SIX MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday. Feb. 7, 194S JACKSON COUNTY FARM NOTES Compiled by County Office 0. S. C Extension Service Food Sblpmtnt Overseas Heavy The U. S. Department ol Agri culture recently reported the de liveries during November government-owned food tor for- eien ahlDment. The total was nearly 287 million pounds 143, 500 tons. The largest Item was grain about 60 per cent. Dairy products rated second at IS per cent, meats third at 10 per cent, sugar S per cent, fruits and vege tables 2 per cent, poultry 1 per cent, fats and oils 1 per cent, and special commodities i per cent. Tobacco about 64,000 pounds ac counted for less than 1 per cent of the overseas food shipments, About three-fifths of the for eign shipment was divided among the United Kingdom and British Service overseas. Less than 10 per cent was for Russia and the balance nearly one third was divided among for eign claimants. These Included Metropolitan France, French West Africa, French North Afri ca, French Colonial Supply Mis- s i o n, Czechoslovakia, Italy, Netherlands. Belgium Nether lands Asiatic Colonies, Norway, Sweden, British Colony Supply Mission, British Dominions and Colonies, Iceland Purchasing Commission, and the Philippines, Comiervatlon Aidod By AAA Payments Oregon farmers are apparent ly doing more and more conser vation work under the stimulus of financial aid from the AAA practice payments. The state committee has just completed the annual summary of work done under the 194S agricultur al conservation practice pro gram. This report shows that toil and water conservation work costing more than 6V4 million dollars was performed by Ore- con farmers and ranchers last year under the program. Of this amount the AAA prac tice payments will care for $2, 600,000. Under ordinary condi tions the AAA payments would handle about 00 per cent of the total work done. The amount of such funds for each county la - limited, however, hence the per centage Is governed by the total amount of work done. The new Oregon agricultural conserva tion program for 1D46 contains 36 practices from which county I committees may choose. Six new practices have been added this year while seven In the program last year have been dropped, Northwest Faces -May Shortages There were no reported short ages of hay In the northwest dur ing the first week In February according to the weekly hay market review prepared by the OSC extension service from USDA market reports and other data. In California however market supplies were far below trade needs. Prices throughout the Pacific Coast area were at celling levels. At Portland No. 2 or better al falfa was quoted at $32 to $34 a ton wholesale. Producers in the Willamette Valley were still asking around $24 a ton to the farm for oat and vetch mixed hay. Growers in the Yakima valley were being offered $18 to $18 ton In the stack for alfalfa comparable to the U, S. No. 2 green. Receipts for the week at Port land totaled 10 cars, all from eastern Oregon producing areas. The continued adequate hay supply situation In the North west reflects the large crop of 1B4S and moderate usage to date. Production In Oregon and Washington in 1045 was slightly above the large crop of 1S44 and well above average. The Idaho crop, however, fell below that of 1944 and below average. The combined production of the three states was 6,249,000 tons, only 2 per cent above 1044 but 8 per cent above average. The 194S hay crop of the Unit ed Slates was one of the largest crops on record. It totaled near ly 105,000,000 tons, 7 per cent above 1944 and 20 per cent above the 1934-1943 average. Movement of hay In the east, however, has been difficult be cause of the car shortage and tome arras report very short market supplies. R. G. FOWLER, County Agent. Valentine Day Festive Occasion Valentine Day Is always a party occasion for young and old alike. If you are planning such festivities for Grange, church or other large group, the extension mimeograph on Valentine pro gram suggestions will be help ful. It Includes several recita tions and a short skit. There are two other mimeographs of party ideas, including Invitations, games and refreshments suitabl for your Valentine party. These are Valentine party suggestions and February parties. Any of these mimeographs are available at the Obi; extension office in the courthouse. If, after your Valentine party or birthday party, you find can dle wax on the tablecloth, call on a dull knife, a warm Iron and cleansing tissues to help remove it. First, scrape off as much of the hard wax as possible with a dull knife. Then place the stain between cleansing tissues or pa per towels, and press with warm iron, changing the paper as it becomes soiled. Finally, sponge with a grease solvent. color still remains, sponge with liquid made up of half as much de-natured alcohol as water. If the wax is dropped on the rug, the procedure for removing it is Just the same. Scrape off the excess, then sponge with carbon tetrachloride or some other solvent. If color still shows, use the water and alco hol solution. Allow For Growth In Making Clothes When you sew for your little girl allow for her to growl Before you cut the garment plan ways to lengthen it later. Here arc some hints from your home demonstration agent. First pick a style that al lows for growth In the chest and shoulders. Then allow a 5-inch hem In the dress. This will give it wearability even though small daughter shoots up In height al most as fast as Jack's beanstock. Cut her slips 2 or 3 Inches longer than she'll need for a fit when they're new. Then with long, loose machine stitches, sew an Inside tuck Just above the bot tom ruffle. Cut panties a couple of Inches longer than she will need for a good fit between the waistline nd the crotch. Then take up this excess with an Inside tuck. Be sure you put the tuck where it doesn't make the garment too bulky. It isn t so easy to allow for growth In boys' clothing as It in girls . But you can make the straps on little brother's overalls adjustable. One way Is place two or three button holeslengthwise at the end of the straps. Another way Is to work the buttonhole In the bib of the overall and leave room to move the buttons to the end of the strap as brother adds inches and you need to make the over alls longer. - MARIAN J.
