for getting across an agency,
an Institution, or even a city
or state. Many a great univer-
sity would never make the
headlines but for its football
team, and thousands trek to
Washington in the spring of
each year mainly to see the
Japanese Cherry blossoms, for
getting or even being unmind-
full of the fact that the entire
world looks to the nations
capital for so much. And the
analogy may be drawn as to
what we consider relatively
minor matters concerning the
Virgin Islands. An advertise
ment, therefore, calling atten-
ton to our character dolls, may
attract many a reader who
would otherwise not recall the
Islands. And thus a double
purpose is served, each i'm
portant in its own right.
Keep up the good work, Bill
Baar.

BY UNESCO

Paris-Fifteen European and
American composers, musicians
and conductors, meeting here I'M
der the auspices of the United
Nations Educational, Scientific
and Cultural Organization, have
approved the establishment of an
international Council for Music.
The main purpose of the organ
ization will be to coordinate the
work of musical associations, to
promote the establishment of ma
tional committees of representa-
tives of musical institutions in
each country, to organize regional
or international festivals, to ia
cilitate the exchange of artists
and their works and to assist in
the diffusion Of musical work.
Similar bodies have been set

Low To Compel
Support of Wives.
Children Proposed

One of the most important
items for the consideration of
the Legislative Assembly was
released by the Acting Cover
nor on Friday at his press con-
ference at the same time cop
les were sent to all members
of the Assembly. 1t is an Act
authorizing and prescribing,
the procedure for civil proceed
ings to compel the support of
dependent wives, children and
poor relatives within and with
out the Virgin Islands.
This bill is identical with a
uniform support of dependents
law which is being adopted in
many States and is sponsored
by the Joint Legislative Com
mlttee on Interstate Coopera-
ton. This Law, if enacted,
would be of great help to both
the Department of Social We'll,
fare and the U. S. Attorneys
office.
District Attorney Francisco
Corneiro in suggesting this
law stated as follows: TN
many instances the efforts of
the Department of Social We'll
fare and this office to see to it
that such children receive ade
quate support are frustrat-
ed by the fact that the parent
has left the islands and gone
to the continent where he is in
a position to ignore our efforts.
The proposed uniform law will
now make it possible for us to
obtain in the courts Of New
York, or other States adopting
the law, judgement against de-
parents. | cannot urge
too strongly that this law be
presented to the Legislative
Assembly"

EDITORIAL
THE VIRGIN ISLANDS CHARACTER DOLL

HI VIRGIN ISLANDS CHARACTER DOLL
THE MOST RECENT product which is helping to put
and keep the Virgin Islands in the minds of people on the
mainland and even in such far off lands as Portuguese, East
Africa, is the Character Doll, being made for and sold by the
international Gift Shop here. Bill Barr, who is no stranger to
St. Croix, but who, to the contrary is very much a part Of the
local scene, has turned to national advertising, and is doing it
through such powerful means as Home and Garden, Hobby
and the widely circulated New York Sunday Times.
THERE is NO question that these advertisements will
bring the hopedfor response. But they have done, and will do
more. People all over the world will become curious, and Civ
ing way to that curiosity, will seek to purchase these dolls
through the mails, and on the spot. Too much cannot be said
tor such a venture, for in this day and time, it has become
increasingly clear that we must seek economic security not
through the big, powerful industrial empires, but rather in a
combination of small ventures which when put together, will
serve our needs. 1t may be handmade furniture, or tropical
fruits and vegetables, jewelry, dolls, and the like, but what
ever it is, each and everyone holds its place Of Importance
in the economic scheme of things,
H INTERNATIONAL Gift Shop is the medium
through which the character dolls are old. Mr.. Baar, the prof.
prietor and operator, engages a number of local youngI
women, whose artistry and dexterty, are> exercised in their
own homes, and at the same time get an added opportunity
tor increasing their incomes. Perhaps in the United States
such a venture, on such a small scale would go unnoticed, butt
matters are different here, and wherever private initiative
shows its hand, we believe that words of encouragement are
perfectly in order. MI. Baar, we believe, deserves credit for
the work he is doing, and the manner in which he has stuck
by his guns, beginning even long before the tourist trade
showed such promise.
TINE AND AGAIN experience has shown that often
some minor, rather unimportant factor has been responsible

