Farmers Ready . . .
Continued from First Pae
livestock but an increase in all
livestock is needed and most far
mers in the country are increasing
their livestock numbers.
A summary of the recent war
production sign up of all farms
shows an increase from 12000 to
17,000 cattle of all kinds in Morrow
county. If farmers in the county
find it possible to carry out their
plans for 1943 there will be an
increase in the number of sows
to farrow from 1086 to 1598.
Sheep is the one kind of live
stock in which there will be no in
crease. The farm summary shows
a slight decrease for 1943 in all
kinds of sheep to be raised.
On all farms where war crop
goals are established it is neces
sary that 90 percent of these goals
be grown in order for the farmer
to qualify for wheat payments or
wheat loans. If 90 percent or more
of the war goals is met there is
no limit on the amount of wheat
that may be grown on such farms.
There are a few farms where it
is not practical to establish war
crop goala On such farms if the
wheat allotment is exceeded it is
necessary that at least 10 percent
of the crop land be devoted to
some other crop such as barley or
oats to insure eligibility for wheat
loans. ,

Dura Families
Produce Home
A call to all rural families to pro
duce as much of the home food
supply as possible is being made
to Oregon rural families through
the Extension service and rural
neighborhood leaders, according to
C. D. Conrad, county agent.
Wartime inducement to raise and
preserve the family food supply
will bring better results if a few
practical plans are made ahead of
time, Conrad adds.
Tomatoes are one of the most
essential foods to raise where they
can be grown. Five to eight dozen
plants will usually raise enough for
the family of five for eating fresh
and canning. Tomatoes are rich in
vitamin C and where they cannot
be raised, extra amounts of cabbage,
raw salad greens, broccoli, straw
berries and melons should be plant
ed. Cabbage is especially valuable,
not only for food nutrients, but can
be preserved for most of the winter
by simple storage methods. Cabbage
maintains its food value well with
proper storage. Another "top" veg
etable for food value and storing is
carrots. The sufficient amount to
grow is 50 f(et of early and 100
feet of late carrots for a family of
five. Other green and yellow vege
tables that deserve emphasis in a
garden are green beans, peas ,beet
tops, mustard and turnip tops, leaf
lettuce, yellow squash and yellow
corn.
The budget for adequate nutri
tion for the family of five includes
Rural Homemaker
Told of Part in
Bringing Victory
Every rural homemaker whether
on a 10,000-acre ranch or on the
most remote mountain farm is be
ing told that she has a vital part in
helping bring victory, first of all
by helping see the farm feeds her
family.
Neighborhood leaders, trained by
the O. S. C. extension service, are,
during March, contacting every ru
ral home to talk over the serious
food situation and helping plan
the production and conservation of
an adequate family food supply.
The contact with the rural homema
ker on these visits will be part of
a nation-wide mobilization of farm
women from March 1 to 20 in the
food -f or-freedom campaign.

Food Supplies
280 pints of frozen or canned vege
tables and 400 pounds of stored
vegetables in the same groups.
Other vegetables, such as onions,
rutabagas and beets, a balanced
plan includes storing 560 pounds.
In addition, 800 pounds of potatoes,
75 pounds of dry peas and beans
for a family of five are suggested.
One of the most essential foods
for any family is milk and where
possible, the keeping of one or two
cows is advised for each family.
Eggs are another essential food
and can be used in many ways to
replace meat when meat rationing
starts. The food1 production plan
a family of five calls for setting 125
epgs or buying 75 chicks. From
these, 25 laying pullets should be
kept throughout the winter and the
rest of the chickens used for meat
Where it is possible for a family
to produce and slaughter their own
meat, the average family of five
people should plan on butchering
one beef, two hogs, and one lamb.
Where these animals cannot be
produced, the home produced meat
supply may include more poultry
and also rabbits.
Conrad states that maximum pro
duction of home food needs for the
1100 rural families in Morrow coun
ty will release considerable com
mercial stocks for other war needs,
as well as easing transportation
problems and insuring families of
an adequate diet'

troubled world.
