2 Heppner Gazette Times, June 4, 1942 Farmers Have Big Stake in Present Inflation Control While most unprocessed farm pro ducts are excluded, for the time be ing at least, from the general price ceilings established by the govern ment, farmers and rural families in general have an important stake in the present nation-wide drive to control inflation, according to W. L. Teutsch, assistant director of the extension service. Mr. Teutsch and other officials of the extension service are now or ganizing the extension forces to car ry out the assignment of the secre tary of agriculture to carry inform ation on the anti-inflation program to every rural famiy in the state. Almost the entire county extension personnel was on the Oregon State campus the first week in June in connection with the 4-H club sum mer session. This made it possible without extra travel to call the en tire staff together to consider the inflation control informational cam paign. The price control program is ex pected to help farmers to produce the record quantity of food, oil crops, and fiber crops that is needed to win the war. It will affect every member of the farm family by help ing hold living costs stable. Farmers in the first world war saw prices of wheat, cotton, and hogs soar to extreme heights, which unnatural condition led many farm ers to go into debt to acquire more land to raise more of these high pric ed crops. When the price spree end ed in the early twenties, the index of farm prices dropped from 244 to 113 in a single year, the federal rec ords show. Whereas in 1920 it took only four bushels of corn to pay the interest and taxes on an average mortgaged acre of land in the corn belt, a year later it took 12 bushels. Much the same condition existed in wheat-growing regions. To prevent a repetition of this "boom and bust" cycle is one of the objectives of the price control pro gram, says Teutsch. Industry, labor, and agriculture are all being enlist ed in the price stabilization program, according to the national plans. Oregon 'Going Over Top' for Iron, Steel Salem. With already a total of 31,000 tons of scrap iron and steel sent into war production activities, Oregon again is "going over the top," said Claude I. Sersanous, Port land, state salvage committee chair man, on his return to Oregon from attending a western states confer ence of the War Production board, bureau of industrial conservation, last week in San Francisco. "All of Oregon's 36 counties are organized now," continued Sersan ous, "with chairmen and committees actively engaged in this great en deavor, with more than 1500 total membership. "Oregon is leading the way in be ing the first state in the west to have all its county organizations completed and functioning. Among those states represented at the con ference were California, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, and Arizona. ' "One of the main features of the conference was the declaration that the west coast would see a decided change in so-called 'auto graveyards' within the next 60 days with millions of tons of available scrap metals go ing into war production from those sources. "It was announced that Uncle Sam has taken over his third auto-graveyard in the country the last being that of the Lenox Motor company of Colmar Manor, Maryland. The owner refused to sell his jalopies and re jected offers which the bureau con sidered fair, as was the case in two other instances since the salvage program got under way; "Scrap purchasers," said Sersan ous, "have been instructed to re port to the bureau, any instances of refusal to sell by graveyard oper ators. In such cases an investigation is made and where it is deemed necessary, requisitioning procedure follows. When the bureau is forced to resort to its requisitioning pow er, the entire stock of cars, includ ing all parts, is taken from the auto-graveyard operator or dealer."
