Census data show half of Oregon farms were part-time in 1944 with 50.8 percent reporting gross farm product values under 1200 dollars. Prices rose from 1938 to 1944 and many small farms rely on nonfarm income to sustain living standards.
Oregon official George F. E. Sandy explains that government terminal leave checks differ from terminal leave bonds. Bonds are non negotiable and payable five years after discharge for leave over 60 days, while post August 31, 1946, service members receive terminal leave payments up to 60 days with bonds only for excess leave.
National data show one third of farms produced about $400 on average, the middle third about $1500, and roughly 5 percent exceeded $10 008 in 1944. The figures illustrate wide gaps in farm output and earnings across the sector.
