Changers protest to

mint was handled
Dear Mr.. Holmes:

Dear Mr.. Holmes: ...-S -
The Highlands Grange has a
membership of approximately 125
members nearly all Of whom are
very much interested in the pro-
duction of peppermint oil as well
as other crops and we are writing
you through the Grange to see if it
is possible to get a clear idea
of the attitude of the government
towards small farmers in general.
Last fall at stilling time the gov
eminent placed a freeze" order
against all mint oil and the only
method for a producer to comply
with the federal regulation and
secure financing for harvesting
and sitting expense was to take
warehouse receipts and get adj
vances against them. There was
a so-called ceiling by the OPA of
$3.50 which was not considered
fair by the producers considering
the exceedingly high costs of pro-
ducing the last years crop. Al
though several agencies tried to
get OPA to put ceiling more in
line with cost of production they
had no affect. The advances the
growers received were to Jan. 1,
1914, and if the grower did not
redeem his receipts by then the
oil went to the dealer making the
advances. There was no farmer
in. this district able to get any
information that there was any

probability of the CELL gbneing
raised and many were advised
there probably would be a reduc-
ton. We have been advised re-
Gently that the ceiling on mint oil
has been raised to 81 in effect on
April 4. The only object that we
can see in placing this ceiling in
effect previous to the marketing
of the new crop is to give the
dealers an additional $500 per bar
rel as it is too late to increase
planting for the 1914 crop, the
dealers having about $3.50 of the
1943 crop. Government regula-
tons permit the dealers to take SOC
per pound or $500 per barrel for
buying and selling it wholesale,
he pays Sc per pound or $50 per
barrel to the local buyer and Sc
will cover transportation and in
surance to New York which is
the central market. Now the gov.
eminent is giving him an addition
al $500 per barrel on all this oil he
has on hand. -. 4. .-.... -, ..
In cases where the government
changes the price of mint can it
not be provided that the increase
be retroactive so that the pro-
Queer receives his proportional
share? This is not an isolated
case where the government has
stepped in and put the farmer at
a great disadvantage to dealers, it
being true in a number of our
products. Another example was
with onions last fall They were
frozen by the government and
farmers could sell to only regular
dealers at CSC for so pound bags
in September. The first dealer
took 29c per bag, the next dealer
ian affiliate) too sac per bag for
delivering to retailer and he took
$1.21 per bag. This was on onions
produced here and sold to mer-
chants in Kennewick, the pro-
Queer receiving 98c and the con-
sumner paying So per bag. Note
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1944-04-27

the very wide spread between
the price received by the producer
and the price to the consumer.
Also remember that the producer
had much work and expense in
volved where the distributor had
very little and note the per-
centage of increase. And yet the
farmer is blamed for skyrocketing
the cost of living. -
Now Mr.. Holmes, we would like
to know if these and similar con-
ditions are due to the wishes of
the Congress and if not what
agency of the government and
whence stems their authority and
finances? We were told last fall
that if we sold over 25 pounds of
onions to anyone that we had not
sold to the previous year and he
could not live more than IS miles
from where the onions were pro-
duced, we would be subject to
$4,000 fine or five years i'm
prisonment or both.
This trend if it is continued,
is going to freeze out most of the
Independent farmers in favor of
corporate farming which bypasses
most of the middlemen and due
to their financial resources, receive
the greatest consideration from
most of the government agents
with whom they have come in con-
tact. e...-.- 49,. .... ..-
Is there anything that can be
done about such situations?
Yours truly, Kennewick High
lands Grange, No. 1887; presented

IRIS FUNNY THING, but many people
still have the wrong slant on War
Bonds.
These people think that when they
buy Bond, they're giving, or donating
their money to the war.
You might say they have q grin-and-
bear-it attitude about all their War
Bond purchases.
Well, that's a strange attitude. Be
cause while buying Bonds Is patriotic,
and while it Is necessary to help the
Government pay for planes and tanks
and guns, It i not 4 personal sacrifice.
In fact, buying War Bond Is just
about the most advantageous thing
you can possibly do with your money.
Why?
You couldn't make safer invest
ment. The Government itself backs
every dollar you invest.
And the Government pays good,
sound rate of interest-you get 81 back
for every So you put in.
That means that when the war i
over, everybody who's been buying
War Bonds will have a comfortable
