Page 4, THE GAZETTE-TIMES, Heppner, Ore., Thursday, Jan. 30. 1975 IRVIX MANN 'Touches all the bases' Chamber hears Irvin .lann Ten years ago I appeared before you. when I was socking a job with the legisla ture Today I am once again ' socking a job." said Irvin Mann, former director of the Oregon Department of Agri culture, speaking before the Chamber of Commerce Mon day. Mann gave a rundown on the origin of the Department of Agriculture, saying that the basic laws were drafted to prevent people from getting poisoned by food and also from the affects of "booze" that was not inspected and would tend to make them sick. Later, shipping inspectors were busy inspecting wheat, vegetables and fruit, as well as other products shipped out of state, and shipping certifi cates sTped by the inspector were required. In 1950. wheat farmers tried to modify the weather in an attempt to grow more wheat in Eastern Oregon. Later it was discovered that power companies were using the weather program for their own benefit. They had anticipated the '! ':-' n nf I'lvor ir-Jine h,tn -1 ;..;..1 : alio thet. to regulate the amount of snow fall in certain areas and in this way they could control and regulate the amount of water needed for their hydroelectric plants. "'License was granted to them with the stipulation that they be required to give results of the tests. However, they made no effort to prove this to me. The license was granted until Jan. 1. 1975. I received no statement and their license was not renewed, but after being relieved this was renewed by my succes sor." Mann said. Mann went into the details of the trouble ranchers had getting baling wire during the past year. Although baling wire was available from both Japan and Belgium, the Unit ed Stales spent millions of dollars on advertising rather than reduce the cost of the wire and allowing farmers to purchase wire made in the U.S. at lower cost rather than purchase the wire made abroad. He also spoke of some of the problems between his depart ment and the livestock gro wers, primarily when a far mer would report the loss of some of his cattle. He had been informed that the cattle man would report the loss of cattle each year, while not telling his banker of the loss. He was also informed the farmer had chattel insurance, or he just drove the cattle up a box canvon and left them to Trl-County Hereford RANGE BULL SALE 50 Hereford bulls, horned St polled.

"This is not a game, and you have to assume that the farmer is telling the truth and that he has lost his cattle." said Mann, "and you have to try and find where the cattle were lost." Mann discussed the costs of coal-fed power plants versus the nuclear plants and the cost of shipping coal from Montana and Wyoming to produce energy in Oregon power plants. The former director had words for Henry Ford II. saying that at the end of World War II Ford had been a free trader, but soon found it was cheaper to build his cars in foreign countries and ship them to the United States for sale rather than build the cars . here, because of the lower cost of labor in the foreign coun tries. Mann literally "touched all the bases" with comment on subjects from Arab oil to fertilizer in Bangladesh; from global land use planning to greedy Columbia commercial fisheries. His main barb was reserved for Dave Nelson, of the n Farm Bureau Federation. "He Nelson) is supposed to represent the farmers of Oregon, yet fought openly in the 1973 legislature the bill, passed over his opposition, setting the cost to the farmer of $8 50 per hundred for State Accident Insurance protection when the farmer was being charged twice that much. "We must find out why Dave Nelson, supposedly represent ing Oregon farmers again will seek repeal in the 1975 legislature of this same bill, in the name of the Oregon Farm Bureau, so that the rate of the Oregon farmer will be raised to something above $18.50 per hundred." the speaker said, and explain why. "You ask why someone who is supposed to represent farmers would do this? You will find the answer is that if the farm rate is high, the Oregon Farm Bureau Insur ance Fund benefits im measurably from the distress of farmers who can't afford this kind of rate. Mr. Nelson benefits in the same measure, and he likes that." Mann, a former state repre sentative from this district, indicated privately during his Heppner visit that he is1 considering running for a state elective office, possibly tor secretary oi state. He is not ruling out a try for the legislature. He has a home at Stanfield, but is living in Salem at this time.
