WILL ENTERTAIN DAIRYING COSTS ..4 IN LOCAL AREA Oregon Experiment Station Survey Shows Alfalfa Re gions Have Advantage Wide Variance. OREGON STATE COLLEGE, Corvalliu, Doc. 12. (Spl) Two preliminary reports on farm pro duction costa in Oregon have juHt been mado by the Oregon experi ment station covering dairy pro duett), which tend to emphasize the wide difference in results ob tained by farmers under varying conditions and methods within one state. . The data gathered are from ac- 4 tual surveys made by personal con tact with hundreds of dairymen in all principal regions of the state for these industries. They were 1 made by specialists of the farm management department working ' under the provisions of the l'urnell hilt which provides federal funds for such economic investigations. Cost 26 Cents in 1920 The average cash cost of pro ducing butterfat in Oregon in 1929 was 26 cents a pound, and the to tal Including such non-cash costs qs Interest on investment, family lu bo r and home grown feed, ' reached the surprising total of 50 cents a pound. These were the ave rage figures based on the produc tion of mora than 2,000,000 pounds of butterfat from 8734 cows on I G5t representative Oregon dairy furms. Costs for930, it is pointed out, are somewhat lower as. the result of lower feed prices, which effect will be brought out in a continu ation of the study another year on the same farms. With the present price of butterfat around 30 cents a pound, an unsatisfactory return to the average dairyman is ap parent, the specialists point out. Few Hold Cost Down Only five per cent of the dairies studied kept the total costs below 30 cents, and 17 per cent kept them below 40 cents. Ten per cent, on the other hand, had costs above 70 cents. High producing cows and cheap feed were the factors tend ing to keep production costs down. Lowest production costs thus far were found in the Irrigated alfalfa sections of eastern and southern Oregon. In these regions tho ave rage costs were 43 centB as com pared with 4H cents for the coast regions and 65 eentB for the Wil lamette valley. Lack of summer pastures is the .chief cause of high .costs' in the Willamette , valley, while high investment tended to raise costs on tho coast, though higher market, returns there offset this disadvantage, the report staes. . , Efficiency in hay production and high producing cows were invar iably reflected In lower butterfat costs, tho survey shows.. finini iiuinwHwwiwuMiiiuiiiiwBUWiitimi3iffliwitBniwniW' I?!
