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

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.

this country since 1900, none

Bill Puts School Age
Back to 16 Years
A bill reducing from 18 to
16 the age at which children
may quit going to school was
introduced today by Reps. Giles
L. French, Moro. and Carl Hill,
Days Creek, Douglas county.
The law changed from 16 to
18 years in the 1945 session.
French and Hill want to put
the age back to 16.
The bill provides that child
would have to go to school until
he has completed the 8th grade
or until he is 16, whichever is
sooner.
The law now is that he must
go to school until he is through
high school or until he is 18.
