Dnle Hoecker, County E.xtension Agent for 4-H Club work. A total of 1,017 boys and girls carried 1,663 different 4-H proj ects beating the previous high enrollment of 9118 in 1961. A rec ord number of 159 volunteer adult leaders directed the boys and girls in projects that varied from beef to the study of in sects and cooking to child care. 4-1. membership is about equally divided between the rur al areas and suburban-urban areas of the county. The steady growth of the 4-H program indi cates that a larger percentage of boys and girls are continual ly joining from the suburban urban areas of the county. Trend to Suburbs With the trend to suburban urban living, 4-H Club work in Oregon has placed increased emphasis on providing educa tional projects that tit city or homc-in-the-country living. Boys and girls who are nine years of age or over may select from more than 45 different projects all of which have edu cational materials supplied by Oregon State University. Adult leaders come from all walks of life. The principal requirement is to like to work with boys and girls and to enjoy assisting them to develop and mature through a wholesome organiza tion. 4-11 leaders need not be spe cialists. Project materials sup plied by OSU and assistance from the Jackson county exten sion olfice help leaders keep ahead of developments in the various projects. r tuJTV i Join the BIG switch o DATSUN AMERICA'S FASTEST GROWING IMPORT SPL-310 Delivers fully equipped ftitH radio, heater, WSrY tires, seat belts, tonnaiu cover, tachometer, roll-up window.

Central Ava. rr Those members of the as sociation who have been spear heading the sale for the past three years said the prices at the recent bull sale were good considering the market. Forty seven animals were sold at a total price of $22,995. The date of the sale may be changed next year to make it easier for more buyers to attend. Some cattlemen have pointed out that the hunting season and annual cattle drive from high moun tain pastures early this month kept many buyers away. Ireland, who owned his first beef animal when he was nine years old in Pomona has been raising polled llcrofords (or eight years in Jackson county. He is immediate past president o( the Cal-Orc Hereford asso ciation and treasurer of the Jackson County Stockmen's as sociation. As a young cattle man, 29 years old, he tied his future to the annual bull sale which has paid off for him with more ranch sales. His bulls have consistently brought good prices at the yearly event. Production Sale The Ireland production sale will be held at 1 p.m., Nov. 20 at the Jackson county (air- grounds. On sale will he 60 head of females, most of them bred to the nc bull, 00 Del Mesa 32ml. Ireland purchased the five - year - old bull at the Sunnybrooks Farm dispersal sale in Sacramento, Calif, in Mav. The bull has never pro duced a horned calf. His calves have also rated high in the Cali fornia Beef Cattle Improvement tests. Ten of the young cows have calves in sight. The females are all daughters of HST Gold t Li onel which in turn was sired by the Gold Colonel bull, a record price bull which sold at $29,000 at public auction. The production sale has been advertised nationally. Ireland also has mailed out 600 invi tations to prospective sale buy ers to attend the no-host dinner during the Cal-Ore meeting in November.

