COUP
In The-
Day's -Jffews
By FRANK JENKINS
The department of agriculture
reports this week that the nation's
farm real estate hit a RECORD
market value of 112 billion 400
million dollars as of July 1 of this
year.
It adds that the value of Amer
ica's farms increased eight per!
cent during the federal fiscal (fi
nancial) year enjing on Jute 30,
1957. That is the 'argest increase
in the capital value of U.S. farms!
since the fiscal year that ended
on June 30, 195' six years ago.
For this achievement officials of
the department credi' favorable
crop prospects (the 1957 crop is
expected to be one of the largest
in our history), increased demand
for farm- produus and CONTIN
UED CONVERSION OF FARM
LAND TO RESIDENTIAL SUB
URBS. Why the capital letters in that
last sentence?
Well, continued conversion of
farm land to residential suburbs
is sign:f cant. It is significant for
two reasons:
1. Farm land sold for suburban
residential purposes brings higher
prices.
2. Covering up farm land with
residences, factories, freeways, air
ports aiid so on takes agricultural
land out of production and tends
to hold down surpluses.
' That helps to bring the supply
of agricultural products back more
nearly into balance with demand
for them.
It lias been Ihe custom for some
time to look upon agriculture's sit
uation as pretty black. Its pres-
ent balance sheet, however, doesn't
confirm that impression.
Farm assets climbed to nearly
177 billion dollars at the end of
1956, an increase of $8.6 billions,
or five per cent, over 1955. This
reflected a gain of $6,800,000,000
in the value of farm real estate
and a rise in the value of live
stock and farm machinery inven
tory. Farm indebtedness rose three
per cent to a total of 19'.i billion
dollars. Of this total, real estate
dtbt was approximately 10 billion
dollars. While farm debt has ris
en in each postwar year except
1953, its growth during the past
ter. years has been LESS THAN
THE GROWTH IN ASSETS. As
a result, there has been a steady
advance in the farmers' equity, or
net worth, which rose eight billion
dollars last year to a total of
157 billion dollars.
That isn't such a bad record,
everything considered.
Here In Southern Oregon and
Far Northern California, we are
looking forward to a large ex
pansion of industry. Especially in
dustry based upon our huge stands
oi fiber timber. But we want a
BALANCED economy. We don't
want to get all of our eggs intq
one oasKci. we nope ana oeneve
that our agriculture will rise along
with our industrial development.
There is good reason to believe
that in this Southern Oregon-Far
Northern California area agricul
ture has good prospects for ex
pansion. The huge and growing
California market is immediatelv
adjacent to us. Already in much
of California, productive farm land

Committee
Digs Deeper
Into Unions
WASHINGTON, Oct. 13 W-Scn.
ate investigators disclosed Satur
day they are digging deeper into
the handling of union funds by
Teamster locals in areas which,
they said, have been under James
R. Hoffa's domination.
All Teamster locals in the Cen
tral and Southern Conferences
have been asked to supply a list
ing of their cash assets, their
stocks and bonds, all of their loans
since January, 1950, and any ad
vances or payments to other Team
ster units.
The request was made in let
ters sent by Sen. McClellan (D
Ark), chairman of the special Sen
ate committee investigating rack
eteering in the labor - manage
ment field.
McClellan said in a statement
his action was prompted by "clear
examples" already uncovered of
what he called misuse of union
funds by Hoffa, the newly elected
president of the Teamsters Union.
McClellan said his committee
wants to find out the extent to
which "this type of activity was
gone on in areas which have been
under the control and domination
of Mr. Hoffa."
After the requested information
is received, McClellan said "it
will be sifted and studied to de
termine how the problems raised
can be dealt with legislatively."
Hoffa. long Midwest boss of the
Teamsters, was overwhelmingly
elected head of the giant union
at its convention in Miami Beach
last week, despite corruption
charges levelled against him by
the Senate probers and AFL-CIO
leaders.
A group of 13 rank-and-file New
York Teamster members went
into Federal District Court here
Friday seeking an order that
would bar Holla from taking of
fice. Judge F. Dickinson Letts
said he would rule on their plea
Monday.
The Senate committee, which Is
looking into charges that the elec
tion was riggod in Hoffa's favor,
has requested all Teamster locals
in the country to furnish it with all
their records relating to the selec
tion of convention delegates.
