KOStBTltO. Or, April JO. (Special.)
fc Apprehension in a re w localities con
earning ability of farmers to finish
their seeding operations In time this
tpring led to a proposition being laid
torfore the Covernor. wherein It was
proposed to have construction work on
the Pacific Highway in 1'ouglas County
uspended for two or three weeks so
as to enable ranchers to avail them
selves of teams and men now employed
In roadballdlng. The Governor In turn
took the matter to the State Highway
Commission, and as a result of the
conference C. J. McLeod. of Salem, dis
trict engineer for the commission, ar
rived In Koeeburg. and. accompanied by
Kngtneer F. N. DrlnkhalL who has
charge of construction operations In
the IUIard-Myrtle Creek section, made
an exhaustive survey of the labor situ
ation here.
Pacta developed during their probe
f. the situation show that farmers In
louglas County have practically all of
their grain In. It was also developed
that, though many young men have
left the farms here and gone into ths
Army, ranchers, short-handed as they
were, have a larger acreage of growing
grain at the present than probably has
ever been seen In this section of the
state. A large percentage of this grain
l Winter sown, and is an unusually
fine prospect.
They also discovered that only about
four farm teams are engaged oa Pa
cific Highway construction work. The
camp at Anlauf. a short distance above
lraln. la working sis teams, and only
one Is a farmer's outfit. The others
ar either teams that follow contract
ing or came from the Willamette Val
ley At the three construction ramps of
the Warren Construction Company
Jtlce HilL Isadora and Oakland 100
head of work stock are employed.
Without exception, it la said, these
teams are owned by sub-contractors
and la no way connected with farm
enterprises. Even if construction work
should be stopped these teams doubt
less would not be employed by farmers,
however badly they might be needed.
tecause they command a higher scale
f pay than the rancher can afford.
la the Dillard-Myrtle Creek section
1x teama are at work. Two or three
ef them belong to ranchers, but they
were, put to work oa the hi .way only
because farm work waa all done for
tae present.
All of rae contractors, however, ac
cording to Engineer McLeod. are per
fectly willing to suspend operations at
any time that It appears advisable to
do so. In event construction should be
temporarily stopped on account of as
slating farmers with their work. It Is
stated that ranchera will be required
so guar ail tee to teamsters ths same
according to
there In ap
parently no occasion to stop highway
work. Later In the season, aa harvest
comes on. it may be found necessary
to ask contractora to lend their men
and teams to farmers for a short time.
C. J. Hurd. county agricultural agent,
will make a complete survey of the
situation between now and harvest, and
will be in a position to give such in
formation as will Insure the best pos
sible disposition of all working forces
when the harvest season rolls around.
With the exception of Corn planting.
farm crops In this part of the state are
pretty much all la and ranchera are
optimistic.
Knglneer McLeod will file a report
with the Highway Commission In so
cordance with the situation aa seen by
him. and It la believed no further action
will be taken relative to suspending
work on the hlghwsy at present.
