discussions are generally followed
by mighty interesting programs
which are such that they can be,
and generally are, thoroughly en
joyed by young and old.
The programs are given by the

American gunboat came to their
rescue before they were carried off
into the interior.
Miss Liebrand brought with her
on her return to America some
beautiful keepsakes from China,
These she brought to Alpine with
her and had on display. After her
talk she invited the people to ex

making and purposes of many of
the articles when used in China.

Many Beef Cattle Saved;
Hog Numbers on Increase
With the number of cows near
the largest total ever reached In
this country, the cattle industry is
in position to expand beef produc
tion rapidly, says an outlook report
released by the college extension
service. Cattlemen have been mar
keting steers liberally and keeping
tne cows in tne herds.
The report points out that there
have been three cycles in cattle pro
duction since 1880, with the peaks
in numbers about 16 years apart.
The low point of the present cycle
was in 1928.
"It is characteristic for slaughter
to reach a peak a year or two after
the peak in cattle numbers, and for
prices to reach a low point after the
decline in cattle numbers has been
in progress for some time," says the
outlook.
"While the trend of demand and
prices for the prospective increase
in beef will depend largely upon
the extent to which consumer in
comes and purchasing power in
crease, the supply outlook suggests
the need for conservatism in fur
ther efforts to expand beef produc
tion," the report concludes.
The outlook for hogs during the
1933-34 marketing seasn is not very
encouraging, although only about
an average supply of pork is ex
pected to reach the markets during
the intervening months, according
to a report by the Oregon agricul
tural extension service.
Not much improvement from the
present low level in exports of hog
products is expected, but the inten
tions report indicates that more
sows will farrow this fall than a
year ago when the fall pig crop was
the largest in seven years.
With a record corn crop in the
corn belt where 90 per cent of the
market supply of hogs originates,
farmers will be Inclined to breed
more sows for farrowing next
spring, the report says.
Thus far the decline in prices for
hogs has not been due to increased
market supplies but to the big de
crease in exports and weak pur
chasing power of consumers in this
country. If demand Improves, it
will offset somewhat the effect of
the prospective increase in production.
Tomatoes Healthful Aid
To Family Winter Diet
"Tomatoes served in some form
two to four times a week is good
health insurance," points out Lucy
A. Case, extension specialist in nu
trition. "Cooked, canned, dryed or
raw tomatoes are rich in vitamin
C. They furnish protection to adults
and children from scurvy and lat
ent scurvy, which are not uncom
mon human ailments and may be
indicated by lack of energy, poor
growth of children, lowered resist
ance to infections, disease of the
teeth, gums and bones, hemor
rhages, and general ill health. To
mato juice serves as an inexpen
sive substitute in the diet for or
ange or lemon juice and is given to
infants as early as one month of
age, even younger."
Now while tomatoes are plentiful
and cheap is the time to make sure
the family has an abundant supply
of them for winter and spring
months, according to food special
ists who recommend that each fam
ily can from 90 to 180 containers f
tomatoes, the word "container"
meaning that size which serves the
family for one meal.
One common cause of spoilage in
canned tomatoes is failure to keep
the water boiling continuously for
30 minutes when the product is
canned in the hot water bath. An
other spoilage cause is failure to
remove all of the sections of white
core when preparing the tomatoes
for canning. This white core re
quires longer cooking for steriliza
tion than the rest of the tomato,
and if left in may not be cooked
thoroughly, resulting in a spoiled
product.
Tomato juice may be made in tne
winter time from canned tomatoes
or may be made now and canned.
To can tomato juice, wash the to
matoes well, cut them In sections,
add a small quantity of water. Boll
them until soft, being careful not
to allow them to burn. Put thru
a sieve or colander to remove seeds
and skins, then add one teaspoon
of salt to each quart Bring to
boil, pour into containers and pro
cess in hot water bath for 20 minutes.
Directions for canning all fruits
and vegetables grown in Oregon are
given in Extension bulletin 450,
Home Food Preservation, which
may be obtained free of charge by
writing any county extension office,
or sending a request to the home
economics extension service, Cor-
vallis.
Dairy Products Keep On
Increasing, Says Report
An increase in the supply of dairy
products during the coming year,
unless unfavorable conditions
should develop, is forseen In the
regular mid-summer outlook report
just issued by the economics depart
ment of the Oregon State college
extension service.
The number of cows to freshen
this fall is expected to be materially
larger and there will be the largest
aggregate supply of grain and by
product feeds since 1920, with the
hay crop 10 per cent above last
year though 8 per cent below the
10-year average. A hay shortage
exists in the 14 northern states east
of the Mississippi where nearly half
the dairy cows are found.
The number of milk cows has
been increasing rapidly for three
years, the outlook report points
out. The increase for the years
1929-1931 was 2 Ms, 3, and ZM per
cent respectively. The rate of in
crease so far this year is even larg
er owing to an increase in the num
ber of heifers raised recently and a
decrease in the number of old cows
slaughtered.
Within the next five years farm
ers will probably begin culling their
herds more closely, the report adds,
and selecting heifer calves more
carefully so as to reduce the num
ber of cows and Increase average
production.
The demand for dairy products
may be expected to Increase as bus
iness conditions Improve and indus
trial payrolls expand, the report
concludes. When, for how long,
and to what extent general price
levels will rise and payrolls increase
are Important questions for the
dairy industry because of the close
relationship of these factors to
dairy prices.
Governor Meier Backs
Fire Prevention Week
"For the past three years Oregon's
average annual contribution to the
Fire Demon has been more than 30
human lives, injury to over 150 per
sons and the destruction of prop
erty to the value of eight million
dollars," epitomizes Governor Meier
in proclaiming the week of October
9 to 15 as Fire Prevention week In
Oregon.
"Nearly 25 million dollars of our
staple economic resources was sac
rificed upon the altar of careless
ness in the past three years. Fully
one-half of these values is repre
sented by industrial and commer
cial resources less than 60 per cent
of which is ever replaced. .
'This careless waste of our fun
damental resources is prodigal and
is gradually sapping the economic
vitals of our great commonwealth.
"That these resources may in fu
ture be conserved to the benfit and
prosperity of the Oregon public and,
In keeping with the proclamation of
the President of the United States
in the interest of fire prevention
and control,
"Now, therefore, I, Julius L.
Meier, governor of the state of Ore
gon, by virtue of the power and
authority vested in me, do hereby
proclaim October 9 to 15, 1932, as
Fire Prevention week and earnestly
urge the people, the press, and all
civic, patriotic, fraternal, and In
dustrial organizations of the com
monwealth to put forth their united
efforts toward the elimination of
the loss and suffering which follow
In the wake of preventable fires."
