Family labor made up about
70 percent of Oregon's total
farm labor force last year and
composed an even larger per
centage of the farm labor force
on a national basis. Farm labor
along the Pacific coast was
most in demand in September,
due to the harvest of many
California crops.
Between 1945 and 1961, the
number of farm workers drop

cording to Mrs. Horrell. The
number o f persons supplied
with farm products by one farm
worker nearly doubled during
the same period as a result of
increased mechanisation.

Oregon State Geologist Discovering
Fascinating Facts in Wallowa Area
An Oregon State university geologist is making the first
detailed study of Oregon’s Wallowa Mountain! and his field
work is producing some fascinating findings on rocks, miner
als and mountain history.
Dr. William H. Taubeneck started his study of the rugged
northeastern Oregon mountains in 1956 He expects to spend
at least five more summers ♦--------------------------------------
in the field work before he is been found in rock samples taken
ready to write a final compre by Taubeneck, who spends his off
hensive report on the Wal hours from teaching in the winter
lowas which are a key area for studying the physical and chemi
interpreting the continental evo
lution of western North America.
The Wallowa Mountains are
vastly different than the Cas
cades, Taubeneck points out. The
Cascades are a volcanic range
composed of rocks less than 60
million years in age, whereas the
Wallowas are an uplifted block of
the earth’s crust, composed most
ly of granite and sedimentary
rocks ranging in age between 100
and 240 million years.
Since the Wallowas were “hoist
ed up,” time and erosion have
severely modified these moun
tains, producing the sharp, rug
ged features that now distinguish
them, Taubeneck added.
Some unique minerals have!
cal properties of specimens gath
ered during the summer months.
Currently, Taubeneck is obtain,
ing more precise information re
garding these unique minerals in
order to better interpret the earth
processes involved in the forma
tion of rocks such as those of the
Wallowas.
The Wallowa range covers ap
proximately 700 square miles and
its tallest peaks reach up nearly
10,000 feet. Although Taubeneck’s
research program will provide de.
tailed geological maps of the
mountains, his studies are pri
marily directed toward a more
complete understanding of the
evolution of western North Am
erica.
