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 type of loan waether it be for land type of loan whether it be for land Will the loan really help the family considerf-d the only acceptable criteria. V. F. Lives*. • State Farm Security Director of Portland, participated in the second day discussion. Representing Coos county at the meeting were E. W. Hughes, County FSA Supervisor, and Committeemen Ed Detlefsen, Coquille; J. J. Geaney, Coquille, and Ralph Christianson, Bandon.
