Thonc plants, farmers fear, may
demand moro water than can be
spared from basin farmlands.
A survey of the amount of seep
ate and drainage alter Irrigation
ui was suggested as a possibility
for finding out the extent of the
danger of water loss between Up
per Klamath liikn and other re
servoirs and the final draining Into
Klamath river.

A farm safety survey something
new and unique among Orcgonlnns
has been Initiated In Klumalh

C. L. 8am Brown and Verne
Kdley, Klamath field representa
tives of the accident commission,
and Safety Engineer Jim Wiles of
the commission's Salem office were
on hand lor the organizational
meeting.
No representatives from Lake
count? were present as Uie early
lormullon stage had not planned
to be effective on such a wide
scale. However, as plans pro
gressed. It became Imparative that
the eastern county should be In
cluded In the plans since It be
longs to the same economic unit
as Klamath county.
Safety Eng. Jim Wiles exhibited
a sample "larm accident report"
card which he plans to revamp
for official use In the survcv here.
The card . will be distributed
through local organizations as com
pletely as possible. There has
been no other way to determine Uie
extent and number of injuries on
farina anywhere until the present
plan was established.
It's aucceas, according to Wiles,
depends on Uie cooperation of Uie
puullc.
Also on tiand for the meeting
were Arthur Egglcston, larm labor
olflcer. Slate Employment Serv
ices' Klamath Falls ofilcc; Mike
Williams, master, Pomona Urangc,
Hub Wilson, president, Klamath
County Junior Farmers; Fred

Charlie Henderson.
The above group Is only the Initi
al group to be involved in the pro-
.gram, new
Chalrman KlIpalNcK
pointed out. More and more are to
be a.skcd to Join as time goes on.
Wiles pointed out that the survey
Is costing virtually nothing to Uie
Mate, and farm organizalons vot
ing to give tho program backing
won't be out a cent, it was em
phasized. The safety program Is being tried
here almost as an experiment
which Brown and Edncy have in
dicated could be put Into practice
elsewhere in Oregon If proved suc
cessful here.

'52 Income
May Drop,
Is Outlook
Oregon farmers will have more
and spend more money In '52
That's the first of the year out
look as seen by Oregon State col
lege agricultural economists In a
new agricultural sltuaUon and out
look just off the press. Copies are
uvalluble through any county ex
tension office or directly from osc.
It's going to be a case of "in
one pocket, out the other" with
more and more emphasis on the
"out." says M.D. Thomas, exten
sion economist who sees climbing
costs during the next 12 months.
in view of mis, net incomes may
fade a little, he adds.
Farmers in Oregon as well as
those in other states will write
higher figures on checks to pay
taxes, wages, and lor personal liv
ing expenses.
The new outlook circular con
tains a special article which dis
cusses farm marketings of the
state's farm nroducts during the
past quarter century, 'ine outstana
ing Influence on farm prices gen
erally, the circular savs. has been
the upward swing in employment
and Incomes. Doubling and trebling
of consumer purchasing power dur
ing tne 1940 s has contributed con
siderably to the remarkable rise
in both prices and receipts from
sale of Oregon farm products.
Farm production expenses na
tionally, hitting a new all-time high
in 1951. are expected to total about
$22,500,000. Prices paid lor such
commodities as Interest, taxes and
wages averaged 125 per cent above
prewar and about 10 per cent more
than In 1950.
The high cost of doing business,
Thomas says, is a major hazard
In the future for farmers. Costs are
certain to stay high In 1952 and
will decline less rapidly than prices
