fled; that they are just common people I'M
able longer to stand the oppressive tactics of
the present governmental setup in their land
and are prepared to suffer and if need be die
for the future welfare of their country.
Just why are we embroiled in the internal
affairs of Greece and about to become further
and more extensively involved in China, in
support of what it is an understatement to
call reactionary governments? Could it be
that our purposes are not so much imperial
istic as efforts directed by the great financial
and industrial powers to preserve in those
and other countries the essense of the capital
istic system; the right of such groups to ex-
plot the natural resources and the common
people of those countries?
think it is high time for all of us to begin
to question the policies of our government
and to evaluate carefully their future effect
on our democracy.

Another Political Faux Paux?

Assuming that Governor Ford has further political
ambitions it would seem his latest announcement in
Butte before the Woolgrowers convention that MVA
represents state socialism" most untimely. This
in view of the position recently taken for MVA by
the AFL through Pres. William Green. The governor
in previous elections has had count heavily the
more conservative labor vote to put him in to office
His tarrng the MVA with smear brush, only be
interpreted indirect slap at his erstwhile labor
supporters.
In his efforts to brand the MVA something Sub
versve, something slightly tinged with "un-Amercan-
ISM, he has in effect also tarred all Montana AFL
workers with the same brush l wonder if they won't
remember this with vengeance should he again seek
their confidence via the ballot box?

the nation that call for about an 8 percent
reduction in acreage. The goal by Montana
that has been recommended by the Mon
tana USDA council is 4,400, 900 acres, down
7 $1,000 acres or about lis percent from the
1870, 900 acres planted in 1913.
This isn't going to mean that any pro-
ducer who has a certain acreage of good
land all well cared for through the summer
fallow season and ready for seeding should
automatically let Ills percent of it go I'M
planted. That would be poor business for
everyone concerned. But it does mean that
any operator who, in an about effort to
help meet the worlds food needs, has been
planting questionable marginal land or has
risked block farming where stripping is a
sounder practice will do well to put the
marginal land into range grasses and to cut
his block fields into strips.
In short, there need be no hint of arbi-
trary acreage control. Businesslike adop-
ton of sound practices alone should take
care of all acreage adjustment necessary.
To plant every acre of good, well man.
aged land will still be good business and
good patriotism; to do more than that may

ture, but they are to be gained no less than
ever through effort and careful manage
ment. Agriculture has become a highly
specialized activity that challenges the ut
most in training and skill. Profit margins
will be increasingly narrowed and will be
maintained only through expert manage
ment.
Only disillusionment is in store for the
young man who ventures into agriculture
with anything less than the best possible
training gained either through formal
schooling or through on-the-job experience
marked by an open mindedness of attitude
and alertness to all possible sources of in
formation.
Fortunately, Montana rural youth has
been brought, through activities of such
organizations as All clubs and Future
Farmers of America, to a full realization of
both the opportunities and the demands of
agriculture. Members of these organiza-
ions are set well on the way to gaining the
training and skills needed. They are ready
really to go into farming and ranching with
their eyes and minds open and it is for
tunate for Montana that agriculture looks
good to them.

program of soil husbandry.
Again livestock prices are reflecting a
greater stability than grains. Reports in
September show that average cattle prices
were still 96 percent and hog prices 81 per-
cent of the all-time high prices reached for
these classes. Wheat prices at the same time
were only II percent and corn, 81 percent
of their all-time highs.
Furthermore, eating habits of American
consumers nave changed. Wartime pur-

\ HIGH school principal reports that a
"A student he registered for courses this
fall made the remark, "Boy, will I be glad
when l get this high school business taken
care of so I can really go into farming with
my dad"
1t is a good omen for Montana agriculture
that one of its youth should make such a
statement. Certainly it would gladden. the
heart of any farmer or rancher father to
hear it from his son. We can hope that it
reflects the growing attitude of many or
our rural young people.
The remark is a fortunate sign that Mon

bilized at a level that it can provide a prom

years ago this same youth might have pre-

How Much Wheat Are You Going to Plant?
The Editors Page

TOR the first time in several years the
Il Montana wheat producer has to con-
slider the question, "How many acres Of
wheat shall I plant this year?"
Up to now the only answer has been, Gas
many acres as possible" And up to now
that answer has represented the height both
of good business and of good patriotism.
Now it may be neither.
From a strictly business standpoint, it
can be argued that it would be folly for the
farmer not to plant all he possibly can this
year, since he is assured of a price for all
he can raise supported at 80 percent of
parity through the marketing period for
the 1949 crop. On the other hand, if he
should be fortunate enough to have the
weather on his side again next summer and
produce another bumper crop, that crop
will certainly compEcate the chances for
maintaining reasonable support prices after
next year. Even if the producer prefers to
disregard supports, he will have to give
some thought to the effects of free opera
ton of supply and demand.
The United States department of agricul-
ture has recommended 1949 wheat goals for
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-09-15

set in before the war. Consumption OF
wheat has fallen from I'll pounds per per-
son in 1910 to 144.2 pounds in 1913. In con-
trast, meat consumption has increased from
126 pounds per person in 1889 to 155 pounds
in 1913.
And, finally, that spread between feed
costs and livestock prices, that feed ratio,
is likely to continue more favorable. Under
the sliding principle for establishing parity,
grain price supports are lowered while live
stock price supports are increased.
Marketing through livestock still has it's
merits.

Marketing Through Livestock

MARKET produce through livestock.
AtA That used to be accepted as pretty
soundp~ practice. 1t still is, but it was tempo
rarily lost sight of during years of high
grain prices. Now it's coming back into its
own with greater significance than ever.
To all the factors that nave always made
the practice of marketing through livestock
a sound one are now added considerations
that make it even more advisable. An oper-
alton that included livestock has always
been less subject to the more violent fluctu-
atoms that usually characterize produce

merits.

Virgin soils OF the famous PalOuSe wheat
country in Washington contained about 5
percent organic matter, reports the soils de-
partment of Washington State college. Aft
er II years of summer following and crop
ping, the organic matter content was re-
duced to about 4 percent. After 40 years
of cropping there is little more than 3 per-
cent. This reduction in organic matter has
been accompanied by an increase in wind
and water erosion. Now farmers there, as
in Montana, are rebuilding the soil by
utilizing stubble and other crop reSidues.
Another important practice is the addition
of nitrogen through the growing of alfalfa
or sweet clover.
Now that farmers are controlling weeds
in their fields through extensive use of
chemicals and improved tillage practices,
the roadside weed menace has become more
a~ggravating than ever. County commission
ers who do not exert leadership in organiz-
ing effective weed control programs to keep
roadsides from continuing as breeding
places for weed infestation may come I'M
der severe criticism.
Subsurface titled. trashy fallow is the
only type of fallow which has not blown at
any time on demonstration acreage at Froid
Roosevelt county,, Montana, since 1910,
Sos specialists report. Some wind erosion
occurred every year but never on subsur-
face titled plots where stubble was properly
utilized.
Prices paid by farmers nave not increased
in a uniform way. Prices of labor and build
ing materials have risen most since prewar
years, while farm machinery and fertilizer
have gone up the least of the major COM
modities used by farmers.
Fat hogs lose as much as three pounds a
day when they don't have proper protection
from the heat, according to Iowa tests. Even
IN comparatively cool Montana, it pays to
provide shade, ample drinking water and
a good wallow.
