|Rdilbelt Warehouse
 Costs Outlined i11 Study

says the total space requirements at Anchorage are 68,000 square feet. Add 30 per cent for office space, unusable space, etc. and this makes the gross size of the Anchorage plant 100000 square feet. Fairbanks requirements he puts at 50,000 square feet.
 Land in the terminal reserve can probably be leased from the rail- road
 The cost of the 100000 square foot warehouse is about $2,OOO, ,OOO, based on a $20 per square foot price. Equipment for the ware- house would amount to about $lO0,00O and office equipment and supplies, etc, about $10O00.
 Equipment needed in the plant includes: Six 30oO-pound fork trucks; six 600O-pound fork trucks; five pallet trucks, powered; five pallet trucks, hand; rectifier for charging bat teries; bridge plates and 5000 hard wood pallets.
 Salisbury estimates there'd be 38 employees with an annual pay roll of S182,O0O. This would include managers, secretaries, clerks, ware house workers, laborers, fork truck operators building and mainten- ance men, and police security men.
 The wage scale. he admits, is just a good guess. A firm contem- plating going into the public ware housing business would have to consider carefully the wage struc- ture since this would doubtless be the key to whether or not it could earn a profit.
 To return l and one-half per cent on the gross investment, the ware- house would have to charge stor- age rates higher than the prevail ing US. rates. They'd amount 10 about P cents per square foot. Handling charges would be S4.65 per man-hour, as compared with a S2.5O maximum in the US.
 How did he compute this g cents per square foot storage rate? He did it this way: Plant, including interest on investment, deprecia- tion and maintenance, amounts to $67,666. Operating overhead, in- cluding salaries, plant protection, building maintenance and other items, comes to $95,OOO. This totals Sl62,666. With 68,oOO square feet of productive space, this brings the cost per square foot to S239. Add 10 per cent mark-up CA cents) and divide by 12 and he gets 21.9 cents, or p cents per month per square foot-the necessary storage charge, based on his set of figures.
 The figures forces Salisbury to the conclusion that (" a public warehouse is, at best, only a mar ginal opportunity for investment. The financial return is admittedly low and the break-even point in- ordinately high.
 Nevertheless if such an institu- tion can be created, it should sur vive the initial year through skill full management. After this period, the general expansion of the Ter ritory should increase the volume

to set aside their established practices of
selling equipment in line with production
costs and had simply sold all new machines
at auction to the highest bidder. Then, while
the black markets would nave been largely
eliminated, the whole machinery market
would nave become, let us say, a gray one.
And farmers would have had to pay far
higher prices on all the machines and equip
ment they bought.
1t is to the credit of the vast majority Of
responsible manufacturers and dealers that
they refused to put their wares on the auc-
ton block but continued to sell at regular
prices, necessarily higher than prewar be-
cause of rising costs of operation but far
lower than black market levels.
Fortunately the black markets in farm
machinery, automobiles and many other
kinds of merchandise are on the way out
now that production is catching up with
demand in many lines.

each of us, whether as scientists who

citizens of the nation that applies the

we make of this tremendous new force.
ITO our generation has come the posi-
bility of making the most fateful decision
in the recorded history of the human race"
1t would be a fine thing if every citizen
of this country and of every other country
in the civilized world could give earnest
consideration to this simple statement of
the greatest problem confronting the world
today. 1t is greatly to be hoped that every
responsible representative of the United
Nations organization and every world dip
lomat will keep these truths constantly in
mind. Unless fundamental understandings
are reached between the nations of the
world within the next few years, c~iviliza-
ton may indeed be doomed as this great

CECRETARY of Agriculture Clinton P.
y Anderson gave some pretty good advice
to a group of North Dakota farmers a few
days ago in talking about the development
of a permanent farm program during the
present session of congress. The secretary
referred to the consideration which is being
given this question and about the feeling
of some congressman that the thing to do
now is simply extend the period of the
present price support commitment but
postpone basic decisions on the long-range
program until after the election.
ITO my way of thinking, that would be
politicians paradise and hell on earth for
the farmer" declared the secretary. what
we need is a long-range policy and program
legislation before election. Don't let anyone
talk you out of that.
Lets get the issues out in the open so
that the people can approve or ~disapprove
of the stands taken by parties and individu-
ais before they ask for votes and not wait
two, four or six years to nave a reckoning
with those who desert their farmer friends.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-03-15
Long-Range Farm Policy Now

