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

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.
