MEDFORD, OREGON, "WEDNESDAY, MARCH 7, 1923 XO. 295 M MA M . i'S 'A Tho executive committee ot the :.i Jackson County Farm nuroau is made iup as follows: Albert C. Joy of Ash- land, president; Justin Judy, Medford, r'vlce president; F. E. liptou, Central Point: J. II. McCracken, Ashland, and Mr. Clark of Central Point. , Early In the year tho committee dls ' cussed very thoroughly tho policy , that they felt should be carried out ' for the year nnd in years to come. j I It was airreed that the first step ; necessary to successful work was. a strong, active membership, and it was agreed that a campaign along conser vative lines, be started to build up a working Farm Bureau with a mem bership sufficiently largo to bo well representative of the agricultural in terests of tho county. This Farm liureau Week Is the outgrowth of those plans, The committee wishes to thank the Mail Tribune for the very generons pfrer they have made, to make it pos sible to get their paper to Farm liureau members throughout the coun ty, during Farm Bureau Week, j The committee was a unit on the point that in the expenditure of money lor any purpose before any move were made, it must be clearly shown that such outlay of money would bring back to the members of the bureau one dollar's worth of benefit for every dollar expended. .Alter a thorough discussion of the matter it was decided that along with the activities that were already under way, that it should be the olicy of the bureau to take up some line of con structive work to extend over a period of years. Committees were appointed to con fer with the business men of the county to decide what particular agri cultural lines most needed attention aritl offered the most promising fields for united effort. "After reviewing tho results of meet ings with the" business men of both Ashland Medt'ord it was agreed that the bureau could very profitably spend considerable time in helping the dairy Interests of the county. Three meetings have already been held for the purpose of going over the dairy situation. From the interest that I has been manifested it is evident that through the hearty cooperation of the whole county, the day is not far dis tant when dairying will become a thriving Industry in thS Rogue River valley. If tho Farm llureau can ac complish nothing more than to be the means of starting this important branch of agriculture toward its pro per development among our farmers, the executive committee will feol that the year of 1923 was a very profitable one in Farm Bureau history. Steps have already been taken to assist the poultry Industry and the committee plans to use all of Its influ ence to take care of the egg men. This valley is peculiarly adapted to poultry raising. The exocutive com mittee feels that Jackson county should become the Petaluma of Ore- gon. Tho pocket gopher should follow the dlggor squirrel over the poison route to "practical oxtermfnation from our alfalfa -lelds. The bureau is after the pocket gopher. . While the Farm Bureau Is looking after these specially selected lines, it will be always on the alert to help the farmer, his wife or his children in any Way possible. The committee feels, too, that thriv ing towns are an asset to the farmer so the bureau will boost lor any move ment that Is looking toward the up building of Jackson county as a whole.

Like the digger squirrel we have endured him because we have not known how easily and cheaply wo could get rid of him. With the help of the IT. S. Biological Survey we have learned that there is no reason why this whole valley should not clean up on the pocket gopher and in so doing add many dol lars to the county's bank deposits. We are told that for as Utile as 10 to 12 cents per acre large areas have been gone over and the pocket gopher practically exterminated. Mr. Fanner, can you afford to board these pests, feeding them on -nl fulfil roots, whole families of thorn, year after year, until they have thinned out your stand and cut down your yield compelling you to plow up and reseed your field; when, for ten cents per acre you could cut out this board bill altogether? The farmers of Valley View have, of course, realized for a long time that the pocket gopher is a nuisance and a source of considerable financial loss, but the fact that their farms are to bo watered this year (by the Talent Irri gation system) has made it seem doubly desirable to them to rid them selves of this rodent. Mr. Gabrielson of tho U. S. Biolog ical Survey in a talk at the Medford library during Farmers' Week told ot community gopher drives conducted on a large scale and directed by an expert sent out by the government. The Valley View Farm Bureau Unit promptly acted upon this suggestion nnd laid plans for such a drive. About the middle of February a poisoning demonstration was given and on the 1st and 2nd Inst, a drive was put on under the direction of Mr. Swain of the biological survey. The work was done by 15 men who were divided into two squads as the smaller groups get more work done and only about half as many prods are needed. About half the territory to be covered was assigned to each group and the work was completed at a cost o. approximately 2 cents per aero, for poison and bait. The chief , value of this Initial campaign lies in the unity of action secured and' in the practical experience gained which will enable the farmers to do the neces sary follQW-up work as the season pro gresses. For several years past similar con certed warfare has been waged against the digger squirrel and he has been almost exterminated over quite a large territory. Join Farm Bureau Work of Ashland Calf Club The Ashland Calf club was organlz edln April 1922 with five members. The work started soon, the boys tak ing small calves, 2 Herefords, 2 Jer seys and 1 milking Shorthorn. The calves were taken care of for four months before exhibiting them at the county fair. In the meantime tho club members were studying the Interesting subject, stock judging, under Mr. Allen, state livestock club leader, and Mr. Moss, countv club leader. Tho faithful work of the leaders was shown by the good work ot the boys in their contests. A good showing was made ut the Jackson County Fair. All five calves wero exhibited in botli the club and open classes. In the club classes three firsts were won and two seconds. In the open classes competing with their dads the boys won a junior champion ship, two firsts and two seconds. The club calves were on an average better than those of their dads. One of the seconds was taken in a class of four. Both firsts were taken over another calf, and the junior chumpionshjp was taken out of a class of three each of which had already won from one other animal. A total of $G7 were won by the boys' calves. Besides tho $07 won by the boys, three of them by winning in the judg ing contest over the Talent Pig club won a free trip to the Pacific Interna tional Imposition. The boys did very well there tho team of three being placed Dth out of 23. One of the boys was placed third highest individual out of about sev enty boys and girls competing, a very credltablo showing for Jackson coun ty. Tho trip to Portland Is a very worth while trip and will be long re membered by the boys who took It and will take It In future years. It Is pos sible for any boy or girl In Jackson county to win this trip or the equally Interesting one to the stale fair. I feel as one member of the club that the work is worth whllo nnd that If it Is at all possible every boy and girl who can take up the work should do ,0 A CLUB MEMBER.

