F arm Bureau
Convention Slated
F o r Pendleton
“ A g r i c u l t u r e Facing th e
Challenge . . . W ill Fam ily
Farm ing Die With Father?” la
the theme for the 1966 Oregon
Farm Bureau federation con
vention In P e n d le t o n Nov.
13-16, according toJam esKes-
aler, M ilton-Freew ater, con
vention chairman.
The convention program la
being developed around this
question with special empha
sis on the young people In ag
riculture today. An estimated
750 to 1000 persons are ex
pected to attend the four-day
meeting which is devoted to de
termining Farm Bureau policy
for 1967.
The theme was one suggested
by the U m atilla County F arm
Bureau and came from the
growing concern that agricul
ture may be neglecting Its most
I m p o r t a n t crop— Its young
people.
According to Kessler, many
young men and women are be
ing trained each year to take
th eir place on the farm s and
ranches of Am erica but when
they graduate from their tra in
ing they find that It is virtu ally
Impossible to get a start In
farming because of rising costs
and land values.
Thus frustrated, said Kes
s le r, these young people turn
to other Industries or to Jobs
In businesses serving agricul
ture. This leaves a void not
now being filled on the farm s
and ranches vhlch. Increasingly
r e q u i r e the top minds fo r
management.
Kessler observed that In his
area the Farm Bureau members
are getting older and there
are fewer and fewer young men
taking part In the decisions im
portant to agriculture because
there are fewer young men
farm ing.
»
It Is the purpose of the con
vention this year to bring this
problem cle arly Into focus and.
to develop a positive program
for bringing young people Into
farming and into the decisions
of agriculture, Kessler ex
plained. “ If we do not do some
thing about the increasing
scarcity of our. most Im por
tant crop,’ r Kessler s a id ,
“ fam ily farm ing, In fact, all
farming, w ill die with fathft-.“
County Farm Bureaus ln O re -
gon w ill be asked to encourage
th eir under-35 members to
attend the convention and w ill
be asked In addition to pay a
p re-reg istratio n fee for at least
one young couple from their
group.

Tourist Inquiries
The message that Oregon Is
the place to visit is evidently
getting around, as the State
Highway Department received
almost 200,000 pieces of m a ll-
during the past season Inquirí ng
about tourist fac ilitie s, It was
announced today by Forrest
Cooper, state highway engineer.
The more than 198,000cards,
letters and other pieces of mall
received by the Highway De
partment during the 12-month
period ending Sept. 19 repre
sent the largest total ever re
ceived, Cooper said. The high
est previous total was in 1962,
when 182,000 queries were re
ceived. In 1965, questions came
from 177,130 potential visitors.
Most requests were answered
by forwarding a copy of U ieD e*
partm ent’ s new, 32-page color
brocure, “ Oregon . . . fo o l
Green Vacatlonland,’ ’ along
with additional m aterial ta ilo r
ed to meet the individual re
quest, such as fishing, camp
ing, rockhoundlng, and s lm lla t
Item s.
Although the department’ s
survey of tourism for 1966 has
not been completed, the m all
Inquiries and reports from Ore
gon resorts, motels, and cham
bers of commerce give every
Indication that expenditures w ill
exceed the $250 m illion spent by
out-of-state visitors in 1965.
It Is expected this report w ill
be ready early In November.
