The Sugar City
County Welfare
Report Released
At its regular monthly meeting
Sept. 22, 1960, the Malheur county
Public Welfare commission re
viewed figures on caseloads and
expenditures for August. At the
end of August it had 364 active
cases, as compared to 370 for
August of 1959.
This reflects a decrease in old
age assistance, aid to disabled and
foster home care. However, both
aid to dependent children and
general assistance caseloads have
increased. It is felt that the in
crease in general assistance reci
pients reflects the increased me
chanization of crop harvest in
Malheur county, thereby reduc
ing the number of seasonal work
ers needed and also limiting the
work period for those who are
employed.
The administrator also discuss
ed changes in general assistance
monthly allocations. This, in es
sence, gives Malheur county a
preliminary monthly allocation of
funds for the general assistance
program and also provides the
authority to vary the range of
food standards from the 100 per
cent on which the allocation is
based to a minimum of 85 per
cent for resident general assist
ance cases and 65 to 85 percent
for non-resident general assist
ance cases. It is hoped that by
providing for flexibility in food
standards Malheur county will be
able to operate an adequate gen
eral assistance program within
the funds allowed.
The administrator also explain
ed the work relief program and it
was voted to initiate this program
as soon as feasible. It was arrang
ed for Andrew Juras, assistant
administrator of the State Public
Welfare commission, to meet with
the Malheur County Welfare com
mission and assist in implement
ing this program as soon as pos
sible.
THE NYSSA GATE CITY JOURNAL, NYSSA, OREGON. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 3. I960
County Corn Price Commercial College
Open New Classes
Support Rate Set r To Ludwig
Commercial college in
With the main corn harvest un
der way, the Malheur ASC Coun
ty committee announced that the j
price support rate for 1960-crop
corn in the county will definite
ly be $1.17.
The county rate is based on a
national average of $1.06 a bushel.
Under the law, the 1960 support
rate for corn is fixed at 65 percent
of parity (90 percent of the aver
age farm price for the past three
years). Under this provision, the
1960 support rate is 6 cents a
bushel lower than in 1959.
The final rate is unchanged
from the minimum price support
rate for the county. The mini
mum was a preliminary rate an
nounced in advance of harvest to
enable the corn price support pro
gram to begin promptly. Final
rate was determined on the basis
of later information available at
the opening of the corn marketing
year Oct. 1.
To be eligible for price support,
corn must grade No. 3 or better
(except that No. 4 because of test
weight only is acceptable), must
meet certain moisture require
ments and must also be in ade
quate storage.
Any farmer wishing to apply
for a corn loan should contact his
county ASC office.
