Capital gains taxes and high
prices lor agricultural land need
ed for housing developments and
industrial um'S have combined to
boost the price of farm acreage n
Douglas County, according to J.
Roland Parker, county agricultuial
agent.
Parker is quoted in a feature
column by Helen Henley in the
Christian Science Monitor for Oct.
9.
! The interview with the Douslas
County Agricultural Agent rccum
merds that people coming from
outside Oregon with the purpose
'of buying farm land make a
I thorough investigation.
Acres Different
I Many of these people, he is quo
ted as saying, tell for high prices
I when land is wanted for major
I development. Then they move to
another locality, expecting that
farming will be the same as in
the locality they are leaving. But
they find the crops they are ac
customed to growing won't grow
in the area to which they are
i moving. Having received a high
price for their land, they are will-
I ing to pay an inflated price for the
land they buy. 'flic local seller,
too, adds to the sales price at
least some of the amount he must
pay to the government in the form
of capital gains.
Incoming technology, said Park'
er, according to the article in the
Christian Science Monitor, is in
evitably pushing toward larger op
erations as a means of decreasing
unit costs and retaining a profit
margin.
Some Being Squeezed
The cost-price squeeze, Parker
is reported to have said, is caus
ing many smaller farmers to be
come part time farmers.
"The Farmer's movement into
industry to earn more money does
nut always mean a complete exo
dus from the farm. Some continue
to live on the homeplace and some
continue a part of their farming
operations," he said in explaining
the part-time farming practice oi
the Umpqua Valley .rea.
i Much of the full-time farming is
done by men too old to find em
ployment in the lumber industry.
But, for the most part, extra in
come is required, forcing farmers
i to find outside employment.
' Discussing the fact that there
are fewer farmers in the area and
(arms are getting bigger, the ar
ticle quotes Parker as saying:
I Times Change
"Back in 1938, we figured a
farmer here with bout 45 acres
in cropland, with a lew cows and
chickens, maybe 150 ewes and 200
300 turkeys, could support and edu
cate his family, pay his taxes and
i a reasonable amount on his in-
I debtedness.
i "Today, a farmer has to have
three times the number of ewes,
milk cows, and crop acres to get
'his family by. And even then, this
family probably won't live as well
as back in 1938.
I "In 1940. wheat was around $2
! a bushel, and you could buy a good
tractor for $1,000 or less. Today
your wheat is still around $2 a

Fallout In U. S. Food
Is No Serious Concern
WASHINGTON (AP) Fallout
from Soviet nuclear tests ha in
troduced radioactive iodine 131
into fresh food supplies in many
areas in the Routheastcrn United
States and probably throughout
the eastern half o' the country,
the Public Health Service an
nounced today.
"However, present fallout does
not warrant undur public concern,
nor initiation of public action de
signed to limit til- intake of radio
active substances," Surgeon Gen
eral Luther L. Terry said.
The service said its announce
ment was based on analysis of
milk in six cities Icw Orleans
J.a.: Atlanta, Co.; Charleston,
SC.; Jackson, Miss.; Tampa,
fla., and St. Louis, .Mo.
The Soviet I'nior resumed nu
clear testing Sept. 1. Since then,
according to President Kennedy'!
disclosure Wednesday at a news
conference, the Soviet Union hai
fired more than 20 nuclear explo
sions into the atmosphere.
Iodine is a source uf potential
concern because physicians say
extensive overdoses might result
in cancer or other injury to the
thyroid.
Three works ago, the top-level
Federal Radiatior Council cut
sharply its recommended maxi
mum safe limit on tho intake of
radioactive iodino 131. The cut
was recommended particularly
for tho protection of children.
L'nder the old standard, a daily
intake of up to approximately
1.300 micro-micmenries was con
sidered acceptable. A micro
luicrocurie is a measure of radio
activity.
l'nder the council's new recom
mcndatioiui. a range beginning as
low as lot) mirro-microcuncs a
day for a year is indicated as a
possible danger point that would
require tho most stringent kinds
of control. The council stressed
the hazard to small children of
concentrations of iodine 131 in
their diets, particularly in milk.
In the period Sept. 20-29. the
health service said, the highest fed
. i. w m
iodine measurements lor eacn oi
the six cities were:
New Orleans, 531 micro-micro-
curies per liter (1 056 quarts) in
milk collected on Sept. 25; Atlan
ta, 320, Sept. 25; Charleston, 270,
Sept. 22; Jackso.', Miss., 400,
Sept. 27; Tampa, 140, Sept. 22,
and St. Louis, 500, Sept. 27.
General Says Fallout
Study Needed In Japan
TOKYO (AP)-MaJ. Hen. Oliver
K. Niess, U.S. Air Force surgeon
general, said Thursday radioac
tive fallout rcrorded in northern
Japan "deserves very, very scrl-1
ous study." I
Asked at a new conference If
ho would be concerned for the
health of men unde his command
who were exposed to such fallout,
Niess replied: "I would have
serious concern u:itil I knew all.
the facts. Of course, I t n always
concerned about th heslih of niyi
people." I
ling. Gen. t liarles Merhouse. 1
surgeon of tho I .S. 5lh Air Force
in Japan, told newsmen ro special
directives have been iucd to
date dealing with protective
measures for li.S servicemen.
Japanese scientists reported
Tuesday that 25.000 counts of ra
dioactivity were recorded per
minute per liter nf rain water on
Hokkaido, Japan's main northern
island.
They said a count of 50 is nor
mal hut 'hat Tuesday's count, the
result of Soviet nuclear tests, was
not considered dangerous. '
GOLF IS OUT
ELMIRA, N. Y. (AIM Jim
Farley, former postmaster gener
al, says he finds golf "a waste
of time." He's been a Yankee base
ball fan since 1904 and also likes
football and boxing.
