Talks on Bills
By MARY KELL
Howard Fujii, state agricul-
ture commodity director, re
ported on a number of bills
effecting farm problems now
before congress, in a talk be
fore the Jackson County Farm
bureau recently.
He slated that the farm
stabilization act is the most
far-reaching farm labor bill
yet introduced. In summary.
this bill, he said, would es-
tablish a domestic farm labor
program patterned after the
Mexican farm labor program
The Secretary of Labor
would be authorized to re
cruit domestic workers, pro
vide them and their families
transportation, food, housing,
subsistance and medical care
until they went to work for
employers, and guarantee
workers payment for earn
ings lost by breach of contract
by employer.
This bill would be an
agreement, he said, between
the government, farmer and
worker with the agreement
entirely in favor of the work
er. Fujii stated that this bill
would open the door to labor
unions, providing almost a
closed shop with the Secre
tary of Agriculture as the
head.
Minor Workers
Fujii also reported on Bill
1123 concerning the employ
ment of minors. This bill pro
hibits children under age 12
from employment and limits
condition for those from ages
12 to 14. He stated that chil
dren need the opportunity to
work and earn money as well
as to learn the responsibility
involved in a job. Farmers
generally do not solicit work
ers under 12, but the opportu
nity to- work should not be
denied as It would be by this
bill.
Fujii stressed the fact that
the Farm bureau is interest
ed In issues only and not in
partisan politics. He urged
that letters be sent to United
States representatives charg
ing that these bills would ad
versely effect farmers and be
detrimental to the economic
and social welfare of Oregon.

Mail Tribunt Farm Editor
Although the Common Market in fcurope has suddenly
blossomed forth in the news recently, Its development was
a gradual evolution starting In the post-war years.
It's an important development since new economic group
ings are being considered, also, outside of Europe - for Cen
tral and South America, in Southeast Asia, in the Middle
East, and in the independent states of Africa.
In relation to the United States, Isaiah Frank, author of
the new book, "The Common Market" sums up the situation
pithily: "The fact that trade discrimination against outsiders
is at the core of the moves toward economic regionalism,
raises the whole question of relationship and compatability
of these new developments with the basic multilateral prin
cipals of commercial policy that the United States has been
espousing at least since World War II."
The European Common Market consists of France, West
Germany, Italy, Belgium, Luxemburg and the Netherlands,
and perhaps in the future, England.
After World War II Europe faced a period of economic
disintegration. The first step taken under the paternal guid
ance of Uncle Sam was to draw up new world-wide agree
ments directed to gradual restoration of multilateral system
of trade and payments. These were aimed at reduction of
trade barriers and elimination of currency exchange restrictions.
Instruments used to carry this theory into practice were
the articles of agreement of the International Monetary Fund
(IMF) and General Agreements on Tariffs and Trade (GATT).
However, the European countries felt like an under
nourished, flabby boxer entering the prize-wing of interna
tional trade against the heavily-muscled well-fed larger na
tions. The world-wide multilateral (many-sided) approach
represented by GATT and the IMF did not offer sufficient
trade stimulation and protection of faltering European eco
nomics, It was felt. Something was needed to build the eco
nomic strength of Europe and to unify it politically.
The European officials in the striped pants faced several
major problems which they felt could be solved only through
unification. One, need to revive European economies near col
lapse. Two, need to cope with the acute dollar shortage.
Three, necessity to deal with rapidly encroaching Soviet
power. Four, need to establish their economic independence
in a world dominated by the two great power of the USSR
and the U.S. and also face the growing challenge of Asian
and African nationalism. Also, Germany must be bound
more firmly to the west to prevent recurrence of France vs.
Germany rivalry which led to two World Wars.
This meant a tight regional development something along
the lines of the "United States of Europe" proposed by Clar
ence K. Streit.
The European statesmen felt the regional approach should
have two definite phases. Phase I would be the elimination
of governmental and other artificial barriers to free move
ment of goods, services and would consider factors of pro
duction in the region. Phase II would result in the unification
or coordination of Internal governmental actions which con
trol or are involved in private
GATT provided the basic
started the work on world-wide
larly in the early years. It allowed governments to make con
cessions over a broader field. It provided that all parties
coming under the agreement could receive benefits from free
trade negotiations between two countries.
Reductions of tariffs started at Geneva in 1947 and fol
lowed at Annecy in 1949 and Torquay in 1950-51. France,
Belgium, Luxembourg and the Netherlands were charter
members of GATT and were in on the early rounds of tariff
negotiations, ftaly joined at Annecy and Germany came in
in connection with the negotiations at Torquay. All of these
later became members of the Common Market. Main results
came with the joining of Germany. And the U. S. provided
leadership. It was also pushing a European recovery pro
gram under the Marshall plan at that time.
Then difficulties arose. The customs union Idea develop
ed in western Europe to handle these problems. The program
for greater freedom of- trade came under the Organization
for European Economic Cooperation (OEEC). It was estab
lished in 1948 mainly to distribute Marshall plan aid.
Later it promoted itself into a permanent body to de
velop the recovery and growth of western Europe through
cooperative means. It started a study of possible customs
unions which were to become a nucleus for the Common
Market. It also studied such arrangements as free trade areas
and possible reduction of tariffs and other barriers to ex
panded trade.
Although the U. S. had taken the leadership in develop
ing OEEC, its main aim, at least at first, was to ease trade
restrictions on a European basis rather than on a world-wide
basis. In November, 1949 OEEC countries tried first formal
commitments to remove quantitative restrictions up to a
minimum percentage and at specified dfatcs. This set the early
pattern for the Common Market.
Future problems in the
the fruit shippers In the U.
stage. Benelux and the Scandinavian countries were tradi
tionally low 4arri( countries. Others had higher tariffs, par
ticularly France and Italy. As the low tariff countries met
each stage of tariff reduction they began to feel they were
dropping tariff protection around their home industries, yet
their European partners were eliminating quotas but leaving
high tariffs as is. France was one of the latter, but it had
problems of post-war inflation.
The U. S. took a strong
new French and Italian tariffs, a stand which it would not
take for the benefit of U. S. fruit shippers later when the
Common Market became a reality.
GATT also failed to resolve differences In European
tariffs. The Benelux countries made the first proposal. They
asked for a unilateral reduction of duties by the high tariff
countries.
Then, in 1951, the French
countries reduce their tariffs by 30 per cent on a weighted
average level in each of various sectors of the import trade.
This average level of. tariff protection was measured by a
ratio of total duty actually collected to the value of the im
ported goods. Following reductions would be made on the
idea that Import trade would be essentially the same as the
base year.
However, the low tariff countries were required to reduce
their tariffs far less than 30 per cent. A loophole allowed
government to choose the commodities in each sector on
which to make reductions and to determine how much
reduction would be made on each. This applied to industrial
raw materials, seml-flnished goods, manufactured articles
and agricultural product. There were some other protective
provisions, also.
From then on formation of the Common Market officially
was encouraged by the U. S. These various plans were cred
ited with influencing establishment of the European Coal
and Steel Community in 1952. This has been called the direct
forerunner to the Common Market.
On May V, 1950 French Foreign Minister Robert Schuman
proposed the coal and steel production of France and Ger
many should be pooled in a community open to other Eu
ropean countries. In April, 19JI the treaty for this commu

