Children to I
Pick Beans
In Valley
Women and children throughout
the Willamette valley are being
mobilized in on the harvest of
Oregon's big snap ' bean crop,
which last year was valued at
over $3,100,000,: a slight increase
over the previous year. Approxi
mately 4500 acres of pole and snap
beans have been planted in Ore
gon this year, the bureau of agri
culture estimates, whiph is about
the same as the acreage harvest
last year
Boys and girls ; and women will
be depended' on again this year to
harvest the major portion of the
crop. About '125 youth platoons,
which have proved themselves in
past years and in other crops, will
be in the fields this year. In ad
dition, several women's platoons
a new type of harvest group in Or
gon this year will help out es
pecially in the; Salem and Port
land areas, plus hundreds of peo
ple In family groups and young
sters working as independents.
Bean picking began in several
areas this week end with' the de
mands for pickers expected with
in the hex! week or two. County
farm labor officers are prepar
ea to place pickers;
The age of the picker is the
most Important factor influencing
the amount of beans picked. A
study conducted in 1944, showed
that two grade school children
can. usually pick, about the same
as aa adult with approximately
150 pounds a day being the aver
age for picker of all ages. Grade
schoolers averaged about -: 100
pounds, high schoolers 130 pounds
and adults nearly 200. H
Pickers with previous exper
ience did about 13 per cent better,
and platoon children, working un
der an adult leader; picked about
18 per cent more beans. - There
was evidence :thati pickers will
pick as much in seven or even six
hours as they will in eight if they
are Informed of the ghorter hours
In advance.

Pulling Flax
On Program for
Next Few Weeks
While some flax Is being pulled
this week, heavy harvest will be
gin next week in the Mt Angel,
Jefferson, Silverton and Salem
areas.:
Reports from the Santiam dis
trict indicate that this year's will
be one of the best crops harvest
ed. Grading has been completed
by Roland Dimick and W. A. Gil-
key and it Is expected that most
of the fields will be pulled. The
crop is said to be far better than
those of the past two years. The
plant is putting up a new shed,
the fifth one for the association.
I. R.- Hammer of Stayton is in
charge of building. ; r
"We hope to have this new shed
ready, in about four or five weeks
ind will deseed part of the new
crop as it comes in in order to
continue retting operations,' Al
fred Lentschner, manager of the
plant, said.: ;
There are a ; few more i poor
fields in Marian county than there
seem to be in the Jefferson neigh
borhood. Seme of the growers
who planted their flax late this
spring report that it .cannot be
pulled but will have to be deseed
ed ia the field.
Leonard Brothers it the Silver-
ton plant report that one-third of
their flax will have to be cut for
seed: Other Marion county flax
glow eta are reporting the same.

EGOS TAKE BEATXNO
Eggs have taken a beating on
trains In 1945. Railroads have al
ready paid more than 8850,000 In
claims for ; shell eggs damaged In
transit during 1944. Losses of eggs
were blamed to improper selection
of shipping containers, poor car
loading and careless handling and
to loading and unloading opera
tions. Claims actually filed against
the railroads are only a fraction
of the total damages sustained.

Whoa 433 lambs were killed at

their lambs promiscuously In or

Suggestion was also made that
farmers cull their flocks, bringing
in the very best and fattening &e
poorer ones on fall pasture before
attempting to market.
When it comes to- hogs. Valley
Packing officials admitted, that la
a different story. r Only 64 were
killed during tiie week where that
many used to be killed in an hour.
So many farmers are no longer
separating the farm milk. There
la no skkn milk on which to fat

them doesnt seem to make for
large profits. Therefore, the local.
along with numerous other slaugh
