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.

'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.

TO
EDITOR
Editor. The Journal:
1 was visiting Nyssa a
couple of weeks ago.
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.

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.

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.
