Bill For Federal
Aid to Education
(Courtesy “The Siskiyou’’)
Wa hington, D. C., Jan. 6 (IP)
A bill enabling the fe er;.i gov
ernm ent to participate in tne fin
ancial support of schools was in
troduced in the United States
Senate today by Senator Elbert
D. Thomas, Democrat, of U tih.
Suport for the m easure, which
in the same form was adopted by
the Senate in the 80th Congress
by a vote of 58 to 22, is bi-parti
san. The new bill is S246.
Senator Taft, who introduced
the bill in the last Congress, e n
dorsed the new bill in behalf of
the Republican sponsorship.
The am ount involved is $300,-
000,000 per year for the purpose
of helping the states, particularly
those in greatest need, to provide
schools for all children and to
help equalize educational oppor
tunity by setting up a minimum
foundation school program . The
bill seeks to provide for every
child in the United States and
expenditure of no less than $50
per year for education.
An im portant item of the bill
provides th at control of educa
tional policies shall rem ain in the
hands of the states and their lo
calities. Federal control or in
fluence of the educational pro
gram is specifically prohibited.
A year ago, Bennion states, a
dozen eggs were w orth only a-
bout 13 pounds of feed.
Together w ith that favorable
balance, Bennion anticipates iygh
er egg prices for the first six
m onths of 1949 as compared w ith
the same period in 1948. The pic
ture for the last half of 1949,
however, is not so rosy.
Everytim e there is a favorable
egg-feed ratio it brings an in
crease in the num ber of chicks
hatched.
Chicks hatched this
spring, Bannion points out, will
be the pullets that go into th?
laying flocks next fall. Conse
quently, there may be a general
slackening off of egg prices d u r
ing the fall months.
Nationally, the U. S. D epart
m ent of agriculture has requested
a 10 per cent increase in the num
ber of chickens. The Oregon US
DA council, however, has re
quested a 15 per cent increase in
this state's chicken num bers.
This requested step-up is due
m ainly to the rapid increase in
population that has taken place.
In the past four or five years
Oregon has swung from a poultry
and egg exporting to an im port
ing state. The long-time prospects
for Oregon producers of m arket
eggs and poultry meat is excep
tionally good, Bennion believes.
Recent reductions in the price
of lum ber will encourage more
persons to enter the poultry bus
iness. Bennion concludes. Poul
trym en cannot safely pay more
than $4 or $5 per bird at present
prices in constructing new build
ings to house their laying flocks.
Remodeling present buildings of
fers lower cost possibilities.
