The estimates in table 1 do not include value of poultry or poultry products
consumed on farms but are intended to represent income to farmers from the sale of
these products. As can be seen from this table, the Willamette Valley, District 1,
accounted for about 70 per cent of all cash receipts in the state in 19148. Marion
county with nearly 5 million dollars led other counties of the state followed by
Clackamas, Lane, Yainhill, Washington, and Linn.
In table 2 an estimate is made, by counties, to show total production, average

production in Clackainas arid Jane counties, District 1, was estimated to be over 2
million pounds. Other counties reporting chicken production in excess Of 1 million
pounds were Marion, Washington, Douglas, Linn, and Yainhill. In cash receipts
District 1 accounted for about 58 per cent o the income from the sale of chickens.
As can be seen from table 3, 62 per cent of all chicken eggs produced in the
state in 19148 were produced in the Willamette Valley, District 1. Next highest producing district was the Southern Oregon counties, District 3, 13 per cent; followed
by the Coast and Lower Columbia counties, District 2, 8 per cent; the Snake River
Basin counties, District 5, 5 per cent. Lane county in District 1 led other counties
in both tctal production and cash receipts from farm marketings of chicken eggs in
Other counties with production estimates of over one million dozen eggs were
19143.

S
Farm income from the sale of turkey eggs and poults, while not of too great
importance in the eastern part of Oregon, is a fairly important item in the Wi11antte
Valley, as can be seen from table 5. Yamhill county was reported to have been the
leading county in the state in 19148 both in turkey hatching eggs sold and turkey
poults sold. Average prices recejred by farmers fvQm the sale of turkey eggs and
poults were fairly uniform between counties in the Willamette Valley with turkey
eggs at 35 cents and turkey poults at 85 cents each.
Table 6 shows the estimated number of chickens on hand, by counties in Oregon,
The WiUa,nette Valley, District 1, was the
leading district in number of chickens on hand January 1, 19149 with an estimated
57 per cent of the state total, Clackamas county in District 1 was the high county
followed by Lane, Jariou, and Washington.
In eastern Oregon, Malheur county in
District 5 led other counties in this section, followed closely by Umatilla and
as of January 1, 19147, 19148, and 19149.
Klaxnath.
From the data in table 7 it can be seen that there were less turkeys raised in
the state in 19148 than in 19147 but more in 19149 than in 19148,
Percentagewise the
change by districts as comparing 19149 with 19146 was as follows:
District 1, 9 per
cent increase; District 2, 13 per cent decrease; District 3, 149 per cent increase;
District Li, 5 per cent decrease; District 5, 2 per cent increase; and District 6,
39 per cent decrease. Yaznhill county in District 1 accounted for the largest number
of turkeys raised in 19149.
It will be noted that 90 per cent of all turkeys raised
in the state in 19149 were raised in western Oregon.
Table 8 lists number of ducks raised by counties in the state in 19147, 19148, and
19149 while table 9 shows geese raised. No great change has occurred in either duck
or geese population between 19147 and 19149 in the state. It will be noted, however,
that there was an increase ..in geese while ducks decreased.
Neither of this tjpe of
poultry is raised on a large commercial scale in the state. $ome farms keep small
flocks and a sma11 number are kept on quite a few scattered farms throughout the
state.
Table 10 is a tabulation by counties in Oregon of egg production in 19314, 1939,
This information was compiled from United States Census of Agriculture
publicatioxs of 1935, 19140, and 19145.
and 191414,
Table U in this circular is a breakdown of cash income to farmers in Oregon
from 19140 to 19149 received from the sale of all poultry and poultry products, As
can be seen from the table the total cash receipts from farm marketings in 19149 for
all products listed were down U per cent IrQm the 19148 total and down 5 per cent
from the 19145-19149 average.
The largest drop between. 19148 and. 19149 occurred in
turkeys with the 19149 cash receipts 86 per cent of the 19148 income. The income
figure from ths sale of chicks, geese and guineas was not available for 19147, 19148,
and 19149 at the time of publication of this circular.
In table 12 an estimate is made of the seaso4ial average price and price index
of the four main poultry and poultry products in Oregon.
Decreases will be noted in
each instance between 19148 and 19149.
ay referring to prior data in Extension Bulletin 678, it can be seen that until 19149 there had been a ateady increase in the
seasonal. average price oZ each of these products. The greatest decrease between 19148
and 19149 was noted in the seasonal average price f turkeys which dropped 12.8 cents
per pound or 29 per cent but was 83per cent of the 1935-1939 average, In comparing
the 19149 average price with the l935-1939 index, it can be seen that the greatest
increase was in chicken eggs followed by live chickens.
From information shown in table 13, it will be noted that there were more
chicken eggs produced, more commercial broilers produced, and more turkeys raised
in Oregon in 19)49 than in 19)48, but there were less chickens on hand January 1.
Number of chickens on hand January 1, 19)49 was down slightly from the previous year
and was 92 per cent of the 19)45-19)49 average as shown in the table. Commercial
broiler production in 19)49 was 130 per cent of the 19)48 production and 126 per cent
of the 19)45-19)49 average
There were 8 per cent more turkeys raised in the state in
19)49 as compared to 19)48 but 17 per cent less than the 19)45-19)49 average.
Total hens and pullets on farms in Oregon January 1, 19)49 was estimated at
2,997,000, of which 55 per cent were pullets and )45 per cent hens as shown in table
lii.
The decrease in hens and pullets on hand January 1, 19)49 was about 5 per cent
from the estimate of January 1, 19)48. The total number of hens and pullets kept on
farms during 19)49 was up 1 per cent from the number kept during 19)48. A substantial
increase was noted in the rate of lay per hen between 19)48 and 19)49.
