RALD AND NEWS, Klamath Falls, Ore. Sunday, October 22, 1961 PAGE J-A U.S. Census Shows Fewer American Farms, Females Outnumber Males Today, one in 12 Americans is a farm resident. Four decades ago. when separate figures for the farm population first were pub lished by the Bureau of the Cen sus, about three in 10 Americans lived on farms. The ratio or males to females in the U.S. population is 97 to 100. One hundred years earlier, males outnumbered females 105 to 100, according to records of the Bureau of the Census. The Bureau of the Census has published 1960 Census of Popula tion figures for each of 16,088 in corporated places, whose com bined population was 115.9 mil lion, nearly two-thirds of the 50 state total of 179.3 million. According to the 1960 Census, the median age of the U.S. pop- Land Use Survey Shows Reservation Irrigation Some 400 acres of land within the Klamath Indian Reservation has been put under irrigation from surface stream since 1957, ac cording to a survey of land use in the reservation. The survey, just completed, was conducted by William L. Wales Jr., consulting engineer. Wales wasMigaged for the study by the Klamath River Compact Commis sion in January, 1960. The report shows that, prior to 1957, the effective date of the Klamath River Basin Compact, 130,574 acres of reservation land were irrigated. A breakdown of land within the reservation indicates a total of 5,982 acres irrigated from wells, 12,150 acres of nonirrigated farm land, and 1,290 acres devoted to urban areas. Total acreage of all land inventoried in the survey is 150,397 acres. Wales is currently engaged in surveying lands within the basin in Oregon which are not part ot the Klamath Indian Reservation. Purpose of the surveys is to de termine acreages within the basin under irrigation from surface wa ters prior to 1957. The two-state compact provides for a maximum of 200.000 additional acres in Ore gon and 100,000 acres in Califor nia which can be put under irriga tion within the basin after the ef fective date of the compact. New School Dedicated (Continued From 1) portunity to lend her wealth of ex perience toward helping solve the problems of boys and girls. For 18 years she furthered the prog ress of the Klamath Falls Library as a board member. The county Child Guidance Clinic Board has benefited by her counseling. f Within the realm of women's Community social and service groups, the Klamath Falls Sorop timist Club made her an honorary affiliate after many years of mem bership and named her "Soropti mist of the Year." As a state honorary member of outstanding teachers in Delta Kap pa Gamma, Mrs. O'Neill has been included in the honor sorority's publication, Lamplighters ... the Klamath Falls Branch of the American Association of Univer sity Women dedicated a Lucile O Neill grant . . . the Future Teachers of America Chapter of KUHS is named in her honor. In addition, her memberships are in cluded in PEO, the Klamath Falls Library Club and the American Legion Auxiliary. Her enthusiasm and endeavor in the teaching field have not dulled her wit nor her appreciation for the need for relaxation. She probably best known for her love of the pun and for her light pres entation of book chapters in re views. In recounting her wide accom plishmenls, on request, some time ago for a close lnend, norence Pielke, ' also a teacher, Mrs. Ncill said, "Teaching is a pro fession, not a union. Teachers should be trained as members of a profession, paid professionally and treated as professionals. But . . . tliis is no one-sided conclu sion. Teachers must so conduct themselves in their work and in their private lives, that they de serve to be treated as members of an honored profession. Truth should not be considered trite no matter how often it is voiced. "So I can say with deep per ' sonal belief to prospective teach ers, that none should consider en tering the teaching profession un less impelled by a deep love for Children." ': The board of education and the administration of the Klamath Falls Elementary Schools invites the public to take part in Sun day's fitting tribute to Mrs. O'Neill. Merrill Girl Wins Honors Patty Burleigh ot Merrill High1 took first place honors for the second consecutive year in t h c Soil Conservation speech contest held at Midland Grange Hall Thursday evening. In her talk she described prob lems of lam! u. irrigation and drainage on her parents farm near Merrill. She went on to ex plain how these problems are be ing solved and production in creased by changes from dryland to irrigation and other conserva tion practices. Sha and second place winner Gayle Brotherhood of Klamath Union High will compete in the semifinals at Ashland on Oct. 24. Third place was taken by Lois Hobson, also of Merrill High Ten speakers from Klamath and Lake County schools took part in the meet. Coming farthest to par ticipate was Marvin Markus of Silver Lake School. He used illus trations and examples from neigh bors' farms in his talk. The contest is sponsored by the Oregon Association of Soil Con servation Districts each year with finals held at Die association's an nual convention. This year the convention will be in Klamath Falls on Nov. 9 and 10. Master of ceremonies for the area contest won by Miss Bur leigh was Bob Embree of Klam ath Falls, a supervisor of Klam ath Soil Conservation District. Judges were Representative Car rol Howe and Glen Terrier and Adolph Faler of the Modoc Toast- masters Club. Timekeeper was Don Miller, teacher in the Hen ley schools. Plaques and trophies for the contests were furnished by Sim- plot Soilbuilders. Cash prizes for the area contest were contributed by the three soil conservation dis tricts in Klamath County. ulalion is 29.2 years, 28.3 years for men and 30.1 years for women. The median age of men in the Armed Forces abroad is - 24.3 years. The 1960 Census recorded 108.5 million persons of voting age in the United States. The average size of 3.7 million farms counted in the 1959 Census of Agriculture was 302 acres. In 1900, the average size of 5.7 mil lion farms was 146 acres. The Bureau of the Census found the average age of farmers to be SOW years. The 1960 Census accounted for 53 million households with an av erage population of 3.29 persons. The Bureau of the Census re ports that of these, 44.7 million were family households and the remainder were maintained by individuals, or groups of unrelat ed individuals. Married women outnumbered married men, 42.7 million to 42.4 million, in the U.S. in the 1960 Census count. Most of the dif ference is attributable to the ab sence of married men in the Armed Forces abroad and mar ried crewmen of merchant ves sels at sea or in foreign ports, the Census Bureau says. The American Indian population of the United Staes in 1960 was 523,591, according to the 18th De cennial Census. This was more than double the 1900 count of 237,196 reported by the Bureau of the Census. Additional census information is available from the Portland Field Office of the U.S Department of Commerce, 520 S.W. Morrison, Portland 4, Ore.

FTC Probes Shelter Ads WASHINGTON (AP) The Fed eral Trade Commission has stepped in to protect buyers of fallout shelters from false adver tising. The FTC announced Friday that a special staff here and in 10 field offices would monitor all adver tising media in an effort to check advertising for shelters and other civil defense items. The monitors will try to delect exaggerated claims that would mislead or defraud purchasers. The FTC said it was taking the action at the request of the De fense Department "to prevent ir responsible advertisers of shelters from damaging public confidence in the reputable manufacturers whose cooperation with the civil detense program is so neces sary."

(Continued from Page 1) Street Journal story, the whole fu lure of the timbered area of the North Pacific Coast would be revolutionized. As of now, we are compelled to depend' too heavily on the build ing material markets, so that our prosperity rises and falls as build ing, especially home building, rises and falls. We suffer from a cycle of boom and bust. That cy cle could be broken if wider mar kets could be found for our basic raw material which is wood. The picture has another dimen sion. Petroleum is a mineral. It can be exhausted. Sooner or later, pre sumably, it WILL be exhausted. If and when that time comes, our national economy will be affected. Wood is a CROP.
