The Editors Page

VXTIDE differences of opinion have de-
w veloped in congress and among farm
ers over the flexible price support provi-
sions of the long-range farm program en-
acted by the Both congress. AS readers of
Montana Farmer-Stockman know, the law
as it now stands provides for flexible sup
port levels ranging from 60 to 90 percent
of parity depending on whether production
is large or small in relation to consumer
demand.
Closely related to this question of flex-
ible supports is the revised parity formula
designed to reflect changes in production
costs and consumer demand by using the
most recent 10-year period as the base
period for figuring the parity price. Under
the new formula prices of wheat, corn and
some other grains will be lower while prices
of livestock and dairy products will be
higher.
Supporters of the flexible supports and
revised parity formula contend that the
longtime effect of the present law will be
about as follows:
% Livestock-feed ratios will be more fav-
orable, thus encouraging greater livestock
production; () government price supports
will come in at lower levels, centering a lit
tie more on a stop-loss program; 90 farm
ers will have greater incentive to adjust
farming operations to producing the prod
ucts consumers want most; az the potential
SURPRISES of products such as corn, wheat,
potatoes, cotton, and tobacco will be reduced;
90 it will make less likely the use of acre
age and production controls as a means of
adjusting farm productions; (6) it will en-
courage more grass and fewer soil depicting
crops; and CD the farm program will be less
subject to adverse criticism of other groups.
But many producers of such crops al

Grouping Farms According to Income

IF YOU want to know where your farm
l. or ranch is grouped by the economists
of the USDA and the bureau of the CEN
sus, consider the following classification
that has been worked out by these depart
mentS:
Units with a gross annual production of
more than 100000 are classed as "large-
scale farms" Farms and ranches that pro-
duce from $4,000 down to $4,000 a year
are 'large family FARMS" while those in
the So, OOO- So, 900 bracket are called medium
family farms"
While farms in these three groups COM
prise less than 80 percent of all farms
they account for more than IS percent of
the gross agricultural production of the
United States.
Next on the list come farms producing
less than $4,000 a year. These small family
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-15

If production control becomes necessary
after 1949, acreage planted to wheat this
year may not be used in computing the in
dividual growers allotment. A bill will be
introduced during the present session of
congress providing that this years acreage
will not be considered as part of the base
period. The purpose is to discourage farm
ers from overplanting this year in order to
increase their five-year average acreage.
Under the present law if acreage controls
are established the average acreage planted
in the previous five years would be used
as the individual growers base acreage for
figuring allotments.
A measure to authorize war veterans to
acquire submarginal lands from the federal
government is being considered by the state
legislature. The principal result of such a
law would be to encourage veterans to take
over land that has brought heartache and
financial loss to those who lave tried to
farm it in the past. Such legislation would
be ill-advised to put it mildly.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-15
Support Prices and Acreage Control

wheat, cotton, tobacco, beans and potatoes
feel that they will be at a relative disad-
vantage under the new law.
Grain producers agree that a more favor
able livestock-feed ratio would have the
effect of increasing consumption of grains.
On the other hand they do not believe that
anything except destructively low support
prices would have any material effect in
reducing production. And they see no rea-
son why producers of grain and other basic
commodities should be forced to accept so
or 70 percent of parity just because they
have developed the abundant production
that is so desirable from the standpoint of
national welfare and human nutrition.
1t is also pointed out that such a program
would nave the effect of f~avoring the corn
belt states where livestock feeding is a
basic industry and would p~enalize specially
grain producing areas.
The problem of controlling production
under a system of high support prices is
admittedly difficult. Most producers would
like to avoid acreage control and the gov
eminent regulation that would go with it
but some feel that even that would be
preferable to a program of low support
prices that would result in giving the
farmer half pay for producing ~abundantly.
In revising the present law so that it
will be equitable for both producer and
consumer, congressman will need all the
constructive suggestions they can get from
farm and ranch people, and from farm or
ganization leaders. The Montana Farmer
Stockman will welcome letters from it,
readers giving their views ON his i'm
portant question
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-02-15

farms" or "small scale farms" include more
than 40 percent of all farms but produce
only 21.3 percent of the agricultural pro-
duction.
And down at the bottom of the farm
classifications are the "part-time farms"
and nominal units" While this group
represents more than a third of all farms
their production is only 3 percent of the
total. Farmers in this category are mostly
industrial workers who like to live in the
country, retired persons or people who
dabble at farming or gardening while
spending most of their time in some other
occupation.
By the way, the latest revised report from
the USDA showing average cash income
per farm by states for 1947 shows Montana
in ninth place with an average income of
$10,527. Data for 1913 are not yet available.

of the state. 1t DEGREES what information he

what leaders he shall follow, and what
thoughts he shall think"
The president emphasized the fact that
"the American people desire, and are de-
termined to work for a world in which all
nations and peoples are free to govern them
selves as they see fit and to achieve a
decent and satisfying life"
"Above all else" he said, "our people
desire, and are determined to work for,
peace on earth-a just and lasting peace
based on genuine agreement freely arrived
at by equals"
The thing that makes communism Of the
Russian type a menace to world peace rath-
er than just another experiment in govern
ment is the deliberate and systematic pro-
gram of the Soviet leaders to secure domi-
nation over other countries and other gov
ernments by whatever means appear to
offer the greatest promise of success. Such
a destructive policy thrives on world unrest
and poverty.
1t is well to remind ourselves of these
truths in order that We may maintain a
lively appreciation of the blessings of de-
mocracy and a determination to make that
democracy function so adequately that no
philosophy opposed to individual human
freedom and dignity can ever make serious
Roadway in this country. And it is clearly
in line with our tremendous stake in the
preservation of human = liberty in the
world to do all we can to provide leader
ship and encouragement for other free peo-
pies in this time of great crisis.
