THE LA GRANDE EVENING OBSERVER, LA GRANDE, OREGON Monday, October,.!. 1945 ' . Page Fern1 Section 0 plow Many Jobs From if uilding of Homes? Talk of a million homes n year, (five billion dollars in lemodcling md maintenance, or ten billion Slollars needed to repair and re ilacc our farm plants is almost p neaningless, according to H. R. JNorthup, secretary, National Lumber Dealers association. What the man on the street wants to know is: how much employment will result from liomc construction in his town. I "Here is one kind of answer Jo that question, based on a re- tent analysis made by this assO' triuliion," Northup nvterred. "If Jours is a small towns and you Jionld 30 houses during the first postwar year, you , will creote Bull-time employment for about fcash Income From Berries 'Good' J Cosh farm incomej from logan berries, boysenberries and young jjierries has been good through the (last few years. Though 95 per cent of the berries in the state jliave been raised in the Willam ette valley, Union county has pro duced enough for county con sumption, and where irrigation has been available tot the grower the berries have been plentiful ymd of the highest quality. Dc- nand each year far exceeds pro- kluction. State Covered by Vow Testing, Laws Although the new Oregon law o control bovine diseases is gen rally known as the Bung's dis ease control law, this code also rovdrs Ihe testing and control neasures for bovine tubereulosis. ! Every owner of a dairy cow is ntitled to one free test for tu lerctilosis and Bang's disease an- uially. He will be given addi- lonal tests if infection is reveal- d. This must necessarily be con ducted on an area basis, and if lie owner moves from a non- esled part of the county into an irea that has been te.fled, he nay miss the test for that year. The owner is obligated to have is cow or cows properly restrain d and ready to test on date of liotification of test. He is also ibligated to dispose of reactors ind cooperate in sanitury meas ures lu clean up infected prem- :.i s. Href cattle brcud,urs are en itled to the same testing priv-I' DO men. If yours is a larger town and you build throb hundred houses during the first postwar year, you will create U00 full-time jobs in your town." At least four kinds of employ ment can be tabulated as accru ing from home construction in any locality. These are: Actual construction work on the home site; Off-site labor that produces, transports or transforms raw materials to construction mate rials on the building site; Store, shop and service estab lishment aonstrucUnn, that re sults from the development of new shopping centers in new communities; Retail jobs that develop in these same neighborhood stores and shops. Home planners' institutes, are operating today in 138 towns and communities with a definite aim of creating jobs for returning vet erans and ex-war workers. En ro Ileus attending free lectures are people who either own their post war home site, or have saved or are saving money for a postwar home. Effort is made to help these postwar home buyers plan and prepare for their new homes. It is believed that 300.000 home buyers will have attended the home planners' institute by spring. From a recent survey made nmong the audience member ship, it was found that the aver age homo which institute mem bers planned to build would amount to about $7200 including land. If 1,000 such home were built, it is estimated that over all employment of 3,023 workers would result in the four cate gories given above. Nation-wide estimates i n d i -cate that the construction indus try will create or effect the crea tion of II li million postwar jobs (not counting resulting retail em ployment), which makes its un derstandable why the govern ment looks to the home construc tion industry to spearhead the return to a peace-time economy. 1 ligmn A gwunntt in County Not High Acreage of snap beans harvest ed for processing in Oregon this year was estimated at close to 5,000 acres, nearly five times the acreage of 1934. Union county not raising the vegetable for com mercial canning, did not raise enough to meet the demands of local markets. Wallowa county, with slightly later seasons in some parts of the county produced half as many. 138 Oregon Farmers Killed in 4 Years In four years, 1940-43, 138 Or egon farmers lost their lives in farming operations. Greatest number of farm-work fatalities occurred in the (0 to 09 age range. July, August, October, May and September are worst months for farm accidents. Dairy Announces Post War Plans Post-war plans for the eight months-old Valley Dairy, 1112 Jefferson street, include making of ice cream and selling of whip ping cream, in addition to con tinuing store deliveries. The mak ing of ice cream is planned for as soon as sugar and equipment are available, Roy Remecke, man ager, has announced, and whip ping crem will be available as soon as caps for the bottles are obtainable: Most important piece of equip ment added to the dairy is a new automatic pasteurizer, of 000 quart capacity. This was added about a month ago. Reineckc, an(d h i;s brother, Ralph, started the dairy in Feb ruary, and confine their deliver ies to stores. They plan to con tinue this. The Reineekes buy their mill from farmers, whose cows have to be tested for both Bangs disease and tuberculosis. They have five employes now, but plan to add more. Roy comes from Wallace, Ida., and Ralph, for the past two years, was manager of the Union county cooperative creamery. Raspberry Crop In County Grows Red raspberries are of material economic importance in Oregon. Cash farm income in 1943 amounting to $1,020,1100 exceed ed any year of record, despite the decrease in acreage harvested and smaller production than in pre vious years. Although acreage has decreased substantially since 1930, total annual production has held fairly steady. Union county last year produc ed between 18 and 20 acres of the berries. Black raspberries have increas ed in importance. Union county produces approximately fivo, acres. This figure does not include small family gardens. 60 Breeders to Consign Animals To Hereford Sale (Continue'l Yon Page 1 Clyde McKenzie, Summerville, three bulls, three cows. F. W.