Home gardeners who have

the gooseberry maggot. These
maggots hatch from eggs
which are deposited beneath
the skin of the fruit by flies.
These Insects overwinter in

during April. Once eggs are
laid no controls are effective.
Therefore, control measures
are directed against the adult
flies to kill them before they

License Needed
By Dairymen
Selling Raw Milk
Salem The state depart
ment of agriculture reminds
dairymen who sell raw milk
in jugs or bottles to contact
the Department for inspection
and licensing.
All dairies with more than
one dairy cow, which are deal
ing with gallon jug or bottle
trade in raw milk, must be
licensed to operate legally.
Only licensed dairies come
under the state sanitation in
spection and laboratory check
of milk and cream for whole-
somencss and butterfat con
tent.
Every spring, when the
cows are turned out to graze
on new grass, there is a great
er surplus of fluid milk. Dairy
men who bottle and sell this
as raw milk operate as "jug
dairies". From 50 dairies sev
en years ago, the jug busi
ness has climbed until at the
present time there are 102
under state license. Sales of
these gallon jugs are made
on the dairy premises. They
can qualify for grade A or B
license. Unlicensed dairies can
be shut down by state au-
toritics and are subject to pos
sible prosecution.
Kenneth Carl, chief of the
dairy and consumer service
division, SDA, warns, "per
sons who obtain their milk
supply from a one-cow dairy
should realize they do so at
their own risk with relation
to sanitation and cow health
because of lack of controls."
He explains that dairies
with only one cow or three
dairy goats are not subject to
licensing. As a result they do
not have sanitary inspection
nor are the animals required
to have the brucellosis and
tuberculosis tests as often as
licensed raw milk dairies.
ideal of gradually negotiated
This coal and steel community or the Schuman plan was
never thought to be an end in Itself by those who created it
and pushed it. The Benelux countries shifted their interest to
a broader approach of a customs union or common market.
Other countries wanted a coordination of integration of mon
etary policies.
The Spaak report completed in the spring of 1956 became
the basis for negotiating the Common Market and Euratom
treaties. The Suez crisis showed how vulnerable Western
Europe could be. Treaties were signed in Rome, March, 1957
and were ratified early In 1958 thus creating the beginning
of the Common Market.
These developments were watched closely by Ray Reter,
of Reter Fruit company, who is recognized as an expert, at
least in this area, on trade and trade developments.
Ray has a basic background in accounting. He received
his original accounting education from a C. P. A. correspond
ence course. This, he studied while going to school in Jack
sonville. His early day experience in the fruit packing and shipping
business was under the original cooperative "The Rogue
River Fruit and Produce Association" starting in 1915. Al
fred Carpenter was a director and later manager. In 1917,
Ralph Bardwell. former cashier of the Rogue River Fruit
and Produce association, and Reter became the Bardwell
Fruit company.
The original Bear Creek orchard had been a client pack
ing and shipping through the association. It became a client
of the. Bardwell Fruit company about the time Harry and
David's father died in Seattle leaving them as residual lega
tees of his estate.
On taking over the property, Harry and David asked
Reter, as an accountant, to insta

