The rale of increase matched:
the hike in per capita disposable
income from 1J61 to 1962. 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

Scale Check
Makes Hit
Of the tens of thousands of in
spections made during the course
of a year by personnel oi the state
department of agriculture, proba
bly none makes quite the hit with
the inspected as checks of scales
and fuel oil meters.
Hie reason Is that business can
lose pari of Us profits from scales
that give (lie customer more than
that to which ho is entitled or
(.'asoline pumps that do likewise .
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

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

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.

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.

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

B.
Inspectors cover all retail out
lets at least once a year and
the larger market outlels several
times during the year.

area required greater local proces

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

tinued farming primarily because
original farm units in the project
were too small, they point out.