can act of the congress signed by the
president is a bird in hand. It's worth two
dozen promises in the BUSH.
II see no reason whatsoever to wait for
30-cent wheat before you take action. How
much better it would be to prevent a sur
plus than to wait for one to develop and
then take emergency action"
Secretary Anderson is a practical poll
tician and his advice makes sound political
sense. Both senate and house agriculture
committees lave held extended hearings
and have listened to a great many farm or
ganization leaders and others qualified to
express opinions on the best kind of per-
manent agricultural program. They have
the experience of the past to guide them.
They can map out a comprehensive agricul-
tural program just as well now as they
could two or four years from now when
they might have to act in emergency fash
ion.
Individual congressman will consider
their votes on such a measure more care
fully now with an election coming up than
they will after the ballots are cast.

Straws in the Wind
Advantages of conservative stoc

Advantages OF conservative STOCKING as
compared to heavy grazing in restoring
ranges following drouth years are clearly
demonstrated in studies of sheep grazing
at the u. S. range livestock experiment
station near Miles City. Northern plains
ranges when conservatively grazed, re-
covered quite rapidly during the six-year
period following the severe drouth of 1896.
Such desirable forage plants as blue gram
ma, bluestem, wheatgraSS, needle-and-
thread, and threadleaf sedge came back
well. During the same period heavily
stocked ranges failed to recover and rem
nants of blue gramma and other palatable
grass species were largely replaced by low
value ANIMALS. 1t has required several years
without grazing for the ranges depleted by
heavy grazing to be restored to reasonable
productivity.
While specially lines of agricultural pro-
duction are often highly profitable and hold
their own as income producers over the
long pull, they are susceptible to periodic
surplus problems. Potatoes, citrus fruits,
apples, eggs and certain vegetables are
among the specialties that have suffered in
this way during the past year. In-and-out
producers of such lines usually time their
operations in just the wrong way. They
get into production when profits are high
and when harvest time arrives they hit a
falling market. Then they curtail opera
tons and when prices improve they have
little to sell.
If you haven't ordered your seed supplies
for the coming season, don't delay any
longer. Prices for most kinds of seeds are
more apt to strengthen than they are to
weaken as the season develops and seed
of superior quality is going fast.

A Time for Fateful Decision

4 LBERT EINSTEIN is widely recognized
"A as the worlds leading scientist. This
quiet, thoughtful man is also a philosopher.
He is not a prolific writer but when he does
write or speak his words usually nave pro-
found meaning.
There is probably no one in the world
better qualified than Einstein to discuss the
relationship between the recent discovery
of methods of atomic fission and the future
of civilization. For this reason the prophetic
statement he recently made will be of in
terest to every thoughtful person.
Here is what Einstein has to say about
this tremendously important question:
"We scientists believe upon ample evil
dence that the time of decision is upon us
that what we do or fail to do within the
next few years will determine the fate of
our civilization.
"We call for a higher realism which rec
ognizes that our fate is joined with that of
our fellowmen throughout the world. Great
ideas may often be expressed in very SIM
pie words.
"In the shadow of the atomic bomb it has
become apparent that all men are brothers.
"If We recognize this as truth, and act

Farm Machinery Black Markets

chimes originated with persons who bought
the equipment through the regular chan
nels and then, for one reason or another,
sold it to the black market operator. Some
of the equipment came from irresponsible
manufacturers, usually of the f~ly-by-night
variety, who side-tracked the established
dealers and disposed of it at prices substan-
TALLY higher than the regular market. Some
of it came from an occasional dealer who
thought more of a quick profit than the
customers welfare.
The regular manufacturers and dealers
could have put the black markets out of the
picture in a hurry if they had been willing

\ S most farmers know, there has been a
"A black market in farm machinery in
recent years. While it has not prevailed in
Montana to the extent it has in eastern
states, it has been in evidence to some ex-
tent in certain parts of the state. In some
cases the market has been operated by well
organized groups but more frequently it
has been the individual enterprise of some
person who saw an opportunity to take
advantage of a situation resulting from a
demand for equipment that was far in
excess of the available supply.
These black markets have dealt in both
new and used equipment. Some new ma
