Journal Classifieds Bring Results! By Ernes. S< uell I am Ernest Seuell. I farm i southeast of Adrian, Oregon and raise row crop such as sugar beets and potatoes and some corn and clover seed. I am speaking to you in be half of the MalheurCounty Farm Bureau. I am the President of this voluntary organization representing 322 farm families. One of the problems we would like to talk to you about is the “unlimited medical’’ on workmens compensation claims. , We have been told that since legislation, passed the last ses sion, no workmens comp claim can ever be closed. Since the last legislative session our rates have gone from 10:35 per hundred for general farming to 14.41 per hundred. The reason given is that the legislature passed increased benefits for the workers and allowed “un limited medical’’. We recog nize that an injured worker should receive proper benefits. However, the rating bureau has foreseen that “unlimited medi cal” will be very expensive because claims cannot be closed. Insurance company reserves al lowed for claims need to be much higher . . . .just in case they are needed. Therefore our rate has increased about 29%. I am sure you are familiar with the farm economy and you recognize what cost increases like this do to us. We re commend that you consider the California and Washington workmens comp programs. These two states allow claims to be closed whenever reason able. Thus the insurance com panies do not have to retain such large reserves and their cost for workmens comp is not so high. We oppose compulsory bar gaining for farmers. We believe in bargaining associations and we support them. However, we oppose any legislation that re quires farmers to be bound by any two-thirds or even majority vote of the growers of an com modity. The economic situation of every farm is different and each farm is a separate busi ness. Only the farmer can or should make the final decision of what price he can grow a crop for. r_ are __ Also areas of the _,_ state different in their operating and fixed costs so what will apply in one area will not be ap propriate to farmers in another area. The more controls agricul ture has . . . the more trouble we get into economically. For instance . . . potato farmers could agree to hold out for a higher price in Oregon than Washington or Idaho Growers will. If our processors can get potatoes raised cheaper somewhere else, they will move their facilities there. Then we lose our markets altogether. You can readily see this is NO ADVANTAGE for farmers. In fact, this kind of legisla tion will be disasterous. A ban on corporation far ming is becoming a popular idea and supporters of this plan advocate the ban as a me thod of preserving the family farm. We oppose outlawing corpo ration farming.

I had this experience a couple of weeks ago. Friends to whom the ap- pies belonged said, “Help your- self!” It’s quite a thrill to pick this beautiful fruit from the trees, pack it carefully into boxes and bring home, ready for cooking and baking. I felt I had to use them in a real special way. This cake is delicious.
