The choice was made after careful consideration by Oris Rudd, county extension agent, and Duane Crane, of the Soil Con servation Service, at the request of the local -laycce chapter. After graduation . from t h e School of Agriculture at Oregon State College In 1950, Jaska re turned to his home in Lake Coun ty and began a farming and ranching operation with his fa ther, Frank Jaska.

The Jnska farms consist of 480 acres of land in the Goose Lake Valley, of which 120 acres art Ir rigated and about 360 acres are dry land, cultivated. In addition to potatoes, the farming operation consist of small grains, alfalfa, pasture, and Hereford cattle cul ture. Progressiva farming ' methods Include crop rotation of alfalfa followed by two years of potatoes, one year of small grains, then more alfalfa.- From 350 to 500 pounds of "16-20-0" fertilizer are applied colore seeding to pota toes, It is planned to establish about 25 acres of marginal, alkali soil to alta fescue and tall wheat grass. . Approximately 40 head of Here. ford breeding stock are main talned, The calves are sold as weaners. Since the death of his father In IM7, Jaska has been in charge of the total operation. Books and records are kept by his wife Elisabeth. In addition to ranching, Jaska finds time to call square dances for Eastslde Grange in New Pino Creek.

IIIGIITOWER Associated Press Diplomatic Affairs Reporter WASHINGTON (API - Presi dent-elect John F. Kennedy in. tends to build up United States military power and devise new strategy to wrest the cold war initiative from the Soviet union, in his first months in office, Until he has these projects well advanced, Kennedy and the sec retary of state-designate, Dean Rusk, hope to postpone pressures for a summit conference with So viet Premier Khrushchev. Early summit meetings with allied lead' ers appear inescapable; both Prime Minister Harold Macmillan of Britain and West German Chancellor Konrad Adenauer an xiously desire to talk with the new chief executive. Even a meeting with Khrush chev in the first six months may not be avoidable because the So viet leader can set off a new Berlin crisis any time he wishes. New action promised by Ken nedy in live global struggle with communism ranges from increas ing aid for Latin America, Africa and Asia to robuilding the North Atlantic alliance, opening new channels of contact with Red China, and developing a "new ap proach, to the Soviet Union. In connection with the Soviets, Kennedy said during the cam paign that one thing Red leaders understand is power, and that his first concern as president would be to enhance America's armed strength in both nuclear and con ventional weapons. . Kennedy's broad commitment on taking office Jan. 20 is to "get America moving again" and to restore its "prestige. He says de terminations on how best to work toward these goals Is the over riding task of the new adminis' tration. Strantz Tells In Irrigation Maurice K. Strantz, manager of, the Tulclake Irrigation' District, announced that some changes would be effected in the irrigat ing procedure in the public land areas in the coming year. Strand emphasized the importance for all bidders to be aware of the change in plans before bidding Stranlt stated that irrigation to) indicated that In all like the Hcnzcl Strip would be han dled in a conventional manner with the farmers receiving water for each unit at the unit head gate and the farmers responsible for irrigating the unit themselves. The flooding procedure that has been used in the past will not be followed in the 1961 irrigation season, This area should be Irri gated in small checks to protect the construction now in progress, Water in tho Hcnzcl Strip will generally not be available until sometime after March I, 1961 Strantz outlined that while field dikes have been put up in most instances, that in some units farmers would be obligated to complete the field dikes, construct internal checks and head ditches and K they plan to spill water into Hi dorin re piwwle for Hie nsitid pipe spills, Strantz mentioned that in the Southwest Sump, the northern por tion of this area which was now furnished with Irrigation facilities would also not be flooded.

One of Kennedy's first decisions must be on the di vision of hi! time between the grand design of his foreign policy and the challenges and crises he must handle from day to day . Already, in fact, critical prob lems are piling up for speedy action. Foremost among these are: I. Negotiations with the Soviet Union on a treaty banning nuclear weapons tests. Kennedy is on rec ord as favoring "one more" big attempt to reach agreement. But as president he will be subjected to very heavy pressures from the Atomic Energy Commission ana defense department to end the 26-month-old moratorium on U.S. weapons testing and resume un derground explosions quickly. 1 2. The dollar crisis. Kennedy Is reported convinced thai he must take steps promptly to strengthen the American dollar as an inter national cuirency, Which means! cutting this country's loss of gold and dollars. Measures taken by, the Eisenhower administration should become effective this year, but other action will be required to control the 4-billion annual balance of payments deficit, 3. The crisis in Laos, state de partment experts consider the conflict between pro-Wostern and pro-Communist forces In the lllllc Southeast Asian kingdom cnpublu of expansion into a larger war involving Western forces and the Chinese Communists. 4. The Cuban crisis. Behind the scenes more is more ouiciai alarm than has appeared publicly about the danger and damage to the U.S. world position from the buildup of Communist Influence in Cuba. President Eisenhower ap plied economic sanctions and sev. cred diplomatic relations. Kenne day will be urged to use a variety Of Change Practices planting season.

This was the immediate cause of the abor tive I960 summit at Paris, and could develop mlo a new crisis at any time. U S. officials believe, however, that Khrushchev will stay his hand until Kennedy has an opportunity to take over the reins in Washington. Khrushchev evidently does want to meet the youthful new American leader, and undoubtedly knows that he would frustrate his own purpose if he mistimed his Berlin moves However, it is also true that an extremely serious Berlin situation might force Kennedy to move to ward a summit conference just as Eisenhower felt forced to do. Kennedy's chief concern about rushing into meetings with West ern leaders is that he needs time to get his cabinet and other top advisers organized, and to make an initial policy review. Apart from. the Adenauer and Macmillan deslrej to meet him. it has been suggested that a NATO meeting at Oslo, Norway, in May should he converted into a Western sum mit session. Otherwise, it will be a foreign ministers meeting. Rusk also must got ready for U.S. rep resentation in scheduled CENTO (Middle East) SEATO (Southeast Asia) and inter-American alliance meetings within the first six months of this year. The NATO meeting will be of great importance. U.S.' allies ex pect to find out there whether Kennedy will go forward with a plan advanced by tho Elsenhower administration for giving NATO Its own. seaborne nuclear rocket force. While neither Kennedy nor1 any spokesman is known to have made any actual commitment, he is expected to support the 'prelim, inary position taken by the out going administration. How Kennedy handles each of these meetings and deals initiallv with each of the critical problem, win nave a decisive influence on the world's reaction to his leader- nip aDiiny. one of the most sinking facts about world reaction to Kennedy's election has been the evidence in editorial comment in foreign capitals that his promise lo provide dynamic leadership for the United States and the Free Now, the leaders and the peoples in scores oi countries are waiting for him to sho v what he can do. mm mm WW.
