USE OF RAW MATERIAL
To motorists who drive the mountain highways leading
to the west side of the state the sight of truckloads of baled
hay heading over to the valley has become too common
in recent years to excite more than casual comment except,
perhaps, that of annoyance. On crooked roads, hayfields in
.transit are, of necessity, difficult to pass.
That, however, is not the important part of it. We have
commented before now on the unwisdom of exporting so man
ifestly large a part of a crop which, we have always felt,
could be more advantageously used to build up the livestock
and dairy industry of this area and, through that use, to
maintain soil fertility. How large is the export and how cor
respondingly significant we had not realized until we stopped
to analyze figures presented Monday by Fred Shepard in the
course of a Kiwanis club program. Shipments in 1949, he
said, had a value of $975,000. Figured at 25 a ton, which
would be a fairly close average price through the shipping
season, this represents 39,000 tons. That's a lot of hay
Measure it another way. Assume that three tons is the
average yield per acre we don't think it's too far off and
the 1949 exports will be recognized as the cut from 13,000
acres, roughly three-tenths of the productive area of the C.O.I,
district. And there is the matter of the productivity as well
as the productive area. What is taken from the soil must be
replaced in the soil if successful farming is to be continued.
Fed to livestock, the products of the soil return to the soil an
appreciable part of the fertility which they had withdrawn
and enrich it also by the addition of needed humus. If they
are fed locally, the re-fertilization is local; fed elsewhere, the
fertility is added elsewhere and the land on which the crop
was grown must be replenished, chiefly with commercial fer
tilizer. Humus remains to be supplied.
Here is still another way to look at it. Thirty-nine thousand
tons of hay will feed a very tidy bunch of livestock. Nine hund
red pounds a month, we are told, is a fair allowance per head. J
The total, of course, depends on how many months a year you
feed them, a low of 7,200 head for year-around feeding to
13,000 head for six months feeding. Whatever it is, the num
ber provided for, in dairying andor meat production, would
represent a substantial industry. Again, is it to be here in cen
tral Oregon or elsewhere? It won't be here if the raw material
on which it must be based is hauled to another area a hundred
miles away.
If it can remain here and use be developed for it here, there
will be other exports from the mid-state country to take its
place. But they will be far greater in value for they will be
finished or partly finished products meats, butter, milk,
cheese, ice-cream instead of the rawest of raw material.
And in between there will have been the requirement for la
bor, in producing and processing; more man hours, more
payroll, more business development, greater over-all income
and increased prosperity. .
Visionary? Maybe, but we .don't think so. Fevhaps our
figures err on the side of optimism, although we have tried
to be conservative ; very well,
and we think they'll still look good.
WERE WE WRONG?
The other day there came a letter from an air force officer
saving that a survey team will visit Bend to gather informa
tion lor the use ol a board that will determine tne site ol tne
, air force academy. A list of the items on which information is
wanted was enclosed with the letter It was suggested that we
might want to have the information gathered before the vis
it of the survey team. ,
Our reply was that it would be a waste of the team's time
and the taxpayer's money for the team to come here and that
it would be foolish to gather the information that would be
needed.
So that you may know the details we give you the list of
items of information desired. There are 16, as follows:
1. Location of site relative to population centers.
2. Transportation facilities (rail, air, highway).
3. Availability ol power.
4. Availability of water.
5. Sewage facilities.
6. Drainage.
7. Engineering difficulties such as grading, etc.
8. Labor and materials' conditions In vicinity construction
Index.
9. Climatic conditions rainfall, temperature, humidity,
etc.
10. Availability of land (approximately 0000 acres).
11. Cost of land.
12. Cost of preparation of land.
13. Obstructions such us farms, cts. which must be removed
from the site.
14. Location of nearest airfield at which Air Force can nc- .
' quire immediate landing rights.
15. Availability of housing, cultural, recreational, education
al and other such facilities in nearby population centers.
16. Specific, person or persons to be contacted by the Site
Board team.
Were we wronu?
Even though the government
would we be wromr :
We're strong for Bend and
never argue that bananas could bo raised here.
Perhaps we should have said that the academy for which
the site is wanted would have'from 2,500 to 5,000 students.
Consider your answer in the light of that fact.
James F. Byrnes has announced his intention of running
for the governorship of South Carolina. Uoferrinjj to the can
didacy President Truman says that Byrnes can do as he d
pleases. We had supposed that that was the fact and Harry's
word makes it quite clear. ,

