Extension Serito County Farm Planning Conference Committees working on vari ous phases of agriculture have about completed their work and will be ready to report to the general meeting to be held at the USO, Medford, February 5, at 10 a. m. These committees are made up of farm men and women from practically every section oi the county and consist of farm crops, horticulture, livestock, dairying, poultry, land use and farm home and rural life. They have been seeking the answers to the ques tion of what Jackson county farms can produce and market to the best advantage during the peacetime years ahead. All farmers and their wives are Invited to attend this meet ing on February 5, and join in the discussion of the committee reports. Milk Situation Against Butter Increased demand for fluid milk and cream added to a price structure that favors marketing these rather than cream for man ufacturing purposes, are factors chiefly responsible for acute market shortages of butter and cheese despite record production of milk on farms. The high purchasing power of the public, together with the re turn of large numbers of service men, have brought a sharp in crease in demand for dairy prod ucts, especially fluid milk and cream. All restrictions were re moved on the consumption of fluid milk and cream some months ago. In a special study of 66 repre sentative cities of the United States, the Production and Mar keting administration found that sales of fluid milk in September were eight per cent larger than In September 1044, while sales of cream were 53 per cent larger. Child's Colds rsr wicks Time Tustwt " Va rr-r..- This increase in consumption of fluid milk and cream was most pronounced in the extreme east ern portion of the V. S. This has resulted in a widening of the trade areas and an increasing proportion of the midwest milk moving toward the east for fresh consumption. Current reports indicate that the trend has been accelerated since September. As pointed .out in a recent weekly review, prices paid for butterfat are much higher in the fluid milk and cream trade than when the butterfat is ocessed into butter or cheese. Naturally that tends to discourage produc tion of butter and cheese if mar kets for the other products are at hand. Output of milk on farms in the U. S. in 1945 is expected to set a new high record of about 123, 000,000,000 pounds, three per cent above last year and 19 per cent above prewar average. Turkey Goals Lower For Next Year Speaking of the situation for next year, here is warning of possible danger to Oregon tur key growers issued by Noel Ben nion, extension poultry specialist at Oregon State college. Bennion calls attention to the fact that the U. S. Department of Agriculture has lowered its tur key goals for next year at the same time that Oregon breeders are holding over an extra num ber of laying hens. The U.S.D.A. national goal for 1946 calls for a 19 per cent reduction in the number of turkeys raised next year compared with 1945. Inasmuch as Oregon is one of the leading turkey producing states in the entire nation, the action of growers here will have considerable effect on national production. Bennion believes that if they carry out the present indicated heavy carry-over of breeding stock, they may find themselves in a glutted market next season. Best estimates place the carry over of breeder hens at approxi mately 20 per cent increase over last year. Reports from Califor nia indicate a similar trend there. This estimate for Oregon is not just a wild guess but is based on actual figures of the MOOSE LEGION will hold a meeting Sunday. January 27 2 p.m. at TALENT CITY HALL number of turkey breeder tftst have already been tested at the! poultry disease laboratory at the college. Another indication is the num ber of reservations that are still on the books for such testing. For awhile it looked like Oregon breeders were going to scale down the number hld ever as compared with earlier indica tions, but the figures at the col lege laboratory do not bear this out. Sub-clover Bulletin Now Off Press f The first printed bulletin on subterranean clover now more conveniently called sub-clover to be issued by the O.S.C. experi ment station Is off the press. Written by H. H. Rampton, asso ciate federal agronomist station ed at Corvallis, the bulletin gives some of the history of this promising forage legume and cultural suggestions for its use in Oregon, Rampton explains that sub clover is adapted to climates hav ing relatively warm, moist win ters and dry summers, hence in Oregon it is adapted to the part of the state west of the Cascades. Well established subelover seed lings can survive temperatures as low as 10 degrees below zero, however, Rampton states. This clover is naturally suited for growth in combination with grasses which give winter pro tection to the seedlings. This clover in turn stimulates the growth of the grass because of its soil improving qualities. Subelover is a native of the mediterranean region but its for age value was first recognized in Australia from where it was in troduced into the United States. The first planting in Oregon was made In 1922 on the experiment station by H. A. Schoth, federal agronomist, with seed furnished by the USDA bureai' of plan in dustry. Not until 1937 did the plant attract wide attention when better adapted strains revealed superior possibilities. The plant is proving of particular value on lands that are too dry or too low in fertility for white clover. Sub clover, an annual that persists like a perennial, gets its name from the fact that it buries de veloping seed heads in the soil or puts them directly on top of the ground underneath the vege tative mat. R. G.FOWLER, County Agent, Clothing Projects Revised By 4-H The first clothing project has been recently revised so that the 1A and IB projects are now in separate bulletins and much of repetition formerly present in the two projects is now eliminat ed. The new Clothing 1A Bulletin is very similar to the former project and calls for the making of a needle case, a project in weaving, a pincushion, and a luncheon cloth. These are ail handmade and the project book is entitled, "Handwork, a Be ginning Course in Clothing. The Clothing IB project book is entitled the "Just So Girl" and J omewfief a4vfie4 over the handwork project. The articles made in this project are a coin purse, a dresser scarf, a cro cheted hot dish holder, a knit wash cloth and a laundry bag. This new project gives the girl instruction in crocheting and knitting and an introduction to the sewing machine. The clothing projects two, three, four and five remain un changed. I The County Club agent will be glad to talk with anyone wishing more information about these or anv 4H club projects. EARLE JOSSY, County Club Agent.
