ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 8, 1941. FIVE Farm Program To Be Drawn for 1941 By Pomona Grange Recommendations Offered Conference of Leaders and Others Held in Roseburg at An agricultural program which will Improve conditions for marketing of farm crops and improve relations between grow er, distributor and consumer is being plannoil under grange sponsorship, according to Fro1 A. Goff, chairman of Douglas County Pomona grange agri cultural committee. The pro f.ram is expected to include bet ter organization of producers, improvements and standardiza tion of packs, and an effort to ' peia consumer demand for locally-grown products. The grange also is expected to , undertake a study of nom-s mcth- j od to prevent fluctuaLons of " prices on farm ei-ops dur':; mar ket season. Lower Prices Cited I oducers of turkeys in Doug las county, it is claimed, were forced to take a largo drip in t' o price of i.nrir bi.-Cr, during the Christmas holiday season. Commercial egg producers, Mr. Golf states, are questioning the reason why egg prices should be dropped at this time of year, thus permitting storage operators to replenish stocks at low prices to be held until a higher market i permits sale at a large margin of profit. Continuation of the pest hunt for 1941, extension of the weed control program, and continued support for 4H club work and the activities of the Future Farmers of America are among mother projects expected to gain 'grange support in the county- wide program, Mr. Goff repoits. The projects are being out I i. led following an interesting confer ence held Monday at the court house, at which time officers of the subordinate granges heard discussions of numerous topics pertaining to agriculture. The various phases of farm, crop and livestock financing were discussed by representa tives of federal agencies. Interesting Talks Heard Of particular local interest were talks hv E. A. Britton, coun ty 4-H club leader; Homer Grow, Smith-Hughes agricultural teach er in the Roseburg schools and V. V. Harpham, forest super visor.

Mr. Grow made a report on Ihe agricultural work 'In' ihe Roseburg schools and particul arly interested his listeners witn an explanation of the new na tional defense training program v. hich offers an opportunity to young men for training in spe cial vocations connected wi'h the defense program. Mr. Harpham, discussed the re lationship between forests and farms, presented interesting fig ures with regard to timber re sources In Douglas county, point ins out that the present timber cut of 150 million feet annu&Oy is about one-fourth of the amount available on a sustained yield basis. Approximately IS, 000 people could be employed in the timber industry in Douglas (ounty under the program of sus tained yield as now outline.! lor timber on national fores', lands, he r'-ported. This condition would provide a greatly increas ed market for farm products It. L. Adams, Douglas county 1;EA manager, presented an in teirsting report on the progress In rural electrification. Advice From Store Hcare, The local marketing section of the cnnfcrenc", addressed by Tom Parkinsoi and Dave EIPs, Meal grocers, ailracted mu?h in terest The local looil dealers pointed i.nt that the I. od markets of Roseburg are anxious and will ing to give pr.-f -rence to hon-e hi own products, hut that there rrust be a closer degree of coop-'V.-.tion In griding, packaslng and control of deliveries. It was po-nteel out that all pi-'duei-; imil be car-'iV.My graded an! must be neatly packed and deliv nrds of quality. Packaged goods must be neatlypacked and deliv eries must be made to meet the growers' needs. Farmers, it was pointed out, should ascertain in advance what products can be handled by the grocer and that deliveries should lie marie at the limes agreed upon. The grocers expressed a desire to work in closer cooieration with the farm ers in increasing the local mar ket for home grown produce. Nick Neufeld of the Roseburg Grange Supply reported on the work of the grange-organized co operative and urged members to avail themselves of the service. It was agreed by the grange officers attending the confer ence to place a report before the resM'Ctive granges and to report "back suggestions from the mem bership at a meeting of Pomona grange at Melrose on March 29, at which time, it is expected, a definite program of projects will be adopted.
