Agricultural production goals for

were
presented at a meeting conducted by
the Morrow County U.S.D.A. De
fense board in the courthouse last
Tuesday with Henry Baker as chair-
man.
This was the first of a series
of three educational meetings on the j on the recommendations submitted,

by increasing their production of
the needed produce will be protect
ed on the price of that produce
through the year 1942 by the Stea
gall Act which guarantees an 85
percent of parity price or better.
The list of farm products for
which an increase has been asked
and the percent of increase goals
set for Morrow county are milk
10 percent, milk cows 2, eggs 10, beef
cattle 10, hogs 30, chickens 10, tur
keys 10, barley 200 and farm gar
dens 38.
The figure for beef cattle is for
an increase in slaughter rather than
an increase in production. C. D. !
Conrad, county agent, and a mem
ber of the county defense board,
pointed out that beef cattle num
bers are at an all time high and the
request for an increased slaughter
during 1942 is to encourage the
beef producer to take advantage of ,
the present favorable prices and Mr. Larson states that anyone in
avoid loss following the defense terested in enlisting in the navy or
emergency, and at the same time ' naval reserve on Navy day should
make the much needed meat avail- I contact him immediately at the Na-
able.
Conrad further explained that the
defense board believes that the pro
duction goals for the county can be
met by employing better feeding
and management practices and by
filling the present production facil
ities on hand. In no case is a farm
er being asked to increase his cap-
ital outlay by building new struct-
ures or buying new and. On the con-
trary everyone is being discouraged
on making any capital expenditures.
Everv farmer will be contacted
and asked to fill out a production
questionnaire during the next few
weeks in order that the secretary
of agriculture may have the best

possible ligures on the intended tro-
duction for 1942.

Meat Cooking School
Here Monday, Nov. 3
Miss Edaline Stohr, a member of
the cooking school staff of the Na
tional Livestock and Meat board, in
cooperation with the Oregon State
college extension service and the
auxiliary of the Morrow County
Woolgrowers, is scheduled to give
a demonstration of meat cookery
methods, Monday, November 3, at
1:30 p. m. in the Heppner high school
gym.
Homemakers in this vicinity will
find Miss Stohr's lecture and dem
onstration on the correct cookery
methods for meat, of utmost prac-
tical value Her suWect is !eat
in the Home Defense Program," a
place in the American diet, and re
cent discoveries in nutrition show
that it has merited this place for it
is not only a prime source of high
quality protein, and of essential min
erals, notably iron, but it is also a
good source of certain vitamins, es-
pecially the factors of the important
vitamin B.
How to
serve a plentiful supply
of meat in a diet, yet to keep with'
in budget limits is a problem in some
households. With other homemakers,
the problem is to obtain variety in
the meat dishes. To both of these
problems, Miss Stohr brings helpful
suggestions. Among the meat dishes
she will prepare are several calling
for less demanded and therefore ec
onomically priced cuts. She shows
how the right cooking methods can
make these deliciously tender and
juicy.
Miss Stohr's program is actually
a concise and comprehensive course
in meat cookery for she includes
roasting, broiling and braising in her
demonstration. A variety of cuts of
beef, pork, lamb and veal are pre
pared before the audience. Recipes
are to be handed out for all of the
dishes "she "prepares so that the
homemaker can duplicate them in
her own kitchen. The newer meth
ods of cooking meat, which include
roasting without searing and at low
er oven temperature, broiling steaks
and chops with only one turning and
with no sputtering of the oven or
danger of burning, are far easier
than the old ways.
Along with the instruction in
meat cookery, Miss Stohr prepares
vegetables and fruit garnishes and
suggests well-balanced menus to ac
company the meat dishes. She also
includes a fancy dessert on her pro
gram, to suggest the complete meal.
Miss Stohr speaks with authority
on the subject of meat cookery, be
cause of her work with the National
Livestock and Meat board. This or
ganization, which represents all
branches of the meat industry, pro
ducers, packers and retailers, during
the past fifteen years has carried out
an extensive program of research on
the subject of meat cookery and of
nutrition. The information which
Miss Stohr brings is therefore the
most thorough and up to date pos
sible to obtain on the subject.
The program is free and all home
makers are cordially invited to at
tend. MORE BUCKS TAKEN
The last several days has seen 'a
large influx of buck deer carcasses
coming out of the hinterland, with
est ever weighed in locally a 258 Vt
