Hutton who has been Executive Director since his retirement in June, 1970, as state 4-H leader in Oregon, and who had asked to be relieved of his 4-H Foundation responsibilities because of health reasons. Mr. Perry, who is executive vice-president of the Standard Insurance Company, Portland, indicated that the 4-H Founda tion is very fortunate to have Kenneth Meier as the new Exe cutive Director, thereby en abling the 4-H Foundation to carry on the expanding programs supporting 4-H and other youth education in Ore- U.S. Senator Robert Packwood is shown alighting from the motor home that he and his staff are using to tour Oregon during the month of August.

Sets New HigjTi In Small Business Loans Federal lending to assist small businessmen hit a new high in the Boise Small Ad ministration district last fiscal year, Oliver Davis, District Director reported today. The Boise district approved funds for 193 firms, he re lated. an increase of 57 loans over tne previous years torais. Total dollars committed climbed to $11,668,800, an in crease of about 35% over the previous high which was re corded in Fiscal year 1970« Largely, Davis points “ out, this represents "new dollars- not otherwise available through normal lending channels to as- PROVEN WHEAT YIELDS ACCEPTED The basic provisions for pro ven wheat yields are continued under the Agricultural Act of 1970, according to Blaine Girvin, Chairman of the Malheur County Agricultural Stabili zation and Conservation Ser vice. Farms with effective wheat allotments for 1972 are eligible for an established pro ven yield. Producers on these ftrms can elect to establish a y|eld for the farm based on the actual production rather than the yield established by County Committee judgement. The base period to be used for the 1972 pioven yields will be the ac- Mal production on the farm for the years 1968, 1969 and 1970. Qlrvin stated that there are se veral requirements to be met in firder to prove yields. First, die farm must have had an allot ment and must have harvested «heat in each of the base years. In addition, the producer must submit actual production evi dence for all his wheat acreage harvested in each of the three base years. 5 It is a recognized fact that in fte past several years new va neties of wheat and improved Mrming techniques have in- ereased wheat yields consider- ibly. In order to reflect these Changes Girvin reminded firmers to keep records and when they have sufficient pro jection records on hand, submit them to the county ASCS office for a proven yield. For a 1972 proven yield, records must be filed in the county ASCS office by August 25, 1971. » sist in expanding the economy of the District. Summarizing the lending ac tivity, Davis related that loans ranged in size from $1,500 to $540,000 with an average of about $60,000 per firm. This brings the Boise District office loan portfolio to 734 com mercial loans with an original commitment of over $40 mil lion. Since the inception of the Boise office, SBA has approved over $73 million in loans to assist Idaho and eastern Ore gon firms. Southeast Idaho recorded the largest increase where nearly three times the lendingoccured over the previous year. Twenty- nine borrowers were assisted with $3,186,000, up from $1,- 530,000 the year before. Largest block of com mitments went to southwest Idaho firms where 88business men obtained $4,378,200 in needed funds. Other area lend ing included $648,500 to 16 eastern Oregon firms, $1,767,- 600 to 37 south central Idaho businessmen, and 23 loans to taling $1,688,000 to east and north central Idaho firms. Du ring this same period, the Spokane Washington SBA of fice approved 66 loans for $2,- 466,160 to north Idaho firms. This brings the Idaho total to $13,486,460 for the past year, Davis relates. A new high in approval rate was also recorded last year, when 98% of all loan requests processed were ap proved for funding. This large increase in bor rowing indicates increased opt imism for the future of the Dis trict, Davis emphasizes. Most loans include new facilities, eq uipment, added inventories or working capital, he said. This directly reflects new needs for goods or services as well as growing importance in pro duction and distribution. The SBA may commit funds for expansion and strengthening of existing businesses as well as the creation of new enter prise, he explained. Most com mitments are made by SBA guaranteeing up to 90% of loans made by banks and other lenders. SBA may also supply part of the funds in participation with other lenders and in some cases can make direct loans when finan cing is not otherwise available. Last year, over two-thirds of all agency commitments were in cooperation with banks, Davis said. FEDERAL VEHICLES gon.

