One Year Two Years $ 7.00 $13.00 Corporate Farming The Agri-Business Council of Oregon continues to maintain its position of being opposed to the initiative petition to limit corporate agriculture within the state. Tom Hartung, president of ABC. indicates the industry needs to evaluate the proposed amendment to the State Constitution. Agriculture is a viable, highly unique, rapidly changing industry. Shackling it with a cumbersome constitutional amendment which could require almost constant revision would create chaos in the state's second largest industry. The corporate structure has a place in the state's agriculture and with the state's family farms. Examples of corporate systems assisting family farms are numerous and varied. In the eastern portion of the state small ranch operations have formed grazing corporations, which have allowed them to maintain economic unit status. Family farms use cooperatives, which at times are defined as corporations, to purchase inputs—fertilizers, hard goods, services—as well as cooperatives, once again titled corporations, to sell their products. These corporations may be sophisticated, multi-million dollar processing plants or they may be simplified marketing associations. Corporate agriculture structure has a definite roll to play in the world of agricultural finance. h to an essential step for most family farms of today to stay within the family ownership or control. Corporate agriculture can gather a financial base to develop operational units, which otherwise could not be devised by any other means, public or private. Corporate agriculture, therefore, provides benefits to the entire agridutural operation—from securing adequate inputs for production, to establishing domestic and world wide markets. Agriculture in Oregon is a mixture of family farms, corporate family farms, corporate farms, cooperative farms and conglomerate farm operations Businesses serving agriculture are structured in like manner. Other light industry and services in this state not related to agriculture also operate in private through to conglomerate ownership. If unfair practices exist in any of these industries, proper legislative action is taken and regulations are devised to handle the inequity. If an improper or unfair action is found to exist in agriculture, it is ABCs opinion that current or newly devised legislation should be the manner in which the inequity is solved. The Council firmly believes we should not limit the creative ability in the production of food and fiber, which this state, nation and world needs on a continually expanding basis. Agri-Business Council of Oregon Newsletter 'Blithe Spirit' To Show July 30,31 "Blithe Spirit'* by Noel Coward continues to be a smash comedy hit of the London and Broadway stages. The ingenious plot tells how novelist Charles Condomine invites into his home an eccentric lady medium in order to learn the language of the occult. Little does Charles (played by Bob Hellinga) or his second wife. Ruth (played by Mirriam Kunkel), dream that the seance will summon back Charles' first wife (played by Sally Seiler), now "passed over". The lady from beyond still handsome, still mischie- vous, appears-a wraith who torments Charles by remind ing him of their days and nights together. Only Charles can see or hear her. Charles convinces Ruth that he is not losing his mind and that his first wife is indeed in the house. Tickets are now available for the production scheduled for July 30th and 31st at 8 p.m. in the Administration Building at TVCC.

While 1 was there we went to the rodeo, which wasn't bad for a small town But,—I waa horrified when I went to the restroom. What kind of sanitation law do you have that would permit such a disgracefill thing, for 1 can't honestly call it a restroom. It to not only unsanitary, it to unsafe. It is bad enough in daylight, but after dark you would be taking your life in your own hands, since there to no light out there. 1 have seen a lot of outdoor privies, but I have never seen one that was so dirty or unsafe. Doesn't the town or riding clubs have any more pride than that? If you haven't seen it. you should go take a look. For I can't express the disgust that I felt when I saw it. I think something should be done about it. before some one gets hurt. Sincerely. Olene Knowles 76530 W. Oak Rd. Oakridge. OR 97463 Editor, The Journal: We had a little rain to settle the dust last Saturday, July 17th, but the Obon Dancers and spectators were on hand anyway, for the Obon Odon The dancing was shortened some but the entire 10 dances were pre sented. The Intermission numbers by Madame Fujima's stu dents were also presented. The great success of the 30th Annual Japan Nite Obon Festival is attnbuted to the fine publicity your newspaper gave us and the interest of the general public. Our Temple members pledge to continue to improve the event each year for the public's enjoyment. Thank you so much for your support of the event. We appreciate it very much. Sincerely, Idaho Oregon Buddhist Temple George Iseri. Publicity co-chmn. 30th Annual Japan Nite Obon Festival Editor’s Note: Mrs. Brown to known as the flag lady of New York State. This letter was received by Neil and Howard Bair, and Mrs Bair thought it would be interesting to our readers. Dear Nell and Howard, How marvellous to hear from you and your inspiring letter really gives us heart to face up to problems. The Bicentennial has given us a change of thought, it has been wonderful to see the flags flying prondfy after such a long period of dissension and misuse by the misguided young rebels. There is a real change, underlying, which to taking place and the young people are seeking the strengths of religion. As we go around the areas during that period many churches were aban doned, some even turned into night clubs and saloons, but we notice right now many are being taken over by small religious denominations and attended by young families. They sing and have enter tainment. summer Bible schools, and seem to be getting back to basics. The great drought which is ravaging parts of our country and other parts of the world as well, has not affected us at all, it has rained every day and night since May. Every thing to very lush and green, but foods have rotted in the ground and is ruined pollina tion of the fruit crop, which to very abundant as a rule. We had one nice day and it so happened they planned to begin a boat ride to cruise the lower river, so as it is only five miles away we went down to the dock and it was a real thrill. It has been such a long time since Lester can do things, h 's really had a rough time this past year and a half.

He spent five weeks at Oxford and the drought was very severe. All water is shut off in homes and people have to take a bucket and go down to the village square and get their supply and make it do for everything.

THANK YOU I We would like to express our thanks and appreciation to our neighbors, the Neil and Mike Petterson famdies and Dale Garrison and men and to all others who joined in the bucket brigade and helped during the fire and with the cleanup afterward at our home Friday afternoon. A special thanks to the Nyssa Rural Firemen who answered the call so rapidly and did such a fine job. We truly are appreciative. The Rod Cowgill family. When we went to school we learned "in England it rains all day, in Scotland it rains all night but in Ireland it rains both day and night" and they claimed that to why they could bleach their linen so white. When we went to Am sterdam and Italy it waa even worse, and the heat that accommpanied it waa some thing the natives there are not prepared for. They wear wool usually, and the only dif ference between winter and summer to they put on another cardigan. My sister always said they burned their fireplaces at night. For the 4th of July, my nephew from Ohio brought his wife and child, and my brother’s other son had his wife and daughter and we had a little cookout. At bell ringing time, we had little replicas of the Liberty Bell for them to ring, but the little boy across the street dashed out and started ringing his doorbell and his brother leaped like a gazelle off the porch beating a stainless steel pan with a metal spoon and the school and church bells rang., so it was quite interesting. And we enjoyed the TV parades and festivi ties. Your inspiring letter 1 had copies made of as well as the news clipping and sent to several of the Brown des cendents in the east who are all happy to know about you and your family. Several of them have great afflictions and your note of courage was so welcome. We have not seen many bees this year, the rains have discouraged them, so it will mean less honey. Erosion is another big problem. We hope that all is well with you and yours and appreciate your writing us and enclosing that wonderful clipping. Best wishes.