Now Is the Time To Plant
To Achieve a Good Lawn
By J. VERNON MARSHALL
ELEMENTS OF GOOD
LAWN Many of my read
ers are putting in lawns this
spring and have asked me to
run this story again.
This is a good time to start
your lawn. You have plenty
ot moisture to effect good ger.
mination this early in the
spring. I am sure if you will
follow these basic rules that
you shall obtain a lawn of
lasting beauty.
An open sweep of lawn, no
matter how large or how
small the grounds, is needed
to go with the home itself.
Plant the shrubs as thickly
as you want, along the out
skirts of a lot or at the front
or rear, but have an open
stretch of lawn somewhere, to
give character to your home
and plantings. A lawn doesn't
want to be dotted with trees
and shrubs, for real beauty,
it wants to be open. Get away
from the big center bed of
geraniums or cannas in the
main lawn, you can find other
places for them if you look
around enough, but don't cut
up a sweep of green turf.
The smaller the grounds,
the more the lawn means and
the less one can afford to sac
rifice it for other purposes.
A shrubbery border, or one
with flowers means nothing
unless a lawn leads up to it

ate and many other good
feeds, with modern methods
to put them on, there is no
reason, why your lawn should
not be of outstanding beauty
the year around.
Fundamental!
In order to obtain a good
lawn, you should start out
with well drained and deeply
worked over soil. These, to
my mind, are the most essen
tial reouirements. You can ul
timately establish a good
turf on the stiffest slay but
it takes time. This is true,
to quite an extent, of almost
any lawn on heavy or light
soil. In most cases where a
lawn has run out, it is usual
ly the owner's fault, it take
proper attention to keep a
lawn in good order. I don't
care how rough a piece of
land may be or how stiff the
clay from the basement or
celiar excavation of a new
residence.
A little work and handl
ing the soil at the right
time, when it is not too wet
nor dry, can obtain a fairly
smooth surface. It will also
lay the foundations for a good
lawn without going to a lot
of expense as in top dressing
the whole area with top soil,
manure and sand. I do not
mean to say that this would
be wrong. If the owner wish
es to go to this expense, well
and good.
However, you can get along
nicely otherwise and still
have success. The deeper
you can work the surface
over, the better for the roots
of the grass and the better
will the soil retain moisture
during the hot summer
months. In heavy soil, after
it has been plowed, follow up
with the disk, or pulverizer
and a pole-scraper or heavy
planks to do the leveling.
Use Fertilizer
Follow with a good fertilizer,
such as Liquinox for lawns.
Since t his is a liquid, it is
better to sow seeds first. If
you use dry fertilizers, work
well into the soil before you
sow the seed. Water as often
as nectary to keep seeds
from drying out. If seeds and
ground get dry, you may lose
the germination. Cover seeds
with peat, bark or sawdust,
to assure holding of moisture.
Apply a good crab grass kill
er, such as (Millers crafi grass
killer or Pax) through July
when the seedling's start to
grow. The cost is not too great
to install a sprinkling system
if you use plastic pipe and
fittings, which is reputed to
hold up just as good as gal
vanized pipe. Lawns love
lots of moisture, and with a
sprinkling system it is much
easier to supply plenty of
moisture and extra feed with
out fear of burning.

Program Changes
Noted for Wheat
BY EUGENE WINTERS
County Agent
New legislation enacted by
the Congress last year make
it necessary that all wheat
growers of Jackson County
acquaint themselves with the
necessary program changes.
The county official, Albert
Straus, chairman of the agri
cultural stabilization and con
servation county committee,
in a statement today, noted
some of these changes.
First-the 15-acre marketing
quota exemption does not ap
ply to a farm s wheat crop as
it has in past years. The quota
exemption is now figured on
the basis of 13. 5 acres, or tha
highest acreage on a farm for
the years 1959, '60 or '61,
whichever is the smaller.
Straus also said the amount
of wheat subject to penal,
ties will be twice the farm's
normal yield on all of tha
