At first it looked l.ke it would be ail rosy for the potato harvesters if the railroad strike could just be settled in time. Jt was almost but now the price of potatoes is so low that they are hurting. Then along came wheat harvest and what do we have but the continuance of the longshore strike which has shut down 2! West Coast ports. It is raising havoc with our export market. The market at the end of last week saw indicated prices for white wheat al SI. 54, hard red winter at $1-56 and barley at $41.00. K'-re is how the market compares with last year: Last Week Year Ago White Wheat 1.54 1.57 Hard Red Winter 1.56 1.70 Barley 41.00 41.00 The longshoreman' strike appears to be no closer to et Dement but negotiations were resumed in San Francisco. Even if it were to be settled Immediately it would probably take ( days for the market to clear itself and take some pos itive direction according to Larry Mills, MCGG manager. When the two Oregon congressmen vLsited the area this Aug'j't vacation, they gave almost opposite opinions on the longshoremans' strike. Senator Packwood said it would not be treated as a national emergency because it was affecting only a small part of the country. Congressman Al Ullman said "It is an emergency" and he'd get right on it as soon as he got back to Washington. We haven't had any calls from either of these two offic es. So it is a good bet that nothing is being done. You wonder if the same situation existed on the Atlantic Ma board how long it would take for it to be declared a Na tional Emergency. No one wins a strike. It is beyond the comprehension of most of us, how so few can hurt themselves as well as hurting so many of the rest of us. Jack Sumner, chairman of the Morrow County School Board, planned to go over to Pendle ton Tuesday to pick up the new football scoreboard. Jim Bier stid they hoped to have it in stalled in time for the game. It will be erected a little ways east of the bucking chutes. Something to be proud of, folks. P loneer Pondering By W. S. CAVERHILL ADVICE TO NIXON In the face of the bitter out cry of opposition from all the labor and service unions who have expressed themselves re garding the "freeze", our advice to Pres. Nixon Is to call In wime of the leaders, Meany, Able, Woodcock and Bridges and say, "Boys, you say you have no Intention of cooperat ing with our program. Why don't you write your own tick et and present It to Congress? Vour position is like that of the Ozark hunter who saw a train go into a tunnel, he said, 'Boys go home and get your guns I think we've something treed."' lone Class Elections Held Wednesday Class meetings were held at lone Hifch school Sept. 8.

Banks Important In Farm Lending; Credit Needs Grow Oregon banks rem a ! b a major source of credit and other financial service a to farmers In our State, according , Tf.. '.. O r 1 K -mm pner Branch, First National Bank who represents the Ore gon Bankers Assn. as Morrow County Key Banker. Based on the 30th annual farm lending summary of the Agricultural and Rural Affairs Committee of the American Bankers Association, Mr. Sager reported that at the beginning of the year, Oregon banks were helping farmers with $148 mil lion in loans. This total includ ed $127 million in production loans and $21 million in farm mortgages. At the same time, $89 million in farm loans w as held by life insurance compan ies, $134 million by the Federal Land Banks, $118 million by Production Credit Associations, and $8 million in non-real es- tafte loans by the Farmers Home Administration. About 50 per cent of the production credit extended by lending Institu tions to Oregon farmers came from banks. Mr. Sager said that "bankers in Oregon are conscious of the large capital investments re quired in agriculture today and are making a concerted effort through inproved lending pro grams to meet these changing credit demands of the State's farmers." The increased use of credit by farmers, according to Mr. Sager hag been accompanied by a substantial gain in the total assets of farm families. There fore, in the aggregate, the equity position of farmers, con trary to public opinion, is being maintained at a satisfactory level. Nationally, farm families have $258 billion of their own funds invested in agricuture. This represents 81 per cent of the total capital requirements of farmers.
