Inspected and ready for shipment, these
hundreds of hags of fire cones look like so
many sa< ks of potatoes. The product of
forests in the Sandy and Hoodland area, they

FARM BUREAU
FURROW
Farmers are becoming de­
pendent on government handouts
for a growing percentage of their
net Income.
Government
payments to
farmers in 1964 are expected to
reach $2.1 billion, or 17 per cent
of an anticipated net income of
$12.3 billions. During January-
May of this year, payments to­
taled $553 million, nearly 1 1/2
times the $371 million paid dur­
ing the same time a year ago.
Four years ago payments ac­
counted for only 5.9 per cent of
net income, proving that farmers
are depending more and more on
the government for their liveli-
ho<xl. Despite the tremendous in­
crease in subsidies, net income
continues to fall. At the beginning
of July, income was running 2
per cent below last year.
These facts are embarrassing to
Administration farm spokesmen In
an election year. But of greater
significance Is the fact that with
increased
handouts
come in
creased government controls.
Part of the process of grinding
farmers into submission is to
drive down the market price and
force the producer to take a lar­
ger share of his return in the
form of government payment.
Government stocks were dumped
on the market under the 1961-62
feed grain programs to depress
prices and force producers into
compliance. When the grain trade
complained about government
competition, the Administration’s
answer was direct payments to
farmers.
In the case of wheat, prices have
been smashed by large sales ol
CCC stocks and a requirement
that mills pay what amounts to
a processing tax on wheat used
to produce food products.
On the surface, the cotton sit­
uation Is somewhat different, but
the government In now paying 6
1/2 cents a pound for cotton con­
sumed domestically or exported,
however, these payments are paid
to persons other than farmers.
Once farmers are deeply mired
in the quicksand of relief pay­
ments, they will be completely
dependent on the whims of Con­
gress and the Secretary of Ag­
riculture for their livelihood. As
long as the non-farm segment of
the economy enjoys prosperity,
consumers may be tolerant of
doles to food and fibre producers,
but what would happen If national
non-farm Income started to de­
cline? It looks as though farmers
are rapidly going on the govern­
ment payroll without the protec­
tion of civil service status.

Warming and cooking fires are
the main source of hunter-caused
fires. One reason is that hunters
from west of the Cascades where
rainfall is heavier are sometimes
lulled Into a false sense of se­
curity, not realizing how quickly
the forest dries out after light
rains or cold frosty nights.
AU hunters are asked not to
abandon any fire, no matter how
damp the weather seems. Camp-
