Family Living Problems Will Be
Discussed by 0. S. C. 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
