There is a bumper crop of valley quail, and shot gunners are missing an excel lent bet by not concentrating on these birds. Mountain quail pop ulations are also quite high in many areas.

For one thing, Coppedge says, fewer farmers and larger farms are producing the food and fiber for a rapidly-growing popul ation. In 1950, for example, the average size Oregon farm was 335 acres. By 1968, the aver age size had increased to 504 acres. During the same time, the average U. S. farm in creased from 213 to 369 acres. Although net farm income in Oregon is on the rise, (an in crease of $800 per farm from 1960 to 1967) expenditures are also going up. The farmer in Oregon spent $442 million in 1967 to produce his crops. The majority of these expenditures are made to Oregon business men. For example, farmers spent $109 million for feed, seed and fertilizer in 1967. FEWER FARMERS EXPENSES KEEP PACE The farm population in Ore gon dropped from 228,000 in 1950 to 138,000 in 1960 and the number of farms decreased from 62,600 in 1950 to 41,500 in 1968. In 1950 one farm work er supplied 15 people with food and fiber while he now pro duces enough for more than 40 people. More than 100,000 persons are employed in agriculture or agri-business jobs in Oregon, or more than one-seventh of the total work force. Those emp loyees, according to Coppedge, buy clothing, gasoline, enter tainment, insurance policies, houses and all the other stand- and items in the economy. Production expenses have kept pace with cash receipts over the last seven years.Cash receipts were $100 million more last year than in 1960, but the increase in production expenses also topped $100 mil lion during the same period. Total net income to Oregon farmers declined slightly in 1967 from the 1966 level, but was higher than in 1960. That year, the total net Income was $129.1 million and the 1967 income estimate was $147.6 million. Total net income per farm was $3,514 last year, com pared to $2,747 in 1960.
