Jackson County Farm Notes
Compiled by County Office O.S.C. Extension Service
Neighborhood To Bo
Units of Information
Preliminary work has already
been done in Jackson county
toward setting up the neighbor
hood leader plan in every com
munity. This is a war time em
ergency step in maintaining con
tact with every farm and rural
family. A meeting was held last
Monday at which chairmen of
the subcommittees of the
county planning group 'zoned
the county into fourteen districts
and a woman and a man were
tentatively appointed to head
the organization in these dis
tricts. Within the district far
mers will be organized ' into
groups of from ten to twenty
with a leader. The idea being
to meet in small groups with
the least expense in gasoline
and tires and discuss matters in
connection with the war emer
gency; the information to be
provided by the extension service.
This neighborhood plan has
been worked successfully in
some states and will be espe
cially important at the present
time, as a form of contact is
necessary to keep the people In
the rural districts informed. The
history of the first war shows
that the agricultural industry
was the worst sufferer from the
war-time price boom which was
followed by an agricultural col
lapse from which the industry
is only just now recovering.
With this plan of close coor
dination of farms it is felt that
the information received will be
to large extent responsible for
conditions following the present
war. The community neighbor
hood organizations will be af
fected throughout the county
within the next two or three
weeks.
A.A.A. Compliance Check
Made At Office
In the past, a crew- of men
has been employed by the agri
cultural conservation office to
visit farms and check compli
ance with the farm program be
fore payments were made. This
plan has been changed for the
present year with the idea of
conserving rubber and man
power needed in agriculture
The farmers will be called to
the office at which time their
compliance blanks will be made
out and signed. As the 1942
year ends September 1, for the
. first time this year, it will be
necessary for farmers to come
to the office . to fill out these
blanks prior to that time.
xnis year compliance vnetn
Is more than a statistical gather
ing of information in the farm
program, it amounts to an In
ventory of the county's capacity
for production of the foods
needed to win the war. The co
operation of farmers in giving
this information promptly will
be a contribution to the war ef
fort and will expedite benefit
payments this year.
By R. G. Fowler,
County Agent.
Cherry Certification
Needed In Shipping
In order to ship cherries into
the states of California and
Montana, it Is necessary that
each shipment be accompanied
by a certificate stating the
cherries were grown in Jackson
county.
These two states require this
certificate in order to protect
themselves against importing the
cherry fruit fly, however, as
Jackson county is free from
this pest any cherries grown
here can be certified for shipment.
Any one wishing to take cher
ries grown, in this county into
California by auto can obtain a
certificate at this office. If they
wish to ship the cherries by ex
press they may obtain a certi
ficate at the express office.
Other fruits require no certifica
tion and cherries going to states
other than Montana or Califor
nia may be shipped without re
striction. By C. B. Cordy,
Assistant County Agent.
Preserving By Freesing
Easy Procedure
Strawberries are right at the
hpieht of the season for freez
ing. It is imnortant that straw
berries be at the right degree of
maturity for freezing, airawoer
ries that come late in the sea
usually most satisfactory
for freezing, because they are
smaller, sweeter ana iirmer
than earlier berries.
Arrnrdina to research on
freezing of foods done at Oregon
State college the variety 01
ctrauihorries is very important.
Those found satisfactory are
New Oregon, Corvaius, Mar
shall, Clark Seedling and Red

locker.
Select firm, mature fruit for
freezing whether it be berries or
peaches. One good rule to re
mom hpr U that fruit should be
in the locker four hours after
picking If possible.
wash fruit thoroughly and
pack in containers. With berries
either dry sugar or sugar syrup
may be used. Many prefer the
dry pack, however. The war ra
tion of sugar, 1. e. W cup to one
quart, is adequate for frozen
foods. Those who wish a sweet
er product may use corn syrup
or honey. Honey gives a distinct
flavor to the fruit and may be
substituted for half sugar with
excellent results. Corn syrup
may be substituted for one third
of the sugar. It is well to re
member however, that corn
syrup is only one half as sweet
as sugar, whereas honey has the
same sweetening power.
The containers used for pack
ing frozen foods are varied. The
waxed paper containers are in
expensive and may be used two
or three times if wasnea n
cold water so as not to melt
the wax. Glass jars that are not
suited for canning may be used
in freezing as an absolute air
tight package is not required.
However, it is a good plan to
use rubbers on glass jars to
make a tight seal.
One precaution when using
glass, do not screw the lid down
tightly until food is frozen, and
allow room for expansion of
food on freezing. This latter is
true of all containers if a syrup
or wet pack is used at least one
inch must be left free at the
top for expansion.
Frozen foods are nearly as
rich in vitamins and minerals
as the fresh product depending
upon the length of time required
from picking to freezing. No
other method of food preserva
tion retains the original flavor,
color and shape of the food as
well as freezing. Many people
do not realize the value of their
lockers for foods other than
meat. For further information
freezing of all fruits, vegetables,
eggs, etc., write or call the of
fice of the Home Demonstration
Agent, courthouse, Medford, for

servation by Freezing". You
