Idaho: One Year................$6.50 Two Years........... $12.00 Elsewhere in the U.S.A.: One Year............... $7.50 Two Years........... $14.00 Fewer Farm People Last year, only around one of every 26 Americans lived on a farm. In a recent report issued jointly with the Census Bureau. USDA's Economic Research Service says that about 600.000 fewer people lived on farms in 1976 than in 1975, pushing the farm population to an alltime low of 8.3 million. The report cautions, however, that the 1976 figures are based on a new way of processing survey responses to account for missing data, and that up to 100,000 of the decline may be due to the new procedures. Even so. the figures verify that the U.S. farm population continues to wane—as it has since the mid-1930’s when farms began growing larger and more mechanized. Back in farm was home to roughly one of every four Americans. This steady decline in farm dwellers runs counter to current developments in the rural population as a whole. From 1970 to 1975, the number of people living on farms dwindled by nearly 850,000. Meantime, the rural and small town population swelled by around 37i million people. Growth of job opportunities in rural areas, increased commuting to urban employment, and an influx of retired people best explain this simultaneous rush to America’s heartlands but away from its farms. The over half a million people that disappeared from the farm population between 1975 and 1976 represent a decline of 7 percent, and indicate that the exodus from American farms may be accelerating. Since 1970, the number of farm residents have been trickling off at an annual rate of only 2.7 percent. During that same period, blacks left farms at a faster rate than whites. In 1970, some 900.000 blacks lived on U.S. farms, but by last year roughly 500,000 were left. That works out to an annual decline of 9.2 percent—versus only 2.2 percent for white farm residents. Also down sharply: children on farms. Due mainly to a declining birth rate, the number of farm residents under 14 years old has shrunk by a third since 1970. From Agricultural Situation Editor, the Journal : Mrs. Marie Wilson 818 King Ave., Nyssa, Oregon. Dear Marie: The results of your blood drawing are in with 90 pints of blood collected and 6 first time donors. 1 was reading your evalua tion of the blood drawing and see that you scheduled 103 persons. I'm very pleased to see such a good turn out from that 103 potential donors. If you have any good ideas you would like to share about your system of scheduling I would appreciate hearing from you. Please express my thanks to all those good people in Nyssa who continue to make a volunteer blood program such a success. Sincerely. Jane T.

Neil Petterson 372-2663 1 MIKE PETTERSON 372-3236 To be specific, some fears have been expressed by a few that the Federal government wants to establish federal water rights, and that "the Feds" are advocating the inter-basin transfer of water. I want to clear up these false impressions in the strongest possible terms, so the American people can concentrate on the real challenge at hand and not get sidetracked by simulated strawmen. To gather comments, nine public hearings were held in July and August. As Chairman of the Water Resources Council. I directed our people to go into these hearings with no pre-conceived ideas. 1 want the broadest possible range of views from the public on water issues. As a springboard for discussion, we also published a set of "issues and options" to help trigger as wide a range of views as possible. I PETTERSON BAIR & BMK 372-2764 Some disturbing rumors have surfaced about the public hearings we've been conducting as part of the Administration's studies on water resources policy. This is unfortunate, because the meetings otherwise have been of great value in exploring the issues. Because President Carter recognizes the pressing urgency of the issue, he initially ga«e us a six-month deadline to complete our water policy study and prepare recommenda tions he could send to Congress. In his mandate, he directed us to engage in open, honest dialogue with the public, the states, and the Congress, to insure that what we come up with will truly reflect the national interest. p We've Changed the Name! Developing a Water Resource Policy 1 do not advocate and have never advocated federal water rights that would preempt or infringe upon state or private rights. And as a former governor, 1 have always personally opposed moving water from one river basin to another Dr. Cowles preaches a positive Gospel of Grace. His messages are Biblically based, and are spiced with many contemporary applic ations that enable people to relate to the Word of God. The people of the Church of the Nazarene cordially invite you to come hear this special speaker while their pastor is away on vacation. His first book. The Festive Family, dealing with a celebrative family life-style, is due to be released in November, 1977, by Impact Books, Inc. In addition to this, he has written exten sively for denominational periodicals. Dr. Cowles has been in Assembly Plant last week. Ford dealers plan to introduce the Fairmont, a new line of compact mid-size cars in early October. Ford assembly plants in Georgia, New Jersey and Ontario, Canada, also will build the car. Somehow, confusion and misconceptions have arisen on several points as a result of the hearings. I hope that by reiterating the facts and the true purpose of the hearings 1 can lay these deliberate distortions to rest. I repeat that we have no pre-conceived commitment to any of the options being discussed. We included them for discussion purposes only. To have done otherwise-to have left out any option we did not favor-would have defeated the objective of free-wheeling debate on the full range of alternatives. Worse, it would hav meant we'd already made up our minds on some of the issues. I cannot emphasize too strongly the importance of a comprehensive, coordinated water policy. It’s an issue too important to be carried out by a handful of "experts” gathered in the marbled halls of Washington. It’s an issue which in future years may be as critical as today's energy crisis, and I am determined to get the best thinking, from the largest number of people, before we begin to draw up recommendations, not after. lhe only "conclusion" we've reached so far is that we should allow more time to complete the study. I have therefore extended the deadline by 90 days-until January 1978. I his will give us more time to consult with the states, with Congressional leaders and with the Office of Management and budget and the Council on Environmental Quality, who are also involved in this effort. More public hearings may be held as the study progresses. The inter-agency nature of this study, the extensive participation of the public, the full partnership of the Congress in shaping our future resources policy all point to the best possible chance for designing a water resources policy that will serve the needs of all the people.
