OREGON Week Proclaimed National Farm-City Week has been proclaimed by President Nixon to be from November 21 to November 27, states Warren Henninger, Malheur County Ex tension Agent. The purpose of this week is to create and to promote a better understanding between urban and rural people, as well as to show the import ance of agriculture to Oregon’s economy. The general public of this ag ricultural area is aware of the importance of agriculture to the economy of this area but may not be as aware of the impor tance of agriculture to economy of Oregon and of the nation, states Henninger. Oregon's agriculture is made up of larger farms with large investments and high mechani zation. The average farm has 510 acres, half again the size in 1950. Total investment in real estate is $2.9 billion, two and a half times the 1950 level. Fewer higher paid farm workers have combined with more machinery to raise output per man hour in the national farm sector by over 70 percent in the past decade, while the private non farm sector’s productivity has increased about one third. The typical farm worker today provides 43 people with food and fiber, nearly triple the 1950 amount of 15 people, reports Henniger.

MILLON LEAVES NO EXAGGERATION, EXPERTS CLAIM Leaf rakers who say there are "millions of leaves in our yard” may be exaggerating only a little, according to tree experts at Oregon State University. The forestry and horticulture experts give these leaf count extimates: Mature apple and maple trees have about 100,000 leaves; pear trees, about 85,- 000-90,000; cherry trees, which are usually larger, 100,000 plus. A giant elm may have as many as 1,000,000, however. Anda 20-inch oak has about 200,000 leaves, compared to 100,000 for a 14-inch oak. On most hardwoods -- madrones, oak, sycamore, ect. -- there’s about a half acre of leaf surface. One final note. Be thankful you don’t have to rake pine and fir needles. A big Douglas- fir is estimated to have some 3,000,000 needles; a small pine tree, about 500,000. “ Just because you live on a farm Protect your stock . . . and your profits . . . with our fortified feeds.
