Study Determines Operation Costs
The larger the home freezer
the more electricity it can be ex
pected to uss. This fact may not
be surprising, says Don Coin Wal
rod, county extension agent, but
other figures gathered in a study
of costs of home freezer operation
may not be quite so obvious.
Through cost studies it was
found that the amount of food
frozen and stored has relatively
little effect on th? electric bill.
However, th? cumulative cost of
ownership, including depreciation,
interest on investment and ser
vices and repair charges are from
two to three times the annual
costs of electricity.
No significant difference was
found in the operation costs of
chest and unright types. Records
also showed that differences in
typ • and thicknesses of insulation
used in freezers

The somewhat different use
of an idea sometim.s catches hold
and the result may be better
than anticipated.
It’s working
that way for the March of Dimes
started Saturday morning on the
counter at Vike’s cafe. Early that
day a contributor to the dimes
fund placed 10 of the coins on the
counter and the line had grown
until by Wednesday morning
there were 180.
A sign explains the purpose of
the coins so there can be no mis
taking the worthwhile cause for
which restaurant patrons are
asked to contribute. It will be
interesting to see the distance the
dimes have marched by the time
the current drive ends.
manufacturers were not enough
to affect appreciably the amount
of electricity usd
Freezers of less than 10 cubic
feet capacity in unheated loca-
tions used up to 62 kilowatt hours
a month. Those from 10 to 15
cubic feet used between 45 and
68 kwh; those from 15 to 20
ranged from 70 to 94 kwh, while
the 20 to 30 cubic feet freezers
used 82 to 122 kwh average per
month.
Where freezers were locat d in
heated rooms, cost of operation
went up 10 to 17 p:r cent, says
Walrod.

VEGETABLES and FRUITS
Every motorist has observed
cans and bottles along the road
sides, the work of litterbugs, and
is occasionally confronted with
attempting to dodge broken glass
from a bottle to avoid tire dam
age. This litter is definit.ly not
needed and a member of the
Oregon State Motor association
has a suggestion that might help
prevent th? tossing of bottles
from cars. It is:
"You cannot prevent the prac- (
tice by passing laws against it.
You must make the container
valuable enough that it will hurt
the pocketbook to throw it away.”
That might just be an excellent
method to stop his type of high
way litter if the deposit were
sufficiently high, say at least 25
cents on each container.

Peppermint rust that knocked
out 20 per cent of Oregon’s $4
million mint production last year
has been controlled experiment
ally by Oregon StatCollege.
Findings will be reported at the
annual meeting of Oregon Essen
tial Oil Growlers league on the
OSC campus, January 28 and 29.
Chester E. Hornsr, OSC plant
pathologist, says the college ex
pects commercial spray recom
mendations to be made as soon as
final clearance is given showing
no off-flavor effects. The control
has already cleared with two of
the major mint oil outlets in the
country.
Horner says the disease, a na
tive of Oregon, last year made its
most serious inroads in the state
since it first became a problem
four years ago.
Damage was
highest in Columbia county where
up to 60 per cent of production
was lost.
