FU Proposes Farm Program
State Convention Presents 5-Point Plan

TN MESSAGES by key speakers
4 and in resolutions adopted, the
33d annual convention of the Mon
tana Farmers Union at Great Falls
Oct. 20-23 struck a strong political
note. Emphasized particularly were
warnings against a threat of reac-
tionary and monopolistic forces.
Core of the assembly's action,
however, was the enunciation of a
positive 5-point farm policy, as fol-
lows:
l.. Farm credit - A dependable
supply of low cost credit is required
by family farmers. Cooperative and
federal credit agencies are neces-
sary to supply this credit.
2. Price support - We favor the
continuance of a price support pro-
gram similar to the one now in eff
feet. 1t is imperative to maintain
the present farm structure, includ-
ing extension of the parity price
supports until an improved long
range program is fully operating.
3. Crop Insurance and Storage-A
good crop insurance program prop
erly administered would result in
reduction of production risks, safe
guarding of credit advances to agri-
culture and stabilize cost of food to
consumers.
In order to enable an orderly a
keting procedure we recommended
Commodity Credit Corp. be author
lied and financed to enable them to
return to the farm storage folds.
We urge all farmers to plan and
build as much farm storage space as
needed on the farm for storage of
crops.
a. Soil conservation - Our soil
conservation program has been en-
tirely inadequate in the past, an
nually achieving only a fraction of
the totally needed soil conservation
practices.
In order to assure the continuance
of an abundant supply of food and
fiber for present and future genera
lions we urge a greatly expanded
soil conservation program with ade-
quate financing.
S. Family type farms - We de-
plore the continued absorption o.
family type farms into larger units
and favor the enactment of laws
such as North Dakota has, to limit o.
break up excessively large units o.
corporation farms.
All Officers Reelected
All officers of the organization
were reelected. They are Don W
Chapman, Great Falls, who has he'll
the office since 1912, and Richar,
Shipman, Brooks, vice presiden'
Charles Randerob, Huntley, an
Charlotte Holtz, Floweree, were re
elected to the executive board. HOLD

15>Day Weather Outlook
Montdna-W Wyoming Forecast Nov. LIS
By OSCAR l.. MOLDENHAUER

DREDOMINANTLY cold and moderately wet is the weather outlook
November. We are O the verge of a very favorable period for cold,
stormy weather and can expect below-normal temperatures to prevail
most of this month.
With frequent storm activity the moisture outlook is fairly good ex-
cept that the area west of the divide in Montana may average below
normal That area normally gets almost three times the moisture that
falls east of the divide in Montana and Wyoming during November
and is also the warmest. The area west of the divide is expected to
have the biggest deficiency in temperature.
The normal November snowfall for Montana is 69 inches, while for
Wyoming the normal is IA inches. These ar state averages. A glance
at the accompanying statistics shows that most of our November
moisture comes in the form of snow, and this year, with the indicated
cold weather, that will especially hold true.
Weather Changes
Seasonal temperatures and unsettled weather at the beginning will
be replaced by a storm disturbance, a cold wave and snow to reach
western Montana by the 1t or I'd, crossing this forecast area promptly
for a few days of cold wet weather. There will be fluctuations of tenn
peratures near seasonal levels toward the end of the week, followed
by a new cold wave to move in about the 7th. The area east of the
continental divide, and especially eastern Montana, is indicated to be
coolest at this time. Light precipitation is probable in connection.
A brief spell of warmer but unsettled weather is indicated about
the 10th to 18th, followed by a storm disturbance to begin in west
ern Montana about the 18th and overrun Montana and Wyoming over
the weekend. This is a favorable period for snow in various amounts
and a cold wave to reach northwestern Montana about the 18th and
promptly cover this forecast area through the 18th.

