JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES
Compiled by County Office 0. S. C. Extension Service
Firm Planning
Conference Feb. 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.

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.

ROASTINO
The trick In pot-roasting is to brown
the meat first on both sides, rather
slowly, in a little melted suet or
shortening if the ment hasn't much
fat. Then season with salt and pepper
and add a bit of carrot, onion, par
sley or celery for flavor and then add
about a cup of liquid water, soup
stock, vegetable juices, milk, sweet
or sour cream or diluted vinegar.
Cover tightly and cook ivrv slowly
until the meat is so tender you enn
almost, cut it with a fork." Add a
little more liquid from time to time
if the meat begins to cook drv. Allow
30 to 40 minutes per pound when
cooked on top of the stove, or about
45 minutes per pound in a moderate J
l oven (JWr.)