Comes To Town When a Miner comes down from the hills, His cabins are locked and his pokes are filled. He longs for the bright lights that shine ’long the streets He loves the pert maidens with pink in their cheeks He gambles and frolics as no man should do. He drinks the four roses that glow in the glass A thinking his money forever will last. But when his money dwindles his friends they are gone Even the girls - they have all said “So Long”. Just like a moth that is flying around, Singeing it’s wings in the light it has found. He’s now learned a lesson from the lights on the street Something he knows he will never repeat. And back to the cabin and hills he will go, And the next time he comes he will go mighty slow. Composed by George Moore. ?

Saalfeld, De partment of Veterans’ Affairs director, reported today. This was a drop of 31 from the previous year and a $3,282 decrease in payments. The program, administrered by the State veterans’ depart ment, has paid benefits to 14,- 730 veterans in the amount of $4,282,894 during its 26 years of operation. This is an average payment per veteran of $290. Saalfeld said currently about half the new applications are coming from Armed Forces Ex peditionary Medal and Vietnam July 1, 1958 ( and in the later case have earned the medal); he must have been an Oregon resi dent for one year prior to his active service, and he must be an Oregon resident when he ap plies. State aid may not be paid for courses for which the ve teran is drawing federal GI schooling benefits. However, a veteran training under the fe deral GI bill may take side courses under State aid. He must be enrolled in a school in Oregon unless the studies he wants are not available or open to him in Oregon.

The Motor Vehicles Division says the fee, changed by the 1971 Legislature will increase from 50 cents to $1. The instruction permit will remain valid for one year. It permits driving a car when the learner is accompanied by a licensed driver at least 18 years old. The licensed driver must be sitting beside the learner. Several other fees were chan ged by the same legislation. Fees for duplicate license plates or validating stickers went from 75 cents to $1, and the fee for obtaining a duplicate driver’s license that has been lost, mutilated or destroyed increased from 25? to $1. One fee, however, was eli minated. If a driver moves or changes address or has a change of name due to marriage or court order, DMV will issue a duplicate license at no cost. This step was taken to en courage people to keep the Di vision’s records current. The law requires notice of change of address or name within 30 days after the change for both a dri ver’s license and a vehicle re gistration. All fee changes will take effect September 9. MATTRESS & BOX SPRING COMPLETE 3 Dr $1950 FEES FOR LEARNER loans, greater efficiency would be realized, rural banks would gain and producers would bene fit. With both lenders working together on a local basis, con sultation would be easier and more timely. This would result in improved service to a larger number of agricultural borro wers, the credit bank president believes. The Farm Credit Act of 1971 was proposed after a 27- member Agricultural Credit Commission spent 10 months studying future agricultural credit needs and the ability of the farmer-owned Farm Credit System to meet these needs. The FICB of Spokane is owned by PC As serving Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana and Al aska and is the primary source of funds for the 30 PC As in this area. The FICB obtains funds by selling debentures to the investing public through se curity dealers across the country. Barratt concluded by empha sizing the present needs of agricultural producers for op erating capital. During 1970, the PC As loaned over $660 million to farmers and ranchers in the five state area. When you consider that PCAs are supply ing over one-fifth of the total needs of farmers and ranchers, and that the need is expected to double by 1980, the im portance of the passage of this bill becomes even more evident.

F. Barratt, president of the Federal Intermediate Credit Bank of Spokane. Referring to a provision that would allow Production Credit Associations (PCAs) and commercial banks to cooperate on larger loans, he said, “This one section of the proposed legislation is pos sibly the most important of the Production Credit portion of the bill.” Barratt said the bill had passed the Senate and House hearings had Just been con cluded. With reduction in traditional correspondent relationships be tween city and rural banks, availability of adequate capital to finance ever expanding agri cultural units has been dimini shed, Barratt said. “Not only does this hinder agriculture, but it ‘cuts off the oxygen’ to many of our rural banks that depend heavily on agricultural loans.” If PC As could participate with banks and provide a dependable source of funds for agricultural PERMITS UPPED Educational Aid Paid To Oregon Veterans Service Medal veterans, and most of the remainder from Ko rean veterans.
