OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corval
lis Many hundreds of Oregon fam
ilies are already well on their way
toward production of more and bet
ter vegetables for. their own use this
year, and even toward the growing of
"year round" gardens. Judging from
reports coming In from county agentaj
unu noma aemonsirauwi agents wno
are co-operating In furthering this
practical form of both farm and un
employment relief.
Meanwhile to meet the unusually
heavy demand for gardening Infor
mation, the extension service here
has Just published two bulletins by
A. G. B. Bouquet, head of vegetable
gardening. One of these Is entitled
"Growing Fall and Early Winter Vege
tables," and Is devoted to culture of
such vegetables as cabbage, cauliflow
er, bruesels sprouts. Bplnach, celery,
Chinese cabbage, Swiss chard, and
many others found less commonly in
tho garden.
Th second bulletin Is a reprint en
titled "The Farm Vegetable Garden,"

What this organized attention 4o
gardening may mean to the state is
indicated in an outline of this pro
ject adopted Jn one .of -the-, .counuea
where .active co-operative work Is un
der way. In this county the present
economic conditions nave sent scores
of workers Xrom ..the cities to small
farms so that every hut or cabin is
occupied oy those who hope to pro
duce much of their lood irom their
gardens.
In this same county approximately
10 per cent of this year's budget Is
set aside for "aid to poor." Thus if
those families, many of them Inex
perienced In gardening or in food
preservation, can be helped produce
much of their own food this year, the
entire county will be helped.
But these gardening projects have
a much wider object than mere un
employment aid, as they are aimed at
the four-fold objective of aiding rural
families provide a year round vege
table supply, hdlplng homemakers
bring consumption of vegetables up to
health needs, assisting rural home
makers in preservation of form pro
duced foods, and promoting exchange
of surplus foodstuffs. Five counties
already report definite enrollment of
families In this project numbering
from one to three hundred. Each
family receives a monthly letter on
"what-to-do" and other types of as
sistance throughout the season.

Enterprise Indicate that the demand
lor seed has been quite heavy this
spring and has resulted in a con
siderable boost in price. Some of
those having some seed rye for sale
are asking C32 per ton. During the
past number of years much experi
menting with various types of
grasses, sweet clover and other plants
nas been done at many of the dry
land farms. However, in many in
stances, they have not proven very
satisfactory In supplying the larger
amounts of hay and late summer pas
ture for which they were intended
and this, together with the extreme
feed shortage, which has been ex
perienced in practically all parts of
the county during the past winter is
causing some of the farmers in the
dry Areas to again think seriously
of returning at least a portion of
their fields to growing of rye in an
effort to meet these urgent needs.
Union o. . Lambs
Aocordlng to average estimates,
says the Farm. Bulletin .the range
lamb crop in Union county this year
is about 80 per oent. increase as com
pared to around 100 per cent for nor-
xrtal. Farm lambing has been poor
er than usual, but will run safely
over 100 per cent. Lambs are In
poor condition but those on grass are
beginning' to improve. The Blue Mt.
Livestock association recently Incor
porated, plans a first shipment of
pooled lambs about the middle of
May, according to T. B. Johnson,
president. Many farm flock lambs
are being fed grain In creeps to get
them finished for the early market.
Some
Lambs
Shipped
Improved growing conditions for a
iess than normal lamb crop, but some
.decline In prices Recently on new
.crop lambs-were reported by-jthe -O.
S. C. extension service at the close of
the first week, of April.
With an abundance of moisture In
tlie soil, Oregon ranges and pastures
are now. making good growth. Con
ditions in the high mountains, where
the snow covering exceeds the normal
lor this time of the year, are encour
aging to stockmen. Many sheep and
.cattle, especially in southern counties.
are being moved to cirly ranges.
While some new crop lambs from
Willamette valley flocks havo already
gone to jnarket, lambing In the range
bands of Eastern Oregon is Just well
under way. In valley flocks the lamb
crop was heavy, but In the band3 of
Eastern and Southern Oregon, con
siderable loss of old ewes occurred
and more than normal loss of lambs
due to poor condition of ewes follow
ing a severe winter on poor quality
feed.

Expenses
FARM FAMILIES
Living costs of 38 typical farm fam
ilies representing both Eastern and
Western Oregon were reduced over
18203 per family during 1931 through
the extensive use of food produced at
homo, according to a care analysis of
family expenditures by the extension
service of the Washington State col-.
lege. Complete records of household
expenditures were kept under tha
'supervision of home demonstration
I agents In the respective counties. Th0
j average number In each famUy of the
survey was 4.4 individuals and th
; total household cash expenditures
' averaged $930 for the year.
I Foods Amount to $191
Food purchases for the year aver
aged $191 per family. Each family
'produced some food at home. Poultry, . 1
a bome garden, a cow or cows, can-
ning and storing of vegetables, home
'grown beef and pork, selective buy
ing and use of home-milled cereals,
'all contributed 'toward keeping the .
'cash food expenditures at a minimum
. in the different families,
j Clothing was the next most expen- '
slve item, averaglgn $120 per family.
Remodeling clothing,. home dry clean
j lng, making clothing at home and
careful buying were pointed out as
vitally important In curtailing this
expenditure. One questlonaire re
vealed that 76 per cent of the farm
women made all or a part of their
house dressss at home. Forty-five per
cent preferred to buy dresses for bet-

sawed well enough to moke their own, .
and 13 per cent made part and
bought part of their better wear
dresses. The farm home-makers pur
chased on the average six pairs of cot-1
ton hose at 31 cent3 par pair and 6.8
pair silk hose at $1.10 per pair dur
ing the year.
j Other Expenditures Listed
j The average expenditure of other
items were listed as follows:
' Automobile $92.
Operating expenses $84.
Development $83.
Housing $82.
Furnishing and equipment $73.
H-aalth $43.
Personal expenditures $27.
Savings $133.
Keeping buildings well-painted,
floors and floor coverings in good re
pair, substituting wood for coal
where feasible, and saving on soap
by softening of water, were suggested
as a means of keeping operating ex
penses at a minimum.
