Page 8 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, July 31, 1952 Home Building Comes First On Farm, Surveys Indicate The Old assumption that farm its riogli'ct their homes in favor of farm buildings and improve ments just isn't borne out by the facts. Latest U. S. department of agri culture surveys, as reviewed for Oregon by Mrs. Elvera Horrell, OSC extension agricultural eco nomist, show that slightly more than half of the total value of farm consruction goes for houses. Out of the remaining less than half, three-fourths is spent on service buildings such as barns and poultry houses and the rest for fences, windmills, pumps, etc. On the farm, about one-third of the money spent for houses Is used for new construction and one-half for major improvements. The rest goes for miscellaneous repairs. This is in direct con trast to city figures, where most of the outlay is for new structures. About half of the farm con struction work, Mrs. Horrell re ports, is done by farmers and their families. This reduces the labor costs to about 25 per cent of the cash expenditures. In the city, labor costs run about 40 to 50 per cent of the total construc tion expense. o Heppner Library Has New Books On Shelves New books at the Heppner Pub lie library are When the Tree Flowered, Neihardt on the Amerl can Legion auxiliary shelf; The HiK Sky, Sigsbee shelf; The Sll ver Chalice, Costain, Union Mis sionary shelf; Slant of the Wild Wind, Itoark; Believe It or Not, Ripley; Valley of Wild Horses, .Shepherd of Cuadaloupe, Grey; Sun Up, James; Juvenile, Lo chinvar Luck, Terhune; two new Burgess books of the Green For est series and replacements for the Charles Cleveland Memorial shelf; two new Tarzan books.
