Beef Stock in Oregon up 1 3 Per Cent
Over 1948, Late USDA Count Shows
Inventory holdings of beet cat.
tic, sheep, hops, and turkeys on
Oregon farms and ranches Janu
ary 1, 1919 were larger than a
year ago, while numbers of milk
cows, horses, and chickens were
smaller, according to the annual
livestock report of the Crop Re
porting Service. These estimates
are based on voluntary reports of
producers obtained through the
cooperation of the post office de
partment. The numbers of all dairy stock
(milk cows and heifers and hei
fer calves being kept for milk)
declined 1 per cent while beef
stock increased 13 per cent. Sheep
numbers are up 1 per cent the
first increase in 8 years. Hog
numbers are up 12 per cent.
Chicken numbers are down 4 per
cent from a year ago while tur
key numbers are up G5 per cent.
When the number of each of
the major livestock and poultry
species on hand January 1, 1949
are combined on the basis of their
relative economic importance,
the overall increase from a year
ago is about 6 per cent. Of sne-
cial interest is that fact that al
though combined livestock and
poultry population has increased
in Orecon this nast vear. it has
declined further for the nation as
a whole. The national reduction
in inventory numbers puts pro
ducers in a relatively strone do-
sition in relation to feed supplies
and the demand for meat from an
expanding human population.
However, the severe winter in the
western and great plains statbs
has disrupted distribution and
transportation of feeds as well as
lowered the average condition of
livestock.

Although most meat animal
prices declined toward the end of
1948, the general upward trend
during the summer resulted in a
record high cash income from the
marketing of Oregon livestock
and livestock products, as well
as higher January 1 inventory
values than a year ago. Total
1948 cash income from the mar
ketings of livestock products is
estimated at $180,145,000, an in
crease of 6 per cent from the pre
vious record in 1947. Higher pro
duction costs in 1948 tended to
narrow the net returns, however.
Production costs this winter have
increased further due to the se
vere weather and unusual snow
falls as well as record high costs
of hay.
The January 1, 1949 combined
inventory value of livestock and
poultry on farms totaled $187,
887,000, a 21 per cent increase
from the previous record of a
year ago and over twice as great
as in 1942. The estimated total
value of each of the principal
livestock and poultry species on
hand January 1, 1949 and per cent
change from 1948 is as follows:
Cattle and calves $153,166,000, up
23 per cent; sheep and lambs
$14,382,000, up 19 per cent; hogs
$6,514,000, up 1 per cent; horses
$3,542,000. dnwn 14 per cent;
mules $171,000, down 5 per cent;
chickens $6,332,000, up 3 per cent;
and turkeys $3,780,000, up 112 per
cent.

The lone Clothing 4-H club met
Saturday afternoon at the home
of Joan Coleman, lone. Miss Wil.
son presented the lesson on com
paring the girls' individual body
measurements with the dress
pattern measurements. She then
demonstrated how to make the
two coincide by altering the pat
tern before cutting. She empha
sized that this procedure elimin
ated much of the guesswork in
fitting, saved time in construct
ing the garment, and material
when cutting. Six club members
altered their patterns that after
noon. During the business meeting,
the girls decided to send a letter
to the Morrow County Gralngrow
ers thanking them for sending
the 4-H club calendars to each
of the 4-H club members this
year.
4-H club members feeding
steers for market should be sure
the calf has a dry place to lie
down and grow fat. Cattle cannot
do their best if they have to stand
around in the mud with no place
to lie down and chew their cud.
Get busy these warm days now
and teach your calf to lead be
fore he gets so big that you can
not handle him.
Don't let those comical drivers
put you in stitches.
Drivers train your mind to
mind the trains.

!EW BUILDING TECHNIQUES
SAVE LABOR AND MATERIALS
The findings of a recent studv
in housing indicate that by use
of improved construction methods
it is possible for the conventional
home builder to increase his effi
ciency, resulting in reduced man
hours and minimum wastage of
materials. The savings in mater
ials and labor, with no allowance
for contractor's overhead or prof
it, amounted to 10 per cent. The
savings in total labor on the job
amounted to 21 per cent.
ror this study, six houses were
built. These were identical in
size and Dlan and varied onlv

flow of material from the supply
yards to the job sites. The "industry-engineered"
house is de
signed to take advantage of sav
ings possible under engineered
construction methods. The dimen
sions of the house are coordin
ated with dimension of materials
so that lumber, wallboard, brick,
and concrete blocks, windows
and other items fit into the house
with a minimum of cutting and
fitting. The basic unit of mea
surement, to which building ma
terials and room dimensions are
coordinated, is four inches com
monly referred to as the module.
The houses were built in pairs
a frame house and a masonry
house made up each pair. In con
structing the first part, conven
tional methods were used and a
record was kept of the time spent.
Similar records were kept of the
time spent in building the other
two pairs of houses which were
built according to improved con
struction methods. No special
tools, mass buying, or mass as
sembly were tried. All improve
ments were limited to such tech
niques as could be practiced by a
builder who constructs from one
to four houses a year.
Recommended new techniques
included the following:
1. Pre-cutting all materials
from dimensions taken from com
plete and accurate framing lay
out or drawings.
2. Use of the "single room"
technique in which the exterior
walls and roof are erected first:
the walls, floor and ceilings are
finished and the installation of
plumbing, heating and wiring is
started before the room partitions
are put in place.

NEW COTTONS EXAMINED
Morrow county homemakrrs
had an opport unity to examine
many of the new cotton fabrics
on the market this last week at
the home demonstration agent's
office. Miss Wilson has samples
of new Swagger-ginghams put
out by Galey and Lord, textile
firm in New York. From We ink's
in St. Louis there were linens,
chambrays, crush resistant suit
ing and butcher linens and gab
ardines. Welek's featured unus
ual denims and chambray with
metal stripe in many different
colors. There was a quantity of
sheer fabrics voiles, cottons,
handkerchief linens, chiffons,
and dress worsteds. Many of the
homemakers ordered some of
these unusual materials and the
public will be seeing them ex
hibited in their garments at the
homemaker's festival in April
and on the street all summer.
