The herd managers, Don Young Couple Get Champions Among Hcrcfo rd Beef Animals By JOE COWLEY Moil Trilmne Farm Editor CENTRAL POINT - Don and Dorcne Bradshaw, of Seven Oaks Hereford ranch, Central Point, are among the purebred Hereford breeders in the valley who have a substantial part of their income tied too the out come of the third annual Cal 0 r e Hereford Association's Range Ready bull sale Oct. 9 at the Jackson county fair grounds. They will have four top bulls and a heifer in the sale. Don farms 150 acres ol crop land, most of it in grass seed with six to eight acres in onions, with his father-in-law John Bohncrt. The beef breeding program however, is the special project of the young couple. The Seven Oaks ranch is one of the oldest Hereford breeding ranches in the valley, if not the oldest. Well Known Bull Don estimates that ovej half of the Hereford herds in the valley have animals descended from the J. B.

This year, so far, one heifer made champion at the Jose phine County fair at Grants Pass and another heifer was named reserve champion. A bull also made reserve cham pion. The reserve champion heifer also took third at Port land's Pacific International ex position last year. THc Bradshaws will have two bull calves, two heifers and a steer entered in P. I. this year and the steer in the carcass contest, also. The young couple breeds tor size and conforma tion and produce good blocky calves. Last week when we visited the ranch Don was busy work ing with a crew, mostly teen agers, in crating onions for storage. He estimated the ranch would have 7,000 sacks to ship to San Francisco and the bay area this winter. They will be stored this fall. The Seven Oaks onions have con sistently topped the San Fran cisco buy area market because of their size and careful hand ling they receive. cd Production Dial said probably he and his father-in-law will shift more to blue grass seed production. Pro ducing vegetables, even the top quality onions the Rogue Valley is famous for, requires too much hand labor. The ranch now ships much of it grass soed to a processor in Salem. Grass wed is one of the higher cash return per acre crops for this valley.

The French general had broadcast that France was backed by the mighty British empire. Yet France by then (tas firmly under Gernwm control and the British army had baraly escaped from Dunfciricv- The V. S. continued to recognize (be Vicby' government of Marshall PrUin.

Tht unknown French general becime the) symbol ifj (otfl point of French hop. General Charles d Cjulll climaxed his fr rVich ctjmpiii ji(b the drttic Hi! Higlijg'oTi NeJ-tk African shorft. o The general has continued to do th unaxpgetsd rfl tKg rm- nossihle. To manv Americans who road World War II news accounts the fierce national pride exhibited -by this champion? of an underdog natibt was a hire thing. It has dime as some what of a shock to his many admirers in this country that De (ftiulle should place the French rfttionaj interests, as he interprets them, above free world harmony. He has steadfastly refused to join the tightly coordinated nuclear defense pattitrn promoted by the North Ajlantic Treaty Organization. He has consistently used the European 0Conflnon Market as tool to make France a stronger independent power, o Even during World War II De Gaulle seemetl set on a policy of antagonizing the two great powers of England and America. Apparent purpose was to keep from being overwhelmed. De Gaulle apparently is following the same course today. He stub bornly refused England admission to the Common Market even after some p-cssu,Kn had been exerted by the U. S. Although clearly guilty of trade discrimination as determined at an earlier GATT (Generaj Agreement on Tariffs ana Trade), ministerial conference, France still steadfastly refuses to Teach any compro mising agreement with the U. S. Before World War II De Gaulle wrote something which was to be prophetic of his present day aims: "If this national re forging has to begin with the army, that is perfectly in con formity with the natural order of things. This is not only be cause force is more necessary than ever for nations that want to survive, but because the military body is the most complete expression' of a social system." There lies the reason for his insistence Oh an independent French atomic weapons develop ment outside of the NATO forces. It's interesting to reflect on what might have happened to France during these post-war years if De Gaulle had obeyed the oath he had taken as a military cadet at St. Cyr, the French West Point. Two lines of this oath are significant: "I shall abstain from the turmoil of public life. I want none of the public honors others may claim of you." Meanwhile the U. S. and the European Common Market re main deadlocked over the "Chicken War." The U. S. has re jected the proposal to reduce the West German tariff on frozen American chicken imports into the Common Markel by 1.3 cents per pound. Why? Because the U. S. is being asked at the same time to surrender its bargaining rights under the 1962 agreement with the Common Market and abandon threatened counter meas ures. The 1.3 cent reduction isn't much of a reduction, anyway. If the If. S. docs retaliate it will have to do so under Article M at GAIT. This means that it would have to retaliate tariff wise against the exports of all the European countries signatory to the agreement countries not in the Common Market and who have not, so far, anyway, discriminated against U. S. exports. So aome items must be found which will hurt only the country which originated the "Chicken War." The term "Chicken War'' is strangely appropriate since U. S. negotiators from the slate department have turned "chicken" in retaliating (irst against France for its unfair trade discrim inations and now West Germany. Two fruit seasons ago Pacific Coast fruit shippers warned the state department that it must retaliate against France under GATT Article '23 "immediately." This article, unlike Article 28, allows for trade retaliation against one country the country found guilty by the GATT ministerial conference of unfair trade restrictions. This has nothing to do with tariffs. However, the negotiators have been too busy smoking the peace pipe with France to be affected. The pipe must have more than A little bit of opium in it. If the trade negotiators hud been awake to the sharp dangers to the U. S. truit industry they should have known that "pussy footing" would gam thenj; nothing from France. Now other coun tries are seeing how easily the U. S. can be pushed around in trade negotiations. So West Germany is doing a little pushing. President Kennedy has sltuwn little if any understanding of the Comimoi Market ami (rf the overi e anil inlustr. We find it show so much interest in conservation of natural resources as demonstrated bv his recent western lour yet show so little in - lerest in the trade commodities produced by those nsluial resources. Pe Gaulle believes he is the reincarnation of Joan of Arc, yet he also has been seen flanked by a portrait ol Napoleon. During the war yours De Gaulle was difficult as a general. As a statesman ami the head of a major power he is impossible. It's high time our statesmen realue that. Perhaps it will take a change of administration FARM W oodlot Bv HICK OLSON I State Farm Forester 0 ' IMtiing the wefk of Sept.
