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.

I Farm Land Values
i r n c
III WlCtjVII W.
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.
