accepted by your group? These are but a few of the disturbing questions. Each teen sooner later, will have to cope with the develop mental tasks they all face. But we parents and teachers can help by realizing that it is nor mal for adolescents to have some fears. To a considerable degTee our task is one of standing by and keeping the channels of com munication open so they are able to work out their anxieties ana fears in wavs that make life sound and satisfying.

Nematodes Pose Serious Threat lo State Crops Nematodes microscopic worms that can Injure nearly all agricultural crops In Oregon, are posing a serious tnreat throughout the state, Oregon State University's agricultural experiment station reports. Grass seed yields have been reduced as much as 75 percent in some badly-infested fields. Eastern Oregon sugar beet lands, once regarded as among the few ncmatode-free sugar beet areas In the United States, have been invaded in recent years. Some 3,000 acres of potato land In the Klamath Basin must now be fumigated each year to com bat nematodes. These are typical examples of widespread damage to Oregon fields, orchards, and nurseries. Dr. Harold J. Jensen, OSU nematologist says at least 19 of the 140 nematode species known to attack plants are now consid ered major pents of Oregon field and fruit crops, ornamentals, vegetables, forage, and specialty crops. Damage to Oregon crops, life cycle of nematodes, and methods of. combating the pests are out lined in a new OSU experiment station now available for pub lic distribution. Authored by Dr. Jensen and based on 10 years research, the bulletia is one of the few pub lished works in the United States that outlines specitic nematode problems for an entire state. Oregon residents may obtain free copies of the bulletin, "Nematodes Affecting Oregon Agriculture," Irom local county extension agents or Irom the OSU bulletin clerk, Corvallls.

Gaines, a semi-dwarf variety with high rust resistance, is a bearded common type head with white chaff and soft to semi hard white grain. It has good shatter resistance and thrashes well and resists kernel cracking when thrashed. Agreements were signed re cently between the Oregon State Experimental Station, Pendleton branch, and 15 growers In Mor row county. Contracts call for growers to distribute at least 60 percent of the Increase to neigh bors next fall at a price not to exceed $7 per hundred pounds. Delivered seed In the fall of 1962 must be cleaned, treated, bagged and certification tagged The new variety, named for Dr. E. P. Gaines, former plant breeder at Washington State uni versity, is the culmination of ex periments launched back in 1948 on the Pullman campus. First crosses were made between a Japanese dwarf variety and Brevor Farmers receiving seed for planting this fall include Ken neth Peck, James Peck, Tad Miller and William J.

To day. 58 percent of Oregon s bride are 19 years of age and vouncer, and a large snare or them are having a baby the first year of marriage. These and other marriage trends are pointed out by Mrs. Roberta Frasier. extension fam ily life specialist at Oregon State university. Today's typical mother rmars hir last child when she la 26 years of age and has her child ren within a period of four years. A generation or two ago the child bearing period was spread out over an average of 10 years and there were usually older children to help rare for the little ones. Today's families have few uch built-in baby sitters. Not only are girls marrying younger, having babies earlier and more closely spaced, but today's young woman can antlcl pate spending about 25 years of her married life working outside the home. Mrs. Frasier urges young wo men to get all the education and vocational training they can get before marriage because the need for unskilled workers is disappearing. The dream a girl may have of getting married so she won't have to work often turns out be a "plpedream," says Mrs. Frasier. Chances are, she's going work both at home and at another Job. Mrs. Frasier will be visiting Morrow county several times In the next nine months. On Oc tober 24 and 25 she will be con ducting project leader training for extension units at Pine City school. On the evening of Oc tober 24 she will be meeting with a steering committee made up of representatives of differ ent communities and organiza tions in the county to plan four-evening short course In Jan uary on "Understanding Boys and Girls."

The Bormans are veteran hunt ers and Lorna (Mrs. Borman) is known for the good jerky she makes. She dries it right over her wood stove in the kitchen. Here's her recipe to try: Remove fat from venison and slice meat into pieces about 1 inch thick and about 4-6 inches long. Any cut may be used, but tender cuts are best They are better if cut across the grain of the meat Place the strips layer on lay er in a large bread pan or crock, using about 1 oz. of smoke salt per pound.
