Values are ureter. Land to he Irrigated Is worth more: the property that would be damaged by flood N now more valuable and there are more buildings that would le In the jth of a cloudburst; productively and potential productivity of the farmland are higher. All these factors enter In. Those who have pushed for this dam for year envision great l.xal Iwriefit from It. Fhd prevention top the list. Statistic would Indicate that another bad one will come aomc time. Irri gation, recreational benefits, fish and wildlife use all would be included. And he engineers Monday suggested another possi bilitysupplementing the domestic water supply. In the survey, the city will be consulted about this possibility. Although It has been a long time aince that first study, and It Is pretty sure that It will be a long time yet before the project would ever reach actuality, the visiting engineer had nothing to report Monday that would tend to discourage proponents of the dam. With the all. nation to complete the survey virtually assured, and the probability of showing a good benefit ratio under the multipurpose concept in the survey. It would seem that local backers of the dam would have every reason to feel encouraged at this point. TO THE EDITOR To The Editor: The National Agricultural Economy is deteriorating so rap idly that If It Is allowed to con tinue It will amount to disaster In all the farming communities by 19G3. In defeating the so-called Omnibus Farm bill, did in a large part by the National Farm Bureau, we have lost the only opportunity we ever had to con trol our surpluses and our prices without cost to the tax payer. I cannot imagine why the National Farm Bureau went out on a limb and (lid this. Quoting the East Oregonlan, "All of the reasons advanced by the National Farm Bureau are inadequate." Only time will tell their reason for doing so. Quoting our Wheat League Kepresentative at the last Wheat League meeting at the Lexing ton Grange hall, said "almost all of the reasons and all of the arguments I've heard against the Omnibus bill are false." Again quoting him at a recent Farmers Union meeting, he said 'The Middle State Corn farmers are not going broke by the hun dreds, they're taking bankruptcy by the thousands." Quoting the National Grange about the Farm Bureau, "... a more flagrant distortion of facts would be diffi cult to Imagine. The use of un supported and unfounded but in flamatory generalities in a fran tic effort to defeat improvements in farm programs Is regrettable." The processors have gone all out to defeat the farm bill. They feel that they cannot let the farmers get control of their own markets. The National Farm Bureau In its own news letter gave itself away as to whom its associates are. WARNING Burning within the city is prohibited by ordinance except in certain specific cases involving commercial quantities in approved incinerators. As of this date the provisions of the ordinance will be strictly enforced.

The new members are: Corn Producls Company, the National Assoc. lation of Retail Grocers, W. G Mason, vice president of Quaker Oats Is the treasurer and chair man of membership drives. In Dlace of the Omnibus bill Is the proposed Ellender bill which would give us a gross and I mean gross income from wheat according to Wheat League fig ures of about $1700.00 per 100 acres of wheat land. Now my lo cal county and school tax Is over $15,0(k).00. Figure how many quarter sections It would take to pay that. Several years ago when I was president of the County Farm Bureau, we got directions to go out and defeat the so-called Brannon Plan and like stooges we did it, yet the only part of that plan in operation is the wool plan and no stockman who runs sheep could exist without it. Former Secretray Benson fought against all controls for farm products except for sugar beets and nothing was ever heard about that. They are the most rigid controlled product In the country and the best pro duct the farmer can grow if he can get an allotment. Could it be, because the U & I Company Is of Utah origin? How can Agriculture exist with 91 of the economy controlled and 9 which is agrclulture and the largest customer Industry has producing unlimited and below cost? How come (it is said) that the largest lobby against agri culture is the small business man In his own home town. O. W.
