FIRST MONTHLY RETURNS iNol-
CATE INDUSTRIES WORK.
ING BELOW NORMAL.
SCARCITY OF LABOR AND
MATERIALS THE REASONS
Few Factories Report Production Of
100 Per Cent Normal, But a Majority
Show Operations Are Below Normal
Unusual Activity in Building Of
Additions an Eniarging Plants.

The effect Of conditions produced by
the war on local manufactures e
shown in the first of the monthly re-
ports required by the federal employ
ment bureau. The first of these re-
ports from most of the factories in
this city have now been filed with the
county labor committee. They show
that a majority of local industries
are being operated below their normal
capacity. A few, however. report that
they are working at 100 per cent OF
their capacity.
The reports show that while most
Of the factories are working either well
up to their normal capacity or at full
capacity Others are far below. One
factory reported SO per cent of normal
production and another so per cent
while still others ranged from 70 to 80
per cent of normal.
Varying causes, all Of which are at
tributable to war conditions, are given
as the reasons, the commonest two
being lack of labor and scarcity OF
materials. In a few cases the shut
down of production OF other industries
upon which local industries are de-
pendent to furnish a market for their
products. Is given as a cause Of re-
stricted output.
Much Factory Building.
In spite of this condition there have
not been many times when there has
been so much expansion in factory
building as just now. Additions and
enlarsements Of plants are being built
now for the combined IaPlant Com
pany, Bogardus Nelson Company and
the Lennox Throatless Shear Com
pany; the c. A. Durham Company,
and the Fisher Governor Company.
The brass foundry Of the Walter H.
Prier Company is being built, and the
American Machine Products Company
is remodeling the Sieg estate building
in Market street preparatory to NOV
ing.

bags of sacked wheat for the new
crop Of 1918, # was announced yes
terday in San Francisco by r. A.
Levin, second vice president of the
Grain Corporation o6 the United
States food administration and zone
agent for California, Nevada and
Arizona. The new price amounts to
an increase iof about II cents a box
over allowance for the 1917 crop and
will assure the farmer an adequate
return on the price he has to pay for
new bags, 1t was said.
There has been agitation over the
high prices being asked for bags for
the new crop. A full investigation
was held last week in Washington be-
fore the war trade bureau and the ev-
idence went to show the present high
prices are due to the high prices de-
manded for bags in Calcutta and not
to any speculation on the part of the
bag men here.

UMATILLA COUNTY
HOLDS RECORD IN
THE FARM SURVEY

Though it has only been two weeks
since the farm survey of Umatilla
county was started, to date 81 12 per
cent of the farms of the county have
been reported on, according ito NJ 5.
Shrock. county agricultural agent
who has had charge of the work. This
percentage is the highest attained in
any county of the state though the
survey was started two weeks late in
this county. Mr.. Shrock expects 10
get reports on the other 1-2 per
cent soon.
Among other interesting statistics
in the report is the number of farm
horses listed for sale. Farmers re-
ported a total of ESQ horses for sale
against 1879 which other farmers want
ed. These statistics indicate that the
tractor is replacing the horse on the
farm. Mr.. Shrock will endeavor to
get in touch with the army officers
who are buying horses in the north
west.
A great number of farmers are in
need of seed wheat for spring sowing
according to the reports, and the
county agent is trying to supply their
needs. He has just learned of four
or five cars of Early Barrt which can
be had. This is a comparatively new
wheat but has been proved a good
variety for this county. The Farmers
Union recently shipped in several
cars.
In taking the survey Mr.. Shrock
had the assistance of many farmers
all over the county.
