Production Credit Vice Pres
ident Is Speaker at An
Annual Meeting Held Here
"The farmer Is America1! first
line of defense In this war,'
declared A. B. Robertson, Spo
kane, in an address this noon
to members of the Medford
Production Credit association
attending the eighth annual
meeting of the group In Med'
ford. "The nation must have an
ample food supply both for
armed forces and for civilians
If we are to be victorious," he
said, elaborating on the meet
ing's theme, "Food for Free
dom."
"It is the Job of the Produc
tion Credit associations through
out the country to see that no
farmer falls to raise .his share
of his food through lack of
credit," Mr. Robertson contin
ued. Locally there will be a
need for increased production
of dairy products, poultry prod'
ucts and fresh vegetables for
canning, he said. Mr. Robert
son, who Is vice president of the
Production Credit corporation
for the northwest district, added
that through the Steagall act the
government had set a floor on
farm prices to act as a sta
bllizing influence through the
adjustment of expansion. He
pointed out that this was not
done during the last world war,
resulting In confusion on farm
prices.
Newbry Speaker
Another speaker at the ses
sion was Earl T. Newbry, Med'
ford farmer, who discussed
some problems of the local farm
labor situation.
