More People, More Customers Here is the third In a series of articles look ing into the future which were prepared by Kip linger Washington Editors. This one deals with foreseeable increases in population and birth rates and what it will mean to the nation's economy during the next decade. A 20 per cent increase In population and a roaring birth rate Is predicted for the next decade by the Kiplinger organization in Its annual re port on population and business growth In the United States, released today. The "Soaring Sixties" will bring another wave of economic expansion and further shifts in the habits and needs of the population of this country, Kiplinger says. In the late 60's population will reach 208 million, compared to the 1958 total of 175 million. And the birth rate will Jump from an annual rate of four million babies to five million a year. "Also more babies per family. Parents used to want two . . . now want three. The trends have been well established and there is nothing in sight to change them," the report says. 'This means, among other things, a much greater mark et for children's goods, a demand for bigger houses with more bedrooms." "The coming high tide of marriages is now only three years off. Children born in the 40's when the spectacular high birth rate began, will marry in the 60's, pushing the marriage rate a third above today's rate. Average marriage age probably will continue about as now, men at age 23, women at age 20." The result of this high marriage rate will be a stepped-up demand for houses, furniture, home appliances, cars and all the other things that are needed to equip new families. According to the Kiplinger report, "By the late 60's, there will be 20 million oldsters, over 65 Now there are 15 million. Length of widowhood will be about what it is now, nine years." I The future will see 75 million youngsters under 18, now 60 million. That means even more gear ing of our lives and living to the children. Teen agers alone will make up a larger proportion of the total population than now. With more oldsters and more youngsters, both in numbers and proportion, the people of work ing ages up to 65 will have their hands full producing enough goods to meet all the needs. "But," says Kiplinger, "it will be done by greater productivity with more older workers em ployed and less full retirement at ANY age. More women will work, many more than now." "Don't run the risk of later moaning, 'If I'd only known!' You DO know . . . and In advance .... about the "Soaring Sixties," says Kip linger. ODD ENDS .T. We have heard of quite a number of business men and others complaining recently that they wish Uncle Sam would get on the ball and send out the necessary employment tax forms W-2's, W-3's, and all the rest so they could get their year-end reports In the mall. We, too, were among those growling . . . until the first of the week ( when we finally got our head in gear and started looking through our collection of state and fed-1 eral forms. ' Sure enough, there was everything we thought , we didn't get all wrapped up in a new parage that we didn't recognize. This year It all comes In book form and looks just like the usual fed eral personal income tax book rather than the conglomeration of separate forms that used to be the order of the day. We'll bet there are dozens of others who didn't recognize what they had in their hands either. Those who didn't, better take another look, for it arrived about the middle of November.

Results of some feeding trials comparing rolled, ground, crumb led and pelleted feeds for young animals reported on by Joe John son, formerly of Oregon State College, now extension livestock specialist at the State College of Washington at the recent stock men's short course were interest ing. Realizing that in mature animals, palatability of feed stuff is one of the most, If not the most, important single factor in feed consumption. It was the case of the mature animals, how much more important is this factor of palatability of feed to the young suckling calf, pig or lamb. In making the test, twelve litters of Berkshire pigs were removed from farrowing crates with the sows and placed in ordinary rearing pens under the regular management routine. Each litter had access to a creep feed pen which contained four feeders each holding a creep-feed ration identical except for tex ture. At the end of 56 days when the pigs were weaned it was found that the litters had eaten 1413 pounds of rolled; 535 pounds of ground; 270 pounds crumbled; 252- pounds of y4 inch pellets. The study showed a marked prefer ence by baby pigs for a rolled creep feed ration over the other textures. This preference was very marked at the beginning of the creep feeding, but decreas ed in Importance as weaning time approached. In another test with lambs, it was found that 627 pounds of pellets were con sumed, 627 pounds of pellets with Aureomycin, 831 pounds rolled and 1044 pounds whole grain ration. With the present swing toward pelleted feeds by feed manufacturers, it becomes more Important to know what texture of feed is most liked by our farm livestock. Since a pellet of a cer tain mixture is the only grain offered to livestock in many feed ing operations, it follows that this feed will be eaten. Possibly greater consumption might be realized with a differently tex tured pellet. Further tests may show that so called naturally Lexington News By DELPHA JONES Anna Mae Steagall and Mrs O G Breeding were co-hostesses to a surprise birthday party hon oring Mrs Pearl Green and twin sister, Miss Murle Brannon and Berniece Wihlon at the Green home last Wednesday afternoon.

Record expansion of Pacific Power's generating capacity to supply customer needs was achieved with building of the world's highest earthflll dam and a 250,000-kilowatt powerhouse for the Swift hydroelectric pro ject, the installation of a third 45,000-kilowatt unit at the Mer win plant, both of which are now in operation on the Lewis River in Washington; and operation of the 100,000 kilowatt Dave Johnston steam-electric plant in Wyoming. PP&L president, D R McClung reported initial power output at the three major developments had dramatized at year's end the magnitude of the $63,000,000 of construction activity marking a new record of capital invest ment made by the company In any one year. "Completion of Swift increas es Pacific Power's generating ca pability at its three Lewis river projects to 533,000 kilowatts, and boosts the average annual out put from the Lewis plants to Mary Kay Hughes, Penny and Connie Papineau, Jeanine Hunt, Laurel Messenger, Kay Van Win kle, Linda Cooper, Vickie Irvln, Karen Edwards, Brenda, Tommy and George Steagall, David, Rod and Tommie Williams, Lola Breeding and the guest of honor, It has been announced that there will be first aid classes starting February 3 at the Lex ington city hall from 7:30 P M until 10 P M each Tuesday night for 4 weeks. These are free class es and all Interested are urged to attend. more than two billion kilowatt hours of electricity, he said. New heavy-duty transmission circuits and extensive distribu tion system Improvements roun ded out the 1958 accomplish ments, McClung said. The company now serves 305, 208 customers, an Increase of 3, 542 in the year. Annual average use of electricity in residences served by Pacific Power topped 7,000 kilowatt-hours for the first time, It was reported. "Pacific Power continues to go ahead with extensive investiga tions looking toward the future power needs of Its customers, and fostering constructive programs for the development of the region in which it does business," Mc Clung said. The power company official reported the outlook for depen dable supplies of power for the region is the "most favorable" in a decade because of the record amounts of new generating ca pacity being installed by the gov ernment, the local agencies and the utility companies. He said the region has adequate supplies for at least until the mid-1960's, and the the utilities are well along on the job of planning for ample power through 1975. Pacific Power is studying the Eden Ridge coal seams in south west Oregon's Coos county, where a steam plant may be combined with a hydroelecteric plant on the South Fork of the Coquille river. Explorations also are in progress in coal fields of Lewis and Thurston counties in Wash ington state. A co-founder of the Rocky Mountain-Pacific Nuclear Study Group, Pacific Power is among 50 utilities supporting a propos al before the Atomic Energy Commission to allow the groups to develop and build an experi mental nuclear plant of new con cept Printing Is Our Business I See Us ir ground and mixed rations are better liked by .young farm ani mals and may give better re sults than pellets, in spite of some waste of feed. Since the young meat animal grows and fattens in proportion to the amount of feed consumed, ration texture undoubtedly needs more careful consideration to insure earlier consumption of grain and rapid continuous growth and fat tening from birth to market.
