R. B., made their first venture in
the oil and gas business when thsy
bought a service station from Ed
Clark near the Kerr-Gifford ware
house. The boys could see where
they would do a lot better up town
and bought tho corner known as
the Mollahan place from the Odd
fellows lodge. They moved their
little plant up there and found their
judgment had been good. Having
taken the Chevrolet agency and in
need of disjplay space, they rented
the Gairipues building and engag
ed in the garage business. This was
in 1925 and in 1926 they bought
the corner on Main and May streets
and erected the garage building
where the business is located, lhey
added to their business activities the
county agency for the Shell pro
ducts, offering a complete service
to the people of the county.
In addition to their garage inter
ests, the Fergusons have operated
a big wheat and stock ranch in
the Sand Hollow section. They still
have this property as well as busi
nejs property in Heppner. Since the
beginning of the war, E. 0. Fergu
son has devoted most of his time
to the ranch while Ray mrnag-d
the garage business. Ray thinks he
will get caught up on his sleep be
fore doing anything else and will
then assist with the management
of the ranch.
Mr. Hodge has been busy getting
his' family moved to Heppner and
winding up aflairs at Hermiston.
He will be in full charge Monday.

War Bonds as Investment for Farmers
by Warren W. Hawley, Jr., President
New York State Farm Bureau Federation
IN CHECKING figures of the
Farm Credit Administration, I
find that farmers are paying off
mortgages faster than at any oth
er period in the history of the Fed
eral Land Bank.
At the same time, farmers are
building up cash reserves, but the
investment of this money is
.1:1 r.-i.rcmely hard job for farm
ers to undertake. The temptation
is to try and obtain as high an
interest rate as possible.
Many of us see no reason why
we should not get as much inter
est on our money now as we had
to pay the bank when we were
forced to borrow during the de
pression. The answer is that today money
is cheap "expanded", as the
bankers express it. Therefore in
terest rates are low except in
very speculative securities. Nat
urally no farmer wants to risk
losing his hard earned cash.
We farmers know our own busi
ro!! anrl we ran invest monev in
it safely because we understand
it. However, when we branch on:

into other fields, especially the
highly technical field of invest
ments, most of us encounter sad
experiences.
In these, days it is virtually im
possible for farmers to put their
surplus cash back into the farm.
War-time conditions prevent us
from repairing buildings, and buy
ing new machinery, automobiles,
trucks and other equipment we
must eventually have if we are
going to stay in business.
So the smart thing for
farmers to do is to invest their
surplus money in War Bonds
where it is as safe as a dollar
bill. These bonds increase in (
value the longer they are held;
they can be cashed after sixty
days in case of need, and they
will provide a reserve for in
vestment after the war in the
business the farmers know
best the business of farming.
I confidently predict that if
farmers will do this, the dawn of
peace will signalize a new day for
agriculture.
