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. Royal Panama

the Bradshaws have been man
aging the beef herd they have
taken championships and blue
ribbons at a number of fairs
and livestock shows.
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. John
Runner! used to raise high qual
ity truck garden crops . but
Mind he could not compete
profitably with the early, mass
produced California crops.

On June 18, 1340, a little known French general climbed out
of an R.A.F. bohier in England and broadcast a dramatic appeal
to all Frenchmen on British soil: "Whatever may occur, the flame
of French resistance must not die"
i"h only jxjrscn who knew about this broadcast ahead of time
v-j,s tht general. 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. (j

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
