Page 6 Heppner Gazette Times, Thursday, July 1 1, 1957 June Traffic Death Toll High in State The highest June death toll since 1952 was recorded last month on Oregon streets and highways when at least 45 people were killed in accidents. The count also made the month the worst so far this year and brought the state's six month traffic death toll to 198. The six month count last year was 190. Several multiple-death accid ents, including one near Bend in which five members of a fam ily were killed, helped shove the toll upward, according to the Department of Motor Vehicle's traffic safety division. Several persons injured in June mishaps are still reported in crit ical condition so the final count might still be higher, the division said. The month-my-month traffic toll this year shows January with 27 deaths, February 29; March 35; April, 31; May, 31; and June 45. The worst single month ever recorded in Oregon was August, 1950, when 59 people were killed In traffic accidents.

Hit Record High Values of farm land in Oregon and across the nation are still rising, reports Mrs. Elvera Hor rell, extension agricultural ec onomist at Oregon State college. Oregon land values have come up more than a third since 1947 49, Mrs. Horrell said, and .are now at the highest point on record. Value of farm land and buildings in the state, not count ing livestock or farm machinery and equipment, now totals close to 2 billion. Average value per farm in the state is in the neighborhood of $33,000 about $10,000 higher than the national average. On a per acre basis, however, Oregon farm lands rank 31st among the 48 states, having a value on March 1 of $84 per acre compafed to better than $94 per acre as a national average. Looking over reports from the U. S. department of agriculture, Mrs. Horrell found that land val ues in 34 states, including Ore gon, increased 2 or 3 percent dur ing the four-month period end ing Mrach 1. In general, there has been a steady uptrend in na tional farm real estate values since 1994, Mis. Horrell said. The only exceptions have been those states seriously affected by the drought. The strong farm land values are supported by forces both in and out of agriculture, Mrs. Hor rell believes. Within agriculture, there is an expanding technology based on a mechanized agricult ure and to make the 'most ef ficient use of their machinery, farmers are reaching out for more land. Outside of agriculture, there is a high level of business activ ity, a rising price level, and need for space for the nation's growing population.
