Farmers and their wires are expected to show a keen Interest in the recommendations of the various committees to bring about Increased farm incomes to enable the enjoyment of more mod ern conveniences in their homes.

Changes Imperative The problem of land use has been thoroughly studied by the land usu committee, under the leadership of K. It. Clarke of Oak land. Tho committee states that certain changes are necessary in land use if the agricultral income of the county Is to be Improved. A land classification survey Is rec ommended as one of the first steps, followed by an improvement in the grazing lauds, according to their best uho, to enable n greater carry ing capacity of livestock upon the farms. It Is also suggested that suhmargluat farms be eliminated wherever possible, and that orch ards on poor and low producing lands be pulled and the land de voted to rotation pastures. D. N. Husenlmrk, chairman of the crops committee, states that owners of crop and grazing lands in the county should regard owner ship of their farms as a trust In volving the obligation to conserve as well as to have the privilege of productive use. The committee hns found that (here Is little oppor tunity to increase the total acreage members; forestry club of 12 mem bers; room Improvement of 5 members, and, Jl.vea.iock .club .of; 6 members; hobby club with l'.i memhora; camp cookery with 10 members, and clothing I with 6 members.

Livestock Decreasing "The livestock population ot the county, especially sheep and beer cattle, hat been decreasing rf several years," states U. F. Nichols, chairman of the livestock commit tee, "and every effort should Tie made to bring back pastures and grazing lauds to enable farmers and livestock growers to increase! livestock, especially oheep, to tb? former number." The decrease In livestock numbers has been due, according to members of the live stock committee, to the encroach ment of brush upon former graz ing lands aid a program to remove the brush and to permit reseeding or Improvement in the caiHtV and grazing capacity of the ffilu will be necessary us the first step.) in increasing livestock production. Of real interest to the farm wom en or the county will be the report of the home and rural life commit tee. Chairman Mrs. Gertrude Hat field, or Hoseburg, reports the com mittee has made surveys of hoiVs ing conditions in the rural sections of the county aid find that many' or the rural homes do not have many or the modem conveniences' necessary for a happy and con-j tented rurul lHe. The committee has pointed out that in many rural homes inexpensive water systems may be installed that will eliminate ' packing water from the well to the house for family use. Remodeling! r kitchens and other rooms can be douu without great expense, large ly through family effort and labor. It was also round that a large number or rurul homes and urban homes did not produce sufficient vegetables for the family's lmnfe- diato use, ami it was recommended that an educational program be In stituted to encourage tho proti ac tion or the family's needs In the way of vegetables wherever pos sible. Many other suggestions or inter est to tho people or the county nave been made by the committees. and the roll benefit or the confer ence cannot be given in oral or written reports. "The one means of securing all the information available," states O. N. Kiddle. general chairman, "is for every resident of the county to be pres ent."
