'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.

DRIVE ON GOPHER
TO BE BACKED BY
We have within our midst n pest
that, while not so saucy and bold as
the digger squirrel, is responsible for
a considerable amount of damage to
our alfalfa fields, orchards, gardens
and lawns, tho pocket gopher.
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.

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.

national Justice as "one of the great
est advances which the world ha3
made towards conditions in which at
last the rule of law may be substituted
for the rule of force," he wrote Lieu
tenant Governor Earl D. 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."

Word has just boon received at the
offico of tho Oregon Bureau of .Mines
and Geology from II. N. I.awrle, man
aging director of tho American Gold
and Silver Institute, Washington, 1).
C, that a iieniito resolution passed
congress on Saturday, Mar. 3, creating
a commission for gold and silver In
quiry. 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. .

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.