to feed every year and take the
profit, or loss, or break even as
conditions may warrant.
A sound program worked out to
fit the needs and ability of the in
dividual farmer is the only safe plan
to follow. Livestock feeding then
becomes a part of the farm plan and
is followed with the same regularity
a seeding legumes for soil fertility
on rotating crops to control disease.
1t is not a hit or miss proposition
but a standard farm practice.
A packing plant would be a big
help to the cattle feeding industry
in Montana-one which would buy
and process fat cattle according to
their grade and quality and which
would pay a fair price for nigh
quality beef. At present there is no
incentive for finishing cattle to a
grade above good" as the price is
just the same for a "choice" or
prime" grade of steer beef.
Thus there is no dollar incentive
for a feeder to make the better
grades of beef and yet there are
plenty of customers who appreciate
and are willing to pay a premium
for choice or prime beef.
The ~fattening of beef cattle for
market is a good clean business
which. over a period of years.
will make a profit to the skillful
operator. 1t is not a get-rich-
quick scheme but a standard
farm enterprise which when
properly carried on provides a
market for homegrown feeds
and helps maintain soil fertility.
producing higher crop yields
and helping TO develop a more
stabilized type of agriculture
and In improved standard of
living on Montana farms.
How Much Profit?
The question every one concerned
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

the cold winter months land here ]
must confess that regardless of what
others may think, I would prefer a
good shed in which to feed-one
where the cattle could be kept at
an even temperature, and the feed
lot kept dry. Cold billiards and
wet, mucky feed lots are not con-
ducive to rapid gains).
Two pounds per day times $50
days is 800 pounds gain, and we
have a steer which will grade choice,
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

weighing LOO pounds. Now
the interesting part. At 20 cents
per pound the steer will return 1920,
which just covers the out of pocket
cost of steer and feed. Nothing for
labor or other actual expenses. At
% cents which allows a 2-cent
margin or spread the steer will re-
turn $242 leaving $22 to pay for
these extras and provide a small
profit. At "a cents selling price
the 4 cents margin necessary to
provide a fair return, the steer will
gross 1854, making a fair return for
the time and money invested.
These figures can easily be carried
in the opposite direction to show the
possible loss when the selling price
is less than the cost and to show
exactly what has happened to a
good many feeders the past two
seasons Of course there should be
a credit for the manure and the
increased crop yields which result
from well fortified farm land, but
this profit cannot pay current bills.
To feed or not TO feed? That
is the question. and every
farmer interested must work out
a plan adapted TO his own needs
and suited TO his own desires.
Feeding is an interesting bust
ness. 1t belongs on irrigated
farms in Montana and some day
il will find itself in some form
as a universal standard farm
practice.
Farm grown feeds will be
marketed on the hoof. Soil fertility
will be not just maintained but in
creased. Crop yields will increase
and we will realize more fully the
value of our natural resources, our
good land with its grass and our
good cattle and sheep to convert
this grass into food and fiber for the
people of the good earth.
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

in this interesting business wants
answered is "How much profit can
I make by feeding?" Here is some
arithmetic taken from my records
which may shed some light on the
subject.
A yearling steer of good beef
breeding should weigh about 800
pounds-in the feed lot October L.
He will eat an average of Is pounds
of concentrate consisting of ground
grain, beet pulp, oil meal, salt and
bone meal per day for an average
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

of $50 days. Il prefer steam rolling
to grinding for the grain). In addi-
ton to the concentrate the steer
will eat an average of 8 pounds of
hay per day, and a mixture of
alfalfa and grass hay is preferable.
Fifteen pounds of concentrate at
today's market will average 2 cents
per pound, or 80 cents per day, or
$45 for the feeding period. Eight
pounds of hay per day at $26 per
ton Cast years price, is 1914 cents
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

per day or $3.50 for the 15o-day
run.
Now we have S60.60 invested in
that 800-pound yearling steer plus
his original cost. On today's market
this steer will cost 20 cents per
pound or $3.50. Add the feed cost,
and we have a total of steer plus
feed of $220.60 and there is no labor,
interest, or charge for the use of
feed lot equipment.
This average steer will gain 2 plus
pounds per day on this ration during
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01

Feed grain literally
throughout the entire
fattening period. is the
advice and practice of
