Unemployment Cost
Down for Period
Unemployment insurance pay
ments for the month just past were
less than half those of March, 1940,
while a comparison for the entire
first quarter shows a drop of 28.7
percent from last year.
The monthly resume just issued
by Aciministrator Silas Gaiser shows
benefits of $419,163 paid to the un
employed during March, bringing
the total for the year to $1,170,812.
These figures compare with $895,917
and $1,641,682 last year.
Initial claims filed to date total
33,505, as compared with 41,000 for
the same period of 1940, a drop of
18.3 percent. Last year 6,963 claim
ants drew their entire benefits of
$533,208 during the first quarter,
while this year 4,086 workers drew
$351,818 in maximum benefits.
Employers' contributions paid to
March 31, amounted to $1,813,667,
an increase of nearly 3 per cent over
last year's first quarter taxes.
The unemployment trust fund in
creased from $10,056,332 to $10,
701,773 during the first three months
of 1941. This compares with $7,
934,070 a year ago and $6,086,531
in 1939.
Despite recent legislative enact
ments removing coverage on young
news-carriers, sorority and frater
nity employees and fruit packing
workers, officials expect contribu
tions to remain close to 1940 levels.
New experience rates, which take
effect July 1, also may cut taxes
slightly, but the full effect probably
will not be felt until 1942, when the
fund "ceiling" of about $14,200,000
may be reached with its subsequent
elimination of all penalty rates above
2.7 percent.

Some Profit in
Cockerels Found
In College Test
Under normal economic conditions
operators who have ample brooding
equipment and favorable market
outlets may convert surplus leghorn
cockerels into a marketable product
at a small profit per bird. Such is
the conclusion reached by repre
sentatives of the poultry and agri
cultural engineering departments of
the Oregon experiment station, who
have been conducting experiments
on cockerel rearing at the request
of Oregon poultrymen.
A new bulletin recording the re
sults of the experiment was the
development of an O. S. C. broiler
ration. Because Oregon produces a
surplus of grain as well as a surplus
of leghorn day-old cockerels, at
tempt was made to produce a satis
factory ration which would consist
of bulk grains which could be fed
separately at less cost than where
all-mash feeds were used.
An O. S. C. broiler mas was de
veloped which consists of a relative
ly fast growing ration containing
an efficient balance of quality pro
teins that would permit the feeding
of liberal amounts of lower priced
grains. It was found that the best
ration is the most efficient growing
ration rather than a fattening one.
Tests were made with rearing
broilers in batteries as well as on
floors. The battery-reared leghorn
broilers were approximately a week
ahead of the floor-reared birds at
eight weeks, and the battery-reared
Rhode Island reds made more effi
cient gains than the leghorns for
the same period.
The authors add that rearing broil
ers of any breed in commercial
numbers with battery equipment is
a hazardous undertaking unless
housed in a well ceiled room where
room temperature, ventilation, and
humidity may be definitely controlled.

ARE YOU SEEING ONLY PART OF THE PICTURE?
The great majority of beer retail estab
lishments are clean wholesome places.
Yet it is the once -in -a-while excep
tionthe anti-social, law-violating tavern
that everybody notices.
Such undesirable retailers give beer a
bad name it doesn't deserve. Further
more, by arousing public indignation,
retailing abuses endanger your right to
enjoy good beer, the beverage of moder
ation. They also endanger the benefits
that beer has brought to Oregon
13,238 persons employed since re-legal
ization, an annual payroll of $11,541,550
and $617,020.86 taxes paid last year.
While it is the brewers' responsibility
to brew good beer and the retailers'
responsibility to sell it under wholesome
conditions, nevertheless the brewing in
dustry wants anti-social retailing elimi
nated entirely.
You can help us by (l) patronizing only
the legal and reputable places where
beer is sold and (2) by reporting any law
violations you may observe to the duly
constituted law enforcement authorities.
