noted, here by March 1 and that
by June and July there will be
a manpower shortage In this area.
His beliefs, he said, were based
upon figures from employers and
a knowledge of what needs have
been and should be again.
Population Rise
Another set of figures from the
federal department of labor's bu
reau of labor statistics was cited
by Baillie to indicate that by 1970
tkere will be 6,000,000 residents of
tpe Willamette valley, or six times
as many as now dwell here.
One of the great deep silt soil
areas in the United States, the
valley will feed 13,000,000 people,
the bureau's surveys indicate,
Baillie said. Industry wants to
hire not the man with the hoe
bu the man with a cow, he de
clared, illustrating his contention
with a story from his own experi
ence in which one Industrial con
cern finked him to find several
hundred such men because "a man
may leave his wife and family,
but he does not leave a cow at
milking time he is there."
Cheap Power
Cheap power possibilities, a new
market in Europe and growing
markets here as the population
moves westward will encourage
industry, which is already moving
into this area, Baillie maintained.
