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.

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.

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

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."

administration of the Klamath
Falls Elementary Schools invites
the public to take part in Sun
day's fitting tribute to Mrs.
O'Neill.

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

the legislature's enactment pro
viding lor the transfer of Oregon
Tech into the System of Higher

maintained to the present, but the

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."
While the agency has jurisdic
tion only over interstate advertis
ing, it said any questionable
claims found outside its authority
would be referred to the Pentagon
for further action at state and
local levels."
The FTC also reported that it
planned to draft special advertis
ing guides for sellers of shelters,
survival kits and related equipment.
