HUGE SHORTAGE IN
WORLDS NITROGEN
Fertilizer SUPPLY

The fourth annual conference of
the world Food and Agricultural
Organization reported in Washing
ton during November that the world
shortage of nitrogen for the year
l948-49 was estimated $4,000 metric
tons, or 100000 tons more than the
previous year. World production of
nitrogen was estimated at 1898, 900
compared to need for 4,O61 900
tons.
The report stated that the demand
for nitrogen was stronger than for
any other fertilizer material: and if
there were a falling off of demand
IN some countries, it would be more
than offset by increased demand
from countries less developed agri-
culturally.
Mississippi farmers will continue
to feel the effects of the nitrogen
shortage for years to come. During
the last two years production of nj
trogen in the United States has in
creased 158o, while demand had in
creased $3.50. The pressure for nj
trogen now is even greater than
two years ago.

post graduate work in Chica-
go.
The late Overseer Voliva in
1884 placed Elder Taylor in
charge of programs presented
by the Church. He painted the
scenery. for the Lord of Life
and when the more dramatic
Passion Play was presented ne
was the author and producer.
The 1885 schedule called for
three presentations but the
public demand was so great
that the Passion Play instead
was given twenty-seven times.
At the conclusion the author
was surprised to hear the an
nouncement that he would be
sent to Palestine to gain au-
thentic information for future
presentations.
After spending several
months travelling in Palestine,
Europe, and his homeland Eng
land, the Elder returned and
transferred his impressions to
canvas. But only two perform
ances had been given in 1897
when the tragic fire consumed
Shiloh Tabernacle and all the
new scenery and property for
the Passion Play. Many men
would have given up at this
time but not Elder Taylor. Ra-
dio Station WBBM put on a
broadcast Of the Passion Play
and the Civic Opera Building
in Chicago was used for two
presentations. A year of siren
uous work painting new seen
cry was next and then in 1889
the Passion Play started again
in Zion Auditorium. 1t has now
been shown ITS times to thou
sands of people. Many hum
dreds of children and adults
have been benefited by the ex-
perience of taking part in this
work.
AS a hobby Jay has been
long interested in taking pic
pures. He has over a hundred
shots of weddings most of
which performed in the Cha
pei of the College Building.
For many of these weddings
Jay has done the decorating.

He sees in it now an oppor-

camera has been purchased
and using some of the charac-

has been filmed. This is only
the first of several that he
hopes to produce.
A couple of years ago Jabez
Taylor found time somehow
to write a book - Wedding

Outlook for Farm Legislation
The Editors Page

IF EARLY reactions of congressman to the
l. recent election results are su~bstantiated
in the form of legislative enactments in the
new session of congress, there will be a
general Strengthening of the federal farm
program, including a continuance of high
level support prices and an extensive grain
storage program. PIMA farmer committees
will play an important part in the admins
tration of these plans.
Congressional observers also anticipate
favorable support of rural identification,
reclamation, soil conservation, rural hous-
ing, farm-to-market roads and improved
educational facilities for farm children.
These programs were all strongly advocated
and supported by Mr.. Truman during the
course of his campaign.
In a post-election survey of members of
congress conducted by The Associated
Press, strong backing for high support
prices was revealed. The results of the
survey are summarized as follows:
Do you favor farm support at pres
end levels? One hundred and thirty
five Democrats and So Republicans
said they do, several of them advocat-
ing even higher supports than the pres
ent 80 percent of parity. Six Democrats
and 10 Republicans said they oppose
price supports on basic farm commod-
tiles. Seventeen Democrats and 81 Re-
publicans were undecided, although
some of them said they favor letting
support prices drop to 60 percent of

numerous other districts of Montana and
northern Wyoming and the practice is
growing rapidly throughout the region.
Generally speaking the results of chem
zeal control have been highly successful
although the Improvement in yield has
varied with individual conditions, and the
timeliness and care with which the materi-
ais were applied.
Some authorities estimate that weed
chemicals were responsible for as much as
20 percent of Montana's record 81, 000, 900
bushel wheat crop this season. While con-
~tributing greatly to efficiency of production,
this modern miracle of weed control may
hasten the day when some means of pro-
duction or marketing control will be neces-
sary in order to keep the available grain
supply in the United States in line with
effective demand.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-11-15

parity after 1949 as provided in an act
passed by the Both congress.
This expression of congressional opin-
ion presumably means that majority of
congressman approve support prices at the
present 90 percent-of-parity level as a per-
manent policy. This would require amend
ment of the Aiken bill enacted by congress
this year, which provides for flexible sup
port prices ranging from so to go percent
of parity depending upon available SUI
plies of the particular commodity.
There will be strong support in CON
gress for Secretary of Agriculture Bran
mans recommendations for government
managed storage of grain SURPRISES, for
plans to increase consumption of surplus
crops, for an international wheat agree
ment, and other measures designed to post
pone or minimize the necessity for produc-
ton control.
Leaders of the national farm organiza-
ions and heads of the congressional COM
mittees will share a great responsibility in
encouraging the enactment of legislation
designed to support farm prices on an equit-
able basis, with due regard for economic
realities and past experience with farm pro-
grams.
1t is going to require craftsmanship of
the highest order, and the intelligent CO.
operation of farm organizations and individ-
ual producers, to develop farm programs
that will adequately meet the price and
production problems that lie ahead.

