The producers news., 1930-11-07
BY JIM MORRIS

Helena Experiments have been
carried out here in the semi-arid
farming areas tending to prove the
radicals contention that two-thirds
of the small farmers are doomed to
become wage slaves within the next
generation.
This state for example, was settl-
ed by homeSteaderS who took up
lands in plats of 100 and 800 acres.
Small grains were the principal
crops and drouths were common.
These farmers bought machinery and
tractors in an attempt to mechanic
their farms. Debts and extraordin-
arily dry years overwhelmed them.
Why? Because mechaniZation of
farming can not be taken up on a
small scale. To make machinery
pay for itself and to increase cur
rent production, it must be operated
at maximum capacity. This applies
to agriculture as well as to factories
Upkeep Expensive
Machinery, first cost as we'll as
upkeep, is expensive. 1t must be
used on the farm with peak loads. /
mean that it must be employed for
the greatest amount of work COM
patible with the seasons. For this
reason machinery on small farms,
such as homesteads, is of dubious
value. Therefore, many tillers Of
small acreage have gone back to
horses and shock threshing after
having tried tractors and combines.
The improved labor saving ma
chinery can not be blamed for this.
Their large expense and capacity
demands that they be kept in opera
tion or the savings effected will be
wiped out by too quick depreciation.
On would not think of using a null
tiple press for a weekly newspaper.
Have Abandoned Homesteads
Here in Montana many of these
dry farmers have abandoned their
homesteads. AS many more were
forced out by foreclosure. Banks
failed because they could do moth
ing with these dry farms. Many of
these homesteaders expected to ap-
ply the same farming methods to a
country that received on an average
of Is inches of rainfall year that
they used in the fertile corn belt
where there was an annual precipi-
tation of 80 inches of rain.
Professor M. L. Wilson, head OF
the Agricultural College at Boze-
United States Department of Agri-
culture, worked out a plan which
they termed the Fairway plan for
relieving dry farmers. They obtain
ed a loan of $125,0O0 from John D.
Rockefeller. Jr., and formed the
Fairway Farms Corporation. This
firm proceeded to buy up foreclosed
and abandoned homesteads in vari-
Gus parts of the state and consoli-
dated them into farms of several
thousand acres each.
Beginning in 1924, there are today
nine units of various sizes up to the
5000 acre home farm. Four Of the
united were operated as wheat
farms( four for diversified farming
and the home farm for experiment
The eight farms were equipped with
the most modern machinery and
buildings. Tenants were installed tt
operate them under the strict super.
vision of the corporation. These ten
ants were provided with a purchase

food of sort will be offered them.
Yet authorities estimate only 12,-
600 to $4,000 meals will be served
daily and 5000 sheltered at night.
Conditions HOrrifyipg
Pointing out that out of $4,000
registrations in 10 weeks the mu-
nicipal free job agency had placed
just 1922, RybicH announced
that in the last 10 days registra-
ton has grown while jobs decreas-
ed, despite greater efforts to con-
tact employers. "It shows that
business is getting worse" he
said. Conditions this winter will
probably be the most horrifying in
the history of the city, and there
is no sign of relief before spring"
Relief is to be doled out with a
sparing hand to the unemployed
by various eastern cities. Usual
! ly several hours work on woodcut-
/ ting and other jobs will be requir-
ed to gain a bowl of soup and ad-
mittance to a flophouse. Head;
of many big industries are follow
ing the insult lead in decreeing
that their officials and worker:
must contribute a days pay /;

agencies. This shifts the load o.
caring for destitution from big
industry to the employed.

answer TO the charge of immorali-
ty.
So embarrassed was the Bishop
over the publicity given to his
marital relations that he and his
wife could not sit at the same
table on the boat returning to New
York. Neither could they bear to
be in the same cabin together. See
what the Devil can do!

His present wife, Mrs. Mccall

the Sacred Sepulchre last summer
and tho they were not married il
would seem that no godly person
would think i'll of man conse-
Grated to his Redeemer for doing
something that a layman would
have no right to do. But the
Bishop married Mrs. McCallum af-
forwards and took the ground from
under the feet of the devil.

succeeded by a small margin of
votes. Rasmussen received 1874
votes to Wheeler, his opponents
1912, according to the unofficial
returns compiled in the office of
The Producers News. 1t is re-
ported, according to other compil-
ations, Rasmussen is only "a be-
hind Wheeler.
Hundreds of farmers and tax
payers particularly regret the de-
feat of Rasmussen. The farmer
labor party feels especially disap-
pointed over his defeat, for with
his election, he would have had an
office at the court house, and a
source of information would have
been available to the farmers at
all times as to what was occurring
there. Besides Hans was a cap
able official and the people needed
his services and his economies.
The two other contests attract
ing particular interest in the cam
paign were the contests for Sheriff
and County Attorney. 1t was al

but it was thot Erickson had a

contract which called for the even
tual ownership by said tenant.
The tenants were able to operate
these units with only two or three
hired hands besides themselves. The
displacement of farmers and their
families is obvious. These tenants
contracts mean that not only John
ID. must get his loan back with five
per cent interest, but that expenses
for the whole project must be paid
before any profits from the farms
could be applied to the purchase

Minimum Of Labor.
AT Comanche the corporation has
farm of 1850 acres run by a ten
ant, his two boys, a hired hand and
couple of extra hands at seeding
and harvest times. He grows an
nually 1000 acres of wheat, 800 of
! corn, 600 acres fallow and grazeS 20
cows on the remainder. Again, at
! bingham, there is a farm of 2,24O
acres where a tenant and his two
children, with the help of two extra
hands in busy seasons, raise 600
acres of grain, with 600 fallow, and
have hundreds of heads of cattle
grazing on the rest. All of this work
is performed effectively with a min
imum of labor because modern ma
chinery is employed to it's maximum
capacity upon a large acreage. OF
course, it displaces six to eight farm
! families but that is a natural nom
comitant of mechanization.
On the home farm at Brocketon
experiments are being carried on to
determine the best and most inexpen-
SiVe methods for wheat farming.
Wheat, like steel, sells in a world
market, and therefore methods must
be devised constantly to reduce pro-
duction costs, so that the producers
may compete with foreign growers.
Manufacturers of machinery for ag-
ricultural usage lend to the corpor-
alton their latest models for use on
the farm at Brockton. In this man.
ner the most efficient are selected
, and the manufacturer gets his pro-
ducts advertised.
AS an example of research on this
particular farms, efforts are toward
establishing the maximum loads that
the tractor will pull in plowing, disc
ing, seeding, cultivation or combine
harvesting and to maintain opera
tion at this peak. Last year wheat
was grown and marketed at a total
cost of $500 an acre, which, at ar
average of 25 bushels to the acre
means a cost of % cents a bushel.
This article was not written to ap.
plaud mechanization of farming, but
rather to show the trend in the con-
slant application of factory methods
to agriculture with the consequent
driving from the soil large numbers
of farm families. Out of 1000, ,00(
individual farmers, at least 4,500, ,00C
are doomed to become a part of the
proletariat.
