II deeply appreciate the efforts
and give credit to the vast ma
jority of officers and enlisted men
who have so uniformly given loyal
service to the guard" Col. hewitt
said today. Most Of them have
pulled very hard to make the Dis
trict Guard what it is today. In
this they have had a doubly hard
task, because of some in the Guard
who have been trying to hold 1t
back"

militia as a civilian in 1912. He
served as an enlisted man In
World War I and from 1923 to 1941

Regulating Use of Underground Water

No public ground waters can be wasted
without economic beneficial use-flowing
wells must be capped or Waived, and leaky
pipes or fittings either below or above the
ground are prohibited. Changes in ground
water zones may be proposed by the super
visor of hydraulics or through petition
signed by at least so or one-fourth, which
ever is the lesser number, of water users in
the area or zone.
Public notice of any ground water zone
modification is also required in three week
ly issues of newspapers of wide circulation
in the area. The withdrawal of water may
be decreased by order of the supervisor if
total supply is inadequate for current needs
of an area.
Also provided for are hearings, court
determinations, jurisdiction, investigations,
reports, supervisor of hydraulics staff,
qualifications of personnel, salary and other
essentials.
Farmers who are using or planning to use
underground water supplies, as well as
agencies concerned with proper utilization
and conservation of land and water, will do
well to give serious consideration to the
need for a similar underground water code
for Montana.

than operating costs, the price-cost squeeze
is usually absorbed by accepting a lower
standard of living or by eliminating expen-
ditures that nave to do with the mainte-
nance of farm equipment and farm build
ings.
Where the farm is free from debt the in
come that is left after paying operating ex-
penses can be used for family living, up
keep of the farm or investments. Where
there is a substantial indebtedness payments
on interest and principal become a very i'm
portant factor in affecting the family's
standard of living.
These considerations are not so important
during a period when farm income is rising
faster than operating costs. But they are
very important in an adjustment period
when prices received fall faster than prices
paid for goods and services. Or when income
shrinks because of poor crops.
The farm or ranch operator who knows
about where his break-even point is will
be in a better position to meet a situation of
this kind by adjusting his operations and
by keeping controllable expenditures in line
with income than will the man who waits
until his bank account tells him that some
thing is wrong.

What Is Your Break-Even Point?

HAVE you ever tried to determine the
IL break-even point for your farm or
ranch enterprise?
AS the bureau of agricultural economics
pointed out recently, manufacturers and
other businessmen give a lot of attention
to this factor in their management pro-
grams. They have certain fixed costs and
other costs tina fluctuate with the volume
of production. 1t is important to determine
what income they must receive in order to
balance their costs of operation. And what
level of production permits the lowest per-
unit output.
When these factors are known it is easier
to keep things under control and take any
possible steps to avoid or minimize losses.
Some farmers and ranchers lave also
found it helpful to estimate their break
ever point as accurately as possible. 1t
varies, of course, with different farms and
different types of agricultural production.
But an individual producer can figure about
what his break-even point is by adding up
his costs of operation, including taxes, in
terest on loans and all other items. One of
the chief variables is the family living ex-
pense and the farmer will nave to set up
some arbitrary figure to cover this factor.
During a period when income falls faster

Straws in the Wind

Sheep lave a place On many Montana
ranches. They permit more efficient utili-
zation of grass and greater Investigation
of production which tends to stabilize in
come. Sometimes cattle prices go down
while lambs and wool hold their own or
even increase in price. In other seasons it
works the other way. The rancher who
spreads his risk by producing cattle, lambs
and wool will usually come out better in the
long run. Sheep numbers now are at their
lowest point since the Civil war days.

MYTH irrigation pumping from under
W ground sources increasing steadily in
many districts of Montana, water-right
questions are beginning to arise. If the
situation is permitted to go without legis-
lative attention during the next few years
a tangled condition of conflicting claims will
develop comparable to that which now ex-
lists with respect to surface water-rights.
Lack of foresight in the early days Of
the development of irrigation from surface
water supplies has resulted in costly litiga-
ton and serious losses by many individual
farmers who bought irrigated farms only
to find that the water-rights did not stand
up in court when disputes arose.
Other western states have taken steps to
avoid future trouble regarding ground wa
ter-rights and the time has come when
this kind.
The state of Washington has such a code
setting up regulations governing the rights
to underground supplies. The act is admin
istered by the same supervisor of hydraulics
who has charge of the ALLEGATION of surface
water rights.
Subject to existing rights all natural or
artificial ground waters are declared be-
longing to the public under the Washington
law. Any person or any industry desiring to
use more than 5000 gallons Of water per day
from such an underground source is re-
quired to obtain a permit from the state
and maintain beneficial use of the water
supply.
Separate priorities are required for each
ground water area based on the original
filing date of application for withdrawal Of
water. In case of underground water con.
tributing directly to a surface flow, the own
er of surface water rights has prior claim

another look at u. S. savings "E" bonds.
These bonds pay 20 percent interest but
what may prove still more important is the
profit you will derive from the investment
through the increased purchasing power of
the dollar. A 500 "E' bond, payable in
full in 1853, can be purchased for $75. But
if the anticipated downtrend in commodity
prices continues during the next few years
these dollars will buy more than they will
today. So your "E" bonds will not only pay
you interest but will give you increased
purchasing power as well.

