Early attempts at feeding himself result in spills. He will be messy while he learns the skills of eating. As he practices and becomes more skillful, he will advance out of the untidy stage into acceptable ways of eating. Food the1 child eats can help him be healthy, happy, growing, alert. Heredity may set the limits of the child's potential, but the food he eats is a most important factor in determining whether or not he achieves his maximum for growth and development.

Good nutrition starts a child on the road to achievement and happiness. What does a child need? The same nutrients as the adult and infant but less than an adult and more than an infant. These nutrients carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins and minerals-are found in everyday foods. To insure a suitable supply of nutrients, it is helpful to select foods from the "Basic Four," Miss Tribble says. These are groups of foods roughly the equivalent of each other in terms of the nutrients they "How old can egg be and still be fresh?" There's no precise answer to this question, says Velva Seat, food marketing specialist Oregon State University Extension Service.

Much depends on the conditions under which the egg has been kept, The greatest single enemy of egg quality or freshness is heat. Repeated tests have demonstrated the rapid deterioration of neglected eggs those left at room temperature or in' the heat of the kitchen. In a few days, the interior quality of neglected eggs deteriorates more than eggs protected for 30 days in the refrigerator. LOOK AT "LEAN" PER POUND IN FIGURING MEAT COST When buying meat for the family, look at the cost per serving of lean meat rather than the cost per cut, advises Mane food and nutrition specialist at Oregon State University. Some cuts contain lots of waste bone, gristle, and fat.

Even though the price per cut or pound on Urese looks low, the cost of edible meat may be quite high, Miss Tribble points out. Compare ground beef and beef shortribs, the OSU specialist suggests. They may cost the ki HOW TO APPLY FOR A CLERICAL JOB was explained to a group of boys and girls at the recent "Securing that Summer Job" conference, held at the Linn County Fairgrounds under Extension Service sponsorship.

Sixth grade school forestry tour dates set The Eleventh Annual Linn County Sixth Grade School Forestry Tour will be held at the J. J. Bowley farm on Courtney Creek near Brownsville' on May 8, 9 and 10 as a result of a decision made recently by the sponsors, the Linn County Small Woodlands Asociation and Extension Service. Last year's tour attracted 1325 students. High Producers need more energy Seventy-five percent of the increased production in the rast 15 years by dairy cows is due to more and better quality feeds.

The remaining 25 percent is due to improved genetics. Providing enough energy to high producing cows is "probably the number one feed problem on most dairy farms. Grains such as corn, barley and milo are the major sources of high energy. When legume hay or silage makes up most of the roughage and is fed free choice, there is seldom lack of protein. When corn silage is fed, more attention must be given to protein supply.

In formulating rations one must keep in mind not only body maintenance and milk production but additional feed to grow out the young cow. The cow in calf needs extra feed, particularly during the last four months of gestation. A common error is to over-feed the low producer and underfeed the high producer. Trial may be the best way to find out where to stop on grain feeding. When response in milk production does not pay for the added grain, back off grain feeding until it does pay some net.

New Bu'sh Bean Promises Competition for Blue Lake Assessment Law Changes Explained to Farm Group The workings of the laws were explained by Marion Thomas, OSU extension economist, while the assessors problems were brought out by Benton County Assessor Lloyd Anderson. Since there isn't any properly zoned farm land in this area, it is necessary to go to the assessor's office and file an application before April 1, Anderson said. To qualify, the land must have been used exclusively as a bona fide farm for the two years preceding and currently be in such use, he added. One measure of farm use can be gross income of $300 for each of three of the last five years. If there is doubt as to whether one's land will qualify one can file an application and the assessor will consider one's individual case.

Application must be made every year. If one fails to continue to qualify or fail to apply. The deferred taxes for the five past years plus 6 percent interest will be added to the next year's taxes. If an owner of un zoned farm land does not file for special assessment, it will be assessed at the current market value for highest and best use. The net income (after property taxes) from the land based upon typical rents in the area will be determined.

This will be divided by the capitalization rate to determine the farm use value. per pound but the ground 4-H Clothing Club To Go On Albany Shopping Tour A shopping tour is planned for the next meeting of the Stitch-in-Time 4-H Sewing Club.

