World Democracy-and the Great Plains
The Editors Page

TT IS literally rue that the eyes of the
L world are upon the Great Plains region
of the United States this year. Millions of
people in Europe and Asia are depending
upon American wheat and other farm
products for a substantial part of their food
supply.
A short crop in this domestic wheat area
would sharply reduce the amount of grain
available for export during the marketing
year beginning July l, 1913. Such a result
would nave tragic consequences in the
countries overseas where serious food
shortages exist.
In the present emergency the Great
Plains region has outgrown its title of "the
breadbasket of America and has become
at least temporarily the ~"breadbasket of the
distressed people of the world" AS one OBJ
server puts it, a good rain in the great
plains this season will mean much to the
people of Europe.
Farmers of Montana and other states of
the region will be carrying a tremendous
responsibility this year and perhaps for
several years to come. The vigor and in

and irrigation districts will find it to their
advantage to plant a maximum. acreage in
1948 is to help prove the ability of the
beet sugar industry to overproduce the
quota that is provided by the present sugar
act. Only in this way can there be a clear
cut demonstration of the need for a larger
domestic beet sugar quota. Such a demon
stration is highly important to the c~ontinu-
ing campaign to raise the domestic beet
and cane sugar quota above the 30-percent-
of-domestic-sugar-consumption mark set by
the present law.
AS pointed out in the resolutions of the
recent convention of the Western Beet
Growers association, the domestic produc-
ton quota should be raised to so percent
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-15

DOMESTIC sugar production is building
IL up to the point where it appears likely
that acreage quotas will be placed in effect
in 1949 under the provisions of the ma
tional sugar act. 1t is highly important
therefore that Individual growers who plan
to continue with sugar beet production
panies will contract for in 1913.
The 1913 acreage will be included in the
historical base upon which acreage allot-
ments will be made in the future and it is
to the interest of the grower to make his
base period acreage as large as possible in
order to secure a favorable quota in 1949
and later years.
Another reason why individual growers
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-01-15

of total consumption in order to accommo-
date present acreages available for sugar
production and new acreage about to come
into the picture through irrigation devel-
opment.
If the beet producing districts substan-
TALLY increase acreages in 1948 the organi-
cations working for better treatment of
domestic producers under the law will be
strongly supported in their campaign.
1t is completely clear therefore that
growers who arrange for maximum beet
acreage for the 1948 season will be serving
their own best interests for 1949 and flu
ture years.

Straws In the Wind

If the present production outlook for tur-
keys should actually materialize into the
indicated 30 to 40 percent reduction in
supply for 1913 holiday markets, reported
by some authorities, turkey will become a
high priced luxury item. Growers were
alarmed by the early season drop in prices
in 1947 and they fear still higher feed
prices. They are also concerned about the
capital risk involved. But if anything like
a 80 percent drop in production occurs the
growers who stay in the business would
probably make a handsome profit. Smart
operators will do well to take another
look at the 1948 outlook situation before
deciding to go out of the business.
1t is comparatively easy to succeed on a
rising market. When a man makes money
for several years in a row running a farm
or a business he is apt to feel that he is a
pretty smart manager and that the meth
DDS and programs he is following are all
right. But poor management shows up
pretty fast when prices are falling. Now
is a good time to look over your operations
and methods with a cold and critical eye,
and make improvements that will enable
you to better weather the less favorable
years which are bound to come.

District School Board
Moves 10 Cut Teacher
Lobbying in Congress

A change in rules to prevent Dis
trict school teachers from lobbying
in Congress on school matters which
the Board of Education has not
taken up was under consideration
today by the board Rules Committee.
First reaction to the proposal by
teachers was one of disapproval.
But they have not had time to study
the proposal and are not sure what
the board committee and school
superintendent have in mind.
Meeting yesterday, the committee
asked School Supt. Hobart M. Corn
ing to draw up the new rule after
he had proposed the change to the
group. The committee, headed by
George E. c. Hayes, is revising the
rules under which the school system
operates.
The present rule merely says the
board "looks with disfavor" on ef-

forts of teachers to get legislation
passed In Congress unless It has
been presented to the board for ap-
proval.
Paul Cooke, head Of Local n,
American Federation OF Teachers,
put 1t this way:
I'VE feel the teachers should not
be blocked In presenting their
views"
He said that If the board means
that once it has considered pro-
posal-and disapproved it-all views
are to be bottled up," then his
group would be opposed to it. The
matter will be studied and repre-
sentatives Of the AFT will appear
before the board to present their
views, he added.
Confidence Expressed.
"We have the fullest confidence in
the school superintendent and the
Board of Education" Mr.. Cooke de-
clared, adding that his union nat
urally would abide by whatever rule
Is adopted.
Mrs. Catherine Hurley, president
Of the teachers branch, CIO. United
Public Workers, also said she felt
that the teachers should not be
blocked completely from going to
Congress. She said she could see
Evening star., 1948-05-14

where q problem might arise II
something about which the teachers
feel strongly is proposed to the
board and turned down.
Mrs. Hurley said. however, that
her union always has gone to the
board first In the past and has found
the members sympathetic. Some
safeguard probably would be needed
in any such rule the board might
adopt so that teachers would have
recourse If proposal were disap-
proved, she said.
She indicated she too would pre-
sent the views Of her union on the
matter to the board.
Teachers Criticized.
In recent months, teachers have
been criticized by some board men,
bers for bypassing the board and
going directly to members Of Con-
gress on the salary raise question.
The rule change being considered
would make such action cause for
dismissal.
Mr.. Hayes asked DR.. Corning to
explain in the draft Of the proposed
change just what was meant by
lobbying" saying II it was to be
q cause for dismissal, 1t should be
clear what constituted a violation.
He also asked what attitude the

Army C.54 Transport
Crashes and Exp|odes;
Grew Of Three Killed
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NORTHAMPTON. Mass, May a.
"A C-54 transport plane-fying on
instruments through a driving rain
storm-crashed with an explosion
and burst into flames here yester-
day, killing its crew Of three.
The four-engined plane hit the
ground with terrific force-driving
a hole feet deep in a soggy field
and splattering wreckage over five
acres.
Air Transport Command head
quarters at Westover Field-a few
miles away--said the transport car
ried three crewmen.
Onicers identified the dead, all

and S/Sergt. Jack Zaresky, rs, Jack

ATC officials said the transport
was on a routine training mission,
practicing instrument flying in the
immediate area Of Westover Field.
Just before crashing, the plane was
seen skimming tree-tops and mar
rowly missed hitting the top Of a
farmhouse. 1t plunged within so
feet of the house in field and blew
up. The blast could be heard six
miles away.
Mrs. John Adams, whose farm
house was almost hit. said:
II was in the kitchen when I
first saw the plane. 1t was flying
very low-so low, in fact, that I
thought it was going to hit the top
Of my house.
TT crashed only few feet away.
I heard a terrific explosion a few
minutes later and then saw the
plane burst into flames"

which has happened on numerous
occasions.
Adelbert w. Lee, committee men,
