BUILD UP LIVESTOCK;
PEACE WILL CONE YET
Wheat Prices Must Tumble
Some Day, but Meat
Will Not.
DIVERSITY Is NEEDED
Community Spirit Not Felt
in Grain Farming Area;
Think 1t Over.

For the past two years Montana
farmers have made big money In
wheat. War prices combined with
exceptionally wet summers and con
scuucntly high yields have combined
to make the way Of the grain farmer
a yertitable bed Of roses. But this
year many OF the grain farmers in
the state have struck a somewhat. diff
tefCnt proposition, 1t proves one
thing, that the man who has all his
eggs in one basket never gets very
far.
We must get away from this straight
grain farming in Montana. Our state
will never forge ahead the way it
should until we diversity the output
Of the average farm. The reason lies
in the fact that in any community
whore straight grain farming is prac-
ticed there is little community spirit.
Some of the grain farmers live on
their homcsteads all the year round,
but many more live in the cities or
small towns, coming TO the farm for
only the summer months. That is one
side of the question.
Another arises from the fact that
not always will we have the present
high prices Of grain. once the war is
over and all the world turnS from con-
sumption to production we are going
to witness an enormous drop in grain
prices We will be back to the place
where we are figuring whether or not
we can afford to raise wheat and sell
it at 65 to 20 cents a bushcl But this
drop cannot take place with livestock,
for the simple reason that IT. will take
Years to rclabilitate the herds of the
world. So at this time we should be
increasing our pastures. building them
UP by every means in our power. In
crease the herds. and all facilities for
caring for them-that is where the
money in the future will lie.
