Farm Loan Groups
discuss New Measures
Di'-ctors of the two National
I Tr.i-Tv Loan associations of Morrow
nrd O'-ant counties which make up
h H:r.pner group office met at the
offie? here Wedensday, January 21,
to discuss ways and means of streng
thening the local credit group for
b- period which is being entered.
Here from Spokane ' to join with
'hem were C. C. Rowan, assistant
to the president, and David E. Grobe,
assistant district manager for the
:-tate of Oregon, from the Federal
lnd Bank of Spokane.
Plans for the anmial meetings
laid, and the Hardman asso
e'rtiori will meet at, Heppner, April
30. and the Grant county associa
tion at Canyon City, May 2.
"Since 1942 marks the 25th anni
versary of the farm loan systems, it
is appropriate that we should re
, view our accomplishment in the past
auarter of a century." Rowan said.
"In the light of our experience and
because of world conditions, we
r-hould be sure our credit house is
in order, well manned and prepared
tr meet the emergencies of the fu-
turn, whatever they may be. Among
oth-T things, we should help fore-
! :tall land inflation which did so
much damage to agriculture during
World War 1. With that experience
vivid'y behind us, it should be eas
ier to keep our feet on the ground,
and to avoid many of the errors made
by the farm loan system 25 years ago.
"Maintenance of realistic land val-
vies will keep agriculture econom-
:c;iiiy ntanny ana strong to lane
its part in the present war effort
and meet its responsibilities in the
readjustment which must follow the
war.
The local associations are steadily
I growing in importance. Frequently
I the community and local people do
not understand the importance of
the local group to their community.
This local credit group is doing a
business of about two and a half
million dollars, serving about 650
farmers in Morrow and Grant coun
ties. It should command the same
prestige that any other institution
doing a similar business would com
mand," he said.
Directors who attended the meet
ing were: Hardman association
John J. Wightman, Heppner; Henry
Baker, lone; Frank Wilkinson, Hepp
ner; R L Benge, Heppner, and O.
W. Cutsforth, Lexington. Grant

W. Vawter Parker is secretary
treasurer of both associations and
in charge of the Heppner office.
