4-H Club Members
Pass 1,000 Mark
.lackson County 4-H club en
rollment has passed the 1,000
mark for the first time, accord
ing to F. 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.

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

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

.MEDFORD
Chit
By JCE
Mall Tribune
Two men who have given Europe its stability during the post
war recovery period are now stepping down.
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.

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.

(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
