Survey to provide economic information

neighbors this summer-some
very nosy neighbors.
The new neighbors actual
ly are tour students from
Oregon State University who
will be conducting a survey in
Morrow County and their
"nosy" questions are for a
good reason.
The Morrow County Court
has commissioned Oregon
State University to do a
special $16,000 Extension Ser
vice study evaluating the
economic structure of the
county. In order to do so, the
surveyors need to collect in
formation on pattern of sales,
payrolls and purchases
among the governm ent,
households, businesses,
farms and ranches in Morrow
County and the economic in
teraction between them and
with other entities outside the
county. The county govern
ment hopes to use the infor
mation to analyze the impact
of changes in economic activi
ty in Morrow County, such as
the loss of a business, grazing,
or irrigation, for example. The
information could also assist
present and prospective
businesses in determining
their goals and identifying op
portunities for diversification.
"Morrow County is at a hell
of a crossroads," said Morrow
County Commissioner Don
