Two Oregon Stat University
agricultural fcoiiomlsU. using
Toledo. Ore.. study unit.
have dewlowd a way to mean
ure the effects of air pollution
on residential property values.
It was found that a ton per
square mile per month Increase
In dustfall (particulate fallout)
would drop property values $29
per market transaction and cie
crease property values by $277
an acre.
The economists Dr. Herbert
II. Stoevener, associate professor
if nerlrultural economics, ana
John A. Jaksch. research fel
lowsaid decreases In property
values from air pollution in
creases are likely to be greater
for hljihcr-valued, more develop
ed properties than for less-de
veloped, lower-valued properties.
A copy of the Tolt-do study,
published by the O.SU Agricul
tural Experiment Station, can be
obtained by writing for Special
Heport 304, OSU Department of
Agricultural Economics, Corval
lis. They picked Toledo for the
study, said the economists, be
cause the source of pollution
for the area was principally
from only one emitter and the
area consists mostly of single-
family, residential housing un
its. This simplified the study
procedures.
Toledo, with n VJbl popula
tion of 3.010. includes a 40-mil-
lion dollar Investment, Georgia
Pacific Comorat ion's pulp and
paper mill. It and the compa
nv's plywood mill provide year
round employment for about
1.000 persons.
Used in the study were prop
erty transactions from June,
19G1, through December, mui,
within the Toledo city limits.
Only single-family residential
housing was considered.
Most air quality data came
from the State Sanitary Author-
ty which had four dust-fall sta
tions. Other information came air quality and that such costs

SG worth of wool for a total costs more each year.
A state livestock expert Fri
day told a group of sheepmen
In llermiston that sheep fanning
can offer an excellent possibil
itv to the rielit persons.
Dean Krischnecht, livestock
specialist from OSU talked about
the future of sheep production
in Umatilla and Morrow Coun
ties. The local sheep Industry al
ready Is a multi-million dollar
business, but as Frlschknecht
pointed out, raising sheep isn't
for everyone.
We have outlets for both
the lambs and the wool in this
area and the availability of feed
and ranie land." he said.
Even with the opportunity for
someone to make a good living
in sheep production Frischknecht
doesn't foresee much change in
the sheep numbers and, in fact,
expects a decrease as the cost
of raising sheep rises.
He says sheep numbers In
Umatilla and Morrow Counties
have dwindled to about iu.uou
range ewes which represent a
total Investment In animals and
land of roughly $2 million.
A successful sheep grower
Is doing and must enjoy doing it
must concentrate on what he
before he will make a profit.
Sheep need constant attention
and are not like cattle which
you often can leave alone.
The biggest problem in rais
ing sheep today is getting qua
lified help as shepherds.
"There just aren't any good
sheep herders available ,any
more and those who are,, ccom
mand high wages," Frlschknecht
said.
A sheep providing both wool
and meat is one of the few
farm animals that if cared for
properly can return the farmer
more than It is worth.
A $40 ewe will return more
than her value in lambs and
wool each year if properly
eared for, the farm specialist
said.
He said that a ewe can pro
of $45. "This is close to a top,
however. Frischknecht said.
One area of future potential
in Umatilla and Morrow Coun
ties is to produce winter ew
lambs because of the mild local
winters. He said the animals
could be sold to range peopl
throughout the Northwest.
A big problem of sheepmen
Is predators, especially dogs
close to populated areas.
Frlschknecht said that dogs in
the Willamette Valley killed
over $1,000 worth of lambs at
one farmer's place In a single
night. Dog-tight fences are cost
lv to erect.

SCIENCE AUTHOR SPEAK
Stan Addison, Heppner High

Phoenix recently where he heard
author Harry Wong speak at
the National Science Teachers
Assn. meeting. Mr. Wong is the
author of a text presenting a
new program in science. The dy
namic speaker explained the
new approach as Ideas, Invest!

WATCH FOR THE GREEN AND BLACK
Phil Cohn of C and B Live
stock Yards in Hermiston, which
markets about 100,000 lambs a
year, spoke about marketing
lamb and wool.
Veterinarian Donald Bailey of
Roseburg discussed problems of
sheep raising and management
to the group of about 40 people.
Arranging the meeting was
Norton Taylor, county agent
from Milton -Freewater.
(Tri-City Herald)
from Georgia Taclflc dustfall
station records on file at Line
oln County Circuit Court as part
of a civil complaint case.
Two equations used by the
economists measure the effect
on market price of tee of
house, size of lt. quality of
housing, number of bedrooms,
county manufacturing payroll,
and air pollution in dustfall tons
per square mile per month.
During the six-year study
period, an average of 20 tons
per square mile per month of
dustfall were recorded, net of
normal background. tNormal
backgroundd level of dust
fall falling In tho absence of
Industrial or other unnatural
contamination of the area for
Toledo was estimated to be 10
tons per square mile per
month.)
At the 20 tons per square mile
per month pollution level, the
average proierty price was es
timated to bo $7,900. A redue
tion In air pollution by 20 tons
would result In average proper
ty values Increasing to $8,490,
or 8 per cent, said the economists.
They pointed out that the
two equations have general ap
plication In estimating margin
al social costs (or benefits)
which result from changes In

to be levied to Impose the costs
of pollution upon the matter.
Stoevener and Jaksch recom
mended more emphasis In ex
perimenting with organizational
structures so air quullty can be
managed. They also recommen
ded a more careful placement
of air quality measuring sta
tions for better data which can
be coordinated with Information
from a meteorological station.
Important sinv meteorological
conditions greatly influence the
distribution of particulate fan
out.
Said the economists:
"Results of this study also
suggest certain directions which
future research might profitably
take in attempting to under
stand the effects of pollution
upon the value of land. These
would Include the development
of models to explain the effects
of air pollution upon commer
