Cost Survey
Being Conducted
In This County
A nother cost survey, to continue
the first one made five years ago
by the late A. S. B u rn er, is being
conducted in this county th is week
by W. W. Gorton, an assista n t of
Mr, B u rn e r in the fo rm er survey
and Allen Tom, son of Mr. and
M r/.TZurt Tom of Rufus.
D. C. M umford ¡3 s ta te head of
the survey which will include
some farm s in m ost of the w heat
grow ing counties of ea ste rn O re­
gon.
W hereas the 1936 survey was
based on 20 farm s in this countv.
the 1941 survey will include 35
farm s, and in addition to wheat
the new survey will contain d ata
on the value and cost of crested
w heat g rass and tra sh y fallow.
The first survey was haaled as
thi first real inform ation on the
cost of producing w heat since the
federal governm ent sen t men over
this county in 1920. It ahowod the
cost of each* farm operation, the
overhead cost of taxes, interest,
etc., which to g eth er w ith the value
of the product gave a basis for
estim atin g the efficiency of the
operation and the value of the
land used.
Sherm an county fared ra th e r
well in the original survey it be­
ing shown th a t w heat was grown
here more cheaply th an in any
other county of the state.
