K Swanson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lundell, Carlton Swanson, Mr. and Speaker Urges Parity Farm Prices Hood River, Nov. 17 Only when industry and labor realize that ag riculture must have a parity place in the national economic picture can a permanent and sound prosperity come to this nation, R. W. Blackburn, secretary of the American Farm Bu reau Federation, told the Oregon State Farm Bureau convention here Friday evening. Blackburn emphasized that re peated surveys and observations of facts have revealed beyond any doubt that the nation as a whole can only prosper in direct relation ship to the welfare of its agricul tural life. Speaking of the complex relation ships now existing in our national economy Blackburn said: "The ob jectives of all three groups indus try, labor and agriculture are iden tical. They want national prosperity, That is one thing that all are agreed on. "Industry and labor must even tually recognize the fact that our complex economic system, based up on mass factory production, simply cannot operate successfully on a stabilized basis unless farm com modity prices, industrial prices and industrial wages are brought into parity relationship so that all groups may have the buying power to ab sorb the products of industry year after year in large volume." Striking at the so-called "econ omy of scarcity" Blackburn de clared: "Industry and labor must re alize too that the only way to in crease national wealth is through the greater production and use or goods and services. Agriculture has done its part, is doing its part, and will continue to do its part." "Farmers produce an abundance at fair prices. Industry and labor, too, have generally tried to better their individual position through monopoly approach. The protective tariff system, the trend to huge cor porate units of industry, the trade association idea all of these have tended to monopolistic control. It was natural that labor should take its cue from industry's practices and try to solve the problem of individ ual members by limiting member ship and keeping hourly wages high. "High wages are greatly to be de sired, but only when such wages are fair. We know from experience that production and use of goods can proceed in normal volume only when industrial prices, industrial wages and commodity prices are in balance. Intelligent, economic states manship should seek to maintain BRING THAT ODD JOB WITHIN REACH How many times have you started to do something overhead only to . find it just out of reach Get that Step-Ladder NOW! 4-, 5- and 6-foot Ladders.

That, after all, is all there is to the parity concept price and wage' levels that will permit maximum consumption of goods and services by a maximum number of people at all times." "We invite we even challenge labor and industry to meet us on the common ground of parity." Blackburn reviewed the evolution of the present price basis between farmers and other groups, pointing out that agriculture and particularly organized agriculture through the Farm Bureau has been engaged in a long fight to obtain parity levels. He predicted that through a con tinuation of such efforts that econ omic level would eventually be reached. AUXILIARY MEETS American Legion auxiliary met with Mrs. Ethel Adams last Mon day evening. Report was heard from the recent food sale, and the music chairman reported arrangements to have the school band play at the Armistice Day program. Plans were discussed for a Christmas party. Next meeting will be an afternoon sewing meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at the home of Mrs. Anna Bay-less. State Had 157 People A Century Ago Oregon Writers Project, WPA Oregon's total white population in 1839 numbered 157; the first post office west of the Rockies was es tablished at Astoria on March 9, 1847; and an 1863 miner's two-day "diggin's" netted him $5,600, are a few of the historical sidelights list ed in the Oregon Almanac for 1940 written by the Oregon Writers' pro ject of the WPA. Other Oregon Al manac items state that in 1861 Ore gonians agreed that the state's great est need was "at least one through fare over which travelers may pass at any season of the year," and that a little more than a half century la ter $6,000,000 was appropriated for the construction of many Oregon "throughfares." The Oregon Almanac for 1940 gives a brief review of serious and amus ing incidents in Oregon history, in terspersed with bits of original verse, nonsense and pen sketches. The Ore gon Almanac, scheduled for early publication, will be on sale at news stands and book stores early in December. HAY CHOPPIN Fir or Cominbation chopper and hammer mill, any size screws.
