Nine County FSA Committeemen
acting as farmer advisor* to the local
Farm Security offices of Coo*, Doug
las and Josephine countie* met in
Roseburg November 11-12 to discuss
problems related to the credit assis
tance program that ia being offered to
farmers through the Farm Security
Administration.
The added responsibilities placed on
the committee, due to war-time con
ditions, were emphasized by Phillip W.
Farrell, District FSA Supervisor in
Southern and Central Oregon. “We
are here to learn mote about the FSA
' program as it relates to the success
of wai*food production,” Farrell said,
“You of the committees have in for
mer years given generous service
in behalf of small farmers in need
I of financial assistance, rising their in
come* and improving home standards.
Now it become* necessary to see that
families on small farm* have avail
able means to make full use of their
time and labor. Many farmers lack
stock, machinery, market* and skill.
These families are not producing all
they might. Under-employed peo
ple in time become wasted resources.
We need full employment on farms
now to help win the battle of food.
Later we will need them for the peace
and a stronger America,” Farrell con
cluded.
After purposes were clearly de
fined, the group participated in in
formal discussions conoeming mis
takes made in the program in the
past; some good policies and plans
with regard to this phase of govern-
' ment financing.
The first day was »pent discussing
all phases of the regular standard
loaning program including tenure im
provement, credit policies ‘for the
benefit of creditor* and farm family
and supervisory services to families
financing through the FSA.
On the second day, the committee-
men discussed real estate loan* in
cluding farm ownership and the farm*
purchased through FSA under the
Farm Tenant act
Farm selection and purchasing un
der war-thne condition* and the pres
ent speculative value* on land were
perplexing situations which com
mitteemen were warned to watch
carefully when assisting a farmer in
purchasing.
The people on the land, the health
of the family and the background of
farming experience were considered
of first importance in making any
