I Air Shipment Farm Produce Now Regular Here, Livestock Carried ' By Claude Slcusloff t The plane reported lost in the Wood river country north of 'Klamath Falls is a craft which Robert Rubottom of McMinnville !organized air transportation for farm products of the Willamette Ivalley. The service was to have jbeen inaugurated with a plane load of turkey poults to take to the air on January 21 for a mid dle west destination. The business of hauling farm goods by air has been toyed with for a number of years. Lee U. Eyerly, local pilot and manu facturer, made a trip to Denver as early as 1932 with 550 pounds of black cherries from orchards near Salem. They sold at $1 per pound right at the Denver airport, and the trip resulted in a subscription being taken up among cherry growers in this vicinity with the idea of pur chasing a plane for use in the service. However, other mar kets were subsequently found for cherries and the project did not materialize. Eyerley says he is convinced there is a big fu ture in air freight and that the outlook for fast service over liyig distances is one of the most lifrely developments in transpor tation. Air Express Since 1936 Air express service in and out of Salem was " inaugurated in FUNHY FEELINGS duetoWDDLEAGE' This great medicine Is famous to relieve hot flushes, weak, tired, Ir ritable, nervous feelings when due to the functional 'middle-age' period. 1 peculiar to women. All drugstores. 1936 and during last December between 500 and 600 shipments were made from the airport by that means. The rates are built up on a pound-mile basis. The cost from Salem to Chicago or anywhere in the U. S. beyond there is about 73 cents per pound. Air express shipments are limited to the size of the doors in the wing and tail com partments where they are car ried on the regular passenger planes. Baby chicks, dogs, tur keys, rabbits, cats, lobsters, and mink are quite common fliers, and several full plane loads of turkey poults left Salem last spring for the east. Air cargo planes are capable of handling much larger indi vidual loads because the entire body of the plane is used for stowing the load. Special serv ice in and out of Salem can be had for shipments of 400 pounds or more and air freight of small er size or weight is regularly coming into Portland. The rates for freight is considerably lower than for express on heav ier shipments. Stockmen say that one of the most desirable features of ship ping animals by air is, that it eliminates travel fatigue. This is important with temperament al beasts such as dairy cattle or race horses. Reputedly the first animal ever to go up in a plane was a Guernsey cow given a ride during the International race meet at St. Louis in 1923. West ern Glow Maryann, the world's record cow of the same breed recently acquired by M. C. Fleming of Troutdale, was fur nished milking service en route during her plane trip from the east. Fatigue Avoided The time element is also im portant in long voyages. Ahrens Bros, of Turner have imported a high-priced Romney breeding ram from New Zealand. He was eight weeks en route by boat and that entire time was spent in a shipping crate so that his condition on arrival was very poor and his usefulness im paired for several months. The accompanying photo graph was taken of the shipment of 1000 purebred Rambouillet ewe lambs, sent from San An gelo, Texas, to Guatemala, Cen tral America. The sheep were loaded 250 per plane into pens which were anchored by rope netting. In 1946 two plane loads of dairy cattle were sent from La Guardia field in New York to Central America. The purebred stockmen of this area are pointing toward the same markets for their stock and are watching these developments closely. Of the 20 most serious fires in this country since 1900, none burned on a Friday the 13th.
