The ac. omplishments and breks of the 1948 piogram discussed. It was foun a . Last years recommen a were for an increase m per ent pasture, pioperly er i rze and seeded. Report shows that 300 acres of permanen pasture was established in over 200 acres winter crops put out in 1948. ent hay crops, such as alfal increased in 1948 from 60 to acres to almost 200 acres.

Goal last mas a, milk cow for each family. Less than 40% of families have milk cows. Program planning 1948 recommended cover crops. Results show cover crop acreage had materially in 1948. The r n w seems to.be for venture acreage and grazing acreage. Home Improvement showed marked increase. During year eleven families have or remodeled their homes, have improved their rooms and 25 provided ’aundry facilities,-fifteen -cater heaters installed, homes painted on the inside ir 0 floors finished. Fifteen bathrooms had ^"ovided and equipped, houses screened and ci nk; installed with d r ainage.

Da.de County Coimty and state road3 are a major limiting factor in the de- yelcpmsnt of an active and pro- ^ TCjJS j ve agricultural pregram in ^ cQunty Conditions of roads rn such that economical trans- ,. or t a tion of farm products to rraHr ^ bmRed p n i’s are a basis for develop- a f arm and home program, ^ Co unty soils have been depleted by ccn hnuous row crops without ^ sufficient attention being given i to roil improvement practices. Largfi 0X , reage are being planted to row crops which are better adap t ed t, 0 p as £ ure or forestry. With improved soils it is nat- ura j tQ expec ^ i mproV ed homes and be tter living for farm people, I p a rm homes are in need of re- ^ and ^ Jg a t need for modernization in interior and exterior. Family diets are fairly well balanced by production and preservation of vegetables. However, there are only apprexi- mately 30% of the farm families which have a milk cow to pro¬ duce milk for the family. 40% cf the families do not keep chickens for egg and meat duction. Use of beef is increas- ing but there is a great need for more beef in the diet. The meat requirement is being supple- mented by the use of pork on 70% of the farms. Family diets even though meeting require- ments as to quantities and var- ieties of food, are short nutri- tionally due to improper cooking. Less than 50% of the families have sanitary privies, family health is in need of at¬ tention in practically all with emphasis being placed on dental work and preventive sures among children to pro- tect them 'from diseases. Following soil improvement, livestock production can be em¬ phasized to utilize increased pro- ductioncan of crops. An evident need is that of having more reg- istered beef bulls. Beef cattle number does not need to be in¬ creased materially. There is great need on majority of the farms for additional enterprise and due to the small acreage, poultry or hogs will sup¬ ply this need with better ad¬ vantage to the farm operator. The one small dairy in ^ounty is failing to supply even a small per cent of the local demand for milk. There is a need for five or six additional dairies. In order to carry on the county program of work, there is great need for unity among the people. To encourage unity among groups the first step pro- '..ably needing emphasis is re creational programs for both ; aiult r>nd youth groups. As the People learn to play together they will learn to work together. With production of crops for market increasing, facilities are not sufficient to take care of the needs. Planned production among farmers rr ons for market and planned cooperative marketing efforts " re needed. | " i°ht, January 12.
