SIXTEEW MTDFORD (OREGON) U.S. Food, Mechanization Impress Visiting Newsman; Tells German Shadv Cove It was more difficult for him to get used to American food than any other one thing, Gunther Barth, young German newspaperman now vis iting the valley, told Shady Cove Rotarians last night The food, which . is prepared In a different manner and with different seasoning, and the high degree of mechanization of Americans' daily lives, were the two lesser things which im pressed him most on arriving here, Barth said. Cites U.S. Six. In addition, he explained, it was sometimes difficult for him to grasp the size of America, and he added that -if one were to take a trip in Europe the same distance as from Portland to Medford, for example, one would have to pass borders, cus toms inspections, visa inspec tions and much other red tape. The state of Oregon is ap proximately the size of pre-war Germany, he pointed out, and said that traveling in Europe, most of which is done by rail, takes more preparation and time than here, where travellers simply climb into cars and go wfih no worries about borders Control of Pests Advised by Agent ' Spray for the control of brown rot, twig miner and aphis should be applied to peach and apricot trees in the late pink or ' popcorn" stages- of develop ment. County Horticultural Agent C. B. Cordy said today. Brown rot will attack fruits as soon as the blossom petals sep arate and expose the young de veloping pistil, he explained. In 1 the case of J. H. Hale peaches, this will be in the pink bud stage, but in the case of apricots it will be delayed until a few of the blossoms are actually open ed, he added. Measures Told Control . measures advised by. the agent were: On peaches use 6 pounds wet table sulfur or i pound of phygon per 100 gallons. For the control of twig miner and aphis add I pound of parathion or, if you prefer, add 13 pint of 20 per cent or 16 pint of 40 per cent TEPP and 2 pounds 50 per cent DDT. In the case of apricots which do not tolerate sulfur, use 'z pound of phygon or IV2 pounds Ferbam or Ziram per 100 gal lons for brown rot control. To this add 2 pounds of 50 per cent DDT for the control of twig borer. In the case of both peaches and apricots, this spray should be repeated in the full bloom. If good control Is obtained at this time, there will be less carry-over of brown rot to in fect the fruit, so on peaches one pre-harvest spray would be enough and on apricots, where sprays are more objectionable, it is likely that no sprays would be needed. -8 Toy House Bunny Says It's an Easter Sale!

Barth told club members about the State Department scholar ship which brought him from his home in Dusseldorf, Ger many, to the University of Ore gon for a year s study. He said he feels the scholarship will en able him to tell his friends in Germany the truth about Amer ica, but he said he wished it were possible for more Ameri cans to visit his country so the two peoples could become better acquainted. Other Contrasts Some of the other contrasts between German and American ways of life which the speaker pointed out were in education, the organizations which make, up so much of the everyday life of Americans, the living standards (he compared a "bicycle stand ard" of Germany with the "auto mobile standard"of America and the variation in journalistic practices. Shady Cove Rotarians ques tioned Barth for nearly an hour after he concluded his talk, and the discussion covered a wide variety of subjects, including the possible establishment of a German army in the North At lantic Treaty Organization; po litical attitudes in the eastern and western zones of Germany; Marshal plan and ECA assist ance, which Barth explained had enabled Germany to rebuild much of her industry, her cities and some of the war-destroyed residential areas, and the growth of democratic ideals .and prin ciples in Germany since the end of the war. Barth was Introduced by Eric Allen Jr., city editor of The Mail Tribune, which is co-sponsoring Barth's visit to the valley. Ro tary President Carroll Watson was master of ceremonies.
