TEN YEARS AGO

TEN YEARS AGO
Work on Kennewick's new grass
golf course is progressing satisfac-
torily and it will be in shape for
play next spring. Water has been
turned into the main pipe lines to
test them. Architect James says
that the natural contour of the
land lends itself well to a perfect
course.
School will open on Monday,
August % with ten new teachers
on the staff. The school buildings
have been refurbished during the
summer and everything is in read
mess for the opening day.
School kids from Horse Heaven
will ride to school in a fine new
bus this year. Ellrie Stafford, who
secured the contract is back in
Detroit now taking delivery of a
seven passenger bus to be used.
He and Mrs. Stafford will drive the
car West and have it here in time
for the opening of school.
TWENTY YEARS AGO
Over, so straight cars of peaches
containing 1860 crates each will
be shipped from Kennewick this
year. The Big Y expects to handle
20 cars and the K. Lane johnson
warehouse will ship about 80. The
price is reported as fair.
= Four buildings, 80 to 40 feet
wide and so to 20 feet long will be
erected on the fair grounds to
house the exhibits at this years
community fair. That was the de-
cision Of the grounds committee
and superintendent of the Fair
Association when they met last
week.
The circus is coming on the day

An Era of Good Living for Humans

reason, nor cares for justice, nor is bent by
any prayers"
The new secretary of agriculture believes
the people of the United States lave
learned shat one nation cannot live in
plenty, callous to the needs of others that
are in grave want, without melting envy
and hatred. We see plainly that unless we
use some of our relative abundance to help
nations that are down and almost out we
are driving a nail into the coffin of peace"
Past generations have dreamed dreams
of such an era of good living as Mr.. Bran
nan describes. But never before have the
people of the world had the productive
capacity and understanding to achieve the
material factors of such an era. And never
before has the human race had as COM
plete an understanding of the need for
spiritual development based on the trials
and errors of past ages.
While the birth pains of the new era
are pretty strenuous right now, p%articu-
larly in the Berlin sector, perhaps the
mountainous laboring will bring forth
something more promising than the prov
erbial mouse, as the commencement speak
er suggests. 1t would be difficult to dispute
his main premise that we nave the facili-
ties to achieve mans golden age if we have
the common sense to use them properly.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-07-15

CPEAKING at Colorado Agricultural col
~ lege recently, Charles F. Brannan,
newly appointed secretary of agriculture,
told the graduating class that the present
generation has an industrial and agricul-
tural capacity, and a determination to live
up to its world responsibilities, that should
enable the people of this country to
achieve an era of good living.
And then he explained what he meant
by an era of good living in the following
words: IT mean peace in the world. I mean
prosperity and friendship among economic
groups here at home I mean food, shelter
and clothing, enough education and recre-
alton, enough opportunity and freedom so
that the Individual can develop in body,
in mind, and in spirit, as a human being
by his very nature is intended to develop"
He pointed to the long painful centuries
of mans progress from the primitive strug-
gle for mere existence on a day to day
basis, toward an increasing understanding
of the methods of agricultural production,
and more recently the development of
labor saving equipment. He told how the
Roman philosopher, Seneca, explained the
relationship between agriculture and
peace: "a hungry people listens not to

the measure before the elections was a
last minute victory for farm interests. 1t
has the effect of establishing a kind of
minimum floor under the support pro-
gram. The changes that are contemplated
would presumably be in the general direc-
ton of greater support than provided in
the long range section of the new law,
rather than less, although there is no
guarantee that such will be the case.
AS a matter of fact, some farm leaders
are coming to the conclusion that it would
be unwise to attempt to maintain perma-
nent supports at the 80 percent level. They
are afraid that such a program would dis
courage realistic adjustments in production
and result in the accumulation of such
large SURPRISES of some of the basic COM
modities that the whole plan would even
tually collapse.

Hail Insurance Coverage Inadequate

ance falls far short of requirements for
adequate coverage. In some instances
w have been able to supplement the
partial coverage they have secured from
the commercial agencies with the state
insurance but there are cases where it has
been impossible to get adequate coverage
even through this procedure.
The federal crop insurance is available
in only eight Montana counties.
While the situation which has developed
this season is an unusual one and may not
occur next year it would appear that
growers would be in a safer position if
additional companies established agencies
in the Montana territory.

vXIHILE most farmers nave been able

this season there nave been numerous in
stances where growers have had difficulty
of the favorable crop and price situation.
The demand for hail insurance has broken
all records this year and a number of the
insuring companies have reached the limit
of their acceptances particularly in certain
townships where the demand for insurance
has been very high.
Although the state insurance department
is continuing to accept insurance orders,

Congress Enacts a Farm Program
The Editors Page

VXTHILE the farm price support bill en-
w acted in the closing hours of the
80th congressional session represents a
rather ungainly cross between the house
stop-gap bill and the senate long-range
measure it leaves agriculture in a better
position than appeared likely before the
compromise was reached.
It assures a continuation of the present
80 percent-of-parity support for most farm
and ranch products through 1949. After
that the measure provides price support
ranging from so to 80 percent of parity,
depending upon market supply. 1t is
understood among congressional leaders
thai the bill will be amended and improved
before the period of 80 percent support
expires.

end recently by blaming labor unrest on
high farm prices. The fact of the matter is
that the farmer is less responsible for labor
difficulties than any other element of the
national economic picture. He has produced
at top speed for many years, breaking all
records for total output of farm products.
And he has placed his bounteous crops on
the market without any attempt to fix
prices. Consumers enjoying greatly in
creased incomes nave bid up the prices far
beyond support levels.
Administrators of European relief cannot
pay higher prices than those prevailing in
the United States for farm products bought
outside U. S.. as a result of recent congress
sional action. Among commodities affected
are high-priced Argentine wheat, corn and
flax and possibly M~anchurian ~soybeans.
ECA will be compelled to buy most of
these products on the domestic market.
With states lower down on the Columbia

This should be a good year for the Mon

tracts on western range cattle for fall de-
livery are running fully So per hundred

believe grass-fat cattle sold in August or
early September will bring exceptionally
good prices.
Farmers have matched industrial work.
ers in improved productive efficiency dur
ing the past decade, USDA reports. Gross
production per farm worker has increased
81 percent since 1921, and 80 percent since
1910.
A moderate increase in swine production
is taking place in Montana this year. There
will be still more interest in hogs in this
state when and if hybrid corn well adapted
to Montana conditions is developed.
Supply and demand factors indicate that
meat and livestock values will be strong in
relation to other farm prices for several
years, In the opinion of the American Meat
Institute.
With larger supplies of feed grains be-
coming available, it is probable that less
wheat will be fed to livestock during the
coming year than for several years past.
