Eugene's Farm Labor Office waa
swamped with requests for re
ferrals to bean fields Monday
morning, but most of the esti
mated 150 persons who applied
were destined to wait until the
bean crop la more fully matured
nil week.
Bean Grower Clf m Howell of
Goodpasture Island waa tha first
to haul a load of pickers from
Eugene Monday. Farm Labor
Assistant Kenneth Arney said oth
er growers are waiting to learn
how many pickers will drive to
the fields, before making provi
sions to haul the pickers from tha
city.
"We don't want proapactlva
bean pickers to become discour
aged," said Arney, pointing out
that the crop is late and picking
will not be In full swing until
about August 1. The 150 who ap
plied for work Monday Included
both local persona and transients.
Lnvi Lot
Children's Platoon No. 1 will
leave the Irlsh-Swartr parking
lot at Tenth Ave. and Charnelton
St. at 7 a. m. Tuesday. Tha first
platoon wilt pick at the Fred
Kingsley farm In the Norkenile
District. Other platoons will not
start picking until lata this week
or early next week.
Meantime, registration was un
der way at Coburg Farm Labor
Camp, which will open July 25.
The camp Is for families only, and
for bean pickers only. Tents and
cabins owned by the growers sra
rapidly filling up, but several good
camping sites still are available
for persons who have their own
tents.
Other types of farm work, aside
from bean picklnf. are at a min
imum. Only a few persons are
being referred to farms for beet
pulling, picklnf cucumbers, haying
and combining. ,
"Tha bean picking situation def
initely Is a lot different that It
waa during tha last few years,"
siud Arney, pointing out that sup
ply and demand are beginning to
equalize. j

trend of his "real Income" in

stirs concern.
Credit The rapid increase in
consumer credit has slowed down;
the present Increase can safely be
continued through the year, but a
more rapid increase would be
"unhealthy."
Inventories Stocks in the
hands of retailers, wholesalers and
manufacturers are at sound levels;
"they csn probably Increase to
some extent with safety."
Home Building The number of
new home started this year is
"far below requirements." Con
struction costs csn end "must" be
lowered. The Taft-Wsgner-Ulen-der
long-range housing bill, which
would provide federal sld for low
rental projects, "should be enacted
without delay."
Export Seventy-Eve per
cent of the 1947 gain in national
production was caused by the un
expected boom In exports but for
eign buying power is "likely soon
to decline."
