IMKHI ri : If ! : WeeU Cemtle SH i rz. r The State Convention of the National Farmers Organiza tion was held at the Dunes Motel In Newport on Septem ber 24th and 25th. State President, Don Peter son, called for an all out drive to contact neighbors, sign them up as members, and sign production so that farmers may do their part in working for cost of production plus a reasonable profit. He said tha current dis astrous prices on wheat and cattle have stopped normal movement of crops to market. He cited the disparity between wages, compensation, salar ies and interest (up 223 per cent from base year '46 to '50, as compared to net farm income, down 2 per cent). The concern about the danger to small private enterprise has resulted in active partici pation with the Trade and Economic Development Com mittee of the legislature, and contacts with the State Dept. of Agriculture, when State and National officers met with director Leonard Kunzman and Jay Glat of the Agri Development Division. Ag Economist Fredrick Dahl of Silverton, Oregon, told of his experiences overseas as he worked in developing countries. He talked about the New Economic Order and the effort toward "indexing" of prices between the 77 develop ing nations and the major powers of the world. Shelley Robertson, head of Specialty Crops section at Coming, Iowa (former Pilot Rock resident), said the Norway and Finland farmers have priced their production at cost of production plus a reasonable profit, with result ing national economic, politic al and social benefits. He said agri expenses are up 6 per cent and net income is down 4 per cent; that statistics at the national office indicate that when our members block and sell production, prices follow volume.
