Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORT), OREGON, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1943 PAGE FIVE Jackson County Farm- Notes Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extension Service Uon In the Balkan. Trading ran well below yesterday's pace. j Today's closing prices on se- ! lected stocks: American Tel. & Tel. Anaconda Some Superphosphate Still ATaUable Nine cars of 20 percent super phosphate have been received and delivered to Jackson county farmers. Six more are on the road for January delivery. This phosphate is not all spoken for and any farmer signed up under the AAA program who has not placed an order should do so at once. This is probably the last lot of phosphate that will be re- ceived. ' Milk Subsidy Payments Lack Applications. Up to December 4, about one half of the dairymen in Jack son county have received Octo ber milk subsidy payments. As payments for October deliver ies of milk and butterfat were supposed to be stopped Decem ber 1. it would appear that Jack son county dairymen are not . very keen about receiving this extra money or have neglected .' to file their claims. November and December pay ments will be made in January, the two months will be com bined. As these payments amount to 9c per pound on butterfat de livered to processing plants and 45c per 100 pounds of whole milk delivered, it looks as though dairymen would do their utmost to collect these payments to offset the higher cost of feed and labor. The man who said that a cow GIVES milk, was not acquaint ed with the truth. By R. G. FOWLER, x County Agent. Pear Psylla Survey v Shows None Here. 9 Results of the pear psylla sur ' vey made here this fall shows no psylla exist in the county. A similar survey in Hood River ihowed that county also to be free of the pest. ' In conducting this survey a crew of men from the U.S.D.A. placed Z455 traps in 187 or chards scattered over the county These traps were small yellow covered boards covered with a sticky material. All insects fly ing against these boards were stuck there. After about t weeks the boards were collected and examined for psylla. As no psylla were found in this rather thorough survey, we can be rea sonably sure It does not exist here. ' By C. H. CORDY. Assistant County Agent. 4-H Club Activity Growing in County. 4-H club work In Jackson county is on the increase. Fourteen new clubs have been organized this year, most of them in communities that had no club work at all last year. All of the old clubs are Increas ing in size and many of them have doubled their enrollment. The trend of the rural boys and girls seems to be toward club work. This is as it should be, for 4-H club work offers instruction along the lines of improved farming and homemaking and teaches the boy or girl by actual experience. What Is learned by doing is never forgotten. Anyone interested in starting a 4-H club or joining one, can get complete information by calling at the county agent s of fice in the courthouse.

If so, you may have .heard the VOX POP program last Monday evening, the weekly broadcast, when Parks Johnson and Warren Hull interviewed various members of the entertainment world who had re turned from overseas USO service, and were then awaiting new assignments. I wish everyone who has not already contributed to the Medford Community and War Chest might ' have listened in, because to have heard the stories broadcast by those men and women from many of the disease infested, unfriendly, lonesome spots of the earth would make you want to give gener ously to a cause so worthwhile and just. The USO, like the other agencies included in the Chest, is helping sustain life, is encouraging discouraged, wounded and sick people, is giving renewed hope to those weary after years of suffering, and is pro viding the incentive to carry on the fight. While the tide of battle is now so much against our enemies we cannot afford to fail at any point to make possible the final knockout punch. We will fail, however, unless we beyond any doubt provide the things which are known to be so essential. Those things include much that will come from the contri butions which you and I, safe and comfortable at ome, must make. About two months ago we launched our drive to raise some $43,000 to provide necessary funds for our six local agencies, as well as to meet the aria's quota of the National War Chest. We are now on the home stretch, with our goal definitely in sight. We need about $5,000 more to do the job. Success is going to depend very largely on you who are read ing this, some of whom have given nothing, and most of whom have not done their part. Next Wednesday is December 15th. Help us raise the balance of the money by that time. Do so by giving what you can tomorrow. Checks and donations can be made to either of the banks, to the Chamber of Commerce, or the office of The California Oregon Power Company. Please do YOUR part NOW! A. S. CUMMINS . Remember!