Take Advantage of New Tax Savings

tax paid at the lower rate applicable to the
divided amounts.
Individual exemptions are increased
from $500 to $500 and individuals over SIS
are allowed an additional 5000 exemption,
or a total exemption of 81, 200.
Under the new law the flat 5 percent
reduction on the normal and surtax is re-
placed by a series of percentage reductions.
Numerous other changes were outlined
in the October 1 article. All of them should
be considered carefully in order that the
taxpayer may be sure to take advantage
of all possible savings.

year or more, insect damage has been
found in grain that has been held in storage
for a comparatively short time.
The only safe procedure for farmers to
follow is to examine stored grain at regular
intervals. If insect infestation is found the
bins should be treated Immediately with a
proper fumigant. Your county agent can
tell you where you can secure a fumigant
and can advise you as to methods of appli-
cation.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-11-15
Straws in the Wind

Land dealers report renewed interest in
farm and ranch offerings since the election.
Prospective buyers are apparently inter-
preting the election results as indicating a
continuance of support prices at a favorable
level. Comparatively few places are being
offered for sale in Montana and Wyoming
and still fewer are available for lease.
Our agricultural scientists failed COM
pletely, over bygone years, to recognize and
for what it is-a temperament and COM
pick resource" says H.. H. Bennett, chief of
the soil conservation service. "The result:
both agriculture and the land suffer. Soil
is but one part of land. For all practical
purposes land must be regarded in terms of
all of its parts-soil, slope, climate and
susceptibility to erosion"
~Stockpiles of grain and other so-called
nonperishable food products are surely as
important as stockpiles of metals, rubber
and other commodities. But they must be
handled in such a way that they will not
depress market prices. That is one of the
reasons why a farm price support program
is essential.
One OF the reasons why some people are
afraid prosperity may not continue during
the coming months is that so many experts
on economic conditions agree that no seri-
GUS slump is possible during this period.
People living on farms in the United
States in January 1913 totaled about IT.
$4,000. That is 2,249,000 more than in 1915
but about 2,750, 900 less than in 1910.

Population of the United States is in
creasing at the rate of about 1900, 900 a
year. Meat production is not keeping pace
with this consumer increase.

FARMERS and ranchers should be care
Il full to avail themselves of the savings
provided by the new income tax law when
they prepare their 1913 tax returns. The
changes in the law were explained in the
article, Income Taxes Will Be Less"
which appeared in the October l issue of
MONTANA FARMER-STOCKMAN.
The most important change is the new
provision under which the income and

been discovered in farm stored grain. Such

except as animal feed.

THE SHORT AND LONG OF OIL

1t is incumbent upon Secretary
of Defense Forrestal to think and
speak of such things as oil re-
serves in terms of the ultimate
demands of a war. It is part Of
Interior Secretary Krug's j o b
and that of his Oil Division chief,
Max w. Ball, not to do any wish
full talking on the subject-per-
haps to add a pinch Of gloom.
Somewhere between conscient-
ious official pessimism and the
understandable earnest optimism
of the oil industry lie the facts
which concern the average Am
erican about his probable future
note we say probable.
The problem is not yet one of
exhausted American oil fields. For
the next few years it is rather
one of checking the rate of in
crease in oil use until existing
production and refining can be
expanded and new processes
translated from the testing labo-
ratories into full-scale plants.
The immediate risks arise from
the very narrow margin of stor-
age which stands between the
excess of winter use over the
daily output of we'll and refinery
"a margin too narrow to absorb
much in the way of Transporter
ton bottlenecks, work stoppages,
or even one too many cold waves.
These are risks that might not
be erased before next winter. or
even the next one. Mr.. Krug's
warning of possible rationing
can't be shrugged off.
That thin thread of safety can
be strengthened if the American
householder, automobilist, and
industrialist can be made oil-con-
scious-if each will use economi-
cally, and not add to the sum
total of oil-burning equipment
until it is clear there will be more
oil to burn.
Oil for any possible war. Oil for
ten years hence. These are larger
and more SOLDERING questions. The
oil industry, the Government,
and independent researchers are
all pressing for answers. Those
answers must come in time. The
United States knows W h at it
meant to be cut off from its
source of rubber at a critical time.
