The per cent of consumer income spent for red meat in 1962 came to 4.71 per cent, the same as in 1961. The retail value of beef con sumed per person in 1962 was es timated at $55.30, up almost 5 per cent from a year earlier and 47 per cent abovo the corresponding! value 10 years earlier. The in.

So the weights and measures In spector is almost universally wel comed with open arm:, declares W. B. Sleelc, deputy state seal er. Steele directs 12 full time in spectors and three part time men who check these devices for ac curacy. Last year these men checked 38.584 devices used in buying and selling. About half of them were scales of all kinds and sizes, ranging from small ones at candy counters to gigantic ones used to weigh a truckluad of animals or a carload of wheat. Poultry Gets Shellacking Past Years WASHINGTON (UPll-Despitc boom in production and con sumption of poultry and eggs the last 10 years, gross farm income from these commodities has taken a shellacking. In a review of the poultry and egg situation, the Agriculture De partment reports that gross farm income from poultry and eggs in the 48 contiguous states in 12 was $3.3 billion. This compares; with gross income of $3.6 billion in 1952. Gross Income Is made up of cash receipts plus the value of home consumption. Between 1952 and 1962, broiler production increased 163 per cent; turkey numbers went up 55 per, cent; egg output jumped 8 per cent: and production of farm chickens declined 43 per cent. But because of sharply lower prices for each of the commodi ties, gross income from eggs and farm chickens was down a quar ter billion dollars each, essential ly unchanged for turkeys, and up only $300 million for broilers. Income by product in 12 was: Eggs, $1.8 billion: broilers, $1 bil- lon ; turkeys, $400 million; and farm chickens, $100 million. I The department said that be tween 1952 and 1982, gross income from poultry and eggs increased: in only 12 of the 48 states. Eight of these states were in the South nd Southeast and included: Ar kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia. Florida, South, Carolina, and North Carolina. The other four were Maine, California, Maryland, and Arizona. Broiler, egg, and turkey in comes in these states were all higher in 1902 than in 1952, ex- opt for Georgia and Alabama where income from turkeys de nied. Declines in income from poultry nd eggs were concentrated in tile east north central, the west north; entral, and the middle Atlantic! regions. The north central regions produced 47 per cent of the na tion s eggs in 1952. Ten years later the two regions produced mly 39 per cent, as egg produc tion had shifted to (he south and est. Hie department said prices to producers for broilers and turkeys! One of the Important factors In in 12 rebounded sharply from the increase in cattle numbers, the extremely depressed levels of Neat Per Person Shows Increase Over Country WASHINGTON (UPD-The Ag-icrcasc in retail value from 1901 to riculture Department estimates 1962 was the result of an in- the retail value of meat consumed crease in per capita consumption per person in 1962 at $96.68, up of 1 per cent and a rise of 2 per! cent in the average retail price of all beef. Retail expenditure per person for pork in 1962 was $34, up $1.10 from the previous year. This re tail value of pork consumed, how ever, was 6 per cent below the 10 - year earlier expenditure of $36.30. Similarly, the retail value of other red meats consumed veal, lamb, and mutton de clined during the 10-year period. These meats contributed $7.38 to total retail value of red meals consumed In 1962, whereas in 1952 the contribution was $8.10. A dozen states, representing the Midwestern breadbasket, t h e Southwest, and the West, account ed for more than half the 52.1 bil lion pounds of live weight produc tion in cattle, hogs, and sheep in 1962. Iowa was the heaviest producer, with more than 7.1 billion pounds of live weight cattle, hogs, and sheep. wto commit Msraji iw smfmitior iupct, m uum win mi an setam ouMnUMi CV.OUTIW. rlGUr.Li THRU :V ;:. ,' i X.riU) BY 0.uiOO(.-;arViJ.lA fOTIO OOHanai, P.O.

Commercial calf slaughter dipped from 119 million head in. 11)37 to 7.5 million head in 1962, the smallest since 1939, Part of the explanation of the drop in calf slaughter lies in the decline of (lie dairy herd down 2 6 million head since 1MB.. A more Important factor has been the strong demand for feeder cat tle. Cattle feeders have bid calves away from packers in large num bers in recent years.

The Increase broiler prices occurred even though production actually was up a little. The department said much of I the recovery in poultry prices Increased agricultural produc tion can mean greater employ ment, population and retail sales to a rural area, according to re search conducted by Oregon State University Agricultural Experi ment Station economists. Their findings were made while studying the secondary benefits of an irrigation project to an area. The study dealt with the impact of the North Unit Deschutes Irri gation Project on Jefferson Coun ty and the city of Madras. Making the study were Dr. Em cry N. Castle. OSU agricultural economist, and Norman D. Kim ball, OSU graduate student now with Economic Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, stationed at the University of Wis consin. In making their findings, the economists assumed that Jeffer son County would have grown at the same rate as the rest of Ore gon if the project had not been established. Rate of growth above the stale average was then attrib uted to the irrigation project. The researchers found that with each $10,000 increase in agricul tural production, measured in 1!M9 dollars, employment in the area increased 3.3B men during the 19117. 49 period and 1.63 men from 1944- 54. Population increased 7.79 per sons and 3.15 persons, respective- ly. during the same periods. Retail sales increased approxi mately 70 cents for every SI of increased agricultural production The two time periods cover "be fore and after" situations. By 1949. nearly all 50.000 acres of the proj ect were receiving water, but the full influence on production had yet to be felt, Dr. Castle said. Before 1949. farmers were be ployment and population growth The figures do suggest, he said. a greater impact of an irrigation project on employment than will be experienced after a project has been in operation for some time. More impact on employment services. The figures also show, that after community facilities are established, further production in creases do not result in a pro portionate increase in these facili ties because stores and marketing facilities established in anticipa-j lion frequently provide excess ca-! pacity. soected on the Oregon market last year, state department of ag riculture records show. But Kenneth E. Carl, dairy and consumer services division chief, ooints out that the department's three egg inspectors con actually candle only a relatively small per centage of the eggs marketed annually. Assuming Oregon residents con sume eggs at the same per capi ta rate as the remainder of the country, consumers here used more than 46 million dozen eggs last year. This includes volume going into prepared foods. Carl says inspectors issued 563 grade violations on the 10,600 lots of eggs inspected. A lot may rep resent a few dozen eggs or it may represent a condsiderable number of cases, each contain ing 30 dozen eggs. The state checks eggs for quali ty (grade by candling and for size by weighing. Only 16 size viola two quality notches to Grade B. Inspectors cover all retail out lets at least once a year and the larger market outlels several times during the year. During the last fiscal year, 962 egg dealer permits $2 each I w ere issued by the department. About one-third U69 of these permit holders paid the egg case tax required of dealers who sell more than 200 cases of eggs a year. would have been felt, the studyito create more than enough jobs tions were found. notes, if the crops grown in the area required greater local proces sing. The economists note business ac tivity indicators show a less than proportionate increase to the increase of agricultural produc tion. This suggests excess ca pacity existed in the area prior for farmers forced to seek off farm, employment. Many discon tinued farming primarily because original farm units in the project were too small, they point out.

However, business activity the project area was stimulated In the candling process to de termine quality or grade of eggs, the inspector passes the eggs in front of a portable light box to determine condition of the meat inside the shell. As result of this operation, about 15.000 dozen eggs were degraded. Of this number. o nnn J I..I lJ A A uating alternate development ' .
