I Jackson county farm en did their full part In assisting the United States to meet all food production goals during the war, according to state and federal records. Generally favo r a b 1 e conditions during that period aided, but patriotic devotion to this objective, notwithstanding shortages of equipment, supplies and labor, mainly was respon slble. Now, with production geared to a higher point, the question confronting all farmers Is "What are the Immediate fu ture prospects In the markets?" No one can foresee the future with accuracy. Early examina tion of certain national and reg ional trends may be helpful, however. Undoubtedly the ex tent of Industrial activity and foreign trade factors yet to be developed are basic factors. On the whole, however, current ap pralsal of domestic possibilities Is useful. To examine some of these cur rent trends and outlooks, H. E Conger, chairman of the county agricultural planning committee has appointed the following sub committees to make a study of the situation as far as prac ticable for the benefit of Jack son county farmers. Farm and rural life, farm crops, hortlcul ture, livestock, dairy, small farms, land use and poultry. These committees will report at a general farmers meeting to be held on February S, at the USO In Medford. All farmers and their wives are Invited to attend this meeting which begins at 10 a. m. Complete discussion of the recommendations of these committees will be expected. Egg Prices End Year On Firm Level Egg markets of the nation ended the year 1045 In firm posi tion, although prices were de clining owing to OPA price ceil ings rather than to any basic market situation, according to the weekly egg and poultry re view prepared by the OSC ex tension service from USDA mar ket reports and other data. Pro duction was Increasing In all major producing areas but was not yet sufficient for the cur rent demand. Storage stocks of shell eggs were almost completely exhaust ed and supplies of frozen eggs were well below either of the past two years but still slightly above average. Although egg markets throughout the United' States are currently In very firm position due to Inadequate supplies, pre parations are being made for the time later In the season when markets are expected to weaken under the pressure of heavy production. The poultry market at Port land started the new year In a rather dull position as offerings were liberal and demand slow. Competition from midwest of ferings was reported. Supplies In excess of current market de mand were packed for freezing. During the closing days of 1B45, the USDA announced Its gg support program for 1946. It provides for support of egg prices at a U. S. average farm price of 29 cents a dozen dur ing the flush production season next spring. Support will be ac complished through government purchases of dried, frozen, and graded shell eggs. Purchases by the government under the price support program will begin as soon as heavy supplies threaten to force producer prices below the level which reflects BO per cent of parity the minimum support level required under the Steagall amendment. Based upon the present level of parity this means a U. S. average farm price for all grades and sizes of edible eggs of about 20 cents a dozen during the spring flush. R. G. Fowler, I County Agent January 15. This demonstration Is designed to give mothers ideas on making hard to get children's clothing from materials that are on hand.

What To Look For In Electric Irons Miss Lois Lutz, home man agement specialist of Oregon State College Extension service lists the following eight points to consider when buying a new electric Iron. 1. Fabric dial on an auto matic Iron easy to read and capable of being adjusted to the heat requirements of different fabrics. 2. Handle well Insulated to Insure coolness and shaped to fit the users hand. S. Weight light as Is consist ent with the type and its use. Automatic Irons are lighter than non-automatic. 4. Cord durable and well In sulated with some protection at the point of attachment. Best if It bears the Underwriters label. 5. Heel stand or other device for resting Iron without lifting to stand. 8. Sole plate or ironing sur face smooth and rust resistant. 7. Edges beveled or with nooks to make Ironing around buttons easy. 8. Point well shaped for Iron ing into gathers. Miss Lutz points out that Irons are returning to the shelves of retail stores very slowly, but by the end of 1048 an adequate sup ply Is expected. Marian J.
