FILA Officials
 Visit Valley Area

Pierce said he was pleased and proud of the job FILA. has done in Alaska. He pointed out that the FILA budget for Alas ka has trebled until it now is in the area of $I,350,000.
 In speaking to the group Higbee noted that farming is an extremely risky business and one of the most misunder- stood businesses of all. One of the most valuable assets of our country is agriculture, . he said. During the many years FILA has been in the loaning busi- ness, they have lost less than four per cent on loans
 they had expected to lose some 20 per cent" he added.
 The speaker went on to say that country bankers are the best friends we have. He pointed out that FILA does not take the place of banks, rather, the program is a suppliment for the farmer when he can not borrow funds from other sour ces. He stated that he feels the real base of our economy is agriculture, however. he added farmers need a managing sup ply program to take care of their marketing situation.
 Before leaving Alaska for their home bases, the group will have visited in Juneau, Anchorage, Wasilla, Kenai, Soldatna, Homer, Kodiak and the Fairbanks area.
