Salem Seniors At Maryllmrst On Honor Roll DrvG.B.Wood Talks to Farm LoanGi Rcp.R. L Elfstrom Candidate for Re-Election to State Legislature Donna?

Other Salem students working for Maryl-fair are Grace Corey, chairman of the baseball booth, and Patricia Cameron, on a fresh man concession. MissjPearson was speaker at a recent banquet of the Future Teachers : of America, of which she is j past president r There never was more need for a stable agriculture as well as stable economy in all business than there is today, Dr. G. Bur ton Wood, head of the depart ment of agricultural economics at Oregon State College, told members of the Willamette Na tional Farm Loan Association at their annual meeting Saturday at Marion HoteL Some 175 members attended. One of the main issues for the farmer in the years to come is that he decide, Dr. Wood said. what he wants in the line of an agricultural program . and how much government is to be in volved in the picture. Dr. Wood said he believed that the year 1953 presented an open, under standing debate of the farm issue and that all citizens should take a viewpoint regarding agriculture that will be beneficial for the farmer, consumer and business man. The farm problem no longer involves only the farmer, but the laborer, the consumer and the businessman as welL ' ' . Financial Report Fred Muhs, president of the Association, call est the meeting to order at 10:30 .a.m. and J. J. Sechrist, secretary-treasurer, gave the financial report as well as a brief historical sketch of the growth of the organization, ( Sechrist explained that many changes had been made' in the Land . Bank system since its be ginning up to 1945 when six as sociations, formerly serving Sa lem area, consolidated and joined forces on March 1 of that year. He pointed out that the present financial stability of the associa tion with respect to reserves for losses, was much greater and more secure now than in 1945. The loan volume in 1945 amount ed to $2,356,000 as compared to the low of $1,799,000 in 1947, arid a balance of $3,020,000 as of Dec. 31, 1953. 1 Property Tax f Sechrist said that one of the major problems confronting farm ers in the present price-cost squeeze is the real estate tax problem. Taxes have tripled in some cases the 1940 figure with the result that the present annual tax payment is larger than the installments on farm loans, he said. ; The association, Sechrist i went on, closed 71 new loans in 1953, with 74 being Tetired but with a net gain of $179,200. f Ralph Otis, Newberg, and Rob ert Mitchell, Perrydale, were re elected to three year terms on the board of directors. After adjournment of the meet ing the board of directors held its annual election of officers with Muhs re-elected to the presi dency; Ralph Otis to vice-president; J. J.
