"Of all the many advances of American
agriculture since the turn of the century,
one of the most significant has been the
development of the farmer-committee sys-
tenn for farm program planning and admin
istration," says Secretary of Agriculture
Brannan. II can think of no more convincing
way for farmers to insure the continued
effectiveness of their democratic farmer
committee system, for local administration
of national farm programs, than for an over
whelming majority of them to participate
in their own community elections"
About % percent of the beef cattle pro-
duced in Montana in 1910 were shipped west.
In 1940 about AZ percent moved in that di-
rection. The rapidly increasing population in
the Pacific coast states is the reason. Mon
tana used to be at the end of the market line.
Now it is in a more favorable middle posi-
ton with respect to meat and numerous
other products. This creates new opportuni-
ties particularly for those who are in a
position to finish cattle and other livestock
for the slaughter market. The big west
coast demand is for finished stock, not for
feeders.
Industrial strikes hurt farmers. Urban
workers cut down on the buying of meat,
eggs and other perishables when the pay
checks stop. Many farmers believe there
must be some better way to settle labor
disputes. Some farm leaders are inclined
to favor the setting up of a system of labor
courts designed to settle such controversies
on an equitable basis. Whether such courts
could be kept free from political or other
bias is another question.

Price outlook for cattle and lambs during
1850 is relatively more favorable than for
most other farm products. Economists be-
lieve prices of farm products on the average
will decline about 10 percent during the
coming year. Costs of goods and services
farmers buy will probably decline about 3
percent.
Prices of most farm products will average
somewhat below loan rates during the 1850
season in the opinion of market observers.
Wheat prices may be 20 to 80 cents a bushel
below the loan rate depending upon the
extent of noncompliance with the acreage
allotment program.
Acreage allotments didn't reduce cotton
production in the deep south very much
In the '3Os. Farmers just poured on more
commercial fertilizer and increased acre
yields.
Average feed costs have dropped more
than livestock prices in most instances

Straws in the Wind

Outlook for new irrigation projects de-
ponds greatly upon the enactment of a bill
now before congress changing the reclama-
ton law with respect to ALLEGATION of costs
of construction. The new bill would set up
a new classification of "non-reimbursable"
.costs-project costs which irrigation farm
ers would not be called upon to repay. Be
sides flood control and navigation items al
ready in that category, they would include
costs for fish and wildlife conservation,
recreation, salinity and sediment control,
improvement of public transportation, pro-
lection of public health and promotion of
the national defense. With most of the
'easy" projects already constructed, many
of the remaining projects would not be
feasible unless costs were distributed in this
way.

Federal crop insurance program will be
expanded under legislation enacted at the
last session of congress. A 80 percent in
crease is authorized each year 1950-53 in the
number of counties over the number author
lied in 1948-49. FCIC is also authorized to
expand the multiple crop insurance plan

F. D. r.. DETECTIVES

Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, widow of the
late Franklin Delano Roosevelt, who was
elected President of the United States for
four terms, gives some interesting side
lights on their life in the White House in
her book, This Remember
Interesting is the revelation that the
late President had pet economies. such
as never owning more than two pairs of
shoes or paying more than 500 for a
shirt 1t is also amusing to understand that
he enjoyed specializing on how he could
disappear with $4,000.
The book is not devoted exclusively to
the minor incidents of the busy life of this
couple. Mrs Roosevelt pays wifely tri-
bate to her husband, however, saying that
while he was ambitious and enjoyed pol
itics as game, throughout the whole of
Franklins career, there never was. any
deviation from his original objective ~
to help make life better for the average

THE FARM AND THE ELECTRIC AGE

According to a recent survey. about
5000 900 farms will be receiving electric
service By the end Of this year. And the
value Of the immediate market for electri-
cal appliances among these farm families
Is estimated at $750,OOO,OOO.
The average farm family, the survey
also found, wants to spend about $50 on
power equipment. More than forty differ
ent types Of electrical machinery are de-
sired Immediately, with home food freez-
ers, electric water systems, and electric
ranges leading in demand, followed BY
water heaters and refrigerators.
What this means is that agriculture
represents huge and expanding market
for labor-saving coAveniences of many
kinds including both those used in the
home and those which contribute to the
operation of the farm as business. More
over. this potential market indicates the
vast changes in rural living that rural cleo
trification- pioneered and perfected by
the private utility companies-has caused.
The modern farm home can be as comfort
able and as efficient as the modern urban
home. BY the touch of button or the turn
of switch tasks can be accomplished
swiftly and cheapl once required

Within relatively short time, almost
every farm in this country that wants CEN
trail station electric services viii have it
available. The utility industry started
several years ago on the greatest, most
costly, and most intense rural electricifi-
cation program in history. Significantly, it
has been paid for with private funds, has
not been subsidized by the taxpayers, and
has created great new taxable assets for
all forms of government It is thus in direct
contrast with all the schemes for sicializ-
ing electric service at cost of billions
And it is a typieally American achieve