This will effect the European as well as others. For these men, old Macmillan and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer made the big decisions which gave new Europe its progressive outlook. As we mentioned before Europe is a big market for Pacific Coast pears and apples, which of course includes Med ford's orchard products. Earlier, we traced French President de Gaulle's background and development as his nation's leader and chief architect of foreign policy including trade policy. This development leaves him as Europe's senior statesman. This does not bode well for the U.S. He has continually bucked a joint atomic defense plan boosted by the U.S. He has consistently refused to ease trade discrimi nations against U.S. agricultural goods, particularly fruit: even when France was found guilty of violating the GATT (General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade) covenants. Nobody knows who will be the British prime minister. This will be decided in a general election sometime in the next 12 months. In Germany the successor was picked months ago and took over leadership of his country's government Oct. 15. You would assume from this that the new German Chancellor would be well broken in for his new job. That is not true. He was vice-chancellor, but his chancellor. Dr. Adenauer did nothing to help him gain experience politically in the past 14 years. This could be a serious handicap. From what we have observed in this country and county, poli tics is not a craft as much as a habit. It grows in strength as it is practiced. Erhard has been concerned mainly with the eco nomic aspects of political problems. International politicians think of him in connection with West Germany's currency reform which led to West Germany's prosperity. So, West Germany will have a government head whose main concern has been the well-being of his nation's internal pros perity and its position in the international trade picture. This gives him a marked advantage over the U.S. because we have no such man at the head of our government. In fact, some peo ple in this country are beginning to wonder if President Ken nedy is even very adept at international politics. It's like placing the football team of Podunk high school against Notre Dame. They'll get smeared every time. Digressing a bit, this country's surplus food supplies are its greatest weapon, greater than the atom bomb because no na tion has been able to outproduce us and we know it can't. This is truly a "cold war," a cold, pitiless war and she must be fought that way. There is no guarantee that shipments of surplus wheat will reach the mouths of hungry Russian children. The USSR's feeling of good will was amptly demonstrated with a temporary blockade on the German Autobahn soon after the wheat deal was approved. This is what we are referring to. So, now de Gaulle has nobody from the U.S. to match him in political savvy and forcefulness, and de Gaulle has proved many times he is a forceful man. Dr. Erhard's lack of political experi ence makes him no match for de Gaulle. Although Adenauer worked closely with de Gaulle in development of the European Common Market and the shaping of the new Europe he had the political strength and agility to step back and say no when he felt de Gaulle's policies were wrong. He did this, for instance, when de Gaulle opposed the British entry into the Common Market. Adenauer worked closely with de Gaulle toward a peace insuring French-German understanding and a joint leadership of Europe. This locking of hands by two strong national leaders was aimed at keeping West Germany from being isolated through neutralism and eventually falling into the overpowering embrace of the Russian bear. These two loaders have not wanted any part of the western alliance to make poorly studied concessions to Russia. Hence there must be considerable gnashing of teeth among the peoples of these two countries over the wheat deal which led to no Rus sian concessions but instead a thumbing of the nose in the Auto bahn incident. A news picture of Adenauer and Erhard together would show a resemblance of the bulldog to the eagle. Such do their features in this particular picture resemble. Their beliefs might also illus trate this difference. Adenauer tends to be pessimistic about human nature. Erhard is optimistic. Adenauer has made a lot of his own decisions. Erhard has indicated he will work more with the cabinet. The Erhard cabinet has only three changes so indications are that the Adenauer policy will largely be continued; particularly so since Adenauer has declared he will remain at the head of his party. However, two of the only three changes may be important to U.S. trade relations. Kurt Schmucker, new minister of economics, is expected by observers to follow Erhard's liberal policy. Ludger Westrick. new minister of economics is considered a practical man. This may help the trade picture, also. Perhaps encouraging, also, is the belief by observers that Erhard is a defender of free enterprise, a strong supporter of world trade and the Atlantic Community and Britain's joining the Common Market. In contrast to his predecessor's stubborn prodding of West Germany and France into a strong alliance and Europe into a community of nations, Erhard may have to be swift as an eagle to keep ahead of the rapidly changing international picture, lie may have to do what his predecessor was never able to do, suc cessfully promote a reunited Germany. A study of Adenauer's seeches shows he approached this prob lem also in slow, stubborn fashion. But. after four years he did force an agreement from the U.S.. Britain and France that a united Germany is necessary for the peace of Europe and the world. This was reaffirmed in a note to the USSR in 1952. It is now 11 years since that initial agreement. As Adenauer remarked, he would leave office much happier if he could be assured that the sale of surplus wheat to Russia would mean the removal of the Berlin wall. Erhard will have to act swiftly to convince the U.S. that future sales must be accompanied with Russian concessions. And. according to reports on Russia's agri cultural problems, it will take more than Canadian wheat to satisfy Russia's needs. Some U.S. economists are already hailing the opening of Rus sian trade as a great economic boom to this country. Many peo ple who watched the sale ol scrap-iron to Japan before World War 11 thought the same thing until it was traded back in the form of screaming shells and bombs.

MORTON MIUIMC CO. 500 Raai lam, MoarfartJ ORECON Walnut Growers Urged to Check Walnut Husk Fly SALEM Walnut growers are being urged by the Oregon De partment of Agricul t u r e to check their trees for possible in festations of the walnut husk fly. The fly has been located in walnuts in the Medford area. Department entomologists, sent there to check the extent of the infestation found it widely dis tributed over that area. Hugh Taylor, chief of the de partment's plant division, said this is the first known infesta tion of the fly in Oregon. The department maintains sticky boards for trapping insects in that area and has also used light traps from time to time, b u t the adult fly has never been de tected. Nuts with the worm were sent the department by Donald W. Berry, county agent in Jackson county. Worm in Husk The worm is in the husk of the nut and the husk turns black as the worm works on it. Ento mologists have advised walnut growers to look for dark spots on the sides of their walnut husks and to get the nut while it is still on the tree. The dark spots caused by the fly larva arc similar to t h o s e caused by walnut blight, but arc soft and rotten instead of dry. When the walnut drops to t h e ground the larva quickly crawls into the earth to hibernate. Taylor advises walnut grow ers who are suspicious of an in festation of the fly to contact their county agents or the Ore gon Department of Agriculture. He said the department is hope ful the insect can be contained in the present area and not spread to the commercial pro duction area of the Willamette Valley. The insect does not enter the meat of the nut but affects the grade of the nut because it dis colors the shell. California has the (ly through out much of its nut growing areas and has been using con trol measures, but has been un able to contain it. Other n u t growing areas of the United States, including Idaho, also have the fly. Washington had one infestation, but is apparent ly now free of the fly.

Pacific Power and Light company, Medford, attended a meeting of the Pa cific Northwest section, Ameri can Society of Agricultural En gineers Oct. 16-18 at the Shera ton Motor Inn, Portland. Schmidt was vice chairman at the soils and water section of the conference. Agricultural engineers apply engineering principles to agri cultural problems, Schmidt ex plained. Some of the fields are: (1) soil and water, (2) farm structures, (3) electric power and processing and (4) power and machinery. The Pacific Northwest section covers Ore gon, Washington, Idaho, Alaska, British Columbia, Alberta, Sas katchewan and western Mon tana. Some of the subjects treated in presentation of papers were j irrigation, drainage, water de-1 velopment, food processing, hay drying, fruit handling and or chard equipment. Maj. Gen. Lapsley, division engineer, U. S. Corps of Engi neers, Portland, spoke on "Wa ter Resources Development in the Pacific Northwest." The general cited the Rogue Basin project as an excellent example of complete compre hensive planning, Schmidt said. At a later session, Chris L. Wheeler, Oregon state engineer, j spoke on water needs for irriga tion. He also called attention to the Rogue project and said not i all of the water available could (Gaaimge ed to determine the attitude of the membership on taxes.
