FARM BUREAU AGAINST NEW FEES The Secretaries of Agricul ture and the Interior recently announced the Administration's intentions to increase the gra zing fees currently charged to W estern livestock producers for grazing on public lands. Oregon Farm Bureau Execu tive Vice President. David S. Nelson, had these comments about the increase, expected to come about with the issuance of summer crating permits in March "The proposed increase in fees charged to livestock pro ducers to graze on the public lands administered by the Bu reau of Land Management and the U. S. Forest Service is completely unreasonable. “This increase in fees char ged to ranchers is clearly be yond the five and one-half per- cent guideline previously estab lished by the Administration. It seems to me that at a time when the Administration and the American people are concerned about the increases in the price of beef, it is impractical to increase the costs charged to producers that can, in the long run, only drive the price of beef even higher. “The Oregon Farm Bureau urges the Nixon Administration to reconsider the total grazing fee issue and rescind the gra zing fee increase chargedtothe Western livestock producer.” BOB AND MABLF FANGF.N, owners of Fangen Floral for the past 15 years, announce that they have sold their business to Bot> and Betty Hopkins of rural Parma. Betty has worked for th« Fangens the past six years, and Bob farms in the Ten Davis area.
