Straws in the Wind
Research TO determine the feasil

Research to determine the feasibility of
establishing wool processing plants in west
ern states is being given some encourage
ment by the USDA. There is a possibility
that a few experimental plants may be
established next year. This is a project that
should have the hearty support of all Mon
tanans. 1t is just one of numerous POSSIBLE
ties for industrial development that will
have beneficial effect for agricultural
producers.
Studies conducted by the University of
Illinois show that the amount of grain and
hay needed to produce a gain of 500 pounds
on a steer, if sold off the farm as grain and
hay, would remove seven times as much
nitrogen, four times as much phosphorus,
and 20 times as much potassium as would
be removed if the grain and hay were fed
to the steer and the steer sold off the farm
for meat.
With feed prices ~trending downward and
the probability that the movement will be
speeded up IN a few months, the outlook
is favorable for profits in dairying, live
stock feeding and poultry. Producers in
these lines who are in full production by
next fall are likely to cash in nicely.

than In the same month the year before,
Montana hatcheries turned out eight per-
cent more than a year ago.
There is going to be an acute shortage of
turkeys next holiday season and there is
every indication that prices will be con-
slderably higher than last year.

Factors That Lead TO Farm Profits

between individual farms, as follows:
L. Amount of gross income for each $500
invested in the farm business. This meas
ures the amount of business lone in relation
to the total investment.
2. Total value of crops for each crop acre.
This measures the yield and selection of
crops.
8. Returns for each $100 worth of the
feeds fed. This measures the efficiency of
the livestock program.
4. Power and machinery cost per acre.
This measures how efficiently the operator
uses power and all machinery.
5. Gross profit for each man. This tells
the total amount of income produced per
worker.
Farmers who are above average in four
or more of the five deficiency factors" had
a management return profit) ST 900 more
than those who were above average in only
three factors Those farmers who were
above average in but one factor, had less
than half the profit of their neighbors who
were above average in four factors.
While farming programs and the condi-
tons in Iowa are different from those in
Montana, most of these deficiency factors"
would probably be just as Influential in de-
termining relative farm income in this state
as they are in the cornbelt.
These factors are good yardsticks for the
individual producer to use in checking up

Changing the Wheat-Carryover Law

But if, as is the case this year, an abnor-
mally large crop were forecast, it would be
just good common sense to try to sweep the
bins fairly clean by June 80 so the market
would be ready to absorb the new crop in
as orderly a way as possible.
The senate agricultural committee took
action a few days ago in urging congress to
abolish the arbitrary carryover regulation.
Differences of opinion developed during the
senate debate on the question with the re-
suit that a compromise measure was passed
reducing the mandatory carryover from
150, OOO, 900 to 100, O00, 900 bushels. The legis-
lation now goes to the house for considera-
ton of that body.
While an improvement over the present
law, the senate bill is still faulty in setting
up an arbitrary figure without provision for
adjustment by responsible officials in line
with changes in the production outlook
from year to year.
The longtime effect of such a law can
not help but be bearish for the wheat mar
ket.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1948-05-01

TT is NOW generally recognized that
4 congress made a mistake when it enacted
legislation a few months ago directing the
department of agriculture to make certain
that a carryover of not less than $50, 000,000
bushels of wheat is on hand at the end of
each crop year. The way the law reads the
$50, 000, 000-bushel specification has to be
followed regardless of the outlook for pro-
duction in the new crop year.
This requirement undoubtedly had some
thing to do with the drastic break in the
wheat market early this year. 1t was not the
only factor responsible but it did contribute
to the sharpness of the drop.
A more sensible policy for maintaining
proper reserves and stabilizing the wheat
market would give some official like the
secretary of agriculture authority to de-
termine the amount of carryover that was
desirable as the crop and marketing year
neared its close. If the outlook were for a
below-normal crop of new wheat then a
150, 900 ,000-bushel carryover might be indi-
Gated.

on this project with 3,849 acres bringing a
gross return of $34.29 an acre.
Spring wheat was third with 1923 acres
bringing an average gross return of 500 Is
per acre.
Other crops which played a part in the
production picture are seed crops, miscel-
laneous hay and forage crops, commercial
beans, potatoes and garden crops. Cattle,
hogs, sheep, poultry and horses contributed
to the agricultural income.
As on many other Montana and Wyo-
ming irrigation projects, the trend in the
Huntley district is toward what might be
termed practical diversification. In the past
some farms have been over-diversified to
the point where it was impossible to make
efficient use of the newer types of agricul-
tural equipment. Now the tendency is to-
ward farming programs which will allow
sufficient acreage in the crops in the rota-
ton plan to permit economic use of labor
and equipment.

The Editors Page

GONE of the factors that make for high
a 15-year study conducted by Iowa State
college in cooperation with 700 practical
farmers.
A successful farm, the investigators
found, produces the highest net income over
a period of years-not just the highest yield
per acre, pigs per litter or milk per COW.
The high-profit farm operator watches
all parts of his business. Superiority in one
part of the farm business does not spell
success unless all parts of the farm opera
ton are properly co-ordinated and efficient
ly conducted All of the ~top-profit farm OPP
orators in the group studied kept careful
farm account records.
The CAT farms under careful observation
showed an average income of $7,577 but the
top 216 farms enjoyed an average income
of $12,576. On the other hand, the bottom
ZIG farms, in point Of income, averaged
S. ,243. Thus, although two groups of farms
were about equal in average acreage and
quality of land, there was a difference of
1888 between the average income of the
top third and the average income of the
bottom third The study showed that the
difference in income resulted largely from
the difference in efficiency of the operators.
Some farmers were just better managers
than others.

factors governing the variations in profits

Sugar beets led all other crops in both

estimated worth of the beet tops but does
not include the federal bonus payments or
