The report of the committee la as follows: Sale of dairy products provides fifteen per cent of the agriculture income for Douajlaa county. A erud ual Increase has been noted In the number of dairy cows In the county since 1910, there being O.BIili cows two years old or over. On January 1, 195, it was estimated that there were 11,-iuo dairy cows two years old or older. The Increase in the number of dairy cows In Douglas county has been somewhat more rapid than the Increase In the num ber of cows in the United Stales lind this condition is lo bo expect ed with the population In tho west ern states Increaslni; more rapidly than In the entire country.

Dairy Industry Sound There has been liltlo expansion of the dairy business In Douglas county, the dairymen of the county conducting their plants efficiently. The county bus been accredited fieo from tuberculosis for several years, and bus made rapid -progress in testing for Hang's disease. The average production per cow has been raised during tho last 10 years, due largely lo a combination of dairy herd improvements, bet ter feeding, innl miinugement prae- A Repair Ports & Service for All Models Farm Bureau Cc -operative Exchange COUNTY AGENTS REPORTS tices. There also has been maiked interest in the improvement of the quality of hay and In the develop ment of belter pastures both through irrigation and otherwise. The manufacturing facilities lo cated in the county are more than adequate to take cure of all the production for years to come. The price paid by local manufacturing plants has been correlated close ly with the Portland market quota tions. Dairying is a sound enterprise for Douglus county and Its further development should be encouraged, expansion bieng based, however, uHjn sound practices of dairy cat tle management.

This either may he done through a herd improvement association or by individual effort, a duiry herd improvement associa tion being advised. Special coopera tion with tiie county agent on this program will bring profitable re- i suits. ! Undue emphasis may have been placed upon high production per cow without sufficient emphasis allowed for economical production. While it Is a general rule that low cost of production goes with high i piodnetion per cow, higher pro- (jlu.(oii among cows with low in- heritance muy be utiained at exces- pay el duo ultcnllon to the cost of producing a pound of hiittcrfut or loo pounds of inllk In connection with their herd improvement pro gram. Kach farm presents some what of a different problem and I the successful dairyman must' study his own dairy herd operation. High producing purebred sires should be developed in tho pro posed herd Improvement associa tion. A program which will result In proving at least five sires each year should be adopted by tho as sociation. Many small dairymen find it dif ficult to own a good Hire because of relative high coat per cow. Joint-ownership of sires Is suggest ed by 8 nut 11 groups, or an exchange program between two or three, each owning n good siro could be arranged, every two years. The second suggestion uUo permits the proving of aires. The organlzalion of a limited number of -HI calf clubs every year Is encouraged.

Experts at Conference in Roseburg April 15 At the gecond annual county con ference on family living, which, will he held at' the K.'of P. hall in Hose burg on Wednesday, April 15, beginning at 9:45 a. m., Mrs. Aza lea Sager, extension specialist in clothing and textiles, will discuss "When the Family Buys Shoes Mrs. Sager says: "I find that few parents know how much larger the shoes should be than the feet. Many parents tell me they spend more money on shoes than on any other Hem of clothing, and some times they wear well and again they are a 'poor buy'." The cost, comfort and wearing qualities are the problems in shoes Mrs. Sager emphasizes. Mrs. Sager will discuss the types of shoes tor the various members of the family, men as well as for women states County Agent J. Ro land Parker and both men and wo men interested in the program are welcome to attend. The iirst shoe necessary for the very small child will not be forgotten, and the cor rect type for growing boys and girls will be explained. Mrs. Maud M. Morse, extension specialist In child development and parent education, will talk on "Our Family Talks Jt Over." The prob lems common to all families wilt be discussed and it is hoped many of the younger married women and others will be present to hear the talk given by Mrs. Morse. Mrs. Morse has had unusual training for teaching parent edu cation and child development, which includes both practical and theoretical knowledge. In June, 1933, she received her master's de gree in child development ut Ore- . gon Stale college. The conference on family living is sponsored by the county home economics committee and the ex tension service through the local county agent's office. The confer ence will start ut 9:15 a. m. and will close at 4:00 p. in. with a pot luck luncheon ut noon. expected. Pastures Are Problem Douglas county, except tho coast areu, hut) been ruislng an udequute supply of hay, most of which is suitable lo dairy purposes, lly prop er management the yields uud total production of hay in the coast re gion can b j increased, this being desirable becauso coast dairymen must pay out annual expenses for hay purchased from outside sources. The rest of the county al ready is supplied with hay of good quality for milk production. Alfal fa may be Increased in some areas, taking the place of less desirable hays. The alfalfa acreage should be increased where it can meet a real need for duiry production. There are two different pasture problems in Ioug)us county, irrl , Haled and non-irrigated areas. , There already are some satisfac tory examples; of Irrigated Ladino ! clover pastures. Many farms, are 1 favorable for development or irrl- 1 gated pastures and every dairyman ' who can providu Irrigated pastures " should provide I.adino clover tu ' take care of the requirements of his dairy herd. Where water Is not available on a profitable basis, attention Is di rected to the possibility of Sudan i grass, or root rot-resistant sweet clover. Dairymen cooperating with the county agent concerning trial pastures, will learn v. hut possibili ties exist for adequate non-irrigated pastures. l'arl of ulfaifa acreage may be used for pasture if all the crop is not needed for hay. In the coast region during the late summer, pastures dry up to such an extent that milk piodne tion is greatly decreased. Feeding green corn during this period is suggested as a means to maintain a steady milk flow.. Management Vital In the herds of larger size the eost of production ordinarily w 111 i be lower than in the smaller herds. This point is emphasized fur the benefit of tboHe who may not ap preciate fully (lie significance of this important luctor in production costs. There is no desire to sug gest to anyone how large tu devel op liis business, but at the same lime t ho.se whit desire lo engage in dairying as an important part of their farm bnslness should not overlook this point. Many dairymen have n tendency to raise surplus an I ma Ik for sale lo out of-slate buyers. There Is no raeson to believe there will be hea y demand for surplus stock, during (lie next few years. liaising too many animals for replacements may result in too-rapid an expan sion In the dairy Industry. The cost of raising heifers as re vealed by the study of tho Oregon agricultural experiment station in dicates that ut no time during the four years of tho study, did the av erage price received meet the av erane cost of raising the heifers.
