Commander Victor c. Bynoe
announced that plans have been
completed to assist World War
II veterans in applying for their
CT. insurance dividends.
II wish to make it clear" Com
mander Bynoe emphasized, "that
these dividends are not a vet
eran benefit being handed out
by the Government. 1t is the re-
distribution of actual surplus
which has been paid for govern
ment life insurance by World
War II veterans. The surplus
has been created by the pres
ent mortality rate Of these vet
Grams, which is considerably
lower than at the time the NOR
tally rate was originally COM
puted."
Virtually every World War II
veteran who had National Ser
vice Life policy in effect before
Jan. /, 1949, whether lapsed or
not, is eligible to share in the
$4,000 surplus. There are

Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-01-15

T Asst SUMMER II young men and
Il women from farm homes in as
many different states were chosen to
represent the All clubs of America
in the International Farm Youth ex-
change-a project that was de-
veloped to foster friendship the
world over by having Americans
living, working and playing with
European farm families during the
summer. The project was sponsored
by the department of agriculture
extension service and supported en-
tirely by donations from companies,
organizations, and individuals inter
ested in world peace.
AS we met in Washington, D.. c.,
before sailing, we learned that al
though we had all come from farm
homes, we came from every section
Of the country, and as we got ac-
quainted on u ship, the USS Ma
rine Jumper, we learned much of
our country's geography and history
again from each other.
The English Young Farmers clubs
were host to our group during the
az weeks that we were in Eng
land, and under their guidance we
saw much of their island country. In
London such places as ST. PauTs ca
thedral, Westminster abbey, the
Roosevelt memorial and Hampton
palace became familiar to us, and we
were very happy 10 see the house
Of commons and to be received at
Yea by the minister of agriculture,
the Hon. Tom Williams.
Extreme Productiveness
The English countryside is really
rs pretty as pictures show it-emer-
aid green and with flowers growing
everywhere. Although we were
struck by the charm and color o.
the country, the thing which really
impressed me was the extreme pro.
ductiveness of the land. Although
this land has been titled for hun.
dreds of years, it is still producing
yields of grain that would shame
many of our Montana "'bumpel
crops" In places l saw fields o.
wheat that were estimated to run
30 or go bushels to the acre, and
have no doubt that they did.
Of course the English farms ar,
On the average much smaller than tn

We Learned Much From Farmers
in England, Sweden, Finland
By JANICE FENSKE, Richland County
Richland County

In addition to the r%ationing of food
to the public, the limited supply of
feed for livestock makes it necessary
to ration animal feed and to closely
regulate the distribution of farm
products.
Rainfall in England is generally
no problem, and the land fertility is
maintained by a careful plan of ro-
tating crops and adding extra fer
tilizer as it is needed. In addition,
the emphasis seems to be On the most
possible production per acre, rather
than the most possible production
per man used, and we were often
surprised at the large number of
men employed on one farm. In COM
parison to the number of dairy herds,
we saw very few herds of beef cat
tie and sheep, for they cannot afford
the grazing land required for these
animals.
Summer in Sweden
From England we split up into
groups and travelled to the countries
where we were to spend the rest of
the summer. l was very happy to
be one of the three who spent the
summer in Sweden. Sweden is the
largest of the Scandinavian coun-
tries and a land of forests, lakes and
mountains, with areas of very good
agricultural land.
1t is one of the most modern of
the European countries today, and
on the larger farms we found good
supplies of machinery - tractors,
combines, plows, binders and milk
ing equipment in the dairy barn.
Much of it is of Swedish manufac-
ture, although they like American
machinery very much and do import
some from England. Although gaso-
line is rationed and very expensive.
we saw many American cars, as well
as European makes. Homes on these
larger farms are often huge and are
well furnished, including some of the
most beautiful modern kitchens ]
have ever seen.
Thanks to the Gulf stream, Sweder
enjoys a temperate climate, al
though it varies considerably from
the southern to the northern part
When we first arrived, we seldom
saw darkness, for the days LASTED
from 2 a.. m. until IL p. m. The win
tiers are long, cold and dark, but tn,
sunny summer days makes it pos
sible for them to grow all kinds O
grain, potatoes, sugar beets, peas an,
oil seeds. On my farm, which wa

