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.
"Merchants, business men, and
anyone interested In the agricul
tural problems of Douglas county
are welcome to attend tho confer
ence," Btates County Agent J. Ho
land Parker, "and It is hoped that
many will take advantage of the
opportunity to learn some of tho
problems the fm in family must
face in making (ts livelihood from
the soil."
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

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

ing lands aid a program to remove
the brush and to permit reseeding

Of real interest to the farm wom

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

sible.