Each member was given a. piece of paper with a design on it. The designs will be sewn on the sewing machine without any thread in it. In this way, the needle of the machine will make holes on the paper, and the girls can tell if they are sewing a straight line. A Phase 1 crossword puzzle was given to each girl to complete by the next meeting.

The puzzle contained questions about the parts of the sewing machine. The meetings was held Jan. 9 at Beth Vandehey's house. Roxane faisey, reporter. Some examples are: In 1957 it was said that Benton county employed a half time county health officer, a full time sanitarian, and two full time nurses.

In all possibility some time within the next 10 years, the county will have to consider hiring a full time officer, additional nurses and sanitarians, assuming the population of the area increases as anticipated. In 1924 there was much concern about whether the local cannery could continue its operation, for economic reasons. The conference made a study of the situation and made suggestions concerning financing and developing adequate supplies of quality materials. The cannery became a success. Seattle Artist Likes Scenery SEATTLE (AP) Jim Peck, Seattle artist, says he tries to to stay a jump ahead of "progress" by painting scenery which is endangered by logging operations, highway construction or dam building.

"I used to enjoy painting in California until it got all loused up, said Peck, who teaches at an art school and is a movie illustrator for an aircraft company. "The Pacific Northwest is the last refuge for guys like me. Peck, who will show his oils and water colors next month in Seattle, says, "Basically, I am a mountain painter. Taik about statuary.

Many crosses already have been made with other varieties." winter, seed growers in New Zealand are increasing the presently small seed supply, and it is hoped that enough seed will be available next spring for initial trial plantings by processors. Much of the OSU 58's promise lies in its improved growth habit. "The variety," Frazier explains, "is considerably better in this vital area than the earlier-released varieties OSU 949 and 2065.

The 58 also appears less sensitive to high temperatures and changes in day length." As for processing quality, OSU food scientist George Varseveld says, "Canned 58 pods have a 'taste' character which closely approximates the Blue Lake pole bean pod. In panel tests, processed 58 beans have been Santiam Livestock Club Outlines Year's Activities Skills in Job Finding Told Techniques of job finding were learned by 100 boys and girls at a recent "Securing That Summer Job Conference" held at the Linn County Fairgrounds. The purpose of the conference was to help Linn County youth prepare for a summer job as well as giving them some ideas as to the types of jobs that are available to youth in the summer. Doug Treiber, Manager, Albany Employment Service, discussed work permits, job applications, and job finding procedures with the boys and girls. Roy Collins, Albany, and Jack Buchanan, Manager of the First National Bank of Lebanon, led the group in discussions on job interviews following the viewing of two films on job interviews.

Members of the Albany and Lebanon employment services set up booths ana were available to visit with the youth on various summer job possibilities. Those participating from the employment service were: Dick Hake, Employment Counselor, who discussed manufacturing; Dave Fleming, Placement Specialist, discussed construction; Leroy MacDuffer, Farm Labor Representative, discussed agriculture and forestry; Malcolm Campbell, Employment Counselor, told about clerical jobs; and Lor-en Mussler, Employment Counselor, was in charge of service occupations.

The conference was planned by a youth steering committee made up of the following people: June Davis, Janis Kato, Debra Meyers, Gail Harrison, Shara Hobbs and Jo Lundberg of Albany; Ron Wilkinson and Vickie Wolfenbar-ger of Lebanon. The committee was assisted by Dick Hake, Lebanon Employment Service, and Nellie Van Calcar, Linn County Extension Service.

Annual ASCS Under Way at CORVALLIS The future for small farmers and rural communities will be among the topics up for discussion at the annual Oregon Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service Conference tonight, Tuesday and Wednesday in Gearhart. Basic purpose of the meeting, according to Arnold Bodtker, executive director of the ASC state committee, is to give the more than 100 county committeemen a chance to review farm programs they are responsible for administrating. These include agricultural conservation, wheat stabilization, feed grain, sugar beet, wool incentive, commodity loans and price support, farm storage facility, and cropland adjustment programs. In addition to thi committeemen, county office 'managers and representatives of most other USDA agencies and other organizations connected with agriculture will be on hand.