Bloom of Ohio recently in response to a resolu tion for tho Ohio state senate com mending him "for his courageous stands" in urging Amorlcan participa tion. "Tho recommendation that the Unit ed States adhere to the protocol under which this court has been created, was not put forward without tho most w"s.ju''s! thorough and maturo doliberatlon," tho president wrote "Those who at this time are entrusted with the direc tion of tho International relations of our country aro firmly convinced that this move not only would represent the wlso policy for our own people but would be an emphatic testimony of our purpose to encourage every feas ible project for establishing tho rule of law, as, opposed to the rule of pow er In this world. The whole story of civilization has been the story of the effort to substitute the domination of Justice under law, for armed might. "I may say frankly that It Is incon ceivable to 1110 Hint the American people who have so long been devoted to this ideal should refuse their ad herence now to such a program as Is represented by this tribunal. "Nothing could bo further from the purposo of the administration than to suggest that our country surrondor any of Its control over Its own funda mental rights and destinies. But we may be sure that differences will al ways arise among states and peoples, precisely as they have always arisen between individuals; and just ni courts of Justice and equity have been set up to determino Issues as botwecn Individuals so It is proper and logical that provision should bo made for a like adjudication of those differences between nations nnd peoples which may properly be committed to such distribution." - Tills Is Farmers Week II MONTP.RAU -March 7.

The purposo of this commission is to investigate and report to congress the possibility of Increasing tho mar ket and use of silver in every way pos sible. The following heads aro sug gested under this Investigation: 1. Tho monetary reserve nnd cur rency status of gold and silver, and especially as affecting tho credit iosl Hon ot all countries and tho purchas ing power ot foreign countries In our market. 2. Influence ot the exchange value of Bllvor upon the agricultural Indus try nnd export trade ot tho United States. 3; Tho cost nnd availability of bank credit to tho producers of silver. 4. Tho condition of the sllvor mar ket, especially as affected by the ter mination of the silver purchased under tho Pittman Act. 5. Tho production, reduction, ro fining, transportation, marketing, sale and uses of sold and silver in the United States and elsewhere. 6. The effect of the decreased pro duction of gold and silver upon com merce, industry, exchange nnd prices. The commission is authorized to confer with citizens, associations or corporations ot foreign countries with a view to the stabilization and wider uso of sllvor In exchange. The investigation by this commis sion is an important stop towards tho stabilization of the price of silver, and much credit is due to Mr. II. N. Lawrie managing director of the American Gold and Silver Institute at Washing ton, D. C, for his assistance hi getting this resolution passed. It is hoped that nil gold and silver producers In Orogon will co-opornto with the Amer ican Gold nnd Sllvor Institute at Washington In thiB goud work. .

Persia DISPLAY WITH ' WEEKS & ORR t&' &S TO RESULT F There is no lino of work to which the Farm Bureau is lending its influ ence and support, that Is moro Impor tant nnd far reaching than the Boys' and Gills' Club Work. ... When a hoy rnlses a calf or a pig, a pen of chickens or an acre of corn and under tho guidance of oxport ad vice from the collego produces a calf, pig, chlckons, or corn better thnn dad's; when he takes them to the county fair and wins in the open classes ho begins to take an Interest in tho farm and farm work and In such a boy you have the making of a successful farmer. Tho same thing holds -with the farm girls with whom it may be canning, cooking, sewing, or they may take up tho same work as do the boys, it matters not what lino of club work they tako up, the result Is always the same, the boy or girl In future years will raise better calves, pigs, sheep or corn; will can nnd cook and sew bet ter than the fathers and mothers ot today because their minds are open, they taken on new, ways and different methods readily, while father and mother are hampered by the oid ways of doing which they find hard to change. The Farm Bureau Is glad indeed to push the club work for tt mians that our boys and girls will stay on the farm and make better farmers and new boosters for the bureau. OUCH! BACKACHE!
