Politics and Farm Support Planning

Both have their good points and their
weaknesses. 1t is debatable as to which
would require the greatest degree of con-
troll. Under certain circumstance of supply
and support level the Hope-Aiken law
might require more control than the Bran
nan plan. Under other conditions the Bran
nan plan would bring a tighter rein.
There is general agreement that the
minimum 60 percent support level of the
present law is too low. Most of those who
favor some degree of flexibility will back
a higher minimum support when this sub
iect comes up for further consideration. On
the other hand, there is a question as to
how much the compensatory payment pro-
visions of the Brannan plan would cost the
federal treasury. Some are afraid that the
cost would be so high that the public opin-
ion might eventually turn against all farm
price and income support measures.
This whole problem of devising an
equitable and workable farm support pro-
gram is so complex that its solution merits
a nonpartisan approach and the pooling of
the best thought of farm organization and
other leaders, as well as thorough discus
sion by community groups. Producers, con-
sumers and taxpayers generally have a ire
mendous stake in finding the right answer.
No program which fails to attract majority
support will last very long.

sources as elevators, governmental offices
and the county agent.
5. Soils are tested and classified.
8. An earning statement is prepared show
penses, taxes, depreciation, maintenance and
the owners share of income. The net earn
ings are capitalized to show the earning
value of the farm.
10. Additional values not reflected in earn
ings such as Improvements, proximity to
towns and markets, influence of schools and
churches, natural resources and many other
factors are shown.
1. Buildings are described and valued.
IL. The final basic value is a long term
value.
While comparatively few individual
farm buyers go through as painstaking a
process in determining the value of a prop
erty as is followed by professional apprais-
ers the points listed above will serve as re-
minders of some of the more important con-
siderations for those who are inexperienced
in such work.
Choosing a farm, whether as a means of
livelihood or an investment, is a serious and
important step for any Individual or family
and it should be taken carefully.

The Editors Page

DON'T like to see the farm program
W become a political football but the
present effort of the two major political
parties is leading in that direction. Demo-
cratic leaders are trying to enlist the SUI
port of all Democrats behind the Brannan
plan. All Republican leaders are mar
shallin9 their cohorts to back the Hope
Aiken law. That isn't the way national
agricultural policy should be shaped.
There are able, earnest men in both
parties who have had long experience with
farm legislation and who can make i'm
portant contributions in improving the
farm adjustment program. A problem as
complex as this one of farm support is bet
ter worked out through thoughtful con-
sideration by agricultural leaders and
thorough discussion before community
meetings. Any hysterical rallying of farm
support behind political banners will serve
to confuse rather than clarity the issue.
AS a matter of fact, there are numerous
points of similarity between the Brannan
plan and the Hope-Aiken law. They are not
as completely and fundamentally different
as some would lead us to believe. Both pro-
vide for allotments, marketing quotas, COM
pliance in order to secure benefits, and an
abandonment of the outdated parity for
mula.

IF YOU are planning to buy a farm or
Il ranch you will do well to apply some of
the yardsticks used by professional farm
appraisers before making a final decision
with respect to the property you are con-
sidering. Seasoned farmers and stockgrow-
ers usually size up a place very carefully
before they buy but younger men who lack
experience are apt to sign on the dotted
line without making a thorough examina-
ton. They learn when it is too late that the
place is too small to make an economic unit,
or that the soil is poor and will not produce
profitable crops in an average year.
The American Rural Appraisal System,
endorsed by the American Society of Farm
Managers and Rural Appraisers, recon-
mends II steps to be taken in appraising
farm property:
1. Preliminary information is obtained
and a study made of aerial photos and maps.
2. The community is inspected.
3. The farm is inspected in detail
4. Fields and soils are mapped and soil
samples taken.
S. Buildings are inspected and measured.
6. Operator and neighbors are inter
viewed.
7. Information is secured from such

OUPPORTERS of the theory of flexible
~ price supports as a device to keep pro-
duction in line with effective demand as
sumo that high prices bring increased pro-
duction and low prices result in lower pro-
duction. The longtime record shows that
prices do affect production in this way but
the response is sometimes slow in coming.
When prices drop some producers try to
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-07-01

increasing production. But when the price
support was dropped from the Sc basis of
last year to $500 for the current season
there was no corresponding reduction in
planting plans. USDA intention-to-plant re-
ports indicated that growers planned to
plant only So percent fewer acres this year.
Production does follow price eventually
but the adjustment often comes so slowly
that there is a costly delay in reaching a
stabilized price level.

produce more bushels in order to maintain
total income at the lower unit price. Then,
too, the very nature of the farming business
makes it difficult to change production
schedules Immediately. There is usally a
considerable lag between price changes
and changes in volume of production.

ample. Higher prices in recent years brought

Production of food and feed r

Production of food and feed per acre
changed very little from 1882 to 1888. But
from 1887 to 1913 production per acre rose
"a percent. Better farming methods, i'm
proved seed and more fertilizer were i'm
portant factors in the increase. Favorable
weather had a lot to do with it, too. In spite
of the greater production caused by the use
of hybrid seed in the cornbelt, the per-acre
output of grain in the spring wheat region
where moisture conditions were especially
favorable increased even more.
City families in America spent an aver
age of $25.57 a week for food in 1913, or 81
percent of their weekly income, reports
USDA. In 1912 city families average $14.23
for food, or 26 percent of their income.
While part of the higher expenditures in
1913 went for higher prices, part Of it went
for increased quantities of food. Urban peo-
pie paid more for their food but they lived
better also.
Use of commercial fertilizer is increas-
ing in Montana, Wyoming and other west
ern states. Estimated consumption in Mon
tana in 1947 was 1900 tons-compared
with $500 in 1910 and only $50 tons in 1889.
In Wyoming a total of $500 tons was used
in 1947 compared with 2 100 in 1910 and $50
in 1890.
Let livestock be the ever-norma1 gran
ary," suggests w. E. Carroll of the Univer-
sity of Illinois college of agriculture. Carroll
points out that the difference between the
low point and the high point of livestock
numbers during the past decade would take
care of nearly 500, 900, 900 bushels of grain
He believes that if livestock numbers are
maintained at ar above the peak level ri
the past 10 years there would be no surplus
grain problem. But to assure consumer de-
mand at a profitable price for this amour
of meat, industrial employment must b.
maintained at a high level.
Production of livestock on farms will in
evitably increase if acreage allotment pro
/ grams are put into effect. A substantia
part of the acreage taken out of grain viii
go into grass and feed crops.

A. POLET RETURNS FROM
 BUSINESS TOUR OF ALASKA

Antonio Polet, Nome'S leading arts and crafts dealer returned yesterday after having made a careful survey of the development of native crafts in the Territory. He personally visited many of the dealers in various Alaskan cities as well as contacting and inter viewing government officials in Juneau as to plans to handle the industry.
 One of the necessary moves de- cided upon, he states, is the organ ization of arts and crafts dealers into an association. He states that to date over thirty dealers agreed to organize and attend a meeting to be called next winter.
 Wherever he visited he found himself called upon to speak with chambers of commerce, Rotarians, Lions Clubs, etc, to explain the achievement and aspirations of the Alaska Development Board, of which he is a member, and found that the widely-varied activities of the board have not been under stood. He stated that he plans to submit to the board the problem of industrial development and tourist economy as we'll as the vii tai inter-Alaska transportati O n problem.
 He stated that Alaska is no long CT child but has reached adult age and must stand on it's own feet and profit from it's wealth and po- tentialities. He does not believe from what he has seen that there will be a business recession and that the future of Alaska is as- sured, but it must be united and developed on sane and construc- tive lines.
