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.

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.
Accidents Top Death
Cause, Study Reveals
Accidents cause nearly 40
per cent of the deaths among
policyholders of - the Mutual
Life Insurance Company of
New York, according to a study
of causes of death recently com
pleted by the firm. Results of
the study were released here by
Lloyd Evans, Medford, the com
pany's assistant manager for
southern Oregon.
In nersons between the ages
of 40 and 59, accidents caused
only seven per cent of the
deaths, but heart disease ac
counted for 54 per cent and can
cer 20 per cent, the survey
shows. Over the age of 60, only
two per cent of the deaths were
attributed to accidents, while
heart disease accounted for 67
per cent and cancer 15 per cent
of the deaths.
