Reds Get Blue Ribbons

The Fourth International Film Fes-
tival ended in discord last week in
Marienbad, Czechoslovakia.
1t was no surprise that Russia
walked away with most of the major
prizes in the only 1949 east-weSt film
competition. The prizes were awarded
by an all-Czech jury. During the two
week exhibition the controlled Czech
press praised Soviet films and acidly
criticized the products of Hollywood.
Italians Walk Out
The Italians walked out the first
week in reprisal for Czech refusal to
participate in the forthcoming Venice
film festival. Czechs followed the lead
of the Russians who announced they
would boycott both the Venice and
Cannes festivals this year because
the rules there were "capitalistic
and discriminatory against real pro-
gresSive art"
The Soviet film, Battle of Stain
grad" was awarded the Grand Prize
although it hardly could be consid
cred a 1949 picture. Another Soviet
film, Meeting on the Elbe," wa:
awarded the Peace Prize. Both these
films are sharply critical of American
and British policies.
The third major award, the Labor
Prize, went to the Hungarian film
''An Inch of Soil"
A Red actor, Alexander Borisov
received the international oscar" fo
the best actor for his work il
"Academician Pavlov."
Native Land Cited
The only Americans to win prize
cot them for screen play and techni
cal work in the documentary "Nativ
Land" which criticizes social injus
tices in the United States. Tn
Americans honored were David Vol
Leo Hurwitz, Paul Strand and SINCE
Paul Robson.
Although the Russians walked o.
with the honors, the crowds focke
to see American films. Scalpers reape

such entries as Johnny Belinda" an
Treasure of the Sierra Madre."

FARM SHARE LESS

The farmers share in the re-
tail food dollar which dropped
below the one-half mark for the
first time in six years last April
has further decreased TO 48 cents.
The bureau of agriculture eco
nornics attributes the decline TO
two main causes-the reduction
in retail food prices and the
greater stability of marketing
margins and costs.
While the farmers share in the
food dollar has been going down.
marketing charges are taking
larger percentage because they
have increased rather than de-
creased.

COS and are still in use, although
the double rig with the flank cinch
is the most popular, particularly in
rough or mountain country. Differ
ent localities had their preferences
for both kinds of rigging and trees,
and a man might be tagged as COM
ing from a certain range or state, by
the type of saddle he used.
The Visalia tree was one of the
more popular trees. The fork was
ga" type and seats often measured
as much as 19 inches. Cantles were
4 inches high or more and were
not as broad as the present day
pattern and were not dished as
much as the modern cantle.
The dees were leather covered,
and many cowhands still tied lati-
goes rather than use tongue on
the cinch-ring Tackaberry buckles
were in use in the COS, but even
in the latter 1900's some range hands
did not trust them.
Swelled Fork
Perhaps the most radical change
in saddles was the swelled fork,
and there were some freaky look
ing outfits that were sold. The
swelled form was derivation of the
''bucking roll" which was designed
to take the place of rolled up coat
or slicker strapped over the "a"
fork to give the rider little more
edge on a linberneck-who was de-
termined to rid himself of his rider
on very, very short notice.
The writer recalls the first swelled
fork that he saw-and remembers
that old hands were much amused
at the affair. Saddle makers now
say that the tendency is again to
go back to the narrow fork and
Mexican horn. The swelled fork is
more practical where the rider uses
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-09-15

a short Stirrup, which seems to be
the more favored with younger
riders at the present time. The seat
of some young riders today is more
like that used with an English rid
ing saddle than a stockman's shell"
Old-time riders rode with almost
a straight stirrup leather and did
not post" In fact good rider was
supposed to stick to the saddle re-
gardless of the gait of the horse.
For that reason a. good running
walker-or a single-footer was liked
as a manufacturing being some
what uncomfortable gait-and the
gentle lope of the old-time stocky
cowpony was enjoyable.
Flat Plate Rig
One of the modern innovations
which is a distinct improvement is
the flat plate rig. This is particular
ly good with a single rig in that
it does away with lumpy bunch
of latigo. The skirts lie flat-and it
prevents some of the saddle sores
which old-time rigs often caused
especially where the rider was too
much worried about his mount.
The old-time saddle, after being
broken in, was comfortable riding
one, however, whether made in
Gallup, Pueblo or Cheyenne. The
name of the place of manufacture
was used more than the name of the
maker, although Fraser, Meaney,
Furstnow and other manufacturers
names were bywords in rangeland.
Modern manufacturers have aban-
doned the use of so many extra
pieces of leather which comprised
the seat, Jockeys and skirts, and
tenders and stirrup feathers are
made in one piece. Heavier stock is
used Most of the old time catalogs

ros" in old Mexico today. The
wooden tree was covered with raw
hide which was shrunk on and held
in place with braSs-headed nails or
nails and screws headed with sill
yer.
Horn Round, Broad
The horn was round and broad,
topped with brass or silver medal
lion. The stem of the horn was thick
and stout. The single skirt was so
small as to make the saddle look like
an unfinished job. Brass rings for
fastening reata-rawhide rope
and other impedimenta were on the
fork and skirt
The rigging was Spanish type
that is it hung around the fork. The
latigoes were tied and no buckles
used. The entire rigging was ex-
posed. The stirrups were box style
and hung on narrow leather and
were without tenders.
Evidently this was the daddy of
all stock saddles, the new doo-dads
were added as time went on. When
full skirts came into use and tenders
were adopted the Mexican style of
loop seat"-where stirrup feathers
were looped over the housing and
through the tree-was still used. For
some time leather housing was in
use which was one-piece affair
which fit over the horn and cantle
and which range men referred to as
a Mother Hubbard"
The earliest Mexican saddle had
a leather cinch lined with buck
skin. This type of cinch, which was
followed by the woven cinch, was
still in use in the COS and is listed
in the catalogs of saddleries of that
time.
Double Rig Developed
The gradual refining of the stock
saddle would be long story 1t is
interesting to note just what the
saddle of the COS looked like, COM
pared to the present day outfit
The Mexican favored single rig,
Spanish type, but the Texan did
not find this practical for hard and
fast roping, so the double rig came
into being.
The Californian, however, stuck tc
the single rig but moved it back SC
that the cinch ring hung about the
middle of the outfit. This was called
"center fire" rig.
Later on the rigs were changed
by moving the hanging of the cincf
forward trifle, originating the 5s
"a and rs rigs. Both double ane
center fire rigs were used in the

Times and conditions change-and
this is true of methods and equip
ment. While we should accept things
as they are at the time, it is of in
terest to look back and note the
changes-in a non-critical way. The
evolution of the saddle provides a
subject of interest to every stock
man.
A Fine Art
Saddle making in the west is a

have really the spark of genius

and cities in the cattle states. When

maker went to his work wearing q

ried a cane. He was an aristocrat
among workers. Certainly, the mod