NEED LOCAL
FOSTER HOMES
Welfare Board Searching For
Kent County Foster
Homes
PROVIDES SUPPORT

The Kent County Office of the
State Board of Welfare announc-
es that there is great need for
foster homes for several small
pre-school children. The young
sters are already in the care of
the agency, living in temporary
foster homes, but they all need
care for a long period of time, so
more permanent plan has to be
made for them. Susie, age 4, and
Jane, age 5, sisters, are two of
these children. They came into
agency care some time ago when
they were deserted and left with
kind neighbors who could not care
for them indefinitely. Now they
are happy children, full of fun and
life, needing a foster home where
they can become a real part of the
family and remain indefinitely,
Jackie, age 2, is darling little
boy with a solemn expression and
big brown eyes. His mother and
father are separated, and the faith
er has actually deserted. The
mother is sick and ailing and can
not provide him with home now.
These three and others like them
are in agency care for various
reasons and need foster homes
right now. The State Board OF
Welfare pays board, buys cloth
ing, and pays medical costs for
children placed in foster homes.
These youngsters are not available
for adoption, but need loving care
from foster parents in homes in
this county. Anyone interested in
providing this helpful service to
children in our midst is urged to
write or phone to the State Board
of Welfare, 1921 The Green, Do

EXTEND BREED
SERVICES
To Mark Completion of Six.
Program For Delaware
Dairymen
THREE UNITS HERE

According to plans of the Della
ware Agricultural Extension Ser
vice dairy project, the year 194S
will mark the completion of a six
year program to provide Delaware
dairymen with facilities for secur-
ing the services of outstanding
herd sires. With the organization
of the Sussex County Artificial
Dairy Breeding Unit recently, the
operations of a cooperative dairy
breeding association are available
to all dairymen within the State
except the area between Middle
town and Smyrna. Delmar j.
Young, extension dairyman, says
that services to this area will be
made available during 1948. In re-
porting the progress which has
been made in this program to i'm
prove the quality of Delaware
dairy herds through breeding
program based on the use of out
standing herd sires, Young states
that at the present time over $50
dairymen owning approximately
5000 COWS are members of the CO.
operative. The artificial dairy
breeding program was started in
Delaware in January, 1912 in New
Castle County In January, 1947,
unit was established in Kent
County. Following the organiza-
tion of the unit in Kent County,
the dairymen of the two upper
counties formed a state coopera-
tive association. This state coop
erative has developed a bull stud
at the Strand Farm Barn at the
Delaware Agricultural Experiment
Station at Newark. Along with
the growth of cooperative breeding
of dair cattle by artificial insemin-
alton in Delaware has been SIM
liar growth of the idea throughout
the country until breeding service
to outstanding sires is available in
all of the main dairy areas.

FARM LIVING
OUTLOOK GOOD
Forecast For 194S Farm In
come AS High AS Pre-
viOus Year
URGE FARM PLANNING

1t looks like a Happy New Year
for Delaware farm families, ac-
cording to Louise R. Whitcomb,
extension home management spec
ialist. Miss Whitcomh fcints out
that forecasts indicate that farm
income in 1888 will remain aoout
as high as that of 1947. In addi-
ton debts of farm families, gener-
ally speaking, are at a low level
while bank balances and other saw
ings are high. Supplies of most
things farm families will neea will
be fairly plentiful in 1948. The fact
that many farm homes are not
completely stocked with equip
ment, however, means that there
will be continued strong consum-
er demand. Such a demand means
high prices AMI it is to be expected
that farm family spending will
continue strong
Even with good incomes, Miss
Whitcomb urges farm families to
plan carefully in order to obtain
the things they want and to pro-
vide for maximum security. Faced
with continuation of high prices,
families should make gull use Of
home resources. A year-leund
garden will keep down food costs.
Home sewing and better care of
garments will help meet the cloth
ing situation. Lumber from the
farm and family labor can save in
repairs to the farm buildings and
the farm home. Careful planning
and management will allow more
cash for paying on debts, in
creasing life insurance, entering
into health insurance plans or a
systematic saving program.
