Residents of the south (creek)

Twinbrookers who are especially
sensitive to the value of trees
were shocked by the plan, since
they had believed that 25 feet on
either side of the creek was re-

This, it seems was a naive in
depreciation of the provisions for

1t was terrific affair and the
committee will be planning some
future fund raising activities.
The community is to be congratu-
lated for the tremendous turnout.
If Wheaton High can do that
kind of job, I'm sure the Pleas
antview PTA can count on more
support for its Saturday movie
program. Kenneth Van Auken,
movie chairman, reports that the
first two Saturdays that movies
were shown, the turnout of the
students was tremendous. But
the last few weeks it has slack
ened considerably.
Every Saturday at the Pleas

les are shown from l to 2:30 pm.
They are now being shown in the
big airy all-purpose room on the
main floor. 1t only costs Is cents
for each child and it is a perfect
way for children to spend their
afternoons.
AS a matter of fact it is one of
the few activities that most
youngsters can walk to and from
without depending upon their
parents to drive them to their
destination.
How about it? Let's all of the
Pleasantview Elementary School

After all it was decided by the
PTA not to do too many fund
raising drives this year, instead
let the kids have fun and the

Managing Farm and Ra1tb
Figures Suggest Standards
For Stock Ranch Efficiency
By MONT SAUNDERSON

have an average size OF livestock enter
prise that must be regarded as low for
efficient operations, and of course the
two smallest of these size classes def
nitely are sub-economic in size The
three lower of the size classes contain
AZ per cent of the ranches and 20 per
cent of the livestock; the three upper
of the size classed contain So per cent
of the ranches and so per cent of the
livestock. The two largest of the size
classes contain Is per cent of the
ranches and 81 per cent of the livestock
of the region.
Standard Division
This economic picture for the ranch
ing of this area is not an extreme one,
measured against the usual situation in
this aspect of our regional or national
rural economy. Rather typically, in
our American rural economy, the larger
one third of the operating units pro-
duce two-thirds of the commercial agri-
cultural product.
Many of these smaller of the ranch
ing units of this region do of course
have some additional small enterprise
besides the livestock, but not enough
to bring them above the small size
classes in terms of gross revenue. The
comment about the inefficiency of size
of the smaller of the size-class ranches
should, too, be modified in some degree
due to the fact that some of the smaller
ranches are part-time operations or a
retirement type of operation for aged
people
The distribution of the livestock num-
Der among the different size classes.
and of the ranching opportunity, is a
fairly favorable one in this region COM
pared with certain of the other major
ranching regions of the western states
Labor Efficiency
Some further analysis of these data
for the livestock ranches of the differ
ent size classes of this region shows
the prevailing worker full-employment
and labor efficiency, as between diff
ferent size classes. On the class l
ranches, an average of 1879 animal units
were operated per man-year of work
time.
Probably this is about the optimun
5 in the labor efficiency, for stock ranch
: ing operations in this region. This is
< rather generally, region with only
; limited requirement in the winter feed
, ing of the livestock. On the class
e ranches, 80 animal units of livestocl
5 were handled per year of worker time
e This figure was 81, AZ, "a and Is TO
/; the class three, four, five and 81
+ ranches, respectively.
Labor Cost Per Head
The class l ranches, which operate
e primarily on a basis of hired labor
Il spent 1891 per animal unit, for til
l. year 1854, for hired labor. This figur
IS was $5.37, $3.50, 1924, $175, and ST q
L respectively, for the class two, three
IS four, five, and six size classes of tn
IS ranches. This means that the Smalle
IS of the size classes of the ranches use
IS primarily operator and family labor, {
would be expected.
S, The usefulness of such figures /;
e. these to the ranch owner, operator al
is manager comes principally when Il
re comparable figures are available fro
or his own operation for analysis of h
ne operation in these terms. The da
ne given above are rather generally a