By Poter Edson -
' (NEA Washington Correspondent)
Washington (NEA) Wage in
creases and other benefits paid to
United Mine workers during the
past nine years are nearly five
times greater than wages lost
during the 18 coal strikes In this
same period, according to unoffi
cial figures based on government
wage statistics. The totals are
$753,000,000 In lost wages, $5,533,
000,000 in gains.
- A Southern Coal Producers' as
sociation man recently sharpened
his pencil and started this figur
ing on the moot question of whe
ther or not strikes ever1 "d"y
thai, strikers whb took ' p a tilt
them, ' , - , ; ., ,,
The strike losses could be fig
ured with ease and fair accuracy.
They Involved simply multiply
ing the number of men out on
strike by the wages they would
have received If they had worked
tun time during tne strike period.
To make the problem slmnler.
the figures were compiled for the
soft coal industry only, which em
ploys about 80 per cent of the
400,000 miners.
There were three strike shut
downs In 1941, 1943 and 1945, two
in 1946, 1947 and 1948, three In
1949, not counting the three-day
work-week period. In all, these 18
strikes covered 324 calendar days
or 281 work days.
According to the boutnern uoai
producers' figures, the wages lost
by miners on account of strikes
tn this period was ( a j.uuu.uuu.
This averages out to approxi
mately $2353 per miner.
Those figures do not include
wages lost through the three-day
work week Imposed from July 5
to Sept. 17 and during the month
the mine workers had gained
of December 1919.
When It came to figuring what
through new contracts In this
nine-year period, the going got a
lot tougher. Too many intangi
bles. To get any accurate figures
would require a check of payroll
records for all coal companies io
see Just which miners got what
benefits for how long a time. And
that was of course impossible. So
here the Southern Coal produc
ers' man gave up.

Bureau of Labor Statistics and'
U.S. Bureau .of Mines do, how
ever, have basic data on number
of man-days worked, average
daily wage, and contract terms
and Improvements from year to
year, These last Include allow
ances for things like vacation
pay, portal-to-portal pay, paid
lunch periods and welfare fund
benefits. .
From this basic data It has been
Impossible to make estimates on
miners' gains during this nine
year period. These figures have
been checked" at United Mine
workers' offices in Washington.
They are not guaranteed as com-
Lplore' or; accurate, but they are
characterised as reasonanie esti
mates in the absence of payroll
analysis, man by man.
These are the wage Increases
which three-fourths of these min
ors, employed in the north, have
received in the past nine years:
$1 a day in 1941, $1.85 in 1945,
$3.05 In 1947, $1 In 1948. The to
tal is $6.85. For the south, add 40
cents more. Total gains, $2,292,
000,000. This averages nearly $800
per man per year.
Gains through vacation pay,
from $20 a year in 1941 to $100
in' 1946 and after, $196,000,000.
Average per man, $600.
Gains from the welfare fund,
first begun in 1946, total $118.
000,000. Gains In portal-to-portal
pav, first begun in 1943 as two-
thirds ol pay lor 4a minutes, now
paid for as "working time at full
rate. $699,000,000. Gains from
paid lunch periods, begun as 15
minutes in una, raised to .iu min
utes In 1947, a total of $278,000,
000. Even these totals are said not
to represent complete gains. For
Instance, they do not include pay
ments made, to minors for over
time.
Thev also do not include the in.
tangible gains the miners have
made in their social standing.

Authentic Texts
Of Shakespeare
Baltimore IP) A newly-invent
ed page comparison machine is
aiding Dr. Charlton J. K. iiln
man. an English professor at
Johns Hopkins university. In his
efforts to compile a collection
of Shakespeare's plays exactly as
the Bard wrote them.
The machine, invented by Dr.
Hinman, is called the 'collator,"
and is operated by placing two
pages from various copies of
Shakespeare's first folio one on
top of the other. The differences
stand out as violent motion
against a background of station
ary print.
If you don't think the lob Is
difficult then you don't know
Shakespeare or the printers who
put out the first lollo. Hinman
says that when the printers
started putting out the folio tn
1623, they struck off some copies
and turned them over to prool
readers. But before 'the proof
reading was finished the printers
began issuing copies.
When the corrections finally
were made, new folios were pu
out but the old ones remained
in circulation to confound Shake
speare scholars of a later day.
The scholars were unable to de
cide which version is the cor
rected one, the true Shakespeare.
Before Hinman's collator came
into being, the scholars were
forced to make a page-by-page
comparison between different
copies of the folio. To give some
idea of the task, Hinman says
that there are 230 known copies
of the first folio in existence, each
containing 1,000 pages.
Hinman estimates that the
sight comparison method would
take several generations, since
one man Is able to compare only
about four or five pages a day.
To test his collator, the Johns
Hopkins teacher spent six weeks
at the Folger library in Wash
ington this summer going over
the library's 79 folio copies. Dur

In those 3,000 pages, Hinman
found discrepancies from copy to

were small but at least one made
clear a line which was meaning

of an omission.