c%urrants; in fact the one crop which
was noticeably absent was corn.
Forests Like Gardens
Her forests are her most important
resource, and it is said that Swedish
people eat, drink, wear and live in
products of their forests. Walking
through a Swedish forest is a pleas
ure, for they are generally as neat
with all kinds of wild berries grow
ing underfoot. Especially in the
northern part of Sweden, no farm
is complete without at least some
forest land, where in the winter the
hired help cuts the wood crop which
will be floated away on the lake in
the spring.
In Sweden as in all of the Eu-
ropean countries, we noticed the
thoroughness with which the work
is done, and as a result the farm
homes and the cities are extremely
neat, clean and well kept.
Farming in Sweden today is a
good occupation, for prices and a
market for their products are guar
anteed by the government well in
advance of the spring season.. Like
all European countries today,
Sweden is trying to produce as much
of her own food as possible, and
once again I was impressed by the
intensity of farming and the pride
which a farmer takes in his land
that leads him to follow plans Of
crop rotation and fertilizing thai
keep it at peak fertility.

Farm C~o-operatives

Practically every Swedish farmer
who has anything to sell belongs to
one or more of the agricultural CO.
operatives. About 90 percent of all
farmers are represented in the IA as
sociations which blanket the whole
country and offer one means of help
ing the small farmer make a success
of his business. The biggest head
ache in Swedish agriculture today is
the size of the majority of its farms,
for more than half of her land hold
ings are under Is acres in size-too
small to support much machinery
and to offer the same living stand
ards as in other occupations.
Because of this, the small farms
are in very great contrast to the
large farms. The work is largely
done by hand and there is very little
in the tiny homes of these people.
Many small farmers are migrating
to other industries, and the smaller
holdings, with government help, are
being combined to make a larger
and more profitable economic unit.
In Sweden, as in England and many
European countries today, the farm
laborers are highly unionized.
We were very fortunate to be able
to spend a week in Finland, where
we found quite a contrast to Sweden.
The people and the country are poor,
they have little machinery and the
work is backbreaking. They suffer
from the loss of their land which
was coded to Russia after the war
and from the huge sum which they
must pay to Russia as war debt. We
saw farmers who moved from the
province of Carelia, their best agri-
cultural land, after Russia took over,
and are building new farms and
homes out of dense, thick forest IN
other parts of the country-not with
bu1ldozers and powerful machinery,
but with very little equipment and
much backbreaking work. In spite
of it all, they are a happy, cheerful
people, and we admired them very
much, for they have such spirit and
courage and love for their country
Start for Home

Rural Mail Box
Week Designated

Postmaster A. w. Kalb reports
that the Post Office Department
has designated the first week of
May as the Rural Mail Box I'M
provement Week.
Rural mail boxes which are not
properly erected or which are not
in good, serviceable condition re-
tard the delivery of mail and ex-
pose it to damage from the ele-
ments.
1t is the desire of the Depart
ment to encourage patrons of the
rural delivery service to provide
suitable mail receptacles and to
erect them in such a manner that
they will be readily accessible to
the carrier and present a neat
appearance.
1t is especially desirable that
the boxes be maintained in con-
dition that will assure proper pro-
lection to mail placed therein,
that the names of box owners be
| inscribed ON the side of the boxes
visible to the carrier as he ap-
pYoaches them, and that the
boxes and their supports be kept
painted.
Patrons who have unapproved
boxes of top-opening, revolving
door or other type are not re-
Quired 70 discard them provided
the boxes have been in use by the
present owners for several years
and are maintained in good, serv-
iceable conditions.
Any boxes not of the present
standard type which are of such
design that they cannot be pro,
perly served by the carrier from
his vehicle or are in such condi
tion as not to protect the mai
should be replaced with boxes ol
the approved type.