16 to inform landowners about requirements of new farm land assessment laws passed in the last legislature. Benton County Representative Loren Smith discussed why the laws were necessary. He said, "It was not our intention to make a fence that speculators could crawl under the hold land." The purpose of the law is to enable farmers to stay in business despite rising taxes, he said. Time Left To Organize There is still time to organize 4-H clubs in the livestock, knitting, sewing, foods, woodworking, photography, tractor, forestry and geology projects. Club work is for boys and girls 9 to 19 years of age.

A 4-H club holds at least eight meetings per year with the meetings usually lasting about one a half hours. Most meetings are held in the members' homes immediately after school. All materials are provided by the County Extension Office.

All 4-H members planning to exhibit clothing, foods, crafts, woodworking, knitting or electricity at the 1968 Spring 4-H -FFA Fair in May must be enrolled by February 1, 1968, according to Nellie Van Calcar, Linn County 4-H Agent.

Sickels said the meeting was called for the purpose of ranging an outline oi visitation among the granges of the county. The program will be similar to the former visitation program but the granges will not be judged on proper meeting procedure. However he urged all to do their best anyway in this re spect. The visiting grange will pre- sent the program. A small prize will be presented to the grange having the most officers and its three committeemen (legislature, agriculture and home ec) present at both meetings when they visit and when they host a visiting grange.

is one of the most expensive foods in terms of protein value. "For the highest return for your meat dollar, you can't beat liver," says Miss Tribble. Whe- beef, pork or lamb, liver is all lean, all edible and usually the price per pound is low. You receive high nutritive returns for your money. Liver is not only a good protein food, but rates high in iron, vitamin A and some of the vitamins.

In buying meats, Miss Tribble says, count of four servings from each pound of boneless meat. This includes liver and other variety meats as well as such "solid meats as rolled roast, tenderloins, ground meats and boneless steak. Meats containing a small a-mount of bone will furnish two to three servings per pound. They include chuck roast, steaks, rib roasts, pork loin and similar cuts. Meat with lots of bone, such as spareribs or short ribs, yields only one or two servings per pound.

FOOD FOR YOUR PRESCHOOL CHILD The impor tant job of feeding a preschooler can be fun for both parents and children, according to Marie Tribble, Extension food and nutrition specialist at Oregon University. Itjeedn't be a battle of "wills and won'ts." Understand the principles of growth and development, Miss Tribble advises. You can expect your child to: 1. Be himself. Each child is unique although he follows the same general pattern as other children; he will have different preferences, acquire eating skills at an earlier or later age, consume larger or smaller a-mounts of food, accept and like foods another youngster rejects.

Don't expect him to be a copy of an older brother or sister or a neighbor's child. 2. Become increasingly independent. He will want to pour his milk, serve himself, butter his bread or toast. Let him be tolerant of his awkwardness.

3. Vary from day to day. Some days your child will eat more Installation Held By Riverside Club RIVERSIDE-Installation of new Riverside Horsemasters 4-H saddle club took place Jan. 15 at the home of Mrs. Jim Drake.

CORVALLIS Citizens groups in Benton county will undertake a long range planning program in early 1968 to study ana make recommendations concerning the development and progress of various general aspects of the county.

Don Hector, Benton county farm and home planning chairman, says local committees will study the present situations and make recommendations in five major areas: human resources, community development and public affairs, natural resources, industrial development, and agriculture. Committee statements and recommendations will be compiled into a printed report and made available to citizens, agencies, and business firms. Between 150 and 175 people may be involved on committees, according to Hector. Committee membership will be drawn from all over Benton county. This long range planning council is sponsored in Benton county by the Benton County Planning Council and the Oregon State University Cooperative Extension Service.

This will be the fifth planning conference in the county since 1924. In addition, there were three special subject interim planning programs. Recommendations have helped guide various agencies, private individuals, and public groups over this period of time. Early conferences were concerned mainly with ag production, marketing, and rural family living. The 1968 conference plans to cover more phases of county acitivity.

The project does not duplicate other county planning but instead helps to establish more widespread understanding of objectives. Studies and recommendations of other planning groups are to be made a part of this program. The planning process in making recommendations identifies the problem or points out what needs to be done and tries to avoid how it should be done. The latter is left up to other groups for action.
