By CLAliDE STEUSLOFF
Marion county 1949 total (arm income of $27,549,000 is down
8.2 per cent from last year, indicates data compiled in the county
agent's office.
For the third straight year since 194C real net income, which
depends upon net dollar income and buying power of farmer
dollars has declined.
During 1948 a peak of 180 per
cent above the 1938-1947 aver
age was reached. In 1942 Marion
county farm income was $17,
218,000. Specialty crops brought in $5,
814,000 this year, 21.1 percent
of the total income. For several
years Marion county has been
among the leaders in Oregon
for cash return from this group
of crops, principally hops and
peppermint. It is also a leading
producer of fiber flax and flax
seed. Marion county now has
some 4000 acres in peppermint.
Dairy products, livestock,
eggs and poultry income amoun
ted to 36.7 percent of the total.
Dairy product sales were $3,
526,000; livestock $3,251,000;
eggs and poultry $3,333,000.
Turkeys helped the poultry fig
ure by more than two million
dollars.
Tree fruits and nuts with $2,-
562,000 brought in a little less
than 10 percent of the total
county income. Truck crops and
potato total was $2,369,000;
small fruits, $2,204,000, each
around 8 percent of all sales. Fo
rage crops and seeds were worth
$1,846,000 with the grain and
hay total $1,377,000.
Sale of farm timber brought
in $661,000. Special horticultu
ral products such as bulbs, holly,
cut flowers and nursery crops
added $413,000. Miscellaneous
animal products came in with
$193,000.

Tunnel Pierces What May
Be Source of Pitchblende
Denver. Dec. 7 (P) A mining company official said today a
3,600-foot tunnel into the heart of the Rockies had pierced what
may be an important mother lode of pitchblende prime source
of uranium.
The tunnel was drilled on what the official termed a half mil
lion dollar gamble in America's
race for atomic supremacy.
Alexander Pregel of New
York, vice president of the Can-
adium Radium and Uranium
corporation, said here in an in
terview with the Denver Post
that the tunnel, its location
picked by scientific deduction,
pierced the lode.
Pregel constantly referred to
secrecy demands In connection
with the atomic program but
did give these details:
The lode was located in the
old Caribou mine district high
in the mountains west of Bould
er, Colo. Geologists long have
felt some primary source of
pitchblende along the backbone
of the Rockies provided the scat
tering of secondary deposits
found near the surface.
A number of these deposits
were located with Geiger count
ers, recording the radio activity
of uranium. A tunnel was driven
into the side of a hill. Now in
3,673 feet, plans are being made
to fan out with other tunnels to
adjacent areas in a search for
more deposits.
"I can say this much," Pregel
added. "We're in production."
First work in the area was
heralded a year ago as possibly
making the United States self
sufficient in uranium ore.
Atomic energy commission of
ficials treated this statement
with skepticism.
Pitchblende, which can con
tain from 40 to 90 per cent uran
ium oxide, is the source of the
precious mineral in the Belgian
Congo and the Great Bear Lake
region in Canada, two of the
major source of ore. Production
in western Colorado and Utah
comes principally from car-
notite, a secondary ore.
Rice isn't just rice to the
Chinees . . . they have one word
for cooked rice and another for
uncooked rice.