In times of declining prices it seldom pays

Grain storage is likely to be far short Of

find it to your advantage to put your wheat

This is a poor time to go into debt. The

Next Move in Peace
For Palestine Seen
Up 10 Egyptians
by the Assoeiated Press

RHODES, Feb. 4.-The next move
If any-in Israel Egypt armistice
talks appeared to be UP to Egypt
today.
DR.. Ralph J. Bunche, United
Nations mediator of the Holy Land
war, hoped, meanwhile, to get going
soon on enlarged negotiations which
would include all the Arab nations
opposed to the new Jewish state.
So far DR.. Bunche has been sitting
around the table only with rep
resentatives of Israel and Egypt.
These talks began January IL. DR..
Bunche said yesterday important
differences" remain to be ironed out.
The chief disagreement seems to be
how the Negeb desert area in South
ern Palestine will be divided.
Now with DR.. Bunche asking the
other Arab states to sit down with
Israeli representatives and him-by
next Wednesday, according to q U. N.
spokesman-the heat seems to be on
the Egyptians.
Observers said Egypt does not
want to be isolated from any stand
taken by other Arab nations. DR..
Bunche's invitation to make the
talks all-inclusive, these observers
said, might put more pressure on
Egypt to compromise on the Negeb
desert line.
Israel has refused to accept DR..
Bunche's proposal. which would
force the Jews to give up territory
they won from Egypt in fighting
shortly before the armistice talks
began.
One source in Haifa said Israel
will withdraw from the Rhodes talks
today unless Egypt yields on this
point.
Meanwhile, members of the U. N.
Cancellation Commission were In

tine problem. Commissioners held
their first full meeting yesterday,

Air Force Is Favored
Over Navy on Funds
AT House Hearing

Tne Navy received lndlrect
word today that it probably
would have to play second fiddle
to the Air Force in Congress as
the controversial Air National
Guard liberalization proposal
became an issue in the hearing
on the bill to authorize 70 air
groups.
Congress attitude toward the Navy
came In the form of a lack of any
responsive spark among legislators
to Secretary of the Navy Sullivan's
announcement yesterday that the
sea arm would have to lay up "a
ships and cut its strength 10000 men.
This was In direct contrast to the
strong sentiment that has grown up
in Congress to push Air Force
developments far beyond the 49,
group setup proposed by President
Truman.
Chairman vinson' predicted that
the House Armed Services Com
mittee will approve the 70-group bill
Monday.
Symington Testifies.
The proposal that control of the
Air National Guard be taken from
the States and given to the Air
Force, which has been forwarded by
Defense Secretary Forrestal to Mr..
Truman, brought arguments before
the committee yesterday.
Air Secretary Symington said the
Air Force must have some control
over the Air Guard for security
reasons, since 1t is the Nations first
line of defense and must be avail
able for quick action In an emer-
gency.
He testified in reply to a COM
plant from Maj. Gen. Milton A.
Reckord. adjutant general of Mary
land and legislative chairman of the
q politically powerful National Guard
Association. that the bill would al
low the liberalization of the air
units without consulting Congress or
the States.
Full Hearings Assured.
The Secretary agreed that the
Air Guard should not be federalized
without specific authority from
Congress to provide adequate pro-
lection for the identity of State
units. Mr.. Vinson assured Gen.
Reckord the committee would not
approve any such legislation with
out full hearings.
Characteristic of congressional re-
action to Mr.. Sullivans announce
ments of two Democratic members
Of the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee.
Senator oMahoney Of Wyoming
said: 4
We've already got the biggest
Navy in the world. AS long as we
.keep UP to snuff on submarine war
fare, I don't think we have to worry
too much about the budget limits"
Senator Russell of Georgia said
Congress was not concerned so much
with what ships are being with
drawn from active service as with
what ones still will be afloat.
Emphasis on Lighter Ships.
In this connection Mr.. Sullivan
said the reductions would be off,
set by addition of 80 ships to the
operating fleet. The new ones in
clude "a destroyer types, two car
riers, heavy cruiser, light cruiser
and two submarines.
This would have the effect of shift
ing emphasis to lighter vessels
adapted to anti-submarir1e work, a
move that apparently was pleasing
to many in Congress.
For instance, Senator Byrd, Demo-
crat OF Virginia. always big Navy
man, said he understood submarine
developments had gone ahead so
rapidly that this country must con-
centrate on that field. He added,
however, that the surface Navy must
be kept ready for convoy duty.
