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

starve and then find them
again in the spring.
"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.
