The Happy Farmer By Clarence Niecum There is nothing more shure than death and taxes. This Polio rage does not scare me so bad but Oh those taxis. Our local papers are full of talk of taxis. Special taxis too now mind you.

"Without It, we would lack the safeguards that have been pro- 'ectlng so many people so long hroughout the country. Our pro gram Is already curtailed in most tates and counties. But curtail ment of loan-making Is better than suspension. It's better to cut down than to cut out making loans. There can be some very safe and successful climbing o f the agri cultural ladder in times o f farm prosperity like these—if we make such loans only in terms of normal earning capacity. This has been our policy and .practice from the beginning apd will continue to be. “Congress and officials of the farmers home administration have olaced safeguards around the pro gram so It can operate safely In good times and bad, and be par ticularly useful in times of in fla tion” Since the tenant purchase pro gram was authorized by congress in 1937 under the Bankhead-Jones farm tenant act, about 40,000 loans have been made throughout the country to enable tenants, share croppers. and farm laborers to be come farm owners. About 0.000 of these borrowers have already paid out In full from farm Income alone, 30 or more years ahead of time. In Malheur county, 37 loans have been made to buy farms and IS have been made to enlarge existing units. O f these, 10 have been repaid in full and 38 more are up to date or ahead of schedule on repay ments. Among the present real es tate borrowers are 19 world war II veterans.

Went over u> see Alva Goodell, >ur county commissioner, for this district. When he learned that roads was my mission the first thing he said was; “ How can the county build roads without any mo ney?" "Uncle Sam" when he wants more money seems to reach up and get It but our lo r^ “County Dads” seems to be a little short on the reach. They are confronted with emergency road problems on all sides. Over behind Mitchell butte the boys there have a very acute problem. It seems the public has been using a ditch bank as a road over there. Our safety auth orities have now condemned that as a road. That means no mail route and no School Buss. Those people like to get their paper They like to read about our road troubles too and they insist on their kids getting to go to school too. So what-to-ru-gonna do about It? Us Cow' Hollowltes has a big tummey ache too about our bridge that went almost out last February.

Ray Strick lin, and Frank Parker each have hundreds of tons o f beets that have to cross Cow Hollow some way before they can sweeten any body's coffee. Those cases are just up in my little corner of the county so it Is easy to see why our road o f ficials would like to see a little money come In for to be able to doctor these headaches a little.

The farm ownership program of the farmers home administration Is helping fight farm land Infla tion, said Donald J. Kudma, super visor of Ontario, pointing out that the 10-year-old tenant-purchase plan provides loans only for buying sound-value farms. Following a long-time policy, the agency appraises farms considered for purchase by Its applicants and estimates their worth on the basis of normal or long-time earning capacity. Instead of using present farm prices ns a gauge, officials figure for example, butterfat at 32 cents a pound, hay at 89 per ton, sugar beets at $6.50 per ton etc. At the same time, costs for ''arm and home operation are esti mated over a similar long period, to Insure that the family’s Income will exceed their expenses and en able them to repay their debt In the allotted time. This Is done to assure protection for both bor rower and government agalust an unwi-e Investment. "W here prices are not In line with this estimate, the agency re fuses to make a loan. This turn down sometimes results in the sell er’s reduction to meet the price set as reasonable by the county committee, a qualified appraiser and the supervisor", Kudma said. "Besides scaling down prices In specific instances, the program ex erts a deflating influence on farm real estate In general. FH A ap praisal standards are frequently used as a yardstick in communi ties to set prices on farms for sale and to Judge prices already estab lished. "During the past four years when farm and prices have been going up at east one per cent a month, he FHA has made 13.000 farm ownership loans over the countrj to tenants and veterans so th-j could buy farms.

For instance, if you were quizzed as to the value of your eye sight, you couldn't put a value on it, because it is priceless. The “ fact" question tells you the relationship between light and seeing and so helps you protect your eyes. For instance, do you know . . . ? That It takes 3 times as much light to read a newspaper with the same ease as it does a well printed book? That inadequate lighting is a promi nent cause for defective vision? gi 1 1 II 31 H N< Jc That sewing is generally much harder on ttie eyes than reading— so, much more light is needed?
