Oregon at Nyssa, Oregon for transmission Malls, as second class matter, uuaei of March 3, 1879 BUSINESSMEN HAVE FEARS Small town businessmen who have been bat tling shortages of labor and material and other war-time shortages are looking to the future wi th trepidation because of the socialistic trend in government. Four fundamental answers to the question of “ What does small business really fear as it fa ces the future?” were emphasized at one of the hearings of the Ohio small business comission and reported by O. E. M. Keller, president of the Toledo Small Business association. Mr. Keler said: “ I think small business fears regulation ot profits by the government to the extent that there will be no reward for those who hustle and work hard and no reward for creative abil ity and business genius. . . “ They fear the socialistic and communistic trend which may develop into a system whereby government-owned plants and government-op erated agencies will be used in competition to their business. “ I think they fear labor pressures. I mean arbitrary rulings and regulations set up by labor groups which destroys their feedom o f doing business economically. “ Govenment requirements of business are so severe that they discourage many men from starting out” . When you invoke such regulations as feared by small business you j*ist about eliminate all incentive to business ownership. The middle cl ass, including small businessmen, constitutes the back-bone o f the United States and if we ham-string the businessmen with unnecessary regulations we neutralize the middle class wh ich pays the bills that keep the regulators in o ff ice. < C o w H o llo w next meeting September 13 for thi roll call the members wil answer with a treasure report.

Thanks to the American farm fr ont making production "miracles” the rule rather than the exception. U.S. Chilians this year are eating is well as they did last year and 7 percent better than before the war with the remainder of the record production going to our armed for es. lend-lease. and liberated peop les. Most of the prospective increase his year Is in wheat, fruits, truck crops, and meats. M ajor decrease ir in vegetables other than truck crops. BEEF SE T-ASID E Federally-inspected slaughterers are now required to set-aside for ¡overnment procurement 45 percent ot the quantities of beef meeting army specifications following an in crease from 35 percent effective July 30 in order to make available to the U S. military forces necessary quantities o f beef. TR A C TO R S Used garden tractors and tractor- mounted and semi-mounted "power take-off” mowers have been added to the list of used farm equipment subject to ceiling prices regardless of the type or class of seller.

New Zealand’s contribution of EARLY NEWS LOWELL THOMAS Maximum production of beef and hides comes from moderately, not heavily grazed, range. One-third ot the area of the U.S.--$15-miUlon acres— is covered with range and pasture. CCC HAS LESS W H EAT Commodity Credit Corporation sold about 321.000 000 bushels of fe ed wheat during the year ended June 30 which was nearly 17 per cent more than the previous year. CCC stocks of wheat on June 30, 1943. were more than twice the 99.- 000.000 bushels available for sale on June 30, 1944 Farmers redeemed 90 percent of the 129,800.000 bushels of wheat they put under loan to CCC during 1943. The sale of feed wheat during the past year was import ant in maintaining high wartime production of meats, milk and eggs. FAR M E R 3 AFFECTED BY T IR E Q UO TA CUT Drastic • reduction in heavy-duty tire quotas lor the three months ending September 30 will affect ma ny farmers since agricultural needs given an A-2 priority, but with the over-all quota cut trom an estima ted requirement of 495,000 to bet ween 190,000 to 230,000. it is anticip ated that the number 1 group will absorb the greater share of the supply. Heavy-duty tires are u rg ently needed hy the armed forces, and their requirements must be met. Smaller-sized tire supplies are reported to be adequate for essent ial civilian needs. D A IR Y PRODUCTS The production of most manu factured dairy products was lower in 1943 than in 1942 due in part to a continued strong demand for wh ole milk for fluid consumption in military camps and industrial cent ers and in part to a one percent drop in the 1943 milk production compared with 1942. Milk product ion is now declining seasonally and war demands for exportable dairy products are continuing to climb. "'M I1' « W11 !'! W11II till III II II 11 Hi tl tl ill I lil il 11 11 II li!

Under the co-operative market ing policy, the profit, which norm ally goes to the private seed house is returned to the grower in pat ronage dividends. 2. Our co-operatively owned clean ing plant which is one of the best equipped in the west offers the g l ower the advantage o f seed pro cessing at minimum cost. A detail ed test is made on each individual lot, and a complete report furnish ed the grower. This will be o f ass istance in obtaining incentive pay- ments with the A A A for eligible growers. 3. Cash advances, based on cur rent market price, can be obtained after your seed is cleaned at the plant, and under marketing agree ment. This eliminates the need for outside financing or borrowing while your crop is being marketed, and makes it unnecessary to sell to price-cutting buyers for quick cash. 4. W e market peas and bean3 for the grower. We also buy field seeds for cash on reclcaned basis. See us for your fall seeding needs.
