THE BEND BULLETIN, BEND, OREGON, THURSDAY. DEC. 28. 1944
PAGE THREE
Questions Listed
For 1945 Census
Of Oregon Farms
By It. I.. Ackennan
(District Agricultural Census
Supervisor)
Providing you own three or
more acres of land or produced a
crop in 1941 valued at $250 or
more, regardless of the acreage
Involved, a census taker sometime
in January will knock at vour
door and begin asking questions.
He will want to know vour name,
age and race; the number of dwel
lings on your farm; the number
of persbns dwelling In each unit;
the acreage which your farm cov
ers; the balance on your' mort
gage; the value of your land, ma
chinery and buildings, and wheth
er vou rent or own your land. .
Because the 1945 census of agri
culture is the first ever to be
taken when the nation was ac
tually engaged in war, it will cer
tainly be one of the most signifi
cant ever taken, and therefore a
number of new questions will be
asked. This census is expected to
show how the American farmer
so gallantlv overcame the ob
stacles of shortages In labor and
materials and made the 1944 crop
year a peak war production year.
Also, since we hope we will soon
ho shifting from a wartime pro
duction basis to a peacetime one,
the figures gathered now will be
of untold assistance In helping the
farmer avoid the various pitfalls
of overproduction or underproduc
tion which he may face in the pro
cess of reconversion.
To Ask Questions
Therefore, it will be necessary
to ask more questions and these
questions may require the farm
ers to do some paper work. It will
save time and effort for both the
census taker and the farmer if
the answers to these questions are
prepared ahead of time. Here are
some of the new questions which
will be asked:
What is the value of your vari
ous crops?
What was the acreage planted
for each crop, and what was the
amount harvested?
What is the amount and value
of livestock on hand?
What was the value of livestock
sold in the past year?
How many chicken eggs are
normally produced per day on
your farm?'
How much butter and milk have
you sold in the past year?
What was ithe value of truck
garden vegetables produced last
year? VVhat per cent of produce
from your garden was sold, and
what per cent was used in ypiuj
home?
Reports Are Confidential
Remember, in answering these
questions, that the Information on
each Individual farm is absolutely
confidential. It cannot be used for
purDoses of taxation, regulation,
or investigation by any govern
ment agency. The figures are
turned in to the census bureau
where they are tabulated and to
talled. Totals are compiled for
counties, states, maior regions of
the country, and for the United
States as a whole. On these sta
tistics are based the fundamental
data used in setting up and oper
ating America's .farm programs
and plans. They will be used by
various federal agencies, such as
the department of agriculture and
the department of commerce, to
keeD them in touch with the agri
culture industry. Federal Land
Banks, Production Credit associa
tions, and private banking Institu
tions will be guided by these fig
ures. Railroads will use them In
distributing freight cars for mov
ine farm produce. County agents
will use them to distribute crop
information and advice. Feed
store men will use them to deter
mine the kind of feed best for
livestock and poultry in particu
lar areas.
But these uses cannot be made
if the farmer does not provide the
correct answers to the questions
asked him. So, when the census
taker knocks at your door, be
ready with the answers to the
questions he will ask. Uncle Sam
and his 26.000 farm enumerators
need all the assistance you can
give them.
Portland Buying
Spree Criticii
Portland, Ore., Dec. 28 IP
Portland today had the dubious
distinctloon in OPA records of
being the only Pacific coast city
in which food Buyers rushed to
food stores that would take their
ration stamps after the'Monday
midnight deadline. -
McDannel Brown, district OPA
director, reported In the wake of
the buying spree that, so far as
he could learn, Portland was the
only major city on the coast
where consumers staged what he
termed an "unpatriotic spectacle."
Brown attributed the rush in
part to misinformation that cir
culated widely during Tuesday
despite OPA efforts to check it.
Approval of the OPA move in
sudden shift of ration points was
expressed by John M. Lansinger,
executive secretary of the Oregon
Food Merchants association.
Decision Called Wise
"The OPA made a wise deci
sion in cancelling food stamps
that were issued before Dec. 1,"
he said, "in view of wartime sup
plies and unpredictable circum
stances relating to our "military
effort.

3d WAR FOR WORKER, 85
Rochester, N. Y. UiFrank Mil
ler, 85, who watched the boys
march home from the tlvil war
and has been employed in the
Bausch & Lomb Optical Co. plant
through three wars, Is that firm's
candidate for the city's oldest war
worker. A native of LeRoy, N. Y.,
Miller made wagon axles before
he was employed by the optical
firm in 1896. His 8-year-old em
ployment record shows no tardi
ness and few absences from his
.work as polisher maker and lens
blocker. - : v'"; '

The nearer the Russians drive to Berlin, the tougher they find the going because (1) the German
supply lines have thus been shortened and, by the same token, the Beds' supply routes, some of
which run all the way back to the Urals, have been lengthened, as shown on map above; (2)
muddy terrain in Poland, where freezing weather comes several weeks later than on the Steppes,
causes mechanized transport to bog down, as in inset picture. In order to shorten their supply
lines, Russians are moving whole factories nearer the front; rebuilding railroads to reach up to
the fighting lines.
ly requested the OPA not to give
out any advance information.
Here is one case where none was
given, to avoid runs, and It is a
sad commentary when the trade
does not live up to the action
they, themselves, requested."
H. E. Carlson, executive secre
tary of the Independent Retail
Grocers and Meat Dealers asso
ciation, said 85 per cent of the
markets in the Portland area had
abided. by regulations Tuesday.
